And what data structure do you have lying around at encryption time that's as long as the plaintext?
That's right, the plaintext. Use that as your one time pad. It saves you the headache of generating high-quality randomness if you just XOR the plaintext with itself.
The resulting ciphertext is not only theoretically unbreakable without the key, it is also highly compressible for economical transmission.
The do retire. Think big picture for a minute?
I am. I believe in annullment of non fruitful unions. Fuck who you like, cohabitate as you like, but make marriage about nurturing families has ALWAYS been my position. I came to this position when my tasks as a life insurance agent/financial planner led me to help rich DINKs pay less taxes using marriage laws, and felt strongly enough about it to change careers.
My position may not be to your liking, but it is still based on logical long term social best interests as I see them, and not extremism or prejudice.
Having a system that supports the creation and nurturing of the next generation of mankind is in the long term best interests of homosexuals just as much as anyone else. Corrupting it into something purely based on decadent sex is not wise. For anyone.
Ok fine. The proportions are off. So let's do some guesstimates based on the total energy. According to this http://www.geologyinmotion.com... the 2011 Japan tsumani had somewhere between 31 and 3100 KILOTONS of energy. That's equivalent to the energy in 1 to 100 Hiroshima nuclear bombs. So I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out how to power a line of giant squirt guns that deliver the equivalent of between 1-100 Hiroshima nuclear bombs of energy as a directed stream of water.
While you're at it, I think the military might be interested in your nuclear water cannon.
Why don't you try a mythbusters style experiment? Scale everything down. To simulate the tsunami wave, you will go to the beach and find a nice 4 foot wave. To simulate your massive high pressure water pump you will use a squirt gun. Use one of those "monster cannon" squirt guns. Wait for wave. Aim squirt gun. Fire. Record how you totally dissipated the wave's evergy, or not. I'm sure Japan is eager to see your results.
The Berlin wall was not built to keep people on the outside.
And that is why it failed...
Hmmm.
Maybe we need to automate the legal system. We could use to reduce the number of lawyers by several orders of magnitude.

I would first confirm that the visitor is actually a Jehovah's Witness before shooting him.
Elite doesn't mean anything without context. You've determined that playing well with others is the context, so, those who do play well with others are elite, and the rest crap.
You're incapable of creating an inclusive community. They require acceptance of all.
He wasn't a genius, he was a figurehead for a popular opinion of the time.
Understanding that is key to preventing a repeat. For reasons that made sense to them, they chose him because he said "Let's get those fuckers" and they reacted eagerly.
