New Ultimate Security Measures (joke)

    I just had this great idea for really, really tight security after discussing Vista's often difficult to configure/use user permissions procedures in a thread in the software forum here:

    "Before the ADAMANTINE OS will permit the operation you have initiated to run, please provide your valid solutions for 1) the Riemann Hypothesis and 2) the Goldbach Conjecture. If you are not sure what these are, we suggest you use a search engine. If you are, indeed, able to complete these two requirements you will then be asked to input a valid demonstration of Fermat's Last Theorem. Yes, we realize that, unlike the first two problems above, Fermat's Last Theorem has actually been proven. However, the proof is so long and complicated we anticipate that by the time you have finished entering it, our latest and greatest new version of the ADAMANTINE OS will be on the market and, as a security measure we will have required you to upgrade will have pulled the support plug on this version!"

    [and in fine print at the bottom of the screen if and when the user meets the first two requirements.....]

    "Since, in proving the Riemann Hypothesis and the Goldberg Conjecture, you have undoubtedly gained some additional insight into the distribution of prime numbers, and since prime numbers are often used in encryption schemes, we have reported you to the FBI, CIA, NSA and the Office of Homeland Security as a possible security risk. And all your rights to use our ADAMANTINE OS software are herewith declared to be null and void. Have a nice day!"
