by utilizing the properties of quantum entanglement, it may be possible to achieve faster-than-light communication
no, it isnt. this has nothing to do with the speed of light. you cant use quantum entaglement to send data faster than light. no one is trying to.
if you're trying to send data, you'll still need to send photons (or other particles) from one location to another. when you're talking about quantum entanglement and sending data across distances, what you're doing is taking two photons in the same location and tieing them together, then sending one of the particles across a distance. when it gets there, it's still tied together (unless something screwed it up on the way), but if you try to manipulate your photon then it unties from the other, so you cant use it to send info faster than light.
from what i've learned, the entangled photons are connected in sort of an instantaneous, faster-than-light way, but you cant send information because you cant manipulate one and affect the other. if you try to manipulate one, it loses its connection.
i could be wrong, or over simplifying it, but that's how i understand it.
ugh. how are they not related? what is matter? how could you possibly distinguish 1 photon from another with equal properties? you cant. there is no difference.
and "spooky" is a reference to Einstein's phrase "spooky action at a distance"
perhaps because i'd like to send an email from work to my GF with something like "hey wanna fuck tonight?" and i'm not particularly keen on the network guys reading that.
in my travels i can across this javascript-based RSA cryptography demo. if you want to use it, hit Generate, then send the first two numbers (Modulus and Public Exponent) to whoever you want to talk to. they have to do the same. you enter their modulus and exponent into another window to encrypt.
the code is BSD-licensed. i've been meaning to write a larger javascript app to hold your keys and everyone elses' in a single window, and with a click of a button create a block of XML that you can copy+paste to a file to store the keys, but i havent got around to it.
windows users have the option of configuring their PC so it's more expensive. that makes me feel a lot better about the price of a prebuilt with Ubuntu.
no wait, no i'm still pissed that the default windows prebuilt would be cheaper.
linux.dell.com has been there for over a month now (not sure exactly how long). this is the first i've seen it with the Ubuntu logo, though. there's still very little information there. hopefully they'll do something with it in the future.
it's not just URLs and post-back forms that can be vulnerable, cookies can be too. i didnt realize that until i found one on my own site. (it wasnt exploited, i found it on my own.)
There are many cases where there is more than one standard to do the same thing.
and in the cases where the 2 different standards are really for the same thing, it is a bad thing. Imperial and metric for example, are used for the same thing. different people might have different preferences, but i doubt anyone would argue that it's useful to have two.
and in the case of ODF and PDF, they're used for different purposes. one is meant to be editted, the other isnt.
exactly why i think this is a good idea. not enough pressure is being put on vendors to produce stable 64-bit drivers. this damn well better speed up the process.

this is god speaking. stop looking for superluminal travel. it doesnt exist.
you still have to use the electromagnetic spectrum. you are sending photons from one location to another.

you missed the part about quantum entanglement, which is not simply fiber optics. Niels Bohr is rolling in his grave right now.

then, in your opinion, at what age does this immaturity magically disappear?
look for the Cowon iAudio players (here's some). Cowon's website proudly states linux compatibility, and they support FLAC and ogg vorbis.
check out system 76. all ubuntu prebuilts. and i hear their support is excellent.

i didnt like gamespy either, but there were others that did the same thing. i used All Seeing Eye (i think it was/is called)
i take it you're not one of the many who has had their account mistaken blocked for several days. give it time.
i'm 1 of those 13 million, and i despise the service. unfotunately, valve has made it so you cant play their games online unless you use steam.
someone set up a database of what the words really say along with what we should type instead, and make it public. it'll be fun! like mad libs!

for the love of god, please tell me you got those numbers from the results of the project
...just scrolled through the list to make sure vista wasnt there?

i just finished reading this on another article. what a coincidink!
/me shoots self in the face for saying coincidink
like what? i dont deny that's true, but you cant just say "go google it".
