Hell yes! I grew up with that (In the UK), it was one of the first books I read (And series I watched) in the 80’s/90’s… introducing my daughter now to them.
12 Trials is still something I quote to my wife at times… “You are a wild boar, a wild boar” :D
Actually, MythBusters proved that one couldn’t happen, unless the bullets were sub-sonic or low-powered and the diver was within 1 or 2 foot of the surface… water’s just too dense and depletes the power. And something higher power just made a big splash and bits of shrapnel that didn’t have much penetrating power.
You mean 2267,709?
Funny… that’s a phone number I know.
There’s a lot of misinformation in this thread. Sure, they broke 22-bit RSA encryption. But here’s the thing - that’s proof that a suitably large quantum computer can break any size RSA encryption in the same amount of time it took to break 22-bit RSA encryption.
Because of the way the annealing process works, it’s a known-time process, no matter how many inputs or q-bits are used. We don’t have the ability to create a computer with sufficient q-bits to break anything more than 22-bit at the moment, but current estimates are that in 10 - 15 years we will have enough to break 1024-bit.
And it’ll take the same amount of time as this 22-bit process took.
And that basically means we need new encryption processes within 10-15 years, that are quantum safe, or all our encryption is belong to whoever has these quantum computers.
Aw, crapitalism will break because line cannot always go up.
Cry me a fucking river. Humanity is a cancer, and we need to be about half our current population. Yeah, we’re not gonna like it when we drop that population. Our kids, my daughter, are going to have it fucking tough. But if we want to survive long term… We gotta stop.
In one sentence, you say, “just use a password manager”, on the next, “not really an improvement if you need extra software”. I’m not sure what argument you’re having, but neither one really addresses what this article is about.
This keeps the passkeys in the password manager (I use dashlane, it rocks, and synchronises the passkeys just like the passwords), but this new protocol allows you to change and export the passkeys to other password managers, preventing vendor lock in and allowing for transfer to another password manager.
Hope this clarifies things! And everyone should use a password manager of some kind; we should expect whatever site we’re using to be hacked, and the only way to be safe is to have a unique password per site.
I’m guessing Ford and Slartibartfast will try and get in to this floating party, and it’ll hit Arthur in the small of the back somehow :D
Lol :-D I was referencing the comic, but… Heh, that’s amusing.

This will haunt you for years to come… It’s seriously creepy. Brilliant, and if you’re into that a masterpiece of it’s art…
But very, very creepy.
Hah, with you on that… I kind of like that the shield is directional, and if you’re facing the wrong way, suck it…
Yeah.
Been there… Last night, in fact. Sleep timer went off, quarter to eleven. Just took about an hour to download gow: ragnarok on pc, had half an hour playing. “Ok, just a few minutes…”
3am this morning… “Ok, I’m now impaired enough that I’m fucking fights up… Better go to bed.”
As “three dead trolls in a baggie” famously sung… “Every OS Sucks”.
As true today as when it was first penned.
With a PFY ready just outside the room with the improvised mega volt cables incase you get wise and try and bolt. And something happened to the lifts so the doors opened without the lifts being there…
Been there too
people wouldn’t have to masquerade as much behind legitimate business.
Yes, that’s the point - they’d BE a legitimate business anyway. Sadly, the concept of it being not so, is so ingrained in Western (American and British, at least) culture that even comments in support reveal an unconscious bias that’s hard to overcome.
ROCK AND STONE, BROTHER!
Translation added, roughly done. Tip: modern Android devices let you press and hold the switcher, which takes a screen shot of whatever is on screen. Then, you can press the translate button that appears to translate whatever is on screen. Works with the camera too - easier than firing up Google lens or whatever.
Of course, you need all the Google gubbins to do it, but if you’ve got that it’s really powerful.
Roughly translated:
We exorcise you, every unclean spirit, every satanic power. Every infernal invasion of adversity, every diabolical assembly and sect. Therefore, curse the dragon, make your church safe to serve you in freedom. We ask you. Listen to us.
It is a bit different to say, “HP changed their recipe” versus “some dumb ass redistributor changed HP’s award winning recipe and suffered the consequences” :-D
Either way, I’m glad to get the original. Nothing better with some sausages or bacon…
Genie vs Jafar… you can tell by the colour ;)
