One-way hashing would do this relatively easily. Similar to passwords if you hash the original content and then the tested content and they match there is a very high probability that it is the same original content. It is also irreversible (in bounded time).
Either way I'm not picking one up, I'll go to hand-crank radio and telegrams before I become a beacon of marketing information.
That's the problem. It is open-source software and in the hands of "foreigners", thus they present a proven leak on security software. They don't want to fund a company that is doing this even if the company had good intentions, I assume.

This is stupid, different people have different ways of escaping, and just because it COULD happen (which would require a level of industry cohesion that will likely never exist) doesn't mean it will.
1/10 for being a bad idea and not even being funny.
Remember also in the 1940s when Alan Turing came on a collaborative visit to washington to discuss German encryption (which he has already broken, but the UK has not told the US about it). Washington gave their allies total disclosure to their computing machines, Turing went back and invented a few things... a machine that would crack the German code and.... the Turing machine.
I don't see how the UK can expect to get the sourcecode for the JSF... it's absolutely ludicrous.
The US is spending billions BUYING JSFs from the UK, why would the UK get the software for free?
Trade for some of your secrets and perhaps we'll accept, but for now the JSF is a coorporate matter, while the source-code to our weapons systems is a matter of national security. (Hell they already have the plans to our most sophisticated jet, don't get me started on that)
Seriously the sheer cynicism and lack of attention people pay to WTF is going on in these comments kills me sometimes.
I don't agree with the "good" part coming from implosion. Business will realize the folly of their ways but without radical reform this critical mass will indeed implode and we will see....
massive trade deficites,
outsourcing to places where innovation is still rewarded,
a rise in poverty due to innovative business that come up with the better mousetrap to pay better wages because of decreased costs,
and a drastic increase in the wealth of the few because they hold onto these patents and power..... sound familiar?
But... if it does cause reform, I suppose I agree that the litigation is "good". But in every way, implosion is "bad".
Cancer is caused by a number of things, many of which occur in times of high stress, poor food, or poor living conditions. (Some of these things are self-inflicted because we don't have to care about living well since we have TV to take away the pain)
Cancer is an alteration of DNA, which causes super-cells to out-produce, out-perform, and out-consume normal cells which will be fatal to the host.
Cancer can cause evolution, what if this super-cell was not a harmful cell but a super-immunity cell.
So in this way, many factors that would occur from being poorly fitted to an environment can cause evolution... not just adaption.
I keep my money at the bank! The bank can be subpoenad by the federal courts and all my information gets sent to the courts. Our privacy is seriously intruded upon by this blatant, monolithic overseeing of MY OWN PERSONAL history. Based on this I can be held accountable for my actions AND THAT IS BS!
What if I was to rob a bank and inject a large amount of cash??? They could trace me and that isn't fair!!!
So please stop all data gathering because what if all americans were terrorists then we would be all be put in jail for our actions. Or what if _I_ was a terrorist, then I would be put in jail and that is BS. Even if I wasn't a terrorist _I_ may have to go to court and defend myself and if I was maybe just a little terroristy I could be held accountable! This is BS and I don't like it, close the banks and long live leeroy.
Asking WHICH mmo to play is like asking what religion to join, or asking whether C# or Java is better, or emacs or vi, ford or chevy, you get the picture.
That being said, I play WoW. It's noob friendly, has nice graphics, and features enough quests to allow the casual gamer to get into the mix of things up until a higher level.
The servers are overcrowded now, especially the RPG servers, but they are probably worth it if you're looking for a fantasy land.
But since they are always-on, they can be addictive... you can ALWAYS do one more quests cause your friends are never going to have to go home because they have to work, and if they do you can always find a new friend to run with.
My fiancee and I play together, she is in medical school and I am in grad school and we make good grades. Sometimes we stay up too late and get cranky and bicker a little bit but we always realize that it's just a game.
So get WoW, it's relatively new and dominates the market. Everything else is antiquated except for EQ2, which from experience is far to involved, under-populated, and monotonous to be fun.
The phone companies log the length of the call as well. It would have to be a looong silence on the phone....

1) As I understand it Vista will employ a more rigorous security framework in which capabilities require individual authorization and expire over time or with use. Can you elaborate on this? Will user/pass be required each time we install/change registry entries/access protected disk sectors? Is there any structural barrier that disallows me from subverting this mechanism through something as simple as a buffer overflow, for example a program that I authorize to edit my bookmarks to could potentially insert a trojan in that same directory named family.jpg, which googledesktop will likely find, index, and bring to my attention?
2) The recent accelerated patch was certainly a big PR win for Windows in most communities. Did the immediate quieting of the vocal security community help towards moving Microsoft into a more agile patching philosophy rather than the previous, batched philosophy?
If the researcher is asked about this specific topic he will admit that he does not have the evidence to support this claim conclusively... he was interviewed on the NPR early last week.
But.. this researcher was smart enough to use an extraordinary claim to generate a huge media buzz, get some notariety for something that no one else will touch with a 10-foot pole, and ultimately generate some money for his research projects.
Ahh politics...
Jokes aside, Americans may laugh because google already indexes multimedia and a host of other information like scientific journals and nudey pics. But the Euros have a healthy dose of nationalism that will likely influence their homepage.
I don't think anyone can compete with google right now in a slug match on indexing, but other factors make special purpose internet hubs a winner. (a number already exist such as yahoo and/.)
Algea is often used to harvest various chemicals out of the water. They are used heavily in the aquarium industry (think huge aquariums that need to scrub animal wastes from the contained environments). These algea farms have to be harvested to keep their grown under control. This makes me think that a series of special-purpose, biologically engineered algea scrubbers could grow (given enough sun, grow quite rapidly) and then be harvested as various fuels. From the hip I would have guessed the raw algea could be used as bio-diesel, but I guess the biologers may know more than I do about this stuff.
The key length is decieving because the real measure of difficulty is the size of the decision tree. Double and Triple DES doesn't add to the raw complexity in the same way a longer key does, I'll spare the math but here is the result:
Triple 64 bit DES results in complexity: 2^64 + 2^64 + 2^64
where as a true 256 bit AES results in complexity: 2^256
Compute those and it will be obvious that DES is antiquated no matter how many times one re-encryptes it.
The challenge is to have a "persistant ID" that follows the user of the PDA from location to location along a network (typically wireless, from one building to the next). This raises significant concern, how do we verify that the person using the PDA is the authorized person?
Other than that it's just the typical gauntlet of bounds checking, software verification, and automated patching. Oh yea, and tacking on mission-critical hardware.
Doing that while retaining PDA status and not moving into mini-laptop territory will be a challange as well, at least with current technology (*cough nanocarbons).

Low income families normally get ahold of a second-hand computer for far less that $400, more on the order of $20-50.
Pop in a wireless card for $20 and they have the capability to file taxes, read email, download sweet linux images, and browse pr0n with the best of us! (for under $50).
That is only 2 months of the cheapest broadband you can get.
