  1. Re:Yeah right... on Passive E-Mail Monitoring Leads To Arrest · · Score: 1
    Well... one time pads aren't a very efficient encryption technique.
    Very efficient acctually. If you have someone you know you will need to communicate often with in the future, you can generate a full 100 CD spindle worth of random data and give your partner a copy. Now you can exchange around 70GB of data, no matter how insecure the link. If you destroy each CD after usage only up to 700MB of data can be decrypted, if one of the spindles falls into the wrong hands.

    Which MS is NOT. Repeating it over and over again will not change the fact. Yes people are used to it, but it's still painful.

    That doesn't stop the Kremlin from claiming Ukraines (and others) as part of the "Russian speaking minority" of Latvia, thwe rights of which are somehow "violated" by having ~1/2 of their highschool lessons in Latvian.

  14. Re:Hey morons - read the words that are printed.. on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1

    Took me less than five to be able to read while singing*. About five to be able to type while singing*, doing it -- slow, spelling sucks even more than usualy. I'm sure not how long it would take to be able to learn to think without the typing, but it seems possible. * - If you can call tan-tan-tan-tanda-tan singing, but it should keep the concerned nerves busy. It also gets tedious, I'm glad I can stop now.

    Have you never had ideas you couldn't express in words?

  16. Re:Could be dangerous on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1
    working with words is as much of a "translation" situation for us as a foreign language might be for you.
    Do you also have to translate when reading? I have a hard time grasping this analogy because I never translate unless I have to do it for someone else, which I find difficult. When I read/listen to any language I understand there is no difference between native/foreign. When writing I think in the language I write.
