gollark: Shor's algorithm? Yes. HOWEVER, there are algorithms designed to not be attacked by quantum stuff, yes.
gollark: Public key crypto stuff?
gollark: Guess what? We can already basically do that with cryptographic primitives, but people use them wrong and the rest of the systems are terrible.

Hero of Hurlingham turned out to be Hesketh Hughes, a Welshman who learned his polo in the Argentine and looks like Golfer Gene Sarazen. A scrimmaging, scuffling, head-on player, with no finesse but prodigious determination, Hughes kept bunting shots past Winston Guest, who played at back as though he thought his opposing No. 1 were not worth bothering with. When, in the fourth chukker, chunky little Hughes poked the ball between the posts three times, England was only a goal behind.
