Because people don't want their cars looking over their shoulder. Everyone speeds, and most people are sane drivers and can do it reasonably. Thats a good thing for police, it lets them pretty much cherry pick the psycho's off the road and not bother the rest of us (at least that's how it should work). A computer can tell you how fast you were going or how sharply you turned, but it can't tell you whether someone is sane or not.
What about an idea that is in a related field but still is had and developed on the employee's own time without using any of the companies proprietary information or ideas?
Shuttle flights were routine, and safe (I think going into space is an event in of itself, so I wouldn't describe them as uneventful). How many shuttle launches have there been? And how many fatal accidents? It's a pretty good track record. Just because an accident gets more publicity does not mean it counts higher.
That's kinda his point. He's not going to go there because he doesn't like those terms. Neither am I. Neither are a ton of other people. That's a crutch for them if they're trying to overtake google.
This is a serious issue though. What if someone is asleep or knocked unconsious? They could easly be mistaken for dead and the normal medical procedures in that situation could be life threatening to someone with an implant.
The state that's being used has to be told to the recieving party. He's free to eavesdrop on that transmission. Or simply observe only a few of the particles. Quantum states are probabilistic. Depending on the amount being transfered I'd think it would be quite feasable for you to interfere in a small portion on the qubit's, enough to have a greater then 50% chance of knowing the correct state, but not enough to signifigantly affect the final probabilities used to catch eavesdropping.
.. is looking good. After the neon light infected monstrocities that were the last two batman movies, it's good to see the idea of it all back on track.
If you can't create a quantum state then how is data even encrypted? For that to be possible there MUST be some process that creates the desired quantum state.
Not realy you can probably use an RSA encription methiod with a non fixed key lenght by testing the speed of your CPU and find a key you can generate in 1min and your set from now till QM comes around.
Untill of course someone finds a better way to factor numbers, or finds a diffrent attack on RSA.
I don't think that's entirely true though. You have to be able to observe the state to recieve information and you have to be able to transmit the state to send information. Someone can observe the state in the middle and then quickly retransmit a copy. The original signal is corrupted just as QM predicts but the copy is in it's place.
I have an incredibly hard time believing any claims of encryption being unbreakable solely
If something has the potential to disturb the supply and demand so drastically as to have an adverse effect I assume whatever company was mining it would just introduce it gradually.
The way people sell crewed spaceflight is also intellectually dishonest. For instance, you'll hear people say that the silicon chip would never have been invented without the space program. Well, I'll believe that statement when someone brings me back documentary evidence from an alternate universe where the cold war never happened, and there was no space race.
So we're not going to fund research because the results will come around eventually? That's fairly nonsensical. You have to fund the research in one form or another before anything gets invented.
The patriot act was a collection of general powers, not a collection of only-in-terrorism-cases powers.
And there in you see the problem. The entire point of everyone bitching about the patriot act was because they didn't think the gov't should have these powers for use in every day investigations. But the gov't just said hey don't worry, well never use this against normal criminals, we just need this for terrorists. Low and behold.... they lied.

News reports gathered from wire services are often rewritten, and as such just as subject to bias as any other story.
If the Ford dealership claimed to see all makes and models, and the chevrolet was better. Yes.
That would be a really risky thing for MS to do after the whole IE/WMP thing.

All /.ers long to never have to work on our computers. But not having to doesn't mean we won't. :D

Why would the choice of DNA matter?

All realistic encryption scemes have a lifespan.
"the nutjobs who almost-universally are one or more of the following:
* Islamic fundamentalists * from an Arab country * of Arab ethnicity"
Mine is more-specific than yours...
More specific, yes. More accurate, no.
No, he censors the stuff he posts up.
Because Brazil is a country, would it be so much of a stretch for you to assume that when he says America he's talking about the country??
Note the almost in his post....

Why go through the courts if you already know their answer right?
