Eve could simply act as if she were Bob, randomly filtering photons and then letting Alice know which ones she got, imposing as Bob. Then creates her own quantum encryption key then sends it to Bob and intercepts Bob's reply to Alice trying to let Alice know which ones he got. As easy as that, any encryption is worthless if there is a man in the middle.
I'm working on a 'clatho' in my spare time. Personally I think Dr. Katz smokes too much Crack. I work in information retrieval. My job is to make the information you want easier to get and ensure it's the most relevant. Does that make me a savior of this up comming 'cyberclism'? I hope not. This upcomming 'cyberclism' isn't much different from the industrial age. Technology advances and we adapt. Those that can't handle it end up in the asylum (where Dr. Katz belongs?).
My 'clatho' is not a portal as Dr. Katz's appears to be, it's not a buisness venture, though I wouldn't mind making money off it. I would prefer to see the most people benifit from it rather than turning the biggest buck though. Eventually, I would like to bring it to an open source project.
My general idea, without going too much in depth is a personal 'clatho'. Keeping track of your favorite sites and trying to find relavant new ones. Letting you know when your favorite sites have been updated and only serving you the new content. Eventually it should be able to share interesting sites with your friends personal 'clathos' who share the same particular interests. I'm fairly confident people will find the tool extremely useful, especially as an opensource project. Keep an eye out for it.
My girlfriend had a pretty bad case of CTS a while ago. Basicly, you need to keep your wrists straight and keep it inactive other than excercising it throughout the day. Namely, don't type, drive, pick things up, etc. Put your wrist in a split and keep it as straight as you can.
CTS, for those in the don't-know, is caused by inflamation of the tendons in your wrist which surround the carpeltunnel. Through which, the bulk of the nerves travelling to your hands pass through. The inflamation causes the nerves to be pinched off.
A doctor should be able to provide you with a good splint that will restrict wrist movement. They should also be able to provide you with a subscription for steroids which should keep your tendons from swelling and pinching your nevers while you recover.
Ibprofen is good to take also, if you're done with or not on the steroids. Ibprofen should keep the tendon swelling down. Soaking your wrist in warm water will also help keep the swelling down.
It took her about a month to recover. She was in alot of pain durring that time, especially in the mornings. Unforunately, tendons do not heal quickly.
She had a few relapses after her wrist got better. If you got CTS in the first place, you apperently need to change a few things so you don't get it again.
That's where erganomics come in. You need to have a verticly adjustable chair in your office so that you can situate yourself above your keyboard such that you don't have to bend your wrists more than 15 degrees. You might pay attention to how much strain you put on your wrist while driving, especially if you have a long commute. Keep them straight.
Surgery is deffinately a last resort. Most doctors seem to have no problem putting people through hell. But that's just IMHO, having had over 15 operations. Get a second opinion before you go through with any operation is my advice. You may need the operation, then again, you may not have a very good doctor.
Usually Surgery is only suggested if you've had CTS for over 3 months (I think) and it hasn't gotten better, or it's started to get worse. Normally the doctor should first suggest a splint and perscribe some steroids which can be taken orally. The next step, after not getting better after a month is usually an injection of steroids into your wrist. If that doesn't help, it's off to the OR for you.
Lastly but not least, try not to strain your other wrist while the first one is healing. My girlfriend's other wrist started hurting while she was recoving since she was making the other wrist do the work of two wrists. Most likely she already had a emerging case of CTS in her right wrist. Since it was her stronger hand, it didn't show up as fast and she didn't help it by using it more instead of less.

Hope the advice is hepful. Take care.
