Not true. The weakness in DES was known from the very beginning. It was a 64 bit cipher. That is why 3 des existed even at the time. We all knew it was flawed. What the nsa did do was choose the s box to be resilient to differential cryptanalysis, which was otherwise unknown.

That's what the gps is for. You use it as. Precision timing source. Millisecond accurate timing signals are pretty easy to create. This is actually a pretty practical idea, and the cost per streetlight could easily be under a couple dollars. Not free, but cheap.

Since when does $7m get you a large data center, more like a single rack...

Repost here as I accidentally posted as AC. One of the main problems with FireWire was that it required expensive cables due to the high quality cables needed to carry the bulk power. With this spec change and the data model for SS USB, have we now got a high tech FireWire-- with all of the disadvantages and none of the advantages (I.e. daisy chaining. Guarantees about latency etc).

Perhaps you can have the TB controller on the video card, you then have all you need, the video, and the PCIe. and Bingo.

Actually no-it was not, The analytical engine was to be powered by a steam engine.

Aurora actually works rather well, given that I am running a 5 year old machine.

he is not saying that it can solve NP problems, he is saying that things such as factorization that are not thought to be in P are definitely in BQP

Try any NP complete problem, this includes traveling salesman graph reduction and many others. lots and lots of problems.

Actually Microsoft has been told by the courts that they myst provide open API's.

CH3CH2COCH2CH3 is ethan-2-one

pst. it is Jurisdiction. Otherwise good argument

He is refering to the USB Mass Storage class, they implement an interface to write sectors using the "SCSI transparent command set" they do not implement any particular filesytem, That said they usually do come pre-formatted for fat 32. but use of fat is up to the user, I use ZFS on mine.

No it is obvious that she was expected to use IP over Avian Carriers RFC 1149 RFC 2549

they already try to do this, that is why osx86 exists.
