But you are right I think.
I wonder if anyone has done an analysis of the password crackers available and see which actual character flows there are (do any use random testing making "999999" just as statistically quick to crack as "aaaaaa"
If this guy was sentenced to so many hours community service work in the film industry, he would not only know who he was effecting but also make a direct contribution back to it. Hell, he might even find himself a real job afterwards.
Here in the UK, our prisons are at maximum capacity - we are locking away too many people (some understandably need to be kept away), and I think some common sense needs to be applied.
Magnets and track is just one of the methods used in your vending machine mech. WHen I was a young lad I worked in a large coin mech place and would routinely get trays of domestic and foreign currency (both real and fakes) to test. A normal mech will have additional sections to test the coin - the track itself has a maximum size, coins too large will not fit, coins too thin fall through, some are filtered by magnetic elements as you suggest, others by electronically listening to the sound a coin makes after hitting a piezo element at the end of the run.
It was ingenious how accurate they were even back then..
One question, what magical technology have we got that can transmit and receive these qubits? (if possible please refrain from using the word laser or photodiode)
I read on their site a wonderful description (here if you are interested):
The interaction between ions and single photons is quite weak; therefore it has to be enhanced by placing the trapped ions inside an optical resonator (i.e. between two very good, suitably arranged mirrors). This leads to a strong coupling between the light field in the resonator and the ions. Shining appropriate laser pulses on the ion in question, its state can then be mapped to the state of the resonator field (see, e.g. [6]. Similarly the state of the resonator field can be mapped on the state of an ion. To complete the interface, the resonator field must be coupled to a traveling light field, e.g. in an optical fiber. For the output, one can just wait for the photons in the resonator to leak out into the transmission line. For the input, more care is needed to circumvent the reflection of most incoming photons at the mirrors, but carefully designed laser pulses may "open up" the resonator to incoming photons. These proposals are quite close to what can currently be done in the lab, and their realization should be achieved in the coming years.
In other words, shining a laser through a filter at both ends. If the length of the cable increases or is flexed sufficiently the frequency sync won't match and oh look your machine will tell you it has been modified.
Your analysis corresponds with what I said right at the start, snake oil.
The principle of sending a single photon down the tube and ensuring nobody can measure it without effect is well understood, however there is no method currently to send a single photon down the 120km tubes.
These magic black boxes have to rely on other information to know whats happening (Signal strength, signal variation, timing etc).
Security by obscurity is no substitute.
If it really was a magic box, the whole 120km could be out in the open public streets and the boxes would know whether the signal was intercepted or monitored.
The only way to see if this works is to break the fibre connection and see if it notices. Oh lookie, the amazing thing is - a normal fucking fibre circuit will notice as well.
There is no quantum tech yet.
This is just going to increase our month subscriptions without giving any benefits, we will still use encryption on every required connection and will still have open holes alopng the way (last mile), so who exactly does it benefit?
I suggest any carrier should pay them with money stored in a quantum envelope. You are certain it contained $100,000 before you sealed it up, if its not there now it must have been intefered with.
Actually, all that content generated by the users will increase page rank for wikia. A springboard for other things is nice. The accounts users can create are not much more than slashdot accounts and Journals.
Disconnections on the network break lots of things. You are right that they *should* really handle the events, but there are lots which don't and that is the problem. Its no use telling everyone everything will be ok when it just brings about more support headaches.
I am always uneasy when business customers ask about sleep, heres a few of the things which bug me
What happens with network applications (take google earth as an example - it connects and logs in at program start)? How about a domain? What happens if you go to sleep on one domain and wake up plugged into another? What happens when you wake up outside the login hours? What happens if your server slot is taken for an application (because you disconnected and someone else took it)? What happens if you are editing a networked (word etc) document at the time, can people edit it whilst you are asleep? Will your application pick up where it left off or display the edited document?
Its things like this which prevent us from recommending sleep or hibernate to our clients.
If the hibernate just allows the core OS to be brought up without problems then that doesn't help people who use their computers too much.
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better...stronger...faster. and errrrrrrrr over budget.

Yes, the punishment should fit the crime.

I, for one, would miss these jokes if they vanished.
It might be crap and corny but its part of the greeting to an article.
No, cheerleading implies cheerleaders.
IBM should invest in cheerleading.
K'Breel, Speaker for the Council must give his judgement upon this matter.

It is literally a smoke and mirrors problem.
Didn't we start with Adam and Eve?
Functionally extinct means there is only 1 gender left.
Puts a whole new meaning to "if we were the last 2 humans on earth..." if infact its too late by then.

Our streets are lined with fibre and I have had fibre into my home for years.
More info here:
# We provide the latest services through our state-of-the-art fibre optic cable network. You don't need a dish and installation is easy.
You turn on your tv to watch your favorite show only to discover that channel surfing collapsed the wave and moved it to a different day.
Damn fibre!
In reality, we have had fibre for years here in england (NTL) and its nice and stable (apart from when its not).
Thats my point.

No, no, no you have it all wrong, lets imagine a real future:

Its nightmare inducing
Doesn't sound like the expected behaviour.
Have the breaks on your car wait until you release the pedal for a graphic example.

So *thats* where the developers from Real defected to.

I hate not being able to use my mobile phone in the car or listen to the broadcast radio whilst moving.
Until having a car with *no* chip is illegal lal the criminals have to do is say its imported/on tour.
