    Saw this on Nova recently, and it is very interesting if you don't fully understand computer encryption techniques.

    The show also goes on to explain how it would take thousands of years to break current encryption standards using today's computers, but scientists are working on a processor that uses quantum physics that could theoretically break the code in much less time.

    You can watch online here...

    I'll need a hard copy James. I'm not allowed to view the video due to Rights Restrictions. Neil.

    Thanks Arie. That is mind boggling to the Home PC user. Neil.

    My apologies, Neil.

    A charger I ordered for a broken laptop came in recently, and I have spent the past few days reinstalling Windows 7. What kind of rights restrictions are you talking about? Something to do with you not being in the USA?

    Thanks for the heads up, Arie. :)
