I like the colorful language and all, but what does this actually mean for a car?

Stockpiling isn't hard at all. It's the easiest solution. Just probably not the one whoever wrote this law had in mind.

Thanks, that already makes way more sense to me than the article.

So they managed to invert a hash function and this somehow break AES?
Do they mean the key schedule? I don't remember AES using any hash function. Anyway, their solution is quantum key distribution.
How does key distribution solve the problem of the encryption algorithm being broken?
Or do they mean they didn't break AES at all, but the key distribution currently used for AES?

That already has to happen anyway. The only way a unix time stamp can be converted to current time is by checking a database to see how many seconds to add. Not just adding 37 seconds. Depending on the year you have to add a different amount. Anyway, this can all be handled by libraries. I really don't see the big advantage of being able to subtract to unix time stamps and not get the correct answer (the current situation) vs getting the correct answer. You need library functions to do the conversion from unix time to current time anyway.

Hard to tell if you were joking or not, but just in case you weren't, I was using hardly with the meaning of "not at all".

Same back to you. He is completely correct, they are just measuring high and low interference. Hardly WiFi.

Maybe actually read the paper and you will find out he is quite correct:
> As shown in Section V, the electromagnetic emissions generated by the data bus are around the 2.4 GHz frequency range and overlap the Wi-Fi channels. In Wi-Fi transceiver chips, the baseband processor handles the radio, PHY and MAC layers.The Internet, transport, and application layers are processed by the software protocol stack, usually in the kernel drivers. In order to measure the interference generated, the attacker has to access the low-level radio measurement information from the PHY layer. This can be done by compromising the firmware of the Wi-Fi chips and passing the required radio measurements to the software stack
So no WiFi signals were generated. They are using the PHY to measure interference in the WiFi spectrum, and this interference is then decoded. Using your definition a microwave emits WiFi signals.

I think that would fall under my "pre-ordering gives you access to the game in its current state" clause.
Unless I misunderstood you.

Yeah, English is not my first language.
Also I googled "adjectival status of nouns" and only found references to Japanese.
I found some examples for English, but only where using an adjective as a noun, which wasn't the case in the sentence in question as far as I can tell.
Also, I speak what I consider to be television English. I do speak a pidgin as second language. Not sure it rises to the level of creole.

My only exception would be if pre-ordering gives a significant discount or pre-ordering gives you access to the game in its current state, meaning the major gameplay mechanics are pretty much in place.
