    possible to create a perfectly secure system, since we are not bound by the same constraints as safesmiths, such as materials expenses and limited material strength.
    Although we are not bound by those, we do accept user input, therefore with time, computer systems will be cracked.
    Dictionary/password attacks, how many possible combinations are out there? 8-digit passcode: 40^8 combinations. While this may take a while with a single computer, use a cluster of 'zombie computers' and it won't take nearly as long.

    When I read the summary, I still thought that 2005 was still a long ways away,
    Hope this linux client comes within the first few days of 2005

    Everything being pulled outward? Did you take any physics classes at all? Centrifugal force does not exist, it is a concept to describe the walls exerting a force on you. Centripetal force however, is the net force acting towards the center of a circle. There is no force that pulls outward when you are accelerating around a circle.

    If you don't like the views expressed on this site, there is an extremely simple solution. Leave.

  25. Re:"Dark matter" != "Dark energy" on Chandra Provides Support For Dark Energy · · Score: 0

    m =mo/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), [mass = the mass from a frame of reference where v=0 divided by root of 1 - velocity squared divided by c squared) I am no physicist, ( taking grade 11 physics right now, doing a unit on relativity), but from what I understand, as v aproaches c, m (mass) becomes very large, but when the initial mass (mo) is 0, m = 0/x. Also, if v=c (for photons) sqrt(1-1) =... sqrt(0), so... m=mo/0.
    Also, if photons had mass, since the kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2 if the velocity was c, m (using the previous equation) would be infinit, and thus the energy required to achieve v=c would be infinit.
