With quantum computing, it's only public-key cryptography which falls apart. The AES system, which is a block cipher scheme, would still work fine - provided the number of possible keys are squared. Quantum computing has a squareroot effect. So, if it takes some computer time T to break AES, it'll take the quantum computer sqrt(T) time. So all we have to do is increase our key lengths. For example, to get security comparable to 128-bit security today, we'd have to increase the key length from 128-bit to 256-bit.
You know, the last planet of the Apes movie that Charlton Heston made included blowing up the planet at the end. Some interviews said that this was so that it would be THE END of the saga. And then they made another.
You would be right if the new Planet of the Apes was a sequel, but it isn't. It's a remake, another adaptation. So in terms of
"rules", it has nothing to do with the one Heston was in.
Oh, and Heston didn't actually make the movie, did he?:)
I might simply be proving how clueless I am by asking this, but, suppose Lindows ends up being a success. Is MS allowed to sue them? If not, why not? And if yes, then why so?
As someone pointed out, "The library of congress is a library of professional works, not the "my 2 cents" postings that tend to dominate USENET frequently."
Does this mean that some censorship will take place?
What do they mean "all-optical" switch? Does that mean that the light doesn't have to be converted to an electrical signal to be read, and can be read in the state it's in?
Hmm...open source with windows.. Well you could tell your boss that it would be like having a LOT of experienced programmers working for him, but without having to pay them!

Many of the DVD Forum companies are working on new "HDVD" formats that are expected to be unified the same way DVD was and that won't be available until 2002 at the very earliest.
I'm going to college next year, just did my final SAT last Saturday. I would like (wish, rather) to go to MIT or Caltech. Or Stanford. Is there anyone here who's at MIT or Caltech? How's college life there as a computer science student? I keep hearing "MIT is a geek's heaven" and stuff. Is it? Is Yale any good when it comes to computer science or physics?

Oops. I just checked IMDB, and turns out there were several sequels to Planet of the Apes, so disregard my reply to parent.
Me should check facts before posting next time.

I don't mean to sound cheeky, but does "stroy" actually mean anything, or is it just a typo?
Well, that's what I meant. Suing and winning :)

"Group glee doesn't happen alone."
Gosh, how insightful! Never in a million years would I have known that group glee cannot happen when you're alone!
