William Reinsch, a former senior U.S. official who participated in reviews under President Clinton, said the Israeli sale involves more dire security issues than the administration's recent approval for a Dubai-owned company to take over significant operations at six major American ports.
"This raises a lot more important issues," said Reinsch, a former Commerce Department undersecretary. "The most important case is where we're making an irrevocable technology transfer to a foreign party. Port operations raise security issues, but the ports are still in the United States."
Umm.. Ok. Enough said. Flamers will always be flamers. Get your flame thrower and stick it up where sun don't shine, sir.
A simple example of uncrackable encryption is the one-time pad cipher. I'm sure there are few or many ways to encrypt at greater probability to the limit of randomness itself. But what is the point of encrypting something that does not carry equal amount of security with integrity of the encrypted data once unecrypted? Is it perfect encryption or is it just reaching the least probable breaking point?
The weakest point are the people who apply the cipher Not true. The weakest point is the method used without taking human as the 'unknown' factor. Matter of fact, humans are more unpredictable than a machine, and by that definition, randomness, similarity conincides with the least probability with pattern. Perhaps, "stupidity" is the word you are looking for, which is prominent "feature" among human species, as I am not a stranger to one; for instance, turn on the "stupid" mode during meetings. And as we all know, stupidity has been always the weakest link.
it's very easy to name a few counterexamples - like death etc. Death can be reversed. We see it happen all the time in ER. You may argue that we cannot revive 100 year old dead corpse from a grave. True. However I may argue, "Just not yet."
as soon as your cipher is no longer a mathematical curiosity but is being passed to flesh and blood human beigns - it's no longer safe no matter what mathematical genius was behind its creation. Do you believe in DNA encryption? The information will be encrypted based on our genome one day, carrying data exceding the current capacity of our hardware counter part and computational power exceding anything we have seen so far. The cipher strength won't be measured by mathmatical scheme, but by natural selection or aka transposons.
Yeah, they used to do that in the old days when there were only like 10 things remember, but some people thought that was too much and made like 7 stuffs "not to do" list. But even those were too much for some people, so they started something called "confession" thingy and few people took it literally and do crazy things like fasting and what not.
Needless to say, that didn't turn out to be such a bright idea.
According to H&R Block's website; http://www.hrblock.com/ "Fast Money Walk into an office with your taxes, and walk out with an Instant Money Refund Anticipation loan check. Up to $9,999 based on your refund amount. Money in your hands fast."
People, don't ever EVER get your tax refund this way. You may be in a financial jam or just impatient to get your money, but this is sure way to loose your money in a blink of an eye, and possibly the most stupidist thing you can ever do. The % you loose due to interest rate for loan in this case is highly unregulated and its easy to get scammed.
Anything and everything is breakable. Something that is done can be undone. In a game of cat (crypto) and mouse (cracker), if you throw in enough mouse, cat will loose.
It's not the quest to hide driving us to progress, it's the quest to find the answer. Yes, the universe is one big encrypted answer to all our quests. One day, if we throw in enough theories, we just might find that answer to that very question we have been pondering since the dawn of the ages...
Providing the needs for children at early stage in life in order to make them feel comfortable with computer is one thing, reshaping their interest and career choice for later in life is the other.
If you want your kids to spend their productive adulthood slashdotting is your thing, let me be the first one to say; teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be. [pause] I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows. If I fail, if I succeed, at least I will live as I believe no matter what they take from me.

That's true. PSU doesn't need to be cooled as efficiently as CPU and other component, however most PSU are used as venting duck for casing by design which isn't efficient itself. After all, the noise from PSU is mainly by the vibration of the metal grid caused by the oscillation from the fan.
Hence heat sink design seems to be the obvious for any low noise PSU solution. Better design would be having vent on top of casing with heat sink outside of encloded casing.
why on Earth would you want to offend one half of the spectrum and jeapordize a chunk of your readership?
By that math, 50% male, 50% female, 25% male + 25% female = half of the spectrum... OMG! >:O

It's incorrect to assume that, without DRM, their new OS would work on other platforms. That statement in itself is false. DRM is restrictive technology, not retroactive technology.
Viking ==> Brute (horny) Man ==> Woman playing hard to get ==> Man makes green cash ==> Man gives diamond to Woman ==> Diamond becomes woman's best friend ==> Brute (horny) Man becomes just Brute Man ==> Woman calls diamond "ice"
Hence Diamond = Ice = Cash = A lot of Green
All the men living in Greenland, we know your pain!
Trust goes both ways. Software and hardware industry now keep treating software and hardware for consumers as if it's a privilage to buy, and assumes that none of customers can be trusted as owners of a product.
I'm just disgusted that companies are putting on a smile and trying to gain consumers' "trust," yet none trusts consumers. However when consumers do not trust companies by removing DRM, consumers quickly become criminals, and are called pirates and thieves. While companies abuse the consumers' trust and play market share or monopoly or pricing/licensing games, companies are just looking out for the economy/artists/share holder's best interest.
There is no such thing as "trusted" computing. No one trust anyone here. This shouldn't be called "trusted computing." This should be called "Untrustful Consumers Computing."
Umm... yeah. Exactly why are you disagreeing with what you just agreed... Darwin is Apple's work hence I said, "Apple... put into Darwin/MacOSX then Apple cripples OS"... Taking something that works on many platforms and make it single platform by means of DRM seems to me is "crippling."
So why are we looking for life on planets we won't be able to get data back after a generation later? This really fits the meaning of "shooting for stars". After waiting 50 - 100 years, find out there is nothing there? So what if we do find life on planets, then what? What exactly does that prove or provide when we can't even all agree on evolution on Earth? Not to mention how to detect "life" on other planets.
What exactly is the point? Life is out there, I like to believe, but until I can see, feel, witness, study, examine in my own two hands, this is like online dating with some chick living on the other side of the planet and building long distant relationship through email messages on weekly basis.
Not that I know anything about online dating with a chick living in Russia... ok, I said too much...
Apple takes FreeBSD which runs on just about any platform including Intel and put into Darwin/MacOSX then Apple cripples OS to run on DRM Intel board, and embed messages to be found by people who decripple the OS to run on any Intel board.
Now who's calling who uncool? Decrippling is totally cool in my book while Crippling is not regardless of legality.
Apple! I'm calling you out. 3PM after school, by sandbox!
That's an interesting comment. As I live in NYC, you can't run into a block without tripping over a bank (figuretively speaking) in downtown area, especially financial district. Some may think that NYC is secure from such low tech scam (looking at a screen to steal ID and account info), it really is not. I see fancy bank branches with fancy wide open window area with accountants' computer screen facing outside all the time. Not to mention people walking into a bank and seeing their terminal wide open for everyone to see.
Granted, sensable accountant should logout or screenlock, but what you mentioned just reminded me when I used to look out the window from my office and saw so many (highup manager and executive looking office) people working with their computer screen facing window for other people across the street to see. Of course I have done nothing wrong by looking outside my window, but I can imagine how easy that would be for someone with bad intention.
One bank I know (I can't say in public) occupies first floor in a building in NYC and has located accountants near big wide window without shade. Anyone can walk on sidewalk and pass the bank and see what they are working on their comupter screen.
I don't care what you say... Librarians are sexy, and I'm a conservative! I won't be going to library to see some porn on internet. I'm going to the library to see some library hotties.

Man, you like to argue. This post is so yesterday. But I'll keep it alive, just for the sake of good fun.
I call you out on your bullshit because you posted it first. Man, you are mature one.
We are discussing your preposterous idea of whipping people for drinking alcohol, not the laws of the United States No, I didn't even suggest legislating idiotic law such as whipping people for drinking. I only suggested the law exists in countries such as islamic countries. Now I do admit, it's belief system that does not allow drinking alcohol, but legislative body does exists in those countries and does allow foreigners to drink alcohol. What does that prove? Nothing. Certainly I am not arguing that alcohol kills. I'm arguing "some" people are not responsible, regardless of the vast majority who ARE responsible.
Drinking alcohol is a victimless action, drunk driving is technically victimless, impacting another vehicle is not. Learn to fucking separate actions. So I decide to get drunk and start driving around your house 24/7, you have no objection. After all, I'm a pretty good driver drunk or not. Since it's a victimless action, as long as you don't call the cops on me, technically my action is just harmless but irresponsible, not asking for something like "running you over" to happen.
To address your ineptitude: I don't drink and drive, yet I drink alcohol from time to time. Hey, good for you. I drink time to time also.
It will always be that way until we find a way to get fully automated personal vehicles. Nah, there is many other way to reduce DUI such as a law to regulate or impose a device to be installed in a vehicle to disable automobile when breathalizer detects driver is under the influence. GPS, voice activation, hybrid engine, 4 wheel drive, RFID car key, biometric lock, yet no way to see if a driver is not able to drive... pretty sad.
I value freedom (the faults of the US system notwithstanding) over my own life. I do agree. But that's pretty idiotic statement. Dead people don't need freedom. Preserving freedom for the living people is more important. Someone's freedom to drink and drive threatens the preservation of other living people's freedom, not to drive, not to walk, but to LIVE. Not all drunk driving ends up with dead bodies, but 20,000 people a year by drunk driving ends up dead. Seems like it's pretty easy to preserve those 20,000 people's lives and freedom every year without violating anyone's right or freedom.
I'd go right up to the face of a woman whose entire family died right now and tell her that, despite her loss, whipping people 40 times for drinking is not right. Your appeal to emotion failed. Well, you could and probably would do that just to prove me wrong. That doesn't make it right or smart. Whipping 40 times for drinking and driving, I'm all for it. I think, America became full of chicken shit pussies like you who are too afraid to take any responsibility with disciplinary punishment. Everyone wants to sit pretty in a jail cell and pay fine. What the fuck is so unusual and cruel about whipping a drunk driver 40 times? This society became so fucking sensitive, now drunk drivers have to gather up at local AA and talk about their inner pain and bad fucking hangover? Fuck that. Whip 'em 40 times and talk among yourselves. There, I said it.
In El Salvador, if you get caught DUI, you die. OK, now that's idiotic. Fucking 40 whips, not 40 stabs.
The point is that you can't logically make a connection that drinking equals killing. I never said "drunk driving"=="kill". I said, it leads to 20,000 (ok, i said millions) innocent victims turning up dead every year.
I will guarantee to you that if someone attempted to whip me for drinking liquor, they would be perforated. Seriously, come fucking enforce that. hmm, somehow you like to confront people for simply trying to save some lives. You are an idiot. Drinkin
