 Go with what you know will work, and try a little less if you are feeling brave. That is my rule of thumb. - sanddrag [more] |

Re: 2011 Encrypted manuals are out.
If anyone was lucky enough, or had enough computing power to crack it, I hope that they would have the maturity not to read it.
The code is essentially 3.8*10^38 permutations, and the fastest single computer can perform 10^15 floating point operations per second (FLOPS). By comparison, a Core i7 is about 12 gigaflops. Correct me if im wrong, but I believe that the math is [(3.8*10^38)/(10^15)] Which ends up with 3.8 × 10^23 seconds. 1.2049721 × 10^16 years. Thats quite a long time. Unless, of course, someone gets lucky. I feel like I did the math wrong, though. Someone kindly correct me.
