=====> WE WANT YOU TO KNOW MORE ABOUT GOLF BALLS <======= Lets Take Air For Example.... All of us know how tough it is to hit a good shot in windy conditions. We assume therefore that air is just another natural element we must out wit in order to score well. In reality, AIR is what makes it possible for us the hit the ball as far as we do. The SPIN we impart on a ball actually gives the ball lift, much like the wing on an aircraft imparts lift. This lift makes it possible for the ball to stay airborne longer, enabling it to travel further. In a vacuum, the average 250 yard drive would only travel about 180 yards. A winged aircraft would not fly. Air is your Friend....::)) Now here's one for you......Does a ball fly farther on a hot dry day or cold wet day??....How about a hot humid day or a cold dry day ?

BATF asked Kenneth Fadeley, a confidential informant, to assist its investigation by obtaining information about people attending an upcoming World Aryan Congress who might be engaged in illegal activities.[FN23] Thereafter, Fadeley portrayed himself as a weapons dealer who catered to motorcycle gangs and, in this role, managed to be introduced to high level members of the Aryan Nations in Northern Idaho.[FN24] In July, 1986, Fadeley attended the World Aryan Congress at Hayden Lake, Idaho. During this assembly, Fadeley was introduced to Weaver, who was at that time of no particular investigative significance to BATF.[FN25]" Weaver may have just been attending the World Aryan Nations Congress for the beer and chicks...

The classic reference is probably Voydock and Kent's "Security Mechanisms in High Level Network Protocols," from Computing Surveys in 1983. I think Stallings recently put together collection of paper reprints for IEEE Press that included this one. This paper is particularly nice since they present various streaming modes and then talk about the vulnerabilities associated with them. So it's not crypto algorithms so much as how to use them.

Yeah: fifty thousand dollars. Not that it makes the slightest difference. On the extropians list a number of very large bets were made and accepted, but nobody ever paid up. (Or very few -- I know of no cases.) When somebody proposes a bet that is substantially larger than the likely cost to his reputation if he weasels out, one can expect that, if he erred, he will not pay. Now if Unicorn had proposed a bet for one hundred dollars, then I would sit up and take notice. A hundred dollars is real money. Fifty thousand dollars is hot air, like one kid says, "I bet you I am right", and the other kid says "I bet you a zillion dollars you are wrong". If somebody proposes a bet that is larger than the likely reputation cost of weaseling, we should ignore the bet and subtract from the guys reputation as if he had already weaseled, since the events of the extropian list show that that is the most likely outcome. All of us have been wrong from time to time on matters where we were sure we were right. Anybody who was serious about paying would not make such ridiculous bets. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.
