Troll harder.

Erm... pounds aren't a weight measure.

I suspect Phobos will be fucked earlier: it is expected to collide with Mars or break up into a disk in about 50-100 million years.

"...involuntary dilation of the... iris?"

A billion is a million million for everyone but a few misguided individuals ;-)

Thanks to both for your answers. It seems I misread this article about the limits of quantum computing.

AFAIK, quantum computing algorithms are only able to square root the complexity. IOW, since the best factorisation algorithms are exponential, you only need to double the key length to stay safe agains quantum computers.

I repeat: as far as I know. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Which is why you can:

</path/to/file sed -e 's/what/ever/g ; s/foo/bar/g'

Of course, pasting a link is such a hard task... I can't understand who ever thought hypertext would ever be useful.

Fixed that for you. Since you can't be 100% safe, safety is not an excuse for whole sale spying.

I think you are wrong. In Europe, for example, a software algorithm is only patentable as part of a physical method and only as far as that physical method is concerned. So you can patent an algorithm that imitates a servomechanism to keep a motor from stalling but that patent only applies to the physical system it is embedded in. I can freely use the same algorithm to, say, control the pressure of a boiler, if it is appliable.

That is, unless I have misread or forgot something.

Are all video games banal? Are any banal video games socially positive?

"... there is a whole world of socially positive and banal applications for drones that are yet to be discovered."

I find it a bit difficult to understand that something banal is socially positive. Then again, maybe I am just not too social.
