  1. Re:Encryption doesn't really solve this on Camera Makers Resist Encryption, Despite Warnings From Photographers (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Replace "encryption" with "automatic cloud upload" and you would not only have a selling point, but in places that have connectivity, you could produce an SLR that has only enough memory for 30 or so pictures- and that only temporary storage before they're uploaded.

    Agreed. What does solve it, is your camera connected by bluetooth to a satellite phone, which is connected to a cloud server. Once in the cloud the camera and its media can be destroyed (rather expensively, but that's part of the cost of doing business) and the pictures can be published all over the world.

    The articles I found said nothing about the script, only about the plants. If you have something different, post a link.

  7. If they raise the right kinds of sea vegetables and salt water loving plants, people all over the world will pay at the grocery store for the project, and it will be extremely profitable.

    Intelligence agencies, including the NSA and the TSA, are a part of the nation's defense. Arpanet was created specifically to enable communications between military units. The network *should* be managed to maintain that original purpose, including spying on the users. What part of this is confusing to you?

    Just did that, only one of the six articles that come up even mention the New World, and it's a link back to the article I posted on biologists recognizing some of the drawings and nothing about the language at all.

    Crap in comments is just so much bragging, and is not to be taken seriously.

    Do you know the history of the NSA and the TSA? From their beginnings in WWII? Or do you think they just sprung into being after the start of WWIII?

    I think you were thinking of this: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn24987-mexican-plants-could-break-code-on-gibberish-manuscript/, which is about the drawings in the manuscript, NOT the words. I suggest you ask your doctor about age related dementia.

    Given that languages change over time, it is quite possible that spelling (especially in a language that omits vowels) has also changed over time. And since the encoding method is alphagram (an anagram arranged alphabetically) you need to rearrange the letters to begin with to get something remotely coherent.

    You are aware that what eventually became the NSA and the TSA (along with the armed services, dealing with the research question of how do we keep communication lines open in case of nuclear war), built the damn thing to begin with, right?

    You get the network you pay for.

    In this day and age, if we really want to supercharge our economy, having the United States on one large 5G system served by solar powered lighter-than-air craft at 50,000 feet would make a lot of sense. And when it comes to monopolies, the government is better than private industry anyway.

    I strongly doubt bandwidth will be enough for many operations, and that's where the private carriers can continue to exist, in providing additional for-pay bandwidth for specific uses.
