FIRE UP THE VERNAM REACTORZ :: goodbye DH, RSA, DSA, ECC. you will be missed! The war in Iraq has lasted three days longer than US involvement in World War II. huslage: Sobering a bowl a day keeps the alzheimers away... coderman: <FDA> marijuana is not a drug. drugs are expensive and made by large phamaceutical companies who pay taxes and pay more in bribes to congress Spin Foam Models for Quantum Gravity coderman: i solved gauge invariance, discretization independence, and other 4-dimensional gravity simulation for extra credit on my AP Calc class using a modified Barrett-Crane model tied to a zeta function because I AM BRUCE SCHNEIER seti: proving that today's computers get shipped with way, way too fast video cards US SciFi station facing wave of murders and gun violence for cancelling Stargate SG-1. coderman: "... [there is] a rise in the murder rate across the United States that is raising questions about whether police are fighting terrorism at the expense of crime." Teen guilty of assault after penis stunt coderman: "A Waterloo teenager was sentenced to 60 days in custody yesterday after admitting in a Guelph court he tried to hit two other boys at a youth treatment centre in the face with his penis." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060817/ap_on_fe_st/gold_toothed_cat_6 est: "Sebastian's two gold teeth protruding from his furry face make him seem a little menacing, like a hip-hop star's guard-cat or a movie villain's pet." NSA moving some workers, operations to Denver area coderman: <nsa> denver is nicely located in the center of the nation for aggregating various internet and telco backbone taps across the country at large peering points Enhancing the Security of the McEliece Public-Key Cryptosystem coderman: some good tricks in here. in particular, the paranoid should consider McEliece keys as single use. Two Strange Deaths in European Wiretapping Scandal coderman: "European investigators are tracking the mysterious deaths of two security experts who had uncovered extensive spyware in their telecommunications firms." Topological Quantum Computation coderman: "The braiding and fusion of anyonic excitations in quantum Hall electron liquids and 2D-magnets are modeled by modular functors, opening a new possibility for the realization of quantum computers. The chief advantage of anyonic computation would be physical error correction: An error rate scaling like $e^{-\a\l}$, where $\l$ is a length scale, and $\alpha$ is some positive constant. In contrast, the $\q$presumptive" qu Will large quantum computers be built? If so, what will they do to the cryptographic landscape? coderman: the answer to the first question is: yes, commercially available within 2 years. Yeah, but how fast is our topological super conducting quantum computer? REAL FAST BITCHES! MWAHAHA coderman: "<dwave> we are NOT selling these computers. we are NOT doing anything but max clique. we are NOT talking about breaking the verisign root and posting to full-disclosure..." NASA discovers dark and normal matter forced apart pretender: very cool http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=92013 uid0: fuck off chump |
