Dog, The light coating of snow here in southern New Jersey was not a big problem. The gusts of wind along with the 20 degree temperature made our run challenging. Bubbles the dalmation was glad to get back home (me too)! Now let's see what cpq is up to. Oh, by the way, you've got to love the action in psql. They are wild about it on the Yahoo zoo thread.

rudedog is this just a security issue, or a security and computing speed issue? NW Major Worldwide Mathematical Breakthrough Meganet Corporation Developed Fast 100% Deterministic Prime Number Testing It is the Only Deterministic Algorithm in the World to Work in Polynomial Time. TARZANA, Calif., Dec. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Meganet Corporation, who challenged Microsoft, Intel, Dell, AT&T, NCR and many other high tech companies with their unbreakable Virtual Matrix Encryption, have announced today the result of 13 years of Research & Development in the prime number testing area -- the world's first and only POLYNOMIAL TIME, 100% DETERMINISTIC PRIMALITY TESTING. It is NOT a probabilistic test like the other algorithms in the market, but 100% deterministic. The algorithm is in POLYNOMIAL TIME, therefore much faster than even the probabilistic algorithms. Meganet Corporation have implemented the algorithm in an ANSI C application running on a single CPU 450 MHz PC Computer. Some sample results: 1,000 bits primality test -- 0.5 Sec 2,000 bits primality test -- 1 Sec 3,000 bits primality test -- 3 Sec 4,000 bits primality test -- 8 Sec 5,000 bits primality test -- 15 Sec 6,000 bits primality test -- 26 Sec 7,000 bits primality test -- 41 Sec 8,000 bits primality test -- 1:01 Min 9,000 bits primality test -- 1:27 Min 10,000 bits primality test -- 1:58 Min Those results are unheard of. The 1,000 bits test on a Sparc II workstation takes 5 Minutes and it is still only PROBABILISTIC. The gap in time is much greater for larger bit sizes. The major breakthrough is solving a 400 year old mathematical problem -- how to positively identify a prime number without spending exponential time in dividing the number by all the primes up to its root. The solution Meganet Corporation have developed is based on a newly designed Mathematical Sequence called the T-Sequence. Once a number is transformed to the T-Sequence, its quadratic residue has definitive characteristics if it's a prime number that can be easily determined in polynomial time by performing a binary decomposition. Meganet Corporation would like to emphasize that there is a 100% mathematical proof behind their T-Sequence, and further, it is a complete working product tested successfully on over 1.3 million numbers without a single mistake. Meganet Corporation is seeking for companies interested in this algorithm which generates large industrial grade prime numbers at record speeds, and would be glad to demonstrate the technology to any interested party on request. This latest development further establishes the status of Meganet Corporation as a leader in the Data Security & Encryption field. Meganet Corporation is the developer of Virtual Matrix Encryption, which is the strongest available encryption product in the market, including the PROVEN unbreakable Virtual Matrix Algorithm and a 1 MILLION BIT SYMMETRIC KEY. The retail product is sold nationwide for over 8 months now, and the ongoing $1,200,000.00 challenge to break VME is at it's 8th month with no challenger. The challenges emphasizes Meganet Corporation's confidence that VME is an unbreakable algorithm.
