RIM/Blackberry purchased Certicom. So they have all the Certicom patents on elliptic curve encryption.

But now the NSA leaks have led people to believe that the NSA may have broken ECC. So the value of all those patents just went to $0 since if no one is going to trust ECC to be secure, no one is going to use it. Another own goal.

They tried, but it certainly didn't stick.

The USA has spent it's history thinking that the enemy was

1) The British
2) The native Americans

Lots more international fibre might be a good thing rather that treating the US as a passive hub.

>We try to find answers to the Universe through those models, we don't make the Universe exist because we built a model.

You make more universe exist all the time as you make choices that drive entropy ever upwards.

So it's still code as buggery down there?

So it's like DOS running on a VM. Yay!

I guess you need to stop buying things with chips in it then.
