The obvious fail was that the fabric in the wings wasn't even tense, it was looser than the aforementioned vagina. There's no way it was being used as a wing.
My first reaction to this was WTF, but I think I know the basic idea for his plan: pack as many people into a tin can as possible and send them flying.
Let's hope they're all hairdressers and telephone sanitizers.
I don't think the OP was referring to public keys and session key exchanges (where a different key every time isn't optional, it's part of the process).
If you assume peak computing power is doubling ever n years, they you need one more bit every n years to keep ahead.
And of course, whatever you use now will be breakable in the future, if anyone cares to save your messages until computing catches up.
Nope.
At some point you have to take into account how much energy it would take to try all the keys. Even if you get it down to a few thousand electrons per key (unlikely) you'll still need to suck energy directly from the sun's core to break 128-bit AES in a reasonable time.
That's done for a completely different reason. With SSL you don't have a pre-agreed key so you have to create one for that session.
If you know the other person and have agreed on a key then it's not necessary.
Breaking AES may be impossible. That was the design goal at least.
Not that DES was never 'broken' it's just that brute-force searching of 56 bit keys became possible. With a 128-bit key that's not going to happen.
(nb. I prefer 128-bit AES to the 192-bit and 256-bit variants. I just don't get a warm fuzzy feeling about their key schedules, if you want to guard against attacks on the algorithm you should probably add more rounds to 128-bit AES rather than fiddling with the key).

Det-cord shoelaces? I bet they don't check for that...
The small amount of EMF "noise" they generate and the part of the spectrum they use is not going to interfere with any of the plane's electronics.
...until they malfunction and start broadcasting a whole load of crazy.
Just tried it, it works fine in Firefox 13...
P.S. The price premium on Blurays reminds me of the price premium on CDs. Cassettes cost $8-9 while CDs cost $12 minimum.
...despite the fact that CDs were far cheaper to manufacture than cassettes.
Basically: "It was our first attempt and it had localized spots which were hotter than we designed for."
NO mod points available, but, "^ This! ^"

Not a game - or entertainment or luck. Just calculation of reall odds and risk.
Ummmm, he was dealt four eights in a row and the dealer had a five visible (the worst possible card for him).
How is that not luck...?
Windows has it built in. Go to the start menu, do "switch user", and, bingo! A whole new desktop...

First, this is slashdot, so I reject any claims of girlfriend/wife by default.
If she's calling in the middle of the night she's likely to be a bunny boiler.
Even slashdotters can get that sort of girlfriend.
And only people who can't use apostrophes call them cheap.

You go right ahead and wait for 2 fucking hours for your 50 GB Bluray image to be copied/processed on your mechanical toaster;
You might want to check your numbers before posting again...
Let's just elect Google.
After reading this I'm seriously thinking of removing google-analytics.com from Noscript's banned site list.

2^128 is a BIG number.
How many bits should we use for encryption now?
Symmetric or asymmetric encryption...?

could you create an encryption method that generates a new encryption key for every new message.
You could but you don't need to.
If your encryption algorithm is secure then it's secure. Period. Brute force of (eg.) AES can't be done, even by the NSA.
If it isn't secure then changing the key doesn't add anything (unless you're using weak keys).
having had experience with SAIC in the past - one wonders how they remain in business
Simple: Wining and dining of the government officials with the cheque books.
and just like that my faith in humanity has been restored.
Only after the threat of jail time for the bosses...and only for one company out of the many thousands that have stolen public money lately.
I think there's a difference between not paying your insurance and sneaking around at night breaking into parked cars.
A lot of ordinary people could do the former, it takes a real criminal to do the latter.
This is inevitable as we move away from gasoline. How will people pay "fuel tax" on electric cars otherwise?
Yeah, knowing that their license plate is on camera ... and their face, too.
