I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but a true one time pad is 100% unbreakable. There is no attack that can get even one bit of the message.
I don't understand your "Plug in "World Trade Center" step. Even if you match the part of the text that says "Word Trade Center" all you'll be doing is
P XOR P XOR C where P is the message and C is ciphertext. all you'll end up with is a bunch of garbage, and a small section of the key.
This doesn't reveal anything. I think you have the OTP confused with a Vignere cipher (can't check spelling ATM)
Aright, so the one-time-pad is totally unbreakable, as long as the key is random, and no one decrypts it. The weakness lies in, if you use the same pad two times, you can XOR the two encrypted messages together, and get message A XOR message B. This is a critical weakness of the OTP.
If I had to guess, this guy came up with something like, "Each time you use the OTP, start at the next bit" so that it's like having a bunch of OTP keys, but in one place. I'm guessing whatever scheme he came up with either has already been invented, or is also critically flawed.
You hold a typical cynical teenager view of the world of medicine, here.
First, what's the difference between treating and curing a disease? Last time I checked the only way to "Treat" a virus is to kill it or disable it. Infections? Try antibiotics (they ALL cure infections). Bacteria? Again, can't treat without curing.
I'll cut you with my razor now, it's so simple anyone can see it:
All the companies are looking for cures, because if they're the first with a cure for a disease they'll make *billions* of dollars. There are always moer diseases coming.
You don't have to prosecute EVERY spammer to stop, or even slow, spam. Right now a lot of legitimate (as in, not illegal) businesses buy and sell e-mail addresses and send Spam. I would bet that a high majority (over 90%) comes from the same small group of companies.
So if one of the say, 10 companies gets sued for $2,000,000 and put out of business, don't you think that the other 9 will start looknig elsewhere?
And even if my 90% weren't true, and ALL spam is from random people, prosecuting one will still put the "fear of God" in them and many will think twice before sending any spam.
I'm a big proponent of making Spam illegal, and prosecuting spammers. I believe that it will cut down Spam significantly.
I can't believe that this was moderated Insightful. It should have been moderated -1, cowardly and -1, ignorant.
Aside from the obvious fact that most people can't just "get upand leave" without totally destroying their lives (the government might as well have put them to death!) by leaving, you're only allowing other people to be taken advantage of. It's the coward's way out: Run.
I suggest staying, and fighting for your rights.
7 months? I'll look into that, but if I rememebr correctly, safedisc got cracked within a few weeks of the first one that got released. I might be wrong though (It might have been a few weeks after the first popular game was released with it).
But, I think the previous poster had the best point, think of all the icnreased sales of the expansion pack due to alleged piracy of the original.
Personally, I think piracy is just another economic factor. It brings down software prices, and yes, it might hurt some companies. But it also helps some companies.
If you're saying that the "extra" 50% were pirated, and Safedisc somehow stopped piracy of the expansion pack, you're misleading people.
SafeDisc is a joke, and is easily circumvented. I'd like to know ehre you get your numbers from, if someone pirated the original game, they easily pirated the expansion. Unless you're talking about casual copiers/game traders, in which case the numbers are meaningless: no one cares about people who do that. The "real" pirates are the ones who profit off the sale of ilelgal copies that pass as real. DoD wasn't doing that.
The article gives the cost of one of these (material costs) at about $80. So, retail would they go for about $150?
Looking at the back, they only really have one set of AV/ out cables. Kind of disappointing, it would have been nice to make this device more like a receiver.
You're right and wrong... 24-bit color is actually insufficient for all the colors we can see, when you throw in transculence, shading, shadows etc. But we can definitely use over 200PPI to improve image quality.
You're showing a distinct ignorance of genetics.
First of all, we share roughly 97% of our DNS with chimpanzees. Our immune systems are strikingly alike, and we share many characteristics.
So, if there were a disease 2 million years ago that removed all but one mutation of this gene in chimps, they could, today, still be resistant. Humans can also have this gene and not be "evolved from chimps" just like we share 97% of our DNA. We just haven't had a catastrophic disease like HIC deicmate our population and concentrate this gene.
Perl as a "scripting" or a "programming" language

I've been using perl for a very long time, but primarily as a scripting language. I indeed mostly use it for extraction and reporting. With the recent developments in perl, however, there seems to be the trend that perl is able to do much, much more (while retaining compatibility to be "just" a scripting language).
What do you think about how people are using Perl today? Are you satisfied that most people use it for simple tasks like log parsing? Would you like to see more advanced applications being built with Perl verses a compiled language?
At different points in the United States, the majority also thought that Women shouldn't be able to vote. Not too long later, a majority of the US thought that segregation was legal, and that discrimination was fine. However, the governemnt stepped in and determined that, in these cases (and many, many more) the majority of the US was wrong. We live in a democracy, but we are not ruled by a mob.
In other words, we listen to the majority but protect the individual from that same majority. We have copyright laws for a good reason, and they should be protected.
Quick FYI, studies (and lots of practical experience) point that TCO of Linux is significantly lower than Windows, especially in this situation where man-hours cost very little compared to software and hardware costs.
It's easy to spot a trolling post, especially when they have a whole tirade explaining why a group wouldn't want Windows machines, and then suggests that they aren't moving to Linux for a good reason:)
A non-trolling post would have actually tried to answer the question of the post, what's a good environment, not posed an off-topic, inflammatory comment.
They need a few things, IMHO. The frist is a hotkey to enable/disable popus (which they may have, I haven't looked very deeply). The second is a mozilla-like "kill all popups I don't request" option. They kill *all* popups, which interferes with my webmail programs, surveys, etc.
One note though, a lot of people see nothing wrong with someone "stealing" a porn website, because they think porn is wrong, and stealing is wrong. But pornography is legal, stealing is illegal. I'm sure that this is one huge reason this case hasn't been settled yet.
That's what XLock is for:) If you have to leave it somewhere, just lock the screen; they'd have to reboot it to get access, etc.
So that only really leaves someone running up and grabbing your laptop while it's running and you're using it. While this could happen, it doesn't seem a major security concern to me.
We primarily use C3600s for CAD stuff, but are migrating away now that Wintel hardware (especially video cards and RAM) have come so close to that of the PA/RISC in performance and are so much cheaper.
However, our engineers much prefer the Unix workstations, and so do the sysadmins. Our Unix machines require minimal support and have almost no problems compared to the Windows boxes. We haven't tried Linux yet, but there is a verson of Pro/E for Linux coming out, soon...
His statement is entirely true; as altitude increases, the air does indeed grow thinner, and the speed of sound indeed decreases. And the sped of sound is definitely linked to density, which is why it travels so much faster in water than in air (even at the same temperature).
Two years ago the HP C3600 workstation, single-CPU 1gig RAM dual 9gig SCSI hard drives went for just over $20,000. Add in hardware and software maintenance, then any upgrades/software (like HP Ansi C compiler) and $22,000 is not a lot of money.
These machines have been HPs Workstation line for a while, it looks like they were with HP, so yes, they're asving $19,000/desktop.
Hehehehe.. pretty funny:) I'm a big fan of parody!
But you know, not a lot of children in the middle east are exactly being "raised on a nonstop diet... including Hollywood movies and American video games." If they were causing the wars in the middle east, wouldn't we see some of that violence from American children?

To just have an encrypted filesystem, and make the user type the password when it boots? Less points of failure, less expensive, and less trouble.
