France Halts ‘Three Strikes’ IP-Address Collection After Data Leak
The French government’s “three strikes” approach to online copyright infringement relies on a private company that scans file sharing networks and gathers the IP addresses of alleged Gallic content pirates. But that company, TMG, suffered an embarrassing security breach last week, and the French government has “temporarily suspended” its acquisition of new TMG data while an investigation is underway..... |

That is an amazingly interesting article. These are the people working on the edge of the fringe of known science. I don't pretend to understand it , the the implications if they can get it to work are mind-boggling. Cheers

Very enlightening article. Way beyond my pay grade.  BTW Dataman, what are you up to these days?
In 1969 I took an oath to defend and protect the U S Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and Domestic. There was no expiration date.

Thanks SJ, nano & JP. Yes the concept is difficult to understand but such is the nature of Physics. Actually, D-Wave Systems, Inc has an operational machine and has sold two; one to NASA’s JPL and one to Lockheed Martin. There is a lot of buzz about whether or not it actually works.

If you want a very good book on what’s happing now in Physics, I HIGHLY recommend “The Trouble with Physics” by Lee Smolin. http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B003O5RZEM What am I up to? We are planning to take the RV and go “walk-about” this fall. We plan to answer the question as to whether or not she and I can stand to be together 24/7. (hahaha) As with any large project, each time I get one task done to get ready ... I add two more tasks to the list. I’ve not had much time to do very much crunching as of late.   EDIT: The photo of the machine is a bit misleading. It is about 15 feet tall. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Dataman at Jun 2, 2011 5:21:47 PM] |
