Good point. I am not a cryptologist, but as an amateur I figured that it would be simple enough to keep all software that could be easily cracked on the server side, safe from attacks. Thats just me, though, I'm sure the people who design these systems know better.
Ahhhh, interference patterns. I know laser light doesn't have a 'surface', but I just didn't understand how a beam of light could have "pockets". It makes a bit more sense now.
And this show still had one of the greatest final episodes ever, mixing metaphysical and even religious subjects with the sci-fi technobabble of the show's premise. I miss that show so much.
I don't see how it could crack into a computer any faster than a modern computer, since the number of times you are allowed to try and crack a machine is based on the speed of the machine being cracked, isn't it?
The holes - dark spots in an egg carton-shaped surface of laser light - could one day cradle atoms for quantum computing."
This means that the surface of laser light is egg-carton shaped. Someone may want to run this through a basic grammar checker, and try again (unless I'm totally mixed up on what light looks like at great magnification;))

... a large part probably has to do with the parents letting their kids sit and surf the web for nine hours a day, and not doing anything mentally stimulating. I mean, if you let a kid surf all he wants, he's probably not going to do anything that involves, oh, I don't know, math.
... you buy it in Canada. Budweiser brewed in Canada is brewed by Molson (I think... or Labatts)... using Molson's techniques. In a recent taste test, 3 out of 5 people couldnt tell Canadian beer from Budweiser brewed in Canada. 5 out of 5 knew EXACTLY when they had tasted the American Bud.
I just think it's funny that Budweiser, knowing that not a single damn Canadian would buy THEIR Beer, just brew Canadian beer and stick it in Bud cans. There's a metaphor there, but I can't quite get a grip on it.
How can he be priased by hardcore fans around the world only in the Netherlands? Thats like saying I have girlfriends around the world, a few blocks away.
Nah, it's more fun if they prosecute while stoned. "Your honor, I request a brief munchie break."

It wasn't a 'grow op'. It was twenty plants. Hell, a buddy of mine had fifteen plants, and his just got confiscated, and he got a month in jail and some community service because he didn't "sell" it, he just gave it to his buddies. In my town, my old roomate had a pot plant in his living room. His reason? "If I leave it outside, the cops take it." Twenty plants in northern Alberta is still pretty much a personal stash. This isn't a matter of a guy being afraid of going to jail and shooting cops, this is a matter of a guy who LIKED to shoot people, shooting cops.
Well, sadly, yes, you got two cows from us. We've gotten six from you. Of course, when we raise hell, what happens? The Elephant to the south doesn't notice, or care.
As for the by-products control, the thing was, seven years ago Canada banned using animal by-products as animal feed. The cows that the States got were seven years old, and had been raised for the first few months of their life on the LAST few months of animal by-product feed process. These were the LAST possible cows who could have gotten Mad Cow from the feed, and they did, and we gave them to you guys. One in a million shot, doctor... one in a million.

Sorry, I missed that. I forgot why they had been called out there. The guy investigating about the vehicle had been told by the psycho that "if he came back with cops, he'd kill them." The guy came back with cops. He killed them. He was an honest psycho.
No kidding. Next time we get some American beef with mad cow in it, we're SO invading.

"They were gunned down in cold blood while investigating a grow op..."
Yeah, a grow op of 20 plants on the property of a man with nearly a dozen charges of assault, uttering threats, threatening a police officer, firing a gun within city limits, driving infractions, and who was known to be less than stable. He'd sworn, on several occaisions, to kill people who angered him. The guy was a nut job, and in spite of all this, he had no problems buying all the guns he wanted from the government. Blaming this on weed is like blaming World War II on the German sausages causing indigestion.

I dunno.... I could ask for Jennifer Tilly seducing a woman.... that might have made that movie better.
Well, yeah, it's Slashdot.
I guess the first people to post get modded down no matter what they say.
Seriously, some good answers there, but I still reserve judgement for the screening!

Just out of curiosity... how is this insightful, and the parent is off-topic flamebait?
