Well, I obviously don't know as much as Google does but... If I were them, I would always be trying to think of good products which call the attention of people to google, since Microsoft and maybe others seem to be trying to poke into the "search engine market"...
Don't tell anyone! Now gmail may start parsing RAR files and forbidding anyone from attaching rar files which include executable files:(
They already do this with zip files, which is a pity. Many times, I have to send attachments which include EXE files... If this protection is implemented, we'll have to rename the exe files to ex_ or something:( What next, parsing the exe header?
I'm not english speaking. Now your link has left me really confused. I thought that the "begs the question" war was about two alternatives for it's meaning:
a) makes us think of the question (without explicitly asking it) b) the fallacy we all know (assuming the thing being proved)
According to your link, the war seems to be about those two alternatives instead:
a) explictly asks the question b) makes us think of the question
So what's the deal after all? I thought I understood what those wars were about...
Actually, it has been proven (by Antoine Joux and maybe others, if you want a starting point for some googling) that using two hashes simultaneously is not as good as we used to think...
By coincidence, I was reading this article at Bruce's blog just before it was posted on slashdot. I was thinking of submitting it here myself but... it really doesn't bring anything new, just a few comments of which most had already been made by fellow slashdotters here, when the other story was posted.
What would be REALLY interesting would be the publishing of the paper... So anyone here who gets hold of it, please share.
I'll get a simple cable and connect the sound card output to it's input. Then I'll record the songs. Of course I'll loose some quality if it's an analog output, but is it really that significant? I don't know, I haven't tried...

Each country gets the leaders they deserve. US is mostly a redneck country, and the ones who aren't suffer by consequence.
Actually it adds less security than doubling the hash length, due to a result found by Antoine Joux. Look it up :)

Look it up elsewhere then...
Thanks for the clarification :)
Trees are not animals...
As another user has said, the grand parent should have said that this issue is NO LONGER a topic of debate outside the US.
For your own sake, I hope you can see what I mean...
It's called a Lucas Lehmer primality test, which only works for mersenne numbers.
There's a technical name for software like WINE. It's not an emulator, it's a compatibility layer. Look it up on wikipedia.

Well, actually it's only a research summary, sorry... But, it is something :)

RTFA, that's exactly what the article says...

No, it's 2^11 times faster, which is 2048 times faster... Rule:
a^n / a^m = a^(n-m)
Even if he was doing this as a proof of concept, your second possibility would still be true - he would be a dick making a stupid proof of concept...
Trolling here like you did also shows a tremendous inteligence... Grow up man
Well, assuming that's true and not just a troll, one would think that what you did was highly unfair... Did he harm anyone as much as you harmed him?
Yes, that's why I said "if it's an analog output"... There are digital outputs too. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out :)

Agreed.
