Category: IRAN Posted Apr 5, 2006 10:10 AM PST Category: COMPUTERS/SECURITY A word of caution for those of you planning to share some really nasty secrets using this method. Code breaking is a task that requires two parts. First, the method has to be discovered. That's the hard part. Once the method is known, finding an individual key for a specific message is pretty much a brute force task, easy to accomplish if one owns a building full of supercomputers. The problem with all these public standard encryption systems is that their methods are already known to those people who want to peek into your life and steal your business secrets (i.e. the US Governmen
t). Whether DES, PGP, or zPhone, the hard part of the task of reading your private
traffic is already done. The NSA knows HOW your message is encoded. All they have to do is find the key for the particular message. The attempt is predicated on false presumptions; one is strategic. U.S. officials wrongly assume that the Islamic Republic of Iran is vulnerable to collapse or overthrow, paving the way for a smooth transition to and subsequent consolidation of secular democracy. The administration's most dubious assumption, however, concerns the tactic through which these objectives are to be achieved.

would then rival Abu Ghraib?s devastating impact on America?s good name.

The neo-con informant told the correspondent that there is ?absolutely no way? Bush will accommodate to an Iranian nuke or two, the way he blinked first with North Korea.

Posted Apr 5, 2006 08:56 AM PSTCategory: SCIENCE/HEALTH Illegal Immigration & Wage Suppression The biggest problem created by uncontrolled illegal immigration is wage suppression. According to economics professor George Borjas, immigration reduces the av
erage annual earnings of U.S.-born men by an estimated $1,700, or roughly 4%. (See Yahoo
News story: Illegal Workers Have Mixed Impact.) If that reduction is applied to the roughly 135 million employed Americans, that reduces aggregate annual worker income by $230 billion, or $0.23 trillion. That's roughly 2% of our $12 trillion GDP. That's a loss in consumer spending of $230 billion (less taxes). Given that our entire GDP growth in 2005 was $384 billion, this is a significant amount. Considering that consumer spending is approximately 70% of GDP, that makes the "growth" in consumer spending around $269 billion.

Estimated costs to put America's infrastructure back on its feet: $1.6 trillion. According to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, 75 percent of America's school buildings are "inadequate" to meet the needs of school children.

The data from which they drew that conclusion came largely from Israeli acad
