Re: Encryption Cracking Talk.

Have people discussed this on CD? I haven't noticed it.

Reminds me of a joke:

An engineer goes in a motel. In the middle of the night, he wakes up and realize the curtain is on fire. He looks around and sees a flask of water in the corner. He picks it up and drops the water on the curtain, neutralizing the fire but creating a mess.

The next day, a physicist goes in the same motel. In the middle of the night, the physicist wakes up and realizes the curtain are on fire. The physicist looks around and sees a flask of water in the corner. He takes out a piece of paper and a pencil and start calculating what is the minimal amount of water he needs to extinguish the fire. He drops that amount on the fire, extinguishing the flames.

The next day, a mathematician goes in the same motel. In the middle of the night, the mathematician wakes up and realizes the curtain are on fire. The mathematician panics and looks around. The mathematician sees a flask of water in the corner. He then says : "Thank god, a solution exits!". He then goes back to bed.
