Are they allowed to take risks like that?

Because you should have used a < instead of a >. Jesus.

It would be *very* easy to have smartphones with adequate security from all sorts of perspectives. Secure key storage, secure storage, secure communications, secure boot, secure containers, secure remote management, secure (multiple factor) authentication, secure arbitration of what hardware can access what memory etc. The thing is: if your target audience is largely 15 year old girls, then you probably have commercial priorities elsewhere.

Continents, races, oceans, senses; all 19th century, easy-to-memorize lists for primary schoolchildren but completely unscientific.

You use baking soda + oil (or human fat, in case of Fight Club) to make soap.

Yo mama!

The point is, that it's the Diffie-Hellman which is going to be broken by quantum computing, presumably. So you might want to be careful with that 'impossible' - this is exactly what the article is about.

They swallow them, but they don't break them down, which means that when the cell dies (which it will), the material goes on a second journey and so on.

He lives in Amsterdam. He doesn't have to have income - he gets social security!

It only leaves the public key on the phone, and the private key on your computer (which presumably is in a safe environment), and encrypts the files one-way. You can't even review them on the phone itself. Needless to say, nobody understood what the app was for... so I pulled it.

And fix this bug - but they can't! They don't have an IP address!

The guy's going to have to give up all of his toys and he's never going to qualify for a gun license again in his lifetime, right?
