>>A team of European researchers, working with a researcher from the University of California, Irvine,

Dear /.

Europe isn't a country. The Inria isn't a European research institution, it's only a French institution.

Best regards

ununseptium: un un sept ium, literal translation from French give you: one one seven ium

Centdixseptium and Hundertsiebzehnium have my vote.

If i remember correctly it's a bubble chamber in the garden of the building n3 ( visitor entrance, exposition, etc. ). The LHC module ( the blue tube ) was shoot in front of the "innovation and science globe" "Le Globe de la Science et de l'Innovation".

It's not the good screwdriver ! It's a torx screw and you are using a crosshead screwdriver. Good lord are use using imperial unit too ?

The early name of the project was "milimail" with a particularly stupid logo ( some kind of orange Q-bert ).
After two years of dev they think it was a bit too intimidating and inappropriate for a more wide use. So they changed the name to Trustedbird.

1) the 40bit limitation in the 90's was never enforced
2) The 128bit nether
3) The use of any length of key if totally legal since 2004 ( LCEN law ), only the import and export are regulated over 128bit.
4) If you don't export military grade radio communication equipment you are totally out of focus of the actual legislation.
5) The DCSSI give general allowance to the import and export of open source software, so you are free to export GPG and openSSL from France to Cuba ( i'm not sure you have the right to do this from the US for example )

Alright so when the sub routine compounds the interest is uses all these extra decimal places that just get rounded off. So we simplified the whole thing, we rounded them all down, drop the remainder into an account we opened.

The military reasons are not so clear, both GPS and Galileo are operated by NATO members, they even reached a compromise, that Galileo was to use a different frequency. So you can jam one without degrading your own military signal in the pretty improbable case of a war where both side don't agrees to block they civilian signal.

The first version of the project with a Galileo signal on exactly the same frequency of the GPS to prevent discriminated jamming had a real military interest ( if you jam my signal you jam your too, we both end blind ).

They will not switch off the GPS signal, they will switch it to encrypted US military device only signal.
