(Cypherpunks added to the dist. list, against my better judgment.)
You can't find a reference in the library on why you can't build a machine that cracks DES by repeatedly trying the digitized sound tracks of porno films, either. Maybe you should try that -- who knows, it might work.
Perry, please do *not* reveal more about this method. You are "blowing" my new method. The soundtrack to "Debbie Does Fort Meade" is apparently the "back door" to DES.
Oh, god. Neural networks have been invoked. As we know, neural networks are magical. They are always the answer. After all, we have a huge number of complex mathematical proofs out there that have been solved with neural nets -- why, the Reiman Hypothesis was recently proved by one, wasn't it? Or was that the exact measurement of Dan Quayle's IQ -- its so easy to confuse them.
Riemann's Extenuating Continuation Hypothesis was actually proved with "fractal analysis" and "genetic programming" techniques, both of which are much more trendy than outdated charlatanism like "neural nets" (Intel just cancelled its Ni10000 neural net chip, presumably to more into fuzzy logic and quantum disambiguation...can aptical foddering be the Next Big Thing?). --Tim May -- ..........................................................................
