if quantum computing is possible, foregoing the cost, what kinds of nanotechnology might be on the way? regenerative fuel from garbage? viruses for individual gene patterns? artificial "bionic" body parts". Neurological mapping? BOO! Im not paranoid just thinking...
Has anyone in the cryptographic field tried to apply
small worlds theory to the problem? just curious, since "Sneakers" in 1992, the robert redford movie where someone designed a little black box to decipher all codes, I've wondered about how that would be achieved
I used to have a jungle survival manual, so now if ever Im trapped on a deserted island, that has monkeys and coconuts available, I know that with a vine, a stake, and two holes in a coconut, within the coconut a scrap of food, I can trap a monkey with food that I find, to get the monkey to find food for me, or I could eat the monkey if it doesn't find anything. I would rather eat the coconut make a fishing line with the vine, catch some fish and name the monkey Wilson, since I don't have a volleyball.
ok I haven't read all the entries, and Im new to slashdot so let's see if I can cover the multitudinous topics that I have seen so far. Regardless of science and it's precision or fallability, Identifying objects in history inevitably fall to the most reasonable explanation with a few scientific pieces of evidence to support it. in our current way of looking at things, the explanation with more scientific evidence wins. Although regarding the shroud, I haven't seen my favorite explanation that it was a gag perpetrated by Leonardo da Vinci, either to hide the real shroud, or some less devotional reason. incidently, da Vinci was supposedly gay, and a scientist, I don't know whether he wore clothes of two fibers or not. See how this all ties in? My point is, as an arguement gets more intense ( provided it stays on topic) evidence and concepts fall like tetris pieces right into place, provided there is a base of current societal viewpoint, the opinions of the arguers not only guide the pieces but support the ones that seem most reasonable. There are hot buttons which can trump the prevailing arguments that titilate further arguement, and there are rules to whatever belief system the arguer has that close off other viewpoints, science is really wrought with these traps, but they come a little clearer when someone is a zealot. in regards to gays in the bible, the story of sodom and gamorrah is the one I find most used as 'evidence' that 'god hates gays' but read it again, the 'sin' of that story is inhospitality. in my own opinion the concept of sinning is more of an honor thing than getting into the right afterlife club, and sin and its 'fruit' change as you get more complicated. ok Ive gone way off i think, ill just close with this, natural fibers rule! there more comfortable and they breathe! yeaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!

is there any event in the natural world that follows the patterns of prime numbers? I like to think pragmatically...
my previous reply was a code for the words Military intelligence, I know old, redundant, but still fun, and I had to tie it in with the main subject
