Kid, I've flown from one side of the galaxy to the other and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe that there's one all-powerful form that controls everything.
Totally agree, however in the crypto community (which I cannot claim to be part of) the consensus is generally that if a weakness if found in an algorithm then it begs the question - "what other weaknesses are there".
At least the information in R2 is still intact. I only hope that when the data's analyzed, a weakness can be found. It's not over yet.
That's not the impression I got. It seems more like the monkey was moving the tool as if it were it's own limb, i.e. the moneky tried to move its hand and the tool moved instead.
That must suck. You try to move your hand and your tool moves instead. Of course, that could be fun.
Popular Science has a cover feature on self-made billionaire and space enthusiast Robert Bigelow (who's been mentioned before on Slashdot). The article has new info on Bigelow's plans to launch a 'CSS Skywalker' orbital resort by 2010 and sell space habitats to others, such as scientists, manufacturers, Hollywood producers, and countries.
I'm glad Bigelow finally wised up and ditched the name 'CSS Starkiller.'

And my guess is, that's exactly what will happen. The company made a mistake by producing flawed software. The researcher didn't make that mistake, only pointed it out. With these flaw(s) pointed out, the company didn't handle it in a grown-up manner. Instead of fixing the mistake, focusses on attacking the messenger. Dumb: mistake #2, again made by the company. And only makes the problem worse.

Most notably, for the last 10 years, Leonard Kleinrock, a computer scientist at the University of California [...]
You're thinking of the Flintstones episode. His actual name was Leonard Kleinberg.
God, I fucking hate working for Bill Gates!
...but there will be no refit.
Commodus the Scientist...
Commodus: Why is Hubble still alive?Lucilla: I don't know.
Commodus: It shouldn't be alive. It vexes me. I am terribly vexed.
