RE: Montgolfiering, the Hot Air Balloon of Cryptography

My IQ is not 207 either, but at least I know satire when I see it. (Perhaps it says something that Mr. Wood is difficult to parody without some folks missing the joke!)

My IQ is not 207 but I know BS when I see it. Too much bravado without substance. Too much hot air without mass. You claim that thermodynamics is about hot air. Anyone with a basic course in physics knows that thermodynamics is not just about hot air. Present the algorithm and it's proof if you want someone to listen or stop wasting everyones time with your rantings. Pat At 10:17 PM 10/29/96 +0100, nobody@replay.com (Anonymous), wrote:

Montgolfiering. What is it, you ask? It is demonstrably a new paradigm in the evolution of homo sapiens (Parry Messger excepted) toward Shannon's dream of a one-time pad needing only a single, easily memorizable number as a seed. [...remaining hilarity removed...]
