The odds are 1 in ({number of different symbols per character} to the power of {length of ciphertext}) - 1 of it being the plaintext. If the OTP is truely random, then a ciphertext can be decoded to any possible permutation of the same length with equal probability.
Take for example the ciphertext TIGZIFZOMASDRVBTJFVTS:
With an OTP of ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU it decodes to THEWEATHERISFINETODAY, while an OTP of LPOIIXMGZUQDYDBGGCHNA yields ITSRAININGCATSANDDOGS.
Without knowing the original OTP you have no way of knowing which of these decodes (or all other legible) is the correct one. Of course many decodes will result in gibberish as well (e.g. OTP 123456789012345678901). In this case the probability that any given message is the correct one (without being able to decide that, of course) is 1 in 7,31e+43. Its likelier to win the lottery and be struck by lightning on the same day.
Effective April 9th 2010, QNX Software Systems has updated its source code access policy. This FAQ has been prepared for customers, partners, and hobbyists and provides details on what has changed. Q. What has changed under the new source code policy?
Under the new policy, QNX Software Systems will continue to make its proprietary OS and middleware source code available to qualified customers, partners, and educational institutions. However, some of this code will no longer be available to hobbyists or to the general public.
The new policy classifies proprietary QNX source code as either Open (available to anyone under an open source license), Accessible (available to customers, partners, educational institutions, and hobbyists under a new click-through agreement), or Restricted (available to customers and partners with an approved QNX Restricted Content Application).
For example, QNX Software Systems will:
* continue to provide board support packages (BSPs) as open source * provide various libraries and utilities as Accessible source * provide source code for the QNX microkernel as Restricted source
Does anyone have a torrent with the current source?
I use encrypted RAR archives, their encryption is quite strong and uncracked as far as I know. RAR uses AES-128 in recent (V3.0+) versions, so it is quite strong indeed if the password is complex enough.
Make that RAID-6. With consumer grade drives I would not want to see a second drive die during a RAID-5 rebuild. For example a 3ware 9650SE-8LPML can be had for as little $520.
Yes you can and it has been done so for years.
You can license synthesizeable blocks (called IP cores) written in some kind of HDL and combine then to build your ASIC or FPGA just fine.
In the words of JMS:
Just over a year ago, Andreas Katsulas -- who loved smoking with a passion that cannot be described -- was diagnosed with lung cancer, which by then had already spread to other areas. He quit smoking at once and went on a healthy diet and vitamin program, but there was little hope of a good resolution even though the new regimen was very good for him. When we spoke about it, he laughed, and said, "Now that I'm dying I've never felt better!"
His spirits were always up and positive, putting everyone at ease about his condition, because...well, that's the kind of person he was.
A couple of months ago, he and his wife convened a dinner with me, Doug, and Peter Jurasik, which was filled with laughter and stories and good food. He wanted to know all the stories we never told him because, as he said, "Who am I going to tell?" So we did. Because we knew we were saying goodbye, and there would not be a second chance.
Last night, in the company of his wife and family, Andreas closed his eyes and went away.
He lived an amazing life...full of travel and wonder and good work...was part of the world renowned Peter Brook company...he saw the planet, loved and was loved, ate at great restaurants, smoked too many cigarettes...he lived a life some people would die for.
And, sadly, due to the last part of that equation...he did.
Memorial arrangements are still being worked out, but will doubtless be private.
Andreas is gone...and G'Kar with him, because no one else can ever play that role, or ever will.
I will miss him terribly.
J. Michael Straczynski and about Richard Biggs JMS wrote
I was awakened today with several phone calls from cast members and Doug to pass along the terrible news that this morning, Richard Biggs passed away.
We're still gathering information, so take none of this as firm word, but what seems to have happened, happened quickly. He woke up, got up out of bed...and went down. The paramedics who showed up suggested it was either an aneurysm or a massive stroke.
His family members have been informed, and all of the the cast have, as far as we can determine, also been informed.
This is a terrible loss for all of us. Richard was a consummate professional but more than that he was an honorable, stand-up guy. If he gave you his word on something, you never had to wonder about it afterward. He was always helpful and supportive of all the cast, even those who only came in for one episode, always with a ready smile and determined to do whatever it took to make the scene work. He was, quite simply, a terrific guy, and everyone here is just devastated at the news.
More word as this develops. We may try to have some kind of fund raiser to help give whatever assistance may be helpful for his kids.

It my be remarkably destructive to flesh, but I would worry more about the depletion of calcium ions from the bloodstream... hypocalcaemia can be very bad for your health (i.e. cardiac arrest). HF is one of the few chemicals I would never touch.
Oh, so the kids should be allowed to get fat and develop health problems like diabetes, BEFORE the parents should be allowed to say something?
Bollocks. Preventing obesity is a good reason to monitor what your kids eat.
I think you are missing the point here. If parents talked to their children about it and showed that they cared and trusted them, there would be no need to monitor them. Overprotecting is aside from (founded or unfounded) fear mostly caused by a lack of mutual trust. If you have to monitor your children or think you do then there is evidently a lack of trust between you and them. If you have come to the point that you do not trust your children and, because of that, your children do not trust you any more, I think you have failed as a parent.
Seriously, are the frames of Japanese comics meant to be read right to left? Does the language work that way too? (I know Arabic and some others are like that...) For some reason, (although it should) it surprises me if that's the case.
Yes, Japanese manga is read from right to left and back to front.
The classic writing system consists of columns that are read from top to bottom, beginning with the rightmost and moving to the left while the modern writing system uses the western style of lines and is read from left to right.
Don't tell me you are surprised by this... I am not. After all Echelon has been around much longer so this was only to be expected to happen. The scary thing however is that it took so long to get out. Makes you wonder what else they have in hiding...
If Skype bows to FCC pressure (which they will) then they will not provide encryption in their service which means that the people using Skype won't be able to encrypt their calls.
Skype never disclosed the internals of their crypto, didn't allow the user to employ their own keys and/or crypto modules and avoided anwering questions concerning crypto or reasons for anti-softiceing skype on the forums. All this looks highly suspicious to me and I would not be surprised if there was some kind of interception capabilities already included. That's why I do not use Skype or ever will.

Richard Biggs tragically died at age 44 because of an aortic dissection.
