Well HERE'S an IP question - remember the thread on the guy who wanted to archive EULAs to track restrictive terms and someone said the next restrictive term would be 'no archiving' ?
Well, wouldn't that be making it a secret contract, which I am pretty sure is illegal...?
The way to generate random bits is to sample a good physical source, see above, check the bits in pairs and abandon identical pairs, use the first bit of different pairs, gather a power of 2 of these bits, say 512, and XOR them all together.
That gives you one INCREDIBLY random bit, where the probability of a 1 is.5 + some small epsilon ( less than.5) that is taken to the power of 512 minus one.
Whatever, it'll do, I think.
Repeat as necessary.
it's why AES was chosen in the first place.
The NSA checked the competing cyphers and picked one that was looked good to the crowd yet was hard but not impossible to break. Did you really think they would have picked one they couldn't handle?
That's why TwoFish didn't get the gig.
This is a maligned language. I think it will prove important in the future, if only beacuse it helps people make their complexity quota, which some people seem to have.
Isn't that the time where the dongle turned out to do some subtle part of the floating point arithmetic and when hacked out of the program caused every user's mesh to collapse slowly and irretrievably?
Some hack.....
Wow does that take me back - MIR publishers...
Imagine, if you would, a firm with 50 Martin Gardners and 50 Isaac Asimovs writing for it. Now imagine no one in the west had ever heard of it.... That's MIR.
I'd buy their books every year at the CNE until the SU went belly up.
These books are a treasure. Grab everyone you can. I do.
Yes they are, actually. If they can get legislation tabled to commit vandelism to stop a 'crime' they are GETTING COMPENSATED FOR BY EVERYBODY WHO BUYS A BLANK CASSETTE OR CD ROM then they can show up at your ISP with a warrent or have their lawyer threaten the ISP lawyer who will tell the ISP to let them in....
The ISPs will cave. This is the very sort of thuggery the RIAA is good at.

Slashdotted already!

It'll never last. They'll cave under legal pressure right away.
