Not sure why you're being modded down - but you're right, airport security won't be "fixed" because most people are not aware that it is broken.

I'm Canadian, and airport security in Canada, while we still have the ludicrous liquid rules, is still considerably less asinine than it is in America (e.g. I get to keep my belt AND shoes on).

I had a chance to discuss this with my American coworkers last year (a bus full of them), and I was surprised that most vehemently defended the need for the "security". When I remarked that another 9/11 was more than remote, due to the fact that passengers can no longer be subdued by hijackers (knowing that certain death awaits), I felt as if the entire group was ready to lynch me.

Like it or not, these security measures make people feel safer, and as such there's not a chance in hell of them disappearing anytime soon.
Manual Directory Submission
Directory submission is vital for building links for any website. It helps drive traffic to the website through direct referrals. It also provides static links for the site thus improving the rankings on the search engine page indices.
I can't imagine Knuth would have approved this. It looks bad - the physical book looks great. It doesn't even use the Concrete Roman typeface he designed for the book.
First, the flaw in Keyczar didn't affect CCM (or CBC-MAC) or EAX (or OMAC).

Of course not -- keyczar doesn't implement CCM or EAX. But the fact that CCM and EAX are obscure shouldn't count as a point in their favour.

There's an obvious difference between the two sets: one consists of real attacks, the other of speculative attacks.

The Bernstein and Oskiv-Shamir-Tromer attacks were not at all speculative. They showed the concrete theft of a key.

If your point is valid, it shouldn't be hard for you to name one system in which CCM or EAX were "broken" --- and I'll give you any definition of broken you choose --- because of these papers.

I don't know of any systems which use CCM or EAX in software on general-purpose hardware -- but if you name me a system which uses OpenSSL's AES code circa early 2005 in EAX mode, I'll name you a system which was vulnerable to a timing side channel.

It's possible to renew a domain registration that you do not own. Barring hosting providers disappearing, then, you can do this right now... just spend the money.
No, you are doomed to flipping hamburgers. ;-)

Actually, you may have a better chance of success. A successful business needs a bunch of other skills other than engineering like fund raising, marketing, sales, contacts. One thing you must do is find a top-notch engineering partner that you trust. I have had to help a couple of startups that handed off development to a cheap overseas company and got back a subpar product delivered late.
That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how well it would work in practice. Maybe I'm weird, but I find that making things look nice (whether via improved formatting or the addition of pictures) helps to draw readers' attention, it doesn't actually help get any more information across.

Richard Marx Blasts Verdict And Apologizes to Jammie Thomas
There are proofs (by humans) that are too large for all but a rare few to check. Wiles' proof of "Fermat's Last Theorum" was 100 pages. Courtesy of Wikipedia:

"Because Wiles had incorporated the work of so many other specialists, it had been suggested in 1994 that only a small number of people were capable of fully understanding at that time all the details of what Wiles has done." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiles%27_proof_of_Fermat%27s_La...]

No one can argue that an unconfirmed computer proof is more trustworthy than an unconfirmed proof from a human.

Buffett laments that US economy has 'no bounce'
I think you're overlooking the real thrust of the situation. Wiles' proof was relatively lengthy and involved, but it can be examined and studied by humans in an extremely reasonable amount of time. It only took three days for Wiles to present his original proof. There aren't many people in the world who can understand it, and there are fewer who are knowledgeable enough to confirm its validity, but they exist.

Conversely, the proof described in the NYTimes article is of such length that no single mathematician could confirm its validity -- rather than deducing the non-existence of the object in question by a logical argument, it examined a huge number of possible cases. In that respect, it is far more similar to the proof of the four color map theorem. The issue is not so much whether or not we trust the computer's result, but moreso what it means for mathematics to proceed with results that we do not, in a traditional sense, understand.

My wife has used Ubuntu on her Dell laptop for over a year now (since Gutsy was released), and she can't figure out bittorrent on Mac, Windows, or Gnome, but using Nautilus for sftp doesn't phase her. I think the single biggest drop in user comfort occurs whenever one application launches another application. Other anecdotes come from finding computers in hospitals with bad Windows images. I load an Ubuntu CD and observe. Docs come in, and use Firefox. No, they can't get their specialized clinical apps, but they have no problem using the same app in a different OS. Similarly, they almost universally either use Macs or are acutely interested in making a Mac their next laptop (I heard once that 40% of docs use Mac).

I think the idea that everyone will use Linux is not so distant a reality as a lot of people think. I'm not in the IT industry. I'm a military doctor. People know about Linux, and they're intrigued. Now. Right now. And more are learning every day.
Really the only thing that could possibly kill you is the capacitors inside if you open up the power supply. I think those discharge fairly quickly in modern systems but I am not sure.

The outputs of the system are fairly innocuous because they are DC at a low enough voltage (max of 12VDC) to not seriously hurt you even if you touch both the positive and the negative of one of the connectors. Now if there was some sort of anomaly and the dc lines were carrying a waveform, then if the wave was a specific frequency to match your body's impedance it could actually affect you. This is kind of akin to a "hollywood" terrorist threat though as it would most likely not happen but if it did it would be tragic.

I said that could have happened. I have no idea if it did or not. It sounds possible to a lay person like me. Six months is a long time! Is the medical profession really so slow that that stuff can't happen within 180 days even for rich people who spare no expense? If you know the industry and say it's too slow to do that stuff in 6 months I'll believe you, but don't be too surprised that lay people don't already know it's like that. How long does an average medical test take if a team works on it as a top priority?

Tally ho, Colin! Looking forward to what you find; I'm sure I'll learn something. If Bernstein's attack was really that relevant to real-world cryptosystems, I'm sure you'll come back with something fun.
Cray 1S? Isn't that about the power of today's desk top? The Cray could do 160 to 250 MFLOPS depending on the problem (Wikipedia). That seems pretty slow. I answered my own question http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=94721. There are processors doing up to 60 GFLOPS. Must be an error in the story.

Totally agree... I know many people who pay for music but not movies.
It isn't about more information, but a different presentation of the same to help those with different learning styles.
Well, the proof is perfectly valid, as on some abstract level a computer == Turing machine == something you can reason about. If you can prove that your program works in the required way, then your proof holds.

However, brute force solutions are ugly and shed little (if any) new light on the problem, and in the words of G.H.Hardy - "There is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics". With things like this I just can't help but think that an elegant and enlightening proof will unexpectedly pop up some time in the distant future when we're all off researching some sort of new-age hypermaths or something...

it is in the best interest of larger, more established players to lock you in by using proprietary, patent protected, and/or complex APIs. Smaller players, on the other hand, want to grow, often by undercutting the larger players on cost (the entire market here is priced massively above the costs I see, so just about anyone with a few servers can come in and be 1/2 to 1/4th market price.) In that case, the smaller players desperately want it to be easy to move from one provider to another.

The current situation is that only complex APIs exist.

The problem is that the smaller players often don't have the resources to deal with a more complex API.

I think what we need is a 'simplest thing that could possibly work' API that is easy for good SysAdmins (who may not be good programmers) to integrate into their own system.

But then, I haven't really played much with Eucalyptus. maybe I am wrong about it being too complex. I should throw up a server with Eucalyptus and see what happens.

OK. Could all the steps other than waiting for a liver be done within, say, a month?

What is the wait time for a liver transplant? I googled and it says it varies a lot by chance and also how sick the patient is. Would Steve have gotten a liver transplant quickly due to the severity of his illness, or are lots of people worse?

"The board need not disclose the specifics of Steve's medical condition, but it MUST disclose if, at any point, his health prevents him from performing his duties as demarcated by his employment contract."

I think the fact that he took a much-publicized medical leave of absence covers that. What more, precisely, were you expecting?

"The key thing is that Steve personally made the more detailed announcement--not Apple. The board only disclosed the 6 month medical leave and it's highly likley that no official board minutes will offer written record of these health discussions beyond the press release. This gives the board legally plausible, but weak, deniability regarding the details of Steve's health."

Flip side: the board likely is legally forbidden from disclosing details, due to medical privacy laws (only the patient can decide when, how, for what purposes and to whom private medical information is disclosed).
A non-engineer can join an engineer to start a tech company. But need to know enough to be able to understand what co-founder is doing in engineering.

It's rare a pure tech company to have been started by a non-engineer especially something big like Google.
I don't think that the health of the CEO is the important issue for disclosure. The main issue is the fact or prospective that Apple will fail/falter if Steve Jobs is no longer capable of being CEO.

This is a multi-billion dollar organization. It is the responsibility of the organization to ensure they are not single threaded.

What if he was hit by a car crossing the road while texting on his iPhone? What about a plane crash? Sudden heart attach? or any other horrible accident?

Steve Jobs is obviously a one in a billion (6 people on the planet like him) type of person, but still. If there is one thing that Steve Jobs should do in this chapter of his career is to take that Steve Jobs magic and find, mold, develop his replacement and market the hell out of them.
That's a poor metaphor, because turbulence is an environmental condition. Of course saying there's turbulence when the plane is no longer stable is a lie.

There was that book about the two friends, where the one friend pokes a beehive with a stick and the bees swarm him and it turns out he was allergic to bees and then he dies and I think his mom brings the other kid a pie or maybe it's the other way around.

Either way, we read that in 4th grade. We never had to read Terebithia, although my son likes that story. I won't let him read the bee book.
I wrote a greylist server ( http://www.x-grey.com/ ) and I arbitrarily capped emails at 108 characters. In testing, I collected 565,012 tuples (IP address, sender address, recpient address)---the longest in that testing corpus was 107 characters (15), the average length was 24.24 characters and the median was 23 (just checked now). Capping at 108 meant I could store two addresses, plus a IPv6 address, plus some timestamps in 256 bytes of memory (one feature of my greylist implementation---everything is stored in memory).

Over the year and a half it's been running, I have seen a few addresses exceed the 108 character limit (which isn't fatal as I do store such addresses, only the first 108 characters) and by few I mean "less than 1% of 1%". Bumping the record size to store a full 254 bytes (or is it characters? There is a difference) would double the memory consumption of the program for very little gain in return (but at least I have numbers to back up my position).
The Internet Archive perhaps?

Is this a joke? I honestly can't tell, because of all the following:

- Mobile Safari already supports local storage

- Mobile Safari already supports geolocation: http://geekswithblogs.net/MobileLOB/archive/2009/06/19/getti...

- Mobile Safari also already has other portions of HTML 5 implemented, such as canvas, not to mention really good coverage of css 3.

So as it turns out shipping Mobile Safari already has much better HTML 5 support than many desktop browsers. You may be able to fault iPhone and Mobile Safari a lot of things, but standards support is certainly not one of them.

Naked links? There's certainly context. A particular sort of site was asked for; a link was provided, the front page of which said exactly why the link was being offered.

If it had been something a bit more informative (if you'd mentioned YC along with some other stuff), then you're fleshing out the link, but if the only detail you're mentioning is YC you're not offering much. There are a lot of YCombinator companies I love, and there are a handful that I think are dreadful, and so being told it's a YC company doesn't guarantee me of anything other than that you'll be voted higher.

This is actually a much simpler and more logical way of doing things than the Windows way, especially for a new user. The Windows way is far more complex, requires more learning to understand, and more things to remember. You just don't think of these things as extra steps because they've become so ingrained and you don't realize you're behavior is actually quite complex.

The only problem I found was Lord of The Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird in 6th grade because we were in an advanced english class, not really the best books for a younger audience.

On the other hand I read the Rye in 9th grade and found it to be a very interesting and relatable book and even though it is not the best book for a young audience there is not much of a difference when you have reached high school.
