Yes, but in this case there was no good explanation as to why it was marked as such for 500m years. Computers don't forget expiration dates, or time periods either, unless there is some kind of special case going on. And it also looks verily like in the uplift universe the Artificial Intelligences are (or should be, even if He doesn't think so) Millions if not Trillions of times smarter than the ET's. A handheld that can crack encryption in an hour, that for all intense purposes uses an unknown encryption method, with an unknown key length. There being an infinite number of possible encryption methods and an extremely large number of possible keys (with key length being a variable in the equation and key format being another variable). Indeed. Any such computer should be able to have complete mastery over its inferior ET users.* * http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Global/Singularity/ http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Global/Singularity/sing.html > At 11:08 AM 12/18/2001, you wrote: > > >Computers never forget. > > > > >??? > > > >Have you ever heard about The Blue Screen of Death? :-)
