Charging stations have to compete with home charging. Gas stations don't.

and it will be useless for everything except one problem

AFAIK all supercomputers use Linux

Actually, they probably included a few big wrenches to assemble some of the rack systems, so they probably have the tools to break even 1024 bit encryption.

and you'll have thieves stealing expensive street lights

Apartment developers could install outside outlets. And Europeans can take the train if they want to travel.

On DOS, CTRL+break was used sometimes to attempt (usually futilely) to exit from a hung program. I think there's actually some difference between ctrl+c and ctrl+break, but in practice I don't think it amounts to much. For some reason, in Windows, they decided to use ctrl+alt+del to bring up the task manager. It used to reboot the computer. It would have been more consistent if they used ctrl-break for the task manager.

Scroll lock is somewhat useful in Excel to switch between cell movement and page movement. For some reason, Word hasn't adopted a similar feature for character movement versus page movement.
Hell, browsers could make excellent use of scroll lock to switch between caret movement and page movement.

Dude, I know how to math. 1024^80 is still much larger than the age of the universe in Planck times.

I could use $20. Hey, it's not stolen if I sell it myself, right?

I'd say cryptography is still secure if the time complexity is something like n^80.

Is this proven? Or is it one of those things that are assumed to be true (with good reason). I thought all of the time complexity classes are still essentially open questions.

Hasn't China become more free?

I was referring to H-2A, rather than H-1B.

We are better off with poor immigrants who come in and start businesses than poor guest workers who are barely more than slaves working on plantations.
