shogun Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I propose a system whereby people can submit their crackpot theories as to what the Big News is: the submissions can be timestamped and HMACed, then the whole {theory, HMAC, timestamp} package can be encrypted until the news breaks, then the whole thing decrypted and re-verified, so we know who was right, when, and be sure that the message had not been tampered with!

Sthitch Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I am split between my earlier guess: I think that after seeing the success of Tom Power's Corduroy at a dour, out of the way hotel, Michel Richard is packing-up from the Latham, and moving it to the Day's Inn in Lanham. and Ray's turns into a mini burger stand.

Kanishka Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Serious guess, though I doubt this is it: see this Craigslist ad. Munehiro Mori was at Asia Nora before heading to Wolfgang Puck's Chinois in Vegas. I guess the big news here would be "good restaraunt may actually be coming to Reston" Then again, I might be way behind on this news. Edited to add: I am an idiot. Should have done more research -- that restaurant in Reston opened in June. Edited August 16, 2005 by Kanishka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
