i’m not the aussie “ buffoon ,” but you answered my question . thanx .
i have another question . if you said george bush would win the elections before it happened, can you show proof you did this ?
if so, i wonder =how= you did it . does a “ god ” tell you, like in words, or mental pictures ? i believe in the super natural, but how any body can just “ state ” the future like it already happend ? that seems scary to me .
seriously curious,

I wouldn't get too panicked just yet. Each additional bit roughly doubles
the factoring time, so a 641 bit key would be 10 months, 642 = 20 months,
643 = 40 months... 1024 = something like 1.00E+120 months (a guesstimate,
check the math).
I suppose it's all about how long you want your data to be safe. There's
no such thing as a "forever" cypher unless you consider the OTP, but
they're impractical in most real life applications. So every common
encryption scheme is a compromise. For real time communications like Tor
where information generally looses value quickly, a "buffer" of a few
million years is more than sufficient for now I'd say. ;)
Not that it doesn't bear watching mind you. Computing power can double in
a year, and costs per calculation can drop dramatically. It's always good
to be aware of the state of things, but it's important not to shift into
"sky is falling" mode every time someone makes another step forward. It
just means things are evolving as expected. No surprises. It's assumed
that keys of a given size will become less secure over time, and any
anomaly in that time line would be a red flag. Even if the anomaly were
larger keys *not* being factored. Worst case scenario, such a thing might
indicate a flaw in the methods we use to factor, and make all previous
results invalid... place us in a state where we have no *clue* about the
security of our encryption algorithms. :(

This is the most boring "flood" I've ever seen in terms of creativity.
Drop it or get with the program.
