I'd love to see you crack my WPA AES 256-bit encryption. Go ahead, give it a try. I'll give you $1,000 if you can do it. I'll give you a hint: the first character is "7". There are 63 more to go.
No, they'd just blame it on piracy and try to make DRM even more restrictive. However, if we were to start buying CDs and DVDs en masse again, they'd claim that it is due to the success of DRM. You can't win with these guys.
Some cryptographers worry about the security of AES. They feel that the margin between the number of rounds specified in the cipher and the best known attacks is too small for comfort. The risk is that some way to improve these attacks might be found and that, if so, the cipher could be broken. In this meaning, a cryptographic "break" is anything faster than an exhaustive search, so an attack against 128-bit key AES requiring 'only' 2120 operations would be considered a break even though it would be, now, quite unfeasible.
If it's only unfeasable to break 128-bit now, what do you think about 256? 256-bit has -gasp- not twice the encryption strength, but 2^128 times the strength!
Not secure enough? Hell, if the NSA decides that 256-bit AES encryption is good enough for TOP SECRET classified information, I would tend to believe that it's secure.
The way I understand it, our universe consists of four dimentions that we can readily explain to some degree of accuracy, plus a bunch that I won't even try to understand. They are: length, width, volume (depth), and time. If you tell me that time has more than one dimention, then length, width, and volume have more than one dimention to them as well.
There's an easy way to get around this: simply ship drives unformatted, and include instructions on how to format it. I'm sure there are other ways to get around it on devices such as digital cameras and such as well.

Unless you're Verizon, then it'll take 150,000,000 miles to pay back

The voice is in the past tense because it's showing what we could see as a headline in several years. It's grammatically correct.

It doesn't matter - they were both still the same generation of console.
Not to be picky, but the SNES wasn't competing with the PSX. The N64 and PSX fought.
NES vs Master System
SNES vs Genisis
N64 vs PSX
DC vs PS2
PS2 vs Xbox vs GCN

No wonder they were so cheap here! :-D

Solar noon away from actual noon? I wish they would fix it here... In the summer, solar noon is around 1400.
