Speciation by natural selection, the moon landing, the spherical earth and the holocaust have today been conclusively proved authentic. The debate should now end. Film at eleven.
ODF is already on a roll throughout the European governments. It is the standard in Belgium, Croatia, the Netherlands, and has a strong foothold in Finland, France, Germany, the UK, Norway and Slovakia.
The real watershed moment will be when the central EU administration decides to standardize it. That might greatly encourage the other member nations to follow...
That's easy - the (uncompressed) clear text is going to be considerably less entropic than average, and even most compression algorithms cannot raise the entropy to the same level as that of a random message.
The key-space in DES 56 (ie, 2^56) is considerably smaller than the number of possible messages with that length (might be 2^(1000*x) for a text multiple kB message). If one of these 2^56 keys decrypts the message to a coherent clear text out of 2^1000, it's extremely unlikely to be a chance result.
If you encrypted random data, then it would take a long while, but after searching the whole key space the eavesdropper would eventually conclude that there is no clear text.
You were probably thinking of a one-time-pad, where the key contains exactly as many bits of random noise as the message is long. That gives every clear message of the right length exactly the same likelihood, and really does make it impossible to know when you've succeeded - or to determine whether the message is random noise or not.
The last line seems to me (as a non-lawyer, mind you) more fascinating than the headline. Offering a settlement looks like betting on a stock price: The RIAA was willing to sell its $54,000 judgement for less than HALF that amount. They must expect to ultimately get less than that.
And Ms. Thomas-Rasset (or rather her lawyer, since nobody would make a decision like that against their lawyer's advice) seems to share that view, since she refused the settlement. They must be confident that they'll pay less than $25,000, or even nothing.
In addition, getting a German driver license requires you to learn the basics of first aid in case of an accident.
Also, companies are required (by the unions rather than by law, as far as I know) to maintain a certain quota of on-site employees trained in first aid.
So the idea is that even though you are supposed to give aid regardless of whether you're qualified, there is supposed to be someone around who *is* qualified.

That's easy, all you need is a vacuum.
It'll boil at the same time, but that can't be helped...
It's Not That Kind Of Teleportation
And the first comment on TFA is, of course, someone saying how this can be used for FTL communication.
Excuse me, why is anyone listening to what MS has to say about Internet security, again?
They accept everything else, written by monkeys or not.
This is a wonderful idea. Let's call the volunteer participants in this program Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter .
Well, it's a very convoluted proof.

I love that my web browser can broadcast which office suite I am using.
And at that point, television watch YOU. :)
Other than an attorney bill that you need to sell your kidney for.
Yeah, that's going to teach the RIAA not to scare people. :/
Watching television may become illegal completely some day. Is that a bad thing?
That's debatable.
So we can put a man on the moon, but we can't write an open-source CAD program?
Exactly! Girls have cooties.
Well duh, everyone knows that avoiding Windows improves your security.
Quick! We must add more obnoxious and expensive DRM to our content to prevent this rampant theft!
I guess they should have paid their TV bill.
Source is not a hat, but this page: http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/opendocument/who/
It would be a very pyrrhic victory for the RIAA, given that they originally wanted two million, and the precedent would be set for a fortieth of that.
Don't forget to bathe in the blood of virgins regularly.

Oh great, now the universe is going to sue the pants off our planet.

Me, I let a Navaho code talker read out the bit stream before transmission.
