New problem; due to the history of programming in 32-bits, int is still 32bits large, so even on a 64-bit it will get it wrong. You need to use long, which is the new int for 64-bits.
Yeah! New statistics without backing data... and even a dismantlement of a highly reputed person's statement by a low-end one without any reputability nor arguments, although the said person probably had good backing.
Mod me down if you will, but I stand my point; this is the most substance-less post which tried to make a point out of statistics I've seen. If you have any data, please share with us and with Kofi who might be interested. Like, have you been to africa, china and india lately? and I don't say New Delhi, Hong Kong or Casablanca, but those places where the majority of the world lives... you know that 70%(*) of world population that makes your shoes, phones and diamonds? you don't really think those guys each have a phone in their house, or else you just don't know about the real world... I've been to jamaica and haiti and it was a hell to find a single phone outside my hotel(**), and it was richer than most countries in africa and philippines.
I mostly hate people who haven't seen the world at all, think that everyone but them (or america anyway) are wrong, and who don't even have arguments to back up...
(*) yeah that was made up.
(**) yeah ask that guy in the street, not the business man but about anybody in the places where the majority lives. There are other places than Varadero you know outside of the USA...
Please explain to me how reciting a number to 100,000 digits is smart. Sure lot of memory, and I don't say he's not smart, probably does a good job as a consultant, but this act by itself is by no mean a proof of his intelligence. Now, he must be the only man who can remember (or not) the birthdays of his parents and girlfriends (if he has any)...
Wait a minute... Who are you?!? only 50 comments (25 being in the last month and a half) and a 4-digit number?!? And you just come here and post a "let's not be carried away"..? Uh?!?
WPA-PSK can be cracked in small time too. If you use a RADIUS it's a lot harder (which may be what you're thinking), but with PSK you are just step harder to crack than WEP, not more secure.
I am not saying it was a bad thing, just that when they searched the plane and found the thing, they should have let everybody go. If I tell you "hey! i've lost my ipod in your car", once you've found the ipod, and searched the car for bombs, everything's fine and you let it go. Why didn't they?
But as soon as they knew it was an iPod, why did they continue the interrogation and worse, having a power trip to search for stuff on his computer that was legal and trying to trick him into admitting he did this on purpose is totally over-reaction.
What part of this whole story is actually security measures and what part is just annoyment...?
I've said it before and will say it again; being plain paranoiac just made things worst. There is no security justification over such acts. Even the whole interrogation should have stopped when (or waited until) they found the object and made sure it was harmless (or not).

You don't clean sulfuric ashtrays everyday, do you?
No; it's in the gaim.
Good reference for this and different type sizes and ranges: http://www.unix.org/whitepapers/64bit.html.
More appropriately (sp?) there are matching equivalents for most of the mainstream compiles:

What is this Internet thingie people keep talking about anyway?
Yes, but would you use a 20-incher with an exploding battery?

Maybe the "No Fly Back" list would be better...
Say mommy, will they have many children?!?
Yeah, pi is sooooo last millenium.

SCO? oops, wrong door...
Long time no screwed, eh?
no thanks....
And Condoleezza Rice comes from China? (ok I'm out now)

Yeah I've been virtual dumpster diving my brother's trash can for a while now...
Without violating the same charter? Impossible!

Actually, later they found it, from what I've read...

You know what they say about Russia anyway...
