FYI, Concorde wasn't an EU project, and neither is Airbus. GALILEO is stalled largely for political reasons, and the large number of often conflicting players in its political system is down to the open and democratic nature of things. Could things be done quicker with one controlling interest, an overflowing military budget, and contracts awarded based on nepotistic connections -- American style? Maybe. But then again, maybe not... I don't know a great deal about GPS but I bet that was like most US defense contracts -- ten years behind schedule and a billion dollars over budget. GALILEO's nowhere near that bad. Yet.
AFAIK it's not just Django, there's stuff like TurboGears out there as well that does the same sort of thing. I believe Django was developed for a publishing environment and still has newspaper-y assumptions built in, whereas Rails was designed to be more general-purpose, but I haven't encountered Django recently so this could all be old news...
As far as I'm aware, fissile plutonium doesn't always come out of the process - it needs to be a specific type of reactor, with enriched fuel, to "breed" plutonium...
But the decision about what is and isn't discarded also has to be transmitted over your link, otherwise your one-time-pads won't match up, I would think?
Besides, if you're going to transmit as much key as you have message, why use two different lines at all? Why not use some currently "secure" method over the inherently secure quantum line, and not have to send twice as much data?

making softscreens. I wonder when the Gaijin will turn up?
I say something vaguely anti-American, and I get modded flamebait. How open-minded /.ers are...

Didn't know that - thanks!

Have *you* got $110 million in spare cash to throw at space research?
Definitely. They've done it very well in the past, and there's no real reason they should suddenly go brain-dead!
Bearing in mind of course that with a one-time-pad the key is just as long, bit-wise, as the message...
