It depends on what hashing function is used or. For passwords, yeah, that kind of function is good. But that's not the only use for hash function. If you need to know if files X and Y in different systems are identical, you want that checksum pretty fast. If you are transmitting data at 10Gbit/s and want to make sure it's going without problems, you are going to need something very fast. But you most likely want to make sure it's still slow enough that it cannot be bruteforced on the wire.
That's not too hard to archive. They just needed to import a lot more oil & LNG. Replacing single 1180W generator requires importing additional 90 000 tonnes of LNG per month (or 35 000 bpd of crude oil). That's extra 607.5 tonnes of CO2 per MWh with LNG, even more with oil.
if you have not yet cleared customs into the USA, you are not yet considered to be on US territory.... the government declares that actions outside of US territory do not have to respect US law.
So if you hijack a plane when within US airspace, but you haven't landed yet (and thus haven't cleared the customs) and use it to destroy some building and kill X number of people, you did nothing illegal in the US? And if you manage to escape, you are merely arrested for illegal entry?
- P2P throttling? Not here.
- Artificial speed shaping or restrictions. Not here, unless you surpass your monthly limit on a flat rate plan.
- Forbidding servers on residential connections? Not here.
- Deep packet inspection and other traffic manipulation? Not here.
- Bad contention ratios. Not here (on the good ISPs at least).
In Finland, we get all those (well, okey, hosting a server is techincally against most of ISPs ToS, but I have never heard anyone getting cut off due to that. And at least one ISP uses force proxy for "CP" filtering), but we also don't have any kind of caps. Sure, you might not get full speeds, but that's usually due shitty copper. I have 110Mbps/5Mbps cable connection and I have no trouble getting 100/5 speeds (Linux support for my file server's 1Gbps network adapaters is quite bad (they hang up during load), so I opted to use my 2 port 100Mbps Intel card). Sure, normally I don't need to sustain that speed for long since when I actually get something fast enough, it will be complete in no time. I think my record is something like 100GB within ~3-4h.
Price is 55e/month. 2Mbps/500Kbps from the same ISP is 25e/month. Most of the low end (1-2Mpbs) ADSL connections are around the same. 384Kbps 3G connetions are generally ~10e/month.
...and then I get sad when I think about Sweden/Japan/South Korea...
Let's say you are sending a file to someone and encrypt it using that other person's public key. Then you forget the encrypted file on your hard drive (and probably even who he was if you don't keep track of things). Now, how can you give a key that decrypts this file?
What if someone made a virus that deleted the said files & registry entries and it went wild? Would anyone that got the virus be sued if they got extra coupons? Especially if the virus automatically ran the software to print more?
At least yet no one is sued if their computer is used as a part of ddos attack due to having some virus/trojan/worm on their comp.
I remember submiting similar story about 1.5-2 years ago and it got rejected. The only difference is that now MSNM tells the message couldn't be sent, back then it simply got censored (more times than once I pasted url with download.php? to friend and asked a bit later if they had already downloaded it to direct them further and they were like "Downloaded what?")
