    Large city police departments are already pushing back at FBI for their lagging technical crypto requirements.

  3. Re:Since when was 1983 the dark ages? on One-a-Day-Compiles: Good Enough For Government Work In 1983 · · Score: 1

    How did those machines help typical business or science users with mainframe or mini computer? A few hundred thousand line COBOL or ForTran program wouldn't fit in those things....

  4. Re:Huh? on One-a-Day-Compiles: Good Enough For Government Work In 1983 · · Score: 1

    Guess again, the IBM System Unit 5271 (commonly called the 3270 PC) was PC XT with card it in to hook to mainframe and emulate 3270 was *introduced* by IBM in October of 1983.

    The University I attended still had punched cards for the Honeywell mainframe in 1983, they finally got terminals the next year.

  5. Re:Good news! Now get it FIPS certified. on OpenSSH No Longer Has To Depend On OpenSSL · · Score: 1

    no, FIPS does not meet the approval of those who deal in securing communications, it has dubious/poor security protocols included. that's why the OpenBSD team threw it out of LibreSSL. Past time to get rid of symbolism over substance in the realm of security.

  6. Re:Another political move on OpenSSH No Longer Has To Depend On OpenSSL · · Score: 1

    is not political when project which has focused on securing communication and servers and have proven track record are ponying up and actually *doing the work*. you're the one making political nonsense.

    no, people would be distracted trying to make their phone work while driving

  8. Re:9,000 times faster at what? on Stanford Bioengineers Develop 'Neurocore' Chips 9,000 Times Faster Than a PC · · Score: 1

    I have a very strong suspicion any normal home PC could emulate what these chips done by 15 year old fab tech can, faster

  9. Re:I DO NOT WANT "digital mail" on How the USPS Killed Digital Mail · · Score: 1

    nonsense, there are legal ways to digitally represent all the documents you mentioned. the world is moving on beyond physical documents

    you know of a world with a billion astronomers!? we don't have to search at all.

  13. Re:Sigh on The People Who Are Still Addicted To the Rubik's Cube · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    No, we have Progressive Liberal administration in power, yet they are also big corporation butt-lickers and continue the Bush/Cheney agenda. More proof your Republican vs. Democrat view is very naive.

    you have no viable point, professional programmer title also doesn't prove you can competently write in a signle language either.

  17. Re:No Graham Chapman? on Monty Python To Bid Farewell In a Simulcast Show · · Score: 1

    Yes but those not performances. Live as Aspen show was talkshow/interview format with (very hilarious) reminiscing, not a perfermance except for the gag with the urn. Almost the Truth had interviews with them

  18. Re:WHERE IS MY MONEY? on Texas Family Awarded $2.9 Million In Fracking Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    yes I suspect a natural gas source as the root cause of yours and mom's problems. a change in diet probably will set things right

  19. Re:No Graham Chapman? on Monty Python To Bid Farewell In a Simulcast Show · · Score: 3, Insightful

    1989 really was the end of Monty Python, some partial reunions since then, some interviews....but if more than three or four members performed something together since then I don't recall it. They were already 45 years and older then, and all went on to other things. 20 years for a comedy group is a good run.

  20. Re:Circuity? on 3D Printer Lays Down Functioning Circuitry Alongside Thermoplastic · · Score: 2

    I'm thinking of a much much cheaper alternative to this printing machine for connecting components. It would have flexible copper center covered with rubber or plastic insulator, I'm thinking a lot of the stuff could be wound around a cylindrical holder. Maybe we could call these things electron-pipes or electro-threads and sell it by the unit length.
