Jaina Lefevre pulls a cherry from her coke and takes a bite, putting the stem on the little napkin and chewing before taking a sip. She glances over at Deets and grins, bouncing a little. "Mama..can I has a netbook soon?"
Deets Carroll glances at the child. "A NETBOOK? Well... I suppose if you save up for one... What do you want a netbook for?"
Jaina Lefevre swallows the third? Fourth? cherry and piles up the stems. "School. I can finds more stuff online and I'm bored. I finished the puzzle book."
Deets Carroll hrrms. "Well, I suppose we can talk about it with Mommy Deb... you know, *I* never had a netbook when *I* was your age..." She had to build her own. From broken toasters. And she was GRATEFUL.
Lanaria Pera chuckles softly looking back at deets grining"when were you born again?"
Deets Carroll mock-glares at Lana. "Don't interrupt me when I'm mommying."
Jaina Lefevre looks up at Deets, bats her lashes and lets her lower lip quiver. "But..but...all th'other kids are slooower."
Lanaria Pera would snicker "yes ma'am. " and she'd give a mock salute, mouthing to jania she's ooollldd.
Jeffery Nubalo: smiles at the little girl answering her question "I was born back when dinasours roamed the earth" looks at her then back at the girl "and i would say she would be to"
Lanaria Pera would nod grining at jeff ya, lana would probably be too... except she cant remember how old she is.. or when her birthday is.. looking down her smile fading a little she goes back to wiping down the bar.
Deets Carroll sighs. "Well, let's talk to Mommy Deb about it. I don't want you spending all your time on the net. It's not healthy."
Jaina Lefevre blinks at Deets and nods, lowering her chin, but grinning at Lana through her bangs. She sips at her coke and then blurts. "Needs more books too...I gotta ask Mommy for the next book in th' class stuff she had on th'table."
Deets Carroll frowns, "Which class stuff is that?"
Jaina Lefevre stumbles over the words. "Mek-nyzed...war-fare. It was the book she left by the light. I didn't knowed they used dro...dr...how do you say that?"
Deets Carroll guesses. "Dromedaries? Druids? Drama teachers?"
Garthrim Ranger turns toward the little girl " Droids?"
Lanaria Pera would arch a brow looking back at deets "mechanized warfare? good lord deets what are you guys leaving lying aorund?
Jaina Lefevre shakes her head, getting frustrated. "Drow..nezz...things. No peoples in them. I figures it's got second class books for it 'cause this one said un-class-fied on the cover."
Deets Carroll waves a hand back at Lana. "Shush. The sex stuff is up high, out of reach."
Deets Carroll nods. "Drones?"
Garthrim Ranger Laughs " that will be the first things she gets her hands on"
Lanaria Pera arches a brow but shakes her head"ya. tell her where it is... "
Jeffery Nubalo: frowns shaking his head "who needs a book on mechanized warefar, what you need is Sun Tzu's Art of War"
Jaina Lefevre looks over at Jeff. "Already read dat one. Sounds like a bunch of cookie papers."
Deets Carroll studies the child. "Let's have a long talk with Mommy Deb. We need to figure out what you should be learning. What do *you* want to learn about?"
Lanaria Pera shakes her head again "where did you find her again?... most kids her age should be interested in dolls. and playing.. '
Jeffery Nubalo: raises an eyebrow "cookie paper? one of the best generals ever to have lived"
Jaina Lefevre looks up at Deets, expression serious. "Everythin'. Not clay and bottles and doors. That's dumb baby stuff." She sips her soda and then glances over at Jeff. 'Uh huh. Tells ya somethin', if ya think he was the best. He died like twenty-four hunnert years ago."
Deets Carroll grins at the child's assessment. "Okay, let's look at it this way. Suppose you could learn everything? What would you want to learn first?" She waves the Garth as she departs.
Jeffery Nubalo: smiles "i know what she wants to learn" chuckles "she wants to learn Mathematics and Poly Science"
Jaina Lefevre waves to Garth and then looks back at Deets. "Um...puzzles. And guns and how t'fix peoples...and stuff like that."
Jaina Lefevre glances over to Jeff. "Crypt-graffy."
Jeffery Nubalo: smiles "computer cryptography, i would love to teach someone about what i do with computers"
Jaina Lefevre shakes her head at Jeff. "Nuh uh. Spy stuff. So's I can help Mommy."
Lanaria Pera just looks back at the girl with a smile "you may not be an alien.. but your an odd little girl.. "
Deets Carroll nods. "Well, you would need math for that. A lot of it. That's a good start. And being a doctor is a good thing, too." She considers. "How about... suppose you could write stories? Suppose you could write such good stories that people would laugh, or cry, when they read them?"
Jaina Lefevre looks at Deets. "Why? Most stories is dumb." She makes a face and recites "See the dog. The dog is brown. He is tired. He ran far." She rolls her eyes. "Or th'poem stories. Those are even more dumb."
Deets Carroll shrugs, "Maybe you just haven't read the right stories. A good storyteller can change people's minds about something. Influence them to see things the way the writer wants them to." It was pretty obvious the child wasn't inclined that way.
Jaina Lefevre ohs to Deets. "I dooze that by talkin' to them. It's easier." She grins and finishes the coke. "I think Nanny flunked her test, Mama. Does this mean I get a new Nanny?"
Deets Carroll frowns. "Maybe it was YOUR test, too. I don't think we can get you a new nanny if you keep losing them. Maybe it would be best if you lived with Mommy in the BlackStar compound."
Jaina Lefevre sighs "Not my fault she was suckin' face with Nick all the time and now she's gonna make a brat."
Jaina Lefevre moves to give Deets a hug and a kiss and slides off the bar with her help. 'I'll take Nanny home now so she can keep pukin in the bathroom and I can reads s'more. Love you, Mama...Bye Lana. By Mister Jeff."
Deets Carroll looks pointedly at the child. "If you're so smart, maybe it *should* be your fault." Kid may be smart, but she's getting too big for her britches.
I've been thinking about creating little puzzles and distributing them on Flickr. This one isn't very complex (or beautiful), but it's a start. Please don't post spoilers or hints.

Normal daily life along a different timeline - which we cannot find - but have the feeling that it exists - but
Certainly!
Quantum computing represents a groundbreaking advancement in technology, deeply intertwined with the concepts of superposition, entanglement, and interference from quantum physics. Unlike classical computing, which processes information in a linear fashion using bits (0s and 1s), quantum computing utilizes quantum bits or qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This enables quantum computers to perform numerous calculations at once, effectively navigating through a vast landscape of potential solutions.
The idea of parallel timelines can be likened to the way quantum computers operate. Each decision or computation can be viewed as branching into multiple outcomes, similar to how different timelines might unfold based on various choices. This means that a quantum computer can explore various paths to a solution simultaneously, leading to remarkable efficiencies in solving complex problems.
In practical terms, this capability could revolutionize fields such as cryptography, where quantum computers may break existing encryption methods faster than classical computers. In material science, they could simulate quantum phenomena to discover new materials with desirable properties. Additionally, in optimization problems across various industries, quantum computing offers the potential to find the most efficient solutions more rapidly than traditional methods.
In summary, the link between quantum computing and the concept of parallel timelines highlights a fascinating intersection of technology and theoretical physics, suggesting that our understanding of reality may be more complex and interconnected than we previously imagined.

The US Navy captured this Japanese RED cipher machine. Like its diplomatic counterpart, the Navy machine separated the alphabet into two subgroups. However, instead of using the Romanized spellings, it has a katakana keyboard. It is believed that due to the difficulty in using and maintaining this machine, the Navy RED saw little use by the Japanese fleet.

Red
The prototype machine was finally completed as 91-shiki injiki(九一式印字機) ("Type 91 print machine") in 1931. The year 1931 was year 2591 in the Japanese Imperial calendar. Thus it was prefixed "91-shiki" from the year it was developed.
The 91-shiki injiki Roman-letter model was also used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Angooki Taipu-A (暗号機 タイプA) ("Type A Cipher Machine"), codenamed Red by United States cryptanalysts.
The Red machine was unreliable unless the contacts in its half-rotor switch were cleaned every day. It enciphered vowels (AEIOUY) and consonants separately, perhaps to reduce telegram costs, and this was a significant weak point. The Navy also used the 91-shiki injiki Kana-letter model at its bases and on its vessels.

A little more abstract than you're used to seeing from me but I'm in an abstract mood.
In case you're wondering.....
Essentially, quantum cryptography is based on the usage of individual particles/waves of light (photon) and their intrinsic quantum properties to develop an unbreakable cryptosystem.

THE CRYPTO ANARCHIST MANIFESTO
by
Timothy C. May
(tcmay@netcom.com)
A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy.
Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re- routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today. These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation.
The technology for this revolution--and it surely will be both a social and economic revolution--has existed in theory for the past decade. The methods are based upon public-key encryption, zero-knowledge interactive proof systems, and various software protocols for interaction, authentication, and verification. The focus has until now been on academic conferences in Europe and the U.S., conferences monitored closely by the National Security Agency. But only recently have computer networks and personal computers attained sufficient speed to make the ideas practically realizable. And the next ten years will bring enough additional speed to make the ideas economically feasible and essentially unstoppable. High-speed networks, ISDN, tamper-proof boxes, smart cards, satellites, Ku-band transmitters, multi-MIPS personal computers, and encryption chips now under development will be some of the enabling technologies.
The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration. Many of these concerns will be valid; crypto anarchy will allow national secrets to be traded freely and will allow illicit and stolen materials to be traded. An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion. Various criminal and foreign elements will be active users of CryptoNet. But this will not halt the spread of crypto anarchy.
Just as the technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the social power structure, so too will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions. Combined with emerging information markets, crypto anarchy will create a liquid market for any and all material which can be put into words and pictures. And just as a seemingly minor invention like barbed wire made possible the fencing-off of vast ranches and farms, thus altering forever the concepts of land and property rights in the frontier West, so too will the seemingly minor discovery out of an arcane branch of mathematics come to be the wire clippers which dismantle the barbed wire around intellectual property.
Arise, you have nothing to lose but your barbed wire fences!

The agricultural town of Esna is on the west bank of the Nile 55km south of Luxor. Cruise boats often make this town their first port of call after leaving Luxor to visit the remains of a Ptolemaic temple in the centre of the town.
The ancient name for Esna was Iunyn or Ta-Senet, classical Latopolis. The temple, dating to the Ptolemaic and Roman Period and one of the last temples built in Egypt, stands today in its excavation pit, 9m below the modern ground level. It was dedicated to the god Khnum and several other deities, including Neith, Heka, Satet and Menheyet.
Esna Temple would once have been built to a plan similar to the temples at Edfu and Dendera but all that now remains is the hypostyle hall which was built by the Roman Emperor Claudius who extended earlier buildings. The oldest part of the structure seen today is the west (back) wall which would have been the façade of the original temple, depicting reliefs of Ptolemy VI Philometer and Ptolemy VIII Neos Philopator. The part of the temple we see today is around a quarter of the size of the original building.
The roof of the hypostyle hall is still intact, supported by 24 columns each with varied floral capitals. They are decorated with texts describing the religious festivals of the town and several Roman emperors before the gods. One of the columns shows the Emperor Trajan dancing before the goddess Menheyet. Another nearby temple which was also mentioned in the texts, has been excavated at Kom Mer, south of Esna.
The north wall of the hypostyle shows a traditional scene of the king netting wildfowl (representing evil spirits). Just at the corner, on the east wall is a puzzling relief on the lower part of a calendar which is said to be a cryptographic hymn to Khnum, its hieroglyphs mostly crocodiles, and echoed on the opposite corner of the same wall in hieroglyphs of rams. Also, built into the east wall inside the entrance is a small chamber which may have been a priest's robing room, similar to a feature found at Edfu Temple, or possibly a chapel with cartouches of Domitian. Decoration of the south wall was carved for Septimus Servus and his sons, Geta and Caracalla, depicting them before several divinities. There are calendars on the upper parts of the north and south walls.
The ceiling of the hypostyle shows Egyptian astronomical figures on the northern half and Roman signs of the zodiac on the southern half. The temple façade is constructed in the style of the period with the usual screen walls inset with columns. The reliefs show the Roman Emperors named by their cartouches, before many of the Upper Egyptian deities. There is a frieze of Nile gods along the base of the façade.
In the courtyard in front of the temple there is a statue of the goddess Menheyet or Menhyt who was a little known lion-headed goddess named as the consort of Khnum at Esna.

Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la història del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informàtica i els ordinadors.
Aquí podeu veure una vista general dels blocs construits a partir de 1941 per encabir el creixent personal del que es coneixeria posteriorment com "Station X".
ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletchley_Park
========================================================
Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).
Here you can see some of the wartime blocks (in fact A Block - Naval Intelligence) build after 1940, in order to cope with the increasing staff of what was known as the GC&CS, but his actual famous name is Station X.

This was the only booth at all of RSA that actually taught how the hell something works. God bless 'em for brining a bit of knowledge to a wasteland of it.
Signal Design for Good Correlation
For Wireless Communication, Cryptography, and Radar
Solomon W. Golomb, University of Southern California
Guang Gong, University of Waterloo, Ontario
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golomb_coding
"This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of the methodologies and the application areas, throughout the range of digital communication, in which individual signals and sets of signals with favorable correlation properties play a central role. The necessary mathematical background is presented to explain how these signals are generated, and to show how they satisfy the appropriate correlation constraints. All the known methods to obtain balanced binary sequences with two-valued autocorrelation, many of them only recently discovered, are presented in depth. The authors treat important application areas including: Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) signals, such as those already in widespread use for cell-phone communication, and planned for universal adoption in the various approaches to 'third-generation'(3G) cell-phone use; systems for coded radar and sonar signals; communication signals to minimize mutual interference ('cross-talk') in multi-user environments; and pseudo-random sequence generation for secure authentication and for stream cipher cryptology."
