Since when this thread is about people's happiness and well-being? Also 'not impressive' and 'not happy' are not mutually exclusive. My comment is mostly based on the leaked specs which boasts 128 shader processors (?) et al. as well as the benchmark. We do not know how much transistor budget...
<< PGP uses (i should say used to the last time i checked) IDEA for encryption, RSA for key management and MD5 for hashing.
RSA math:
find two random large prime numbers p and q.
compute n = pq
find encryption key e, such that e and (p-1)(q-1) are relatively prime.
using the extended...
Go here and personalize a message that will be sent with a vermont teddy bear to all those that gave their lives in the rescue effort last week.
Thanks go to vermont teddy bear for these donations.

If the PGP encryption method is based on RSA but simply with larger numbers to be factored, then it is just about impossible to crack, except perhaps the brute force method (that involves testing every frigging number). I think they came up with a new method that simplies factoring, but even...
There's something I have to say about the US. Doesn't everyone think we give plenty as it is? Everytime there's a crisis in the world. Who helps? THE US! That's right. Earthquake, war, emergency situations - whose emergency crew responds and goes to help out? The US!
Yet, people complain that...
<< We try to do as much as we can, but there is only so much that can be done.
I disagree. We have the most influence to promote mediation in so many circles but we too often do what we can to take the side that promotes our own self-interest. I love the country too much to watch all the bs...
Novon: That is all nice and good, but as you yourself state, morality is constantly changing. By this fact, there can NEVER be a absolute RIGHT by your definition.
It is totally naive to believe that the world will always do the right thing, and that it will be wholly aknowledged by everyone...
Noone is perfect, not even the United States. There seems to be some wild fantasy within your minds that the US should have a flawless foreign policy, one that appeases all countries. That is simply impossible. We try to do as much as we can, but there is only so much that can be done...
Yes, the key that is trying to be pointed out here is that hopefully these deterrants will NOT be used, but the fact that they are in place will
make terrorists think twice about hijacking a plane.
Think of it this way, if you're a terrorist and you know there isn't access to the cockpit, will...
One key factor in the idea of a bolted cockpit door, is not that it allows the passengers to be killed, but it prevents terrorists from utilizing planes, and perhaps end most hijackings.
If the US and other countries release a statement that the cockpit will NEVER be open ever on a flight...
I'm not saying the US is the epitomy of goodwill and perfectness. I actually agree that a calm reasoned resolve must be taken, one that brings about an intelligent diplomacy as well as significant progress. Of course, the perpetrators of this act MUST be brought to justice, that can not be...
How could this be real? The only question I have though, is that it takes a credit card and not the usual money order or cash BS. So some credit cards like AMEX blue can be used for safety... what's going on here?!
