could you please tell me where the right to privacy exists?
Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

I have no problem with them keeping an eye on cuba or terrorist training camps. I have a problem with them spying on people chillin in london or paris, and that's what they're doing.
It said, for the time being, products of this research could only be used overseas or against non-U.S. citizens in this country, not against Americans on U.S. soil.
I don't think treating americans diffrently based on where they are in the world is a good precident to set....
Thats incorrect. The idea isn't to protect a smaller message, the idea is to only have to protect a message once. The weakest link in any cryptography protocol is the key, reguardless of how big it is. This needs to be transfered to the other party with 100% certainty that it hasn't been observed. This generally means its delivered by hand and under heavy protection. All cryptography algorithms are breakable, the point of the algorithm is make the time needed to break the message invalidate the messages content. Sucessful encryption doesn't mean the message will never be read, it means it won't be read in time. For instance if your ordering a bombing raid to take place in 24 hours and your encryption takes 36 hours to break then even though it only took them a day and a half to break it, your encryption was successful. As the size of the key rises the time taken to break it also rises, exponentially. Larger keys are allways preferred. 256 bits is enough to make brute force attacks infeasable, but most attacks on cyptography systems are much more refined then brute force. In 1995 acceptable key lengths for public key encryption systems were 768 for an induvidual, 1280 for a corporation, and 1536 for the government.
During the cold war some soviet spy's would use an encryption scheme where a single bit of the key would decrypt a single bit of the message, after decryption the bits of the key that were used to decrypt were thrown away. The key had to be huge and it could only be used for a certain number of messages. That type of encryption is called a one time pad, it's nearly impossible to break. The common encryption schemes today like RSA or DES go for reusable keys but you still need to switch your key's every so often.
Generally the idea is to make the key as large as possible. There will always be a cap in how large one can go. Limitations in computing power can make the time needed to decrypt a message with a large key unacceptable. Maybe the key needs to fit onto some ealy concealable physical medium, or maybe it needs to be remembered. The idea is to acertain your upper limit and use keys that are that length. Keep in mind that 256,000 bytes is only 250 MB, without compression I can fit 3 of those on a CD.
Very true, I went to a tech school. Mine was for recording arts though, not computer networking or anything. But the same problems still applied. School was more interested in getting people through then actually teaching them something. I personally learned alot going there, but I applied myself. There were just as many, if not more, that went through and didn't learn a damn thing, and those people have the same degree I do, and they're all gonna be fucked. I've never once shown anyone my resume. I get jobs because when people talk to me about recording they can tell I know my shit, not because I have an associate degree.

Electric shavers have been around long enough that if they caused and serios damage (besides pulling the hair out of my face instead of cutting it) we would have heard about it by now.
Who knew that scientific fact had anything to do with leadership.... oh wait.... it doesn't! What decision the government ultimately reaches is not under consideration here. Whats being discussed is the fact that the people making the decisions aren't being supplied with the information they need to be supplied with.
Someone in bush camp doesn't want x to happen even though there is scientific evidence that it would be helpful. There are several valid reasons for taking that stance, maybe its cost prohibitive. But instead of arguing that, they choose to take steps against that evidence even being included in the discussion.
The paper, as I understand it, made a point not to comment on the decisions made. They didn't talk about leading anyone, or spooks, or calculated risk, and they certainly didn't make themselves out to be kings.
but I'd guess that Blizzard will probably ban someone that they feel is cheating at games
Haha, they wouldn't have any customers left! U used to play starcraft on b.net, I don't really anymore cause the simple fact is everyone and their mother has a maphack and unless you playing a nitwit thats an advantage you just can't surmount, so you too become one of the millions that cheat, and eventually its just not fun anymore. I think a diffrent server would be great, maybe they could find some way to rewrite the protocols to make maphacks and such harder to do, cause blizzard, try as they might, did a shit job on that front.
Part of this is the media, who seem to think that success in a given field means that somehow that equates into expertise in everything else - otherwise why would people even LISTEN to the political pronouncements of hollywood stars?
But success in the scientific field certainly gives someone the right to comment on misapropriation of scientific fact.
It's also worth noting that an actor was elected president. Obviosly they are just as capable of forming a political opinion. Knowone here believe that scientists aren't without political leanings. But the scientific field as a whole is based in objectivity, whereas the political field is incapable of it.
According to the RIAA, which filed its latest round of lawsuits against 531 as-yet-anonymous individuals on Tuesday, it has settled with 381 people, including some who had not yet actually had suits filed against them yet.
Thats not entirely true. My old roommate had his DVD player stolen and then pawned off. He had the serial number written down and the police found his DVD player at a pawn shop. I went with him to the pawn shop and the detective that met us their basically said its up to the pawn guy, if he wanted to make my roommate pay to get it back it was within his rights. Luckily for my roommate the pawn guy was nice and decided just to give it back, but he wasn't required by law to do so.
As anybody who uses Pro Tools will tell you, it is the end all be all when it comes to the audio spectrum.
Not quite. Anyone truly involved with the audio industry can tell you that while Pro Tools is amazing and many arguments can be made that it's the best DAW out there, it is far from being the end all be all. Pro Tools has one or two major flaws. Programs like Logic are arguably just as good or better and programs like Nuendo are catching up quickly. I love Pro Tools. I own it and I work in more then one studio that uses it, I believe it's the best, but its far from perfect.
Shouldn't Open Source just be considered competition? After all, it's just code. The automakers in Detroit seem to be doing fairly well, even with cheap foreign competition.
Cheap, but not free, and their are tariff's to ease that. There's also some amount of social pressure to buy US made products when it comes to cars and such because you'll be supporting american workers, open source, being free and all, isn't tied to that.
Let me be clear though, I'm not saying ms needs to be protected here. What I'm saying is that socially open source represents a signifigantly diffrent ideology then someone undercutting your prices. You can't treat one as simply an extreem of the other. Ms needs to realize that if people choose to freely distribute their work then they have no right to bitch that it's cutting into their profits. It IS cutting into their profits, but they're just gonna need to deal with it. Its rather sickening that such an obviosly beneficial choice is being ignored.
It's not the every day chatter that annoys people. A large majority of the people with cell phones know how to use them respectfully. But some people don't. Don't answer your phone in a movie, and if you really need to at least step outside or towards the back. Don't think that when the pickup is less then an inch from your mouth you have to project your voice 50 feet away in a quiet room. Don't think you can hold up lines, lanes of traffic, or elevators just because your not through with your conversation when your time has come. Cell phones aren't inherently rude, but the way some people choose to use them certainly is.
They REALLY REALLY need to do a series about Faith...
How about she gets a job at a city morgue and can go back 24 hours to save peoples lives?..... oh wait...

Yes it is a political statement. I think what everyones discussing is, is it a politically motivated statement?
