The ASF has not lost its way. It has been overtaken by recent developments, mostly the massive flocking of projects and developers to github, and does not have an answer to that. Either the ASF reinvents itself, or it slithers gently into oblivion within a few years.
The R & D institute I work for is getting into CDM ( Crisis and Disaster Management ). One of the first conclusions we drew, when thinking about crowdtasking, was that without harnessing people's "drive to play", it is not gonna work. So these people draw the same conclusion, independently, which corroborates ours.
Hell. You uncovered my best-kept secret. I am eternally fucked in the tech world. Over. Out. From next week on, I'll be raising goats in Transylvania. Or should I apply for that exarch position of the Podocarpathian Uniates ?
you look like a nork. That is 1/4 nerd and 3/4 dork. I'd rather work in marketing for the rest of my life than be seen here on the streets with such a thing.
IBM bungled a massive project for the re-automation of the AKH, Vienna's main hospital. Got banned. It seems, however, that IBM does not care: such "missers" are like flies to such an elephant - yet.
I have been reading his papers for some time now, and the guy is definitely making progress. Recent work, however, in the field of multilinear maps seems to point into a new direction: multiparty Diffie-Hellman agreement. That would be a lot harder to break. Basically, in such a scheme, when wanting or needing to establish a classical Diffie-Hellman agreement, you'd invite a trusted third party in. Eventually, that scheme may get broken, too; yet, it may grant implementors and users another 10-to-20-year truce. As for TFA on technologyreview.com, it sounds a bit like fear-mongering, to my taste.
so that what you do on the internet remains between you and the professionals at the NSA
That is a disheartening line, to say the least. It implies that I, a citizen ( not of the USA, but that does not matter anything at all in the current security craze context ) should take the NSA's simply for granted.
When hiking through Europe ( I once walked from Amsterdam to Rome ), it was the same for me: as long as I slept outside, in a tent, I would wake up with sunrise and get sleepy shortly after sunset. As soon as I would begin sleeping in hotels, monasteries etc. etc., I would turn into a night-owl again...
I do see major difference. The patent you cite is based upon DES, the authors' work is not, as they develop their own encoding technique, on the basis of multilinear maps. Moreover, in the patent you cite it is assumed that one function can have n outputs, whereas in the authors' work, each function has only 1 output. I am still going over both the original peer-reviewed paper and the US patent you cite. The latter seems too amateuristic to be taken seriously by any corporation willing to implement an obfuscator, whereas the authors of this paper are researchers renowned in their field.
True. But there are already printers in a demonstrator stadium that make pretty good attempts at printing ceramics, or a mixture of metal particles and glue.
It seems to me that the MIT Technology Review already had an article "What if...?", recently, in which the author hypothetically places himself in the future and looks back upon the fictional history of something that is, in our days, still nascent. Didn't that article mention an enormous increase in amounts of plastic garbage having to be processed by municipalities ?
This reply is typical of a growing percentage of replies on/. : abuse & insults, under the cloak of Cowardness and Anonymity. Well done, I am impressed by how you immediately detected my grammatical error.
I regret to inform you, though, that the correct word for what you speculate me to be is dumbfuck
I just scanned the original paper, reserving its detailed lecture for another moment. But it is one of those things that make me think: "Damn ! Wish I had thought of this myself..."
TSA is the main reason I have been refusing to fly to and within the US for years now. Colleagues, friends and acquaintances reporting the same. The security craze is costing the US money.
Disposing of your human capital is not the way to gain market share. The way is: develop standards, innovate. Alcatel Lucent will go down if and when they persist on this heading.

Apart from the free publicity for Bloomberg ( which, at at a $ 80000 ticket, comes in really cheap ), where is BB's hidden agenda ??

TFA being hosted on slashdot.org en being unreachable, we are led to the conclusion that /. /.-ed itself. Hooray !

A guy named Czar posted a thinly veiled threat as a comment upon Krebs' blog post:
"and easy to speak of the lives of others [hackers, carders, botmasters]
you [Krebs] invade the forum these guys and find that they do not go doing anything?, it would be foolish on your part
be realistic, you are at risk talking shit about these guys
this minimum and that they can make in relation to you,
Now, imagine if it was a bomb?, what do you think? [Krebs]
would be surprising if some hacker will not do this someday
good luck with your work, the risks are increasing lol;"
Now one wonders how THAT is going to be played out....
Well said.

Nice civil servants. Nice cops. Courtesy. Attitude.

this is utterly unimportant, or so it seems....
