^ LOL I find it hilarious that somebody is seriously talking about launching a "Silk Road Satellite" into orbit.

normally that would sound hilarious and insane, but think about the money that was made due to that site!

I considered using the site before, but I just felt it was too sketchy.

Guess I was right

EDIT: Another thought, Y'all don't think this is gonna affect online RC sales do ya? I know it's a stretch, but the online drug community is getting a lot of attention lately.

Yeah I watched like 2 minutes of it and had to turn it off.  It was probably the most boring thing I've ever watched.

If we built a Dyson sphere around the sun and captured all its energy for 32 years, without any loss, we could power a computer to count up to 2¹⁹². Of course, it wouldn’t have the energy left over to perform any useful calculations with this computer. But that’s just one star, and a measly one at that. A typical supernova releases something like 10⁵¹ ergs. If all of this energy could be channelled into a single orgy of computation, a 219-bit counter could be cycled through all of its states. These numbers have nothing to do with the technology of the devices; they are the maximums that thermodynamics will allow. And they strongly imply that brute-force attacks against 256-bit keys will be infeasible until computers are built from something other than matter and occupy something other than space.

It wouldn't necessarily have to be brute forced though, maybe they stored the key on a yahoo mail account or something.
