Blasphemy! Go wash your mouth out with soap.

What you're trying to say is, of course, the BBC game Elite. Just because it has been ported to a dozen or more (inferior ;) systems doesn't mean it originated on any of them.

By cooling the CCD you reduce the background "noise" the CCD picks-up and less noise means a sharper image.

CMOS webcams, though they suffer problems in low light can also be pressed in to service on a telescope; they do quite a good job for shots of the moon!

Good sharp photos can also be obtained of the moon and bright planets just by holding a consumer digital camera to the eyepiece of a telescope!

One thing that your extra $$ get you on the higher-end cards is better analogue electronics, and better A-to-D converters. (OK, two things ;-)

Though I don't set much store by manufacturers' specifications (too many unknowns in the testing conditions, and too many opportunities to quote only the favourable measurements), it's worth noting the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of the analogue inputs. The theoretical maximum dynamic range of an A-to-D converter is 6dB per bit, so the maximum for a 24-bit input is 144dB. The analogue section of a cheap card might only have a dynamic range of 100dB, which would mean that the bottom 8 bits of your 24-bit samples would effectively be random noise.

Bear in mind that the mic inputs on most soundcards are fairly horrible, existing mainly for people who want to run NetMeeting or taunt their opponents in Unreal Tournament. If you don't already have something that can bring a microphone level signal up to line level, expect to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a decent preamp. You may see gadgets known as voice channels, which are mic preamps with one or sometimes two inputs, usually having a compressor and maybe some equalisation. A compressor is pretty much essential when you record digitally, because you get clipping (severe distortion) if your signal goes above maximum volume. A compressor keeps the signal below the maximum, while still allowing the loud bits to seem loud.

Something else to consider, if the audio specs appear to be similar or identical, is how many inputs you actually need. Will you be recording a band, or just yourself? If it's just you, you can probably get by with a single stereo input. If it's a band, you'll probably need an input for each instrument or singer, plus at least 3 for the drums (two overheads, plus one for the bass drum). Of course, you can record a band by plonking a stereo mic in front of them, or by routing their instruments into an analogue mixer that then goes into the soundcard, but you then greatly limit your options for mixing or overdubbing. And the cost of a separate mixer is probably comparable to the what you'd pay for the extra inputs on the soundcard. You could record each band member separately on one stereo input, but you then lose a lot of the chemistry and emotion that comes (should come) from their playing together as a band.

I suppose the most important question has to be: are you recording music for your own amusement, or because you want to get a record deal? If it's the former, just go with whatever sounds good to you, and sod what anyone else thinks. If it's the latter, it's got to sound as good as possible. Too many A&R people these days lack the musical know-how to imagine what a finished CD will sound like, having heard just a rough demo of it, so the closer to a releasable product your recordings sound, the better. (I think this is one reason the music industry is in such a mess at the moment, but that's the way it is...)

Blatant plug: you can hear "bedroom recordings" in RealAudio of four songs of mine here. I wouldn't hold them up as shining examples of songwriting, musicianship or audio engineering, but they should give you some idea of what's possible. There's a kit list at the bottom of the page, although the computer I used was a much lower spec than the one listed. The first song, Ambiguity, was recorded digitally, while the others were first recorded on four-track cassette and later transferred into the computer. Hope this helps.

Isaac Newton's Birthday is December 25th.
So it is a good thing for non-christians to celebrate that day, 8^)
(That was my good reason for buying an ice-cream cake last year)
I've also heard some folks suggest putting an apple on your christmas tree or hannakuh bush to honor Newton.
A Newton Birthday tribute I found online.

Linux users already have encrypted filesystems and secure file wipeing as standard in all(?) common distro's. (I know that SuSE even lets you overwite the wiped files with zeros to hide its very existance)

Scramdisk for Win9x & ME (free). For NT, 2K and XP you need the non-free Drivecrypt (same place). But if you just need to keep the kiddies out, the access control in NT/2K/XP should be sufficient.

If you're on a windows platform, you could try our product RIP Vinyl, which sells for $7 for the full version. I wrote it because the breaking up of tracks was just too tedious.

The program automatically breaks the tracks, and records to CD ready 16Bit stereo, 44.1Khz wav files. Just wire up your system to line-in and you're off. You can download a demo version and get more info from www.wieser.clara.net/ripvinyl

First of all, it's hard to post at all because Willow is on and it's hard to divert my attention.

Concerning Terminator 3, my griend Google me that Linda Hamilton will not be returning, Eddie Furlong will be playing John Conner, is titled Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, could possible star Chyna (WWF), will not be directed by James Cameron, up untill this past June there were talks that Ed Norton would be playing John Conner, and NoChickTrix will not be featured but is deffinatly worth checking out.

EVE Online is designed to be Elite of the 0's (can you say that?) Remember Elite? The classic from 32KB 4Mhz BBC computer. I spent countless nights playing that one.... Please make it feel like Elite...

For Windows: Get scramdisk.
For Linux: Unless your family can use a root disk, just make sure your files aren't world readable. You could also use encryped loopbacks if you are really worried.

Then you can look at Vandana Shiva's talk about free-market's assault on India: everything from the destruction of indigenous jobs by heavy subsidizing of imported soya oil to companies patenting and attempting to forbid Indian farmers to grow crops that the Indian farmers themselves had developed! Basmati, Neem: natural products developed in India, but patents were taken out on these things by U.S. companies. Ever heard the name Monsanto? Unless you try and take a closer look at what people in India are saying, you won't: you're not going to hear about this from U.S. media- or 'globalized' media, for that matter. When was the last time you heard the name Bhopal? And yet more people died at Bhopal than in the WTC terrorist attack- by now, more than twice as many. Bhopal was caused by intentional negligence motivated by a desire to cut costs and economize, the better to compete in the global market... to this day, the reaction of Union Carbide has been to hush it up, even to the point of refusing to specify the poisons involved, which would help medical relief efforts that are _still_ relevant... but saying what was in the poison gas would be bad PR and possibly lead to some form of liability, so silence is still kept...

Yes- do please take a closer look at these things. The more you look, the more you see- and it matters.

Elite used Fibonacci Numbers with a eight 6-byte seeds, plus a few dozen bytes of look-up tables, to achive this. The principle was very similar to MojoWorld's use of fractals, but Fibonacci series are considerably quicker to process, particularly on an early 80's home computer.

I'm the author of kpf.

It's not supposed to be a fully-fledged webserver. As the comment says, it's designed for sharing files (e.g. with people you are chatting to on IRC.) It just happens to speak HTTP, because firstly that makes it easy to grab files (kfmclient copy http://some.server/some.file file:/tmp/, or wget if you fancy) and the HTTP protocol is a lot simpler to implement than e.g. FTP.

Simplicity of implementation was a major factor in choosing a protocol because kpf must be secure. The less code, the easier to audit.

Note also that the 'real' web servers are not easy to monitor and control in realtime. Because kpf runs as a panel applet, you can watch the connections and the traffic, and even kill off connections if you don't like what they're doing.

You would be surprised how much traffic kpf can handle without threads, subprocesses, etc. - and running within the same process as kicker - all without slowing down kicker.

The home page is here if you'd like to take a look at the current version (which is for KDE 2.x)

I still run Elite on the Horizon BBC emulator (oops - that page is now dead)

Best application for StegCrypto I know of is Scramdisk - it only supports 16 bit WAV files (for now) but for ease of use it is unbeatable. the lower four bits of each sample are "formatted" to form a virtual disk drive (a bit like a floppy disk).
To open this virtual disk, you drag and drop the wav file on top of the scramdisk app (there are other ways, but that is the simplest) and type in your password. unless you know the password, the volume won't open, and if you examine the file you can't even prove the scramdisk is there (yes, the file's lower four bits will be statistically at random, but this is true of anything but a pure CD rip anyhow - sound cards just can't sample accurately enough to get a clean lower four bits) Scramdisk is free (with source) from www.scramdisk.clara.net

only among the people who own (heh heh heh) the original roms

Some authors have released their arcade and console software either as proprietary free(beer)ware or as free software. For instance, Elite for NES is free(beer), and GNOME vs. KDE is GPL'd.

Well I have been reading a few webpages and I follow BUGTRAQ and a pgp newsgroup, so I feel I qualify as a Slashdot Expert(tm).

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are talking about Email security. If you use windows, you want to use one of the PGPckt builds found at http://www.ipgpp.com These are pretty much the standard in the Windows PGP world, as commercial PGP has gone closed-source and GPG isnt perfect on windows. *nix/*BSD users should use GPG.

What you want to avoid with the recent PGP's and GPG is an interoperability problem. GPG doesnt ship with IDEA encryption, and that was the standard in PGP for years. It can be added easily, and I suggest you do that. If you do use GPG, please enable all of the PGP compatability options, or it will come back to bite you later. As for choice of algorithm, there is no reason not to use the RSA/IDEA combo that has been used with PGP for years, just boost up the length of your public key to 2048 or so. Oh, and dont bother going past 3000 or so, as that key would be harder to break that the 100(?) byte IDEA key that is actually used to encrypt the message.

As for computer security, there isn't much you can do asside from patching regularly, reading BUGTRAQ, choosing secure passwords, and never allowing unsecured logins. It also helps if you get to know your system and check up on anything that starts acting different that what you are used to.

Disk encryption under windows is best done by ScramDisk (found at http://www.scramdisk.clara.net), which is a disk encrypter that whose source code is available online. OpenBSD people should enable encrypted swap partitions, though that may be done by default, I dont know. Linux has several encrypted filesystems. Use One.

The table is based on rules sold on ebay from December 1999 to June 2000 inclusive.

If you do some background research into past musicians, you will find that NONE of them became rich and famous before they became a great musician.

Ah, but why did they choose to become great musicians, rather than great burger-flippers or great supermarket shelf-stackers? There are probably many reasons, but I expect you'll find that the prospect of being rewarded with fame and riches figures fairly large among them.

If you remove the "riches" part of it, by telling musicians "most of the money we spend on your CDs goes to greedy bastards who add nothing to your music, so we'll just take it and pay nothing to anybody, thank you very much", I rather think that will reduce the amount of good music that's written and recorded. Even people whose product is "nothing but" ones and zeroes have to pay the bills somehow.

There was a time, about 8 BN [1], when I wanted to be a professional musician myself. (Some of my recordings are available in RealAudio format here.) My heart wasn't really in it, but what eventually made me decide against it was that the odds are heavily stacked against any newcomer who wants a record deal. Looking for a deal is practically a full-time job, except that it doesn't pay. For some reason, I have this irrational aversion to working for no money...

There are (at least) three extremely good packages available for performing seamless, convenient, on-the-fly encryption of your hard drives. I can't believe they are stupid enough to not only neglect to use one, but also to propose an unreliable physical 'bomb' to destroy the drive! C'mon!

Scramdisk, E4M, and PGPDisk all create 'virtual' mounted disks on your system, which act just as any normal disk. When you boot up, you run the software, 'mount' the virtual disk (it's a large file on your hard drive), and voila. You have a fully high-strength encrypted volume to use just like you would any other disk. Very, very easy. You can even install your apps there if you want.

The data itself is encrypted on the fly, and stored on fully encrypted form on the disk. Therefore, if the volume was unmounted (say, by rebooting), the data is totally unaccessible. If you just rely on your computer to kick into password-protected 'sleep' mode, or use a password-protected screen saver, you're pretty well covered - the only way you can really get by these things is by rebooting - which unmounts the encrypted disk. Abracadabra.

Everyone in business who travels with a laptop should be using software like this. Scramdisk is, in fact, free (Win98/ME, $20 for NT/2k), and open source! I believe E4M is free, as well (not sure about the source).

Take a look:

Scramdisk
E4M
PGP

Why this stuff isn't more universally used by laptop-travelers, especially government-secret or business-secret toters, is absolutely baffling. Hell, it's even easier to use than public-key encryption.

Hey - I'm involved with Scramdisk - I'm not going to help you ;)))

Interesting story - you may like to look at my PGP DH vs PGP RSA FAQ.

To quote the FAQ:

8.2. Get the threat in perspective!

The NSA (probably!) aren't specifically interested in you. They aren't going to break into your house to install bugs, or monitor your screen from a block away. They will however collect all of your messages sent over public networks.

PGP protects you from one form of monitoring - Echelon or other passive network sniffing. When your messages are captured by this global monitoring system, along with millions of other messages a day, the NSA can possibly decide to try and decode your message.

The most significant threat to PGP comes from user sloppiness. It is far easier to install a keylogger on your computer, install a trojan version of PGP, or bruteforce your passphrase than to break any of the cryptographic mechanisms employed by PGP.

If you are seriously worried about Intelligence Agencies actively monitoring you, then the last thing you should be worried about is them cryptographically attacking your PGP crypto implementation!

I'm currently working on a new version, and the ToDo list is here.

With the large number of blackhats likely to be in the population of those pissed-off about the way things have been going, I'm surprised that the RIAA and its major members still have intact web prescence. Not that I'm advocating or condoning civil disobedience as a means of political action. Oh, and I'm also surprised to see that the MPAA site is up.

(I'm a relatively new Linux user and probably speak from a largely Windows background).

This FAQ looks a very good start....Writing a FAQ is extremely time consuming (I know, I've written the PGP DH vs PGP RSA FAQ) and this FAQ is a good foundation to build upon. It largely follows the content of the (also excellent....) book Maximum Linux Security by Anon.

Anyway, I'd like the FAQ to be expanded with:

1. GPG and PGP details
2. Details of 'On-The-Fly' disk encryption schemes (EFS, BestCrypt etc)
3. Implementing automatic 'wipe-on-delete'
4. Swapfile encryption
5. Free-space wiping
6. IPSec

Ian Bell's Elite Pages

There's a good afternoon nostalgia there.

Havn't they ever watched Herbert West's Re-animator?

As for emulation, the old Sinclair Spectrum is perfectly legally emulable: Amstrad (holder of they copyright of the ROM) said basically "go ahead and use it, so long as you don't do it commercially". There is hope out there for retro games.

Anyone who appreciates such gestures should voice their support. Send mail thanking Ian Bell, and check out his web site. Do the same for Jeff Minter by following the links above. And hunt down these guys' circa-1980-hot-shot-game-programmer peers, show some love and relive the old days of 8-bit.


If you're not wasted, the day is.

Scramdisk is currently being ported from Windows 95/98/ME & NT/W2k to Linux (by myself and AJ). This will allow the creation of a "virtual container" that can contain any filesystem - including filesystems that implement journaling.

I am leaving my local encryption until the imminent release of Scramdisk for linux - that way I will be able to open the *same* encrypted data under Win9x too. Currently, I can only really do that with PGP....
--

Does this mean massive international man-hunts for the infamous "Carlos the Hacker"?

Best encrypt with ScramDisk (Windows 95/98 version here) locally, and with GnuPG for transmission, all your CueCat code and use anonymous remailers for version releases to Freenet, or be prepared to live out your life in a shadowy realm of underground coders dwelling in the hidden spaces between the giants of the United Corporations of the World.

It's not like campus police don't have anything better to do. How many rapes and muggings are there in a year?

And yes because some money-hungry corporation gets a law passed then the already-thin police budgets now have to spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on a professional forensic analysis of some student's hard drive.

Is this what the founding fathers had in mind when they penned "no unreasonable search and seizure"? You know he won't see that hardware returned until it is no longer worth its weight in scrap metal.

What if some company passes a law that not tying your shoelaces is a crime? Are the police gonna start prosecuting that one?

This seems like a breakdown in separation of powers. How many blue laws are still on the books but wholly ignored by the police? Laws about sodomy come to mind, or spitting on the Sabbath. Sure, the legislative branch handed us this piece of crap we call the DMCA, but I blame the executive brance for becoming a private army at the beck and call of corporations. If I was a police chief and some company called to complain about a kid sharing music...I'd tell them to take a number and where to stick it.

Feh. Just my two cents.

Still, makes you want to go install Scram Disk as soon as possible.

I'm going to direct this at Mr. Simpson as he seems to be greatly involved in this discussion. I've been involved with PGP for years - I have no official involvement with NAI. More than happy to answer questions though:

In your opinion what is a good possible solution for this?

Apart from not introducing this devils-work "feature" in the first place? ;)

Seriously, there may not be a nice answer. Erm, the first thing to do would be check every keyserver and let people know that they have ADKs. Secondly, release future versions with "Encrypt to ADK" off by default. Thirdly, change the protcol so that ADKs are part of the signed/hashed packet.

Is NAI likely to release a patch?

Probably. May be easier to fix v7 and offer free upgrades to this version for existing customers. This would allow you to easily identify users who are still using versions that are "vulnerable". I doubt they'll do this though - that would cut revenue :(

What about a new version which does not include the ADK feature? I can also see how this might be a desired feature for corporations who want to use the ADK's for thier intended use. Is it likely NAI would release a kludge in a vain attempt to keep this feature in the code?

Yes, they'll probably keep this feature. I think the last couple of bugs (including the v5 randomness bug) have done a lot of damage to PGP's reputation, which is very sad.

What is your opinion of NAI and do you think they'll do the "right" thing?

I have a lot of respect for Phil and Will Price. But this is a financial decision, we'll see. If they don't do the right thing, then I'll be sure to broadcast it from the rooftops!

Obviously with the growing popularity or PKI this can be seen as a good thing or a bad thing. Good in the fact that it exposes an inherent flaw in public key cryptography and might make some people seriously think about the implications of a public key infrastructure.

It's not a problem with public key crypto though, it'ts just an awful implementation!

Bad in the fact that a widely used version of PGP has a potentialy serious hole in it. I wonder how long the NSA has known about this one.

Should be fairly easy to see if someone has exploited the bug - just check all keys on the keyserver.

I suppose I had better update my PGP FAQ now!

Uk's population past present and future

The eventually population dearth in the future is predicting that the amount of mostly elective abortions will increase (which is ghastly) and the amount of people using contraceptives will increase (which is a personal choice).

I keep on reading that most of western Europe's population at the moment is in what is known as population death where 2 couples produce ~2.1 children. Is there any question that Europe has more incentive for the colonization of space?

Hey,

That's an interesting question. My mersonal favourite algorithm is IDEA, because it's reasonably fast, secure and it has a good acronym. If you're writing your own program, I suggest a look at the Scramdisk webpage. They have a nice bit about algorithms and choosing between them.

If you're presenting the question as an irrelevent question, like one might ask 'What does the scroll lock button do?' I'd say most programmers center thier choices on

1) If it's ever been broken.
2) What algorithms they know.
3) Key Length.
4) Speed.
5) Anything else.

Angorithm, however, is irrelevent in the big picture. The majority of effective attacks use things like buffer overflows and reverse engineering, not brute-force attacks, just like the easiest way of hacking is bribing employees. Well, that or threatening them.

FINALLY!

I was beginning to despair of seeing any mention of the ABSOLUTE BEST of all anime' -- the Patlabor duet of films.

In order, my favorite anime' would be:

• Patlabor-1 : The Babylon Project [10/10] : The best anime film ever. Hyper-realistic believable near-future high-tech mystery-thriller.
• Patlabor-2 [10/10] : One femto-meter from being the best anime film ever. Hyper-realistic believable near-future high-tech mystery-thriller.
• Armitage III: The Polymatrix [9/10] : Explores transhumanist evolution on a terraformed future Mars.
• Gho st in the Shell [8/10] : Considered the "definitive" exploration of what defines one's humanity.
• Battle Angel : Gunnm [7/10] : Dystopian cyberpunk drama.
• Appleseed [7/10] : Strange dystopian future with hopeful ending.
• Dragonball Z [6/10] : Fun filled kung-foo fighting!

Um, Moore did... ;-)

(Then again, IMNSHO think "Moore's Law" is load of crap arrived at by massaging reality to fit one's beliefs. The current popular version seems ammount to "Intel's flagship line doubles in benchmark performance about every 18 months", which I must admit doesn't impress me that much, assuming even it is true.)

"There are a couple things that are not clear to me here..."

At least one of the PGP FAQ's mentions this (this may not be the freshest link), an includes links to relevant papers. I couldn't care less about whether it's true or not, so I haven't bothered to follow up.

Why You Should Use Encryption

Note that while, yes, encryption is processor expensive, I suspect the work to decode all the JPEG images on a "content rich" website is probably a lot greater than the work required to encrypt and decrypt all those images for transmission.

The beauty of today's modern processors is that there is really no problem with just running encrypting everything. If the BIOS would support decrypting the OS as it boots, most of us would have no objection to encrypting pretty much everything on our disks, maybe even including the virtual memory. Really.

My 450 MHz pentium III laptop has no problem playing MPEG movies off a PGPDisk encrypted volume that is stored either on NTFS or FAT (where the encrypted volume is either NTFS or FAT itself - and you know FAT's not a fast filesystem).

Where the performance issues really count is for the servers and for those you'd certainly want hardware encryption. I'd be happy to donate a couple hundred bucks to Slashdot if it went toward implementing an SSL encrypted slashdot server, wouldn't you?

Clients have no problem with encryption in software. PGPDisk you have to pay for but I believe there is filesystem encryption for Windows PCs that is free. Let's see... ScramDisk, lots of good links at Yahoo 's encryption software page

I remember seeing an australian partition encryption utility there, I recall it implemented an australian government encryption standard as well as the more common ones, but I don't see it anymore.

And of course there's the linux encrypting kernel.

No, there's no reason not to encrypt. I think the main obstacle isn't export controls - it's user interface. Encryption is hard to learn. Compare using an encryption tool to, say, downloading an image from your new digital camera via USB on Windows or Mac. It should be really easy or no one will use it.

Mike

Interestingly, someone reverse engineered this game to create their own version. Rather than suing them, complaining etc., he (Ian Bell) compliments them on the achievement, and includes the resulting game on his site.

Finally, he links to a couple of emulators. Makes a refreshing change, dontcha think?

Oh well... here it is.
