i thought it was also unbreakable without the start and end encryption you mention, but just filtered through random data which both parties know (a one-time key), but nobody else knows.
this is how the american and russian presidents used to communicate by telephone, they may still do?
if only the 2 copies of the key exist, it is truly unbreakable, as there is no bounds checking on a cracked key, you can recover anything you like. i may be wrong, but i cant see any way to break this kind of system; which is not in regular use since it is inconvenient and requires safe travel of the one-time key to the recipient.
and lets not forget aluminIum... which was also the accepted spelling in the U.S. until 1925, at which time the American Chemical Society officially decided to use the name aluminum thereafter in their publications, for no reason at all... hmm, america are good at that.
that is just plain stupid and will only hurt the users of hotmail! spammers do not actually _use_ hotmail to send the emails... they just use a hotmail address in the return-path and send the mail locally!
at least it will stop those annoying friends everyone has, who have just discovered email and like to send a bazillion forwarded emails along the lines of 'poor botiswane mitiguinai who only has a burlap bag for a body becuase her mummy is so poor, but if you forwards this to 5000 people, bill gates will donate 5c for every email... blah blah'. they usually just contain a wholelotta '> > > >' characters anyway:-/. you all know the type.
Me and a few friends are currently making an 'Opentext' book for highschools, aimed at teaching physics, maths and chemistry to south african schools (where we are based).

no... freeloaders will use pirated copies, like always:-/
places of work will most likely buy expensive specialised products when they become available and the staff cry out for them; not holding back (years maybe?) for the 'free' verison.
having source at a later stage would be a great blessing. i for one, would LOVE to see the source to older versions of maple and matlab GPL'ed. (not to mention the masses of games, which companies have produced and thrown away over the years!)
the security issues are the same as they are with a hard line connection on a local network... regards snooping and so forth. if you want a secure connection, you dont use telnet, and you dont trust unknown keys in ssh/ssl. if you want your actions recorded for all to see, better use telnet:-/
and was it not a nuclear power plant he went to in the comic, and got bitten by a nuked-spider; in the film the class went to a superspider-making factory
which leaves wide-open the possibility of new spidermen since not only did the spider run away... but they also know how to make the same spider again
other than that, i agree... it was pretty true to the cominc, relatively speaking of course (cartoon example: He-Man... uuughh!)
what are you on? this is NO help at all.. you are just retyping the/. links! if you want to help, render the _powerpoint slides_ into pdf and put that on the web somewhere! the paper itself was always in pdf for us all to read.
It actually works very well, and companies DO get into trouble if they violate the policy. It has not hindered tele-marketing at all, except that it has put an end to a lot of silly 'double glazing companies' from misusing the system by making them buy the list (which is quite expensive and must be upgraded frequently).
I am on the list, but most people do not know it exists. I have not recieved any crappy calls since signing on, but still recieve texts as they dont come under the same laws (a recent slashdot story
hints that texts may soon be part of this law, however, which is great!). There is also a snail-mail equivalent. Nice to see the self proclaimed 'free world' catching up with the other side of the pond!
dude... you ARE using an arcane gnu/linux distro; i wouldn't blame anyone for thinking any different. I have never liked the way Redhat sets things up, but in their defense that is a really old version of redhat given how quickly the gnu/open communities move. KDE 2 and 3 both support anti-aliased fonts (via QT2 and 3 respectively), blame redhat! it should look very pretty!
i remember both redhat and mandrake made big cockups around the 7.x releases...
nobody thinks Xfree86 (its not just gnu/linux you know!) is archane becuase it uses anti-aliased fonts... if anything, people would think it arcane if it did NOT support anti-aliasing.
granted this support has come a lot after windows has supported it, and some GUI libraries still need to catch up (nto an issue for gtk+2 or qt3) but for older machines, bitmapped fonts look much prettier than rendered ttf's.
just what is your point?
the main reason people walk by gnu/linux is that they dont know what it is, or if they do, they have so many windows apps they would rather not lose them... or they see it as a geek's OS requiring geeks command line skills (true geeks use FreeBSD by the way). I have never in my life heard of anyone walk by a Linux system and immediately think it's arcane becuase it uses anti-aliased fonts.
That's six orders of magnitude larger than the atomic scale
ok, cool, then this may be a very real observation by the ozzy dude... but, how come orignal users of the device found better results with the V-shape than with a flat top?
I just want to know: will this help or hinder AFM devices?
its got to help, right? i mean, the flaw is a flaw in the sense that they were using an un-optimised detector, now ths guy has just said how a different shape will increase performance. I dont know how much i believe him though... i mean, the guy does design and ship these things around the world (see last paragraph of the article), and if he plays his cards right, he will have every user buying tips from HIM this year:-/ me thinks it might be a $$$ scam. but lets hope not, because developments like this (if true) can only help us all out in the long run.
anyone know what these 'well known mechanical principles' are? i cant see a detialed enough paper on those... if they are 'classical' principles, then this guy is talking out of his arse, as classical mechanics breaks down at this scale. but he is a mathematician, not an engineer, so he will know better (i hope); not knocking engineers or anything... its just you dont get taught quantum mechanics in an engineering profession, but applied mathematicians definitely do.

there is no way to have a system with no tools for software development... you can still use echo cant you (and a little assembly experience)? and nowdays, its not like its impossible to get a similar system which would allow off-site compilations.
you're right though... once a system has been root compromised you're screwed anyway, it really is as simple as that. at least we agree on that.
but the fact is... to install a rootkit on a linux kernel you NEED root to start with. im not sure about windowsNT, but you seem to say the same thing, you need root, either by some crack or by lazyness on the admin's half... either way, i stand by my original statements, a system which has a rootkit has been compromised already, so there is nothing more to fear; the worst has already happenned and nobody even noticed THAT.
to get one in there in the first place you either have to have a stupid admin run arb code or have loaded the (kernel modules? the most common linux example...) rootkit yourself.. as root! its not like this kind of exploit is a kernel security/design bug or anything... its entirely human error/stupidity!
yeah... stupid OS i got here... damn, took me a whole 5 minutes to get a movie playing after some/. ers helped me out... grr! imagien the strain oon my poor brain!
