It would be nice to follow that progress. It requires molecular precision if it is to work on anything interesting: Cracking 1024 bit keys is a long way down the road. Long, long, before quantum computers crack 1024 bit keys, many technological changes will radically and fundamentally change human existence. Quantum computers have many potentials far more imminent and exciting than breaking PGP keys. (Not that they are all that imminent.) Long, long, before quantum computers crack 1024 bit keys, quantum cryptography will become useful and routine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

Dr. Jai Maharaj
by Trevor Goodchild 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

It is quite humorous to see that our beloved list is so populated by these so called doctors. For a while we have had a Doctor Grubor, previously, a Doctor Vulis, and now we are blessed by this Doctor. Will the tentacles of Vulis never cease blessing us? (Strangely enough I didn't think Vulis was into Indian metaphysics. "Dr. Jai Maharaj" has an extensive page on the topic. Aparently this creature professes to be an astrologer. I wonder if the rumours that our beloved drs are pedophiles and are involved in a child trafficking ring. Supposedly, Dr. Grubor flies small boys between the ages of two and six between Dr. Vulis's residence in New York, and Dr. Maharaj's residence in Hawaii. All three are known cocksuckers of course. The hidden protected areas of his web site which my Breen agents have infiltrated show that Dr. Majaras uses the anal juices of his child victims to predict the future... Scum like this cannot be tolerated. It also shows much colaboration between the three. I strongly suggest we "boy"cott this dastardly threesome. --- Trevor Goodchild

Indeed, many think it is immoral not to >protect children. Yes, yes...one man's morality is another's immorality. Each of them thinks of himself as "being in the right" and sees the others as wrong or even "evil" (witness the anti-BoyLover zealotry). Different subjects but the same bullshit. See the futility of it yet, Jamie? If parents find pornography objectionable for their children, then they must take ultimate responsibility to keep pornography away from their kids. If they are not willing to do this, then they should not have had the children in the first place. It's up to them to take care of their kids.

Re: Rep. White introduces Internet Protection Act

Declan writes: > This is important. After all, the FCC's charter gives > it jurisdiction over all electronic communications -- ^^^^^^^^^^ > though the commission has opted not to exercise its > authority in cyberspace. Here's a fun little thought experiment: Considering the hairsplitting that takes place everyday in courtrooms these days, an arguement could be made that since virtually the entire net these days is optical fiber, there are no 'electronic' communications taking place. Does the FCC charter mention photonic communications as well? At what point does the charter allow them to interfere? Here's some steps on the way... * A mime, 'working' outdoors in daylight. The communication is entirely by photons, and the light source is non-electronic. (I know that many people would like to see mimes suppressed for the good of humanity, but bear with me). * A mime, working by electric light. Does the fact that electricity is involved in creating the light make the communication 'electronic'? I don't think so. (IANAL) It (the mime) is certainly modulating the (electronically generated) light, just as an optical transducer does. * A mime, illuminated by an electric light, and viewed through a fiberscope. There's certainly no new 'electronic' components introduced at this step, so sending modulated, electronically generated, photonic messages through an optical fiber would not seem to constitute an 'electronic' communication. * A mime performing inside a sealed box, illuminated by electric light and viewed through a fiberscope. Once again, no new 'electronic' components have been added. * The mime, finally realising that the box is airtight and unopenable (I told you to bear with me :-), signals for help by sending Morse code down the fiberscope with a flashlight. The other end of the fiberscope enters a similar box, where another mime flashes back "Great 'walking against the wind' technique, but I can't help - my box is sealed too." Is this an electronic communication? This is getting pretty close to the situation of two computers connected by fiber optics - the communication mode is even digital. The boxes are silent, consume electric power, and communicate via optical fiber. I don't think the FCC's jurisdiction extends inside the boxes, where all the 'electronic' portions of the system reside. Just some idle speculation... Peter Trei trei(a)process.com
