I'm aware of how long it would take to go through each and every permutation of a 2048-bit RSA encryptyion key - that's not the point, though. I was suggesting, that, whatif, perhaps, they got it, in one of the very first few tries? You don't need to do them ALL. That's just... well... excessive, and useless. Why continue to work the problem if you've already got the solution? Say they got it in the first few tries (Yes, Microsoft WOULD do that? Why? Last thing you'd expect, maybe? You proved that point to us already!).
I mean, they HAD been working for a few days. Perhaps they got the key!:-P
"Yeah. We, um. Well. We're going to stop now. And cite an obvious legal reason, though we ignored that same reason when we first started. Because we wanted the key. But... now we don't. Or something. Look, I don't care, explain it to yourself. Just know that we've stopped, and are happy. Ok? Ok. Good. Now, onto other news..."
Faramir didn't die in The Two Towers! Nor did he die in Fellowship of the Ring! Boramir of Gondor died in Fellowship - Faramir's brother. Captian Faramir led the defensive strike force to Oscalliot after the gangs of men under Sauron's control attacked the cities of men. He was not killed in that battle.
A circle, the field around a point, or in this case, a line down the 0-180 (y) axis. Moving clockwise, everything in the 180-270-0 arc is considered left, while the 0-90-180 arc is right.
Now, your statement says that "[Three lefts do make a right, ]if the lefts are right angles." That would mean that the eventual 'right' has to be 90, as well. I disagree, as that's not a given in the initial equation. Try, on the same axis, that a 'right' can be considered anything in the 0-90-180 arc, and therefore, the three lefts do NOT have to be right angles. However, too little or too much angle would result in non-right angle conclusion, therefore, each left-angle must be greater than 60, but no more than 120.
I rather like KDE and/or Bluecurve. And the interface with OS X is also damned sexy. Bluecurve with RedHat 8.0 is still my favorite, by far, though.:-)
1) Start printing nudie photos of the campus girls in the paper. Offer some sort of tuition discount. Heh heh heh.
2) Use a different suffix?.org,.net... hell, grab a subdomain from your college's.edu domain.
3) Cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it.
Backing down is not a bad thing, espicially when backed into a corner like so. Chances are that you're not getting your old domain back. Tough nuggets. Just get another one, and spend a day changing the urls on your paper's page (if necessary...).
Why won't NASA just revisit a page from the Apollo program, and build two or three command module capsules (with modern enhancements, of course - the concept is sound) and fly them up there? What makes the Russian's Soyuz spacecraft any different than our Apollo CMs?
Where's the logic in removing games which contain supposedly 'violent' behavior? I mean, if their fear is, in the first place, that these games have and will make human beings who interact with them more violent... WHY TAKE AWAY THE ONE THING PRIMARILY PACIFYING THEM!?
"Sir! The gamers! They're coming! They've constructed their own weapons of mass destruction modeled after those in all of these games. I'm starting to think that this was a BAD idea!"
The now angsty gamers will rise and fight back. Afterall, they've been made violent by what they loved, and now that it's gone, they need to bleed off that violence. Heh. Heh. Heh.
That 15 people had it is a litmus test, if it was purely bogus, would 15 people have the same thing?
Yes, in short, they would. Either, A), they downloaded it and went to bed or hadn't had time to check back to look at it, or, B), it's all the same user or group or ring (excuse the pun), and they want you to download from them. Can't entirely think of why, and yes, it's stupid, but so are a lot of people who use KaZaA;). DISCLAIMER: Not inferring that you are stupid.
Wouldn't adding a substantial amount of sugar to plastic bits sortof decrease the specific heat radically? And, well, look at your computer. The case, the monitor, the shell. What's it made of? (not the aluminum/titanium/steel frame) PLASTIC! The monitor's shell is plastic, the bits on the fronts of drive trays are plastic, buttons, are plastic. Albeit, the heat generated wouldn't be enough to melt anything, even with 3% sugar onboard, but still. If this becomes such a good idea, and we opt to use a different type of sugar, which alters the heat even more, and you put it way too close to something that gets really hot... well...
...that these things are basically oversized PDAs? I mean, yeah, they can do more, but..... so what? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to play around and see what it's capable of... but there's a point of diminishing returns. I can't seriously come up with a viable time when I'd like to lug something like this around, risking damaging it all the while.
...here's an example of why you should give it to him.
Gee whillickers. That sucks. I've heard great things about their infrastructure, mostly about HAL and how it went.
I can't read Dutch, or whatever the hell those articles were posted in, but, does anyone know how exactly the fire started? As we speak, I'm getting dressed with one hand and typing this with the other, on my way over to my own Uni's ops room. Just have to make sure my babies are ok.
I know that when I'm at home, my dad can hear my hacking all through the night. He says that I've occasionally woken him up, from down the hall, with the typing. He doesn't hear the soda cans, waterbottle, or sweetbread runs, or the oft curse when something goes "HAHAHA Screw you!" and dies, but that typing. It's maddening.
Then I get yelled at. (*thud*)
Hooray for stealth, yet firm keyboards!
For a while, I had one of those flexi things. Y'know, the rubber ones, with the little like upright foodpad dealies. Worst. Keyboard. Ever. Silent, albeit, but if you pressed the little pad thing that was supposed to resemble a key on a keyboard, the rubber junction just sortof toppled over rather than actually pushing the actuator on the keypad. Freaking annoying.
While I don't use email, myself, anymore, simply because I find it all too encumbering, I find the idea that email itself will die amusing. Yeah, sure. That's like Ford Manufacturing just up and going out of business. What do you suggest? We all begin using carrier pigeons again?
It suddenly makes me wonder, though, has the spam industry really contributed anything overall to the technology at hand? HAve they developed anything open-source and worthwhile that everyone can use, in an attempt to come up with a 'better way to spam'. Further, I wonder how those people are able to sleep at night. I wonder how truly effective spam actually is. At motivating the user to purchase the product, that is, not just pissing them off so badly that they swear away eCommerce all together (as I've seen happen).
I digress - Email isn't going to die. It's just one of those struggles of good versus evil where new tech rises to combat bad tech and the bad tech turns around and does something else. Rinse and repeat.
I knew there was something else I wanted to ask these people. *grumbles*
I've been nagged to try and setup something like this. No, I've not given it much thought. Yes, I am interested in everyones ideas. Cool! Thanks for reminding me of this one. I hope it's fruitful.

If I wanted an XP interface, I'd use XP. Simple.
...while some older machines (P2@45) have a Voodoo 3.
;)
You guys have P2s that run at 45 MHz? And there's a Voodoo 3 chipset for it? Surely, *cough* that processor must be a smidgen faster...

Melty 'puter.
I would argue that much of what was achieved was engineering rather than science.
:o)
I agree, but, simply put, you can not have one without the other, even if it is in the mist minute way.

That keyboard is EVIL. EVIL I TELL YOU. My thoughts about it and such are in the response above.
*glares at MImeKillEr*
*glares at link*
EVIL...
*wanders off, looking totally lost*
That advertised as silent keyboard I was referring to: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fna me=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F003%5F010%5F002%5F0 00&product%5Fid=26%2D494. Yeah, it _WAS_ silent... but you couldn't type with it worth a damn!
I know that when I'm at home, my dad can hear my hacking all through the night. He says that I've occasionally woken him up, from down the hall, with the typing.
