Slashdot Mirror

Oh, please. At least link to the right page.

>Anyone who gets compared to Shatner has
>something to worry about.

And how:

http://www.khaaan.com/

William Shatner has released this official statement in regards to Paramount's dismissal of his show concept:
"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"

What an odd remark... I have no idea what you mean ;-)

buried alive

Just found this: An endless loop of Shatner shouting you-know-what.

Just open it up in a separate window and let it play in the background all day long.

Not as scary as KHAAAN!!!!!!

I hate to say it, but the best thing Lucas could do would be to turn the whole Star Wars universe over to some decent science fiction writers and film directors, then stand back.

ZHAAAN!

(Sorry, vze3try7, stole your joke. By the way, I think you got the fields backwards when you signed onto Slashdot. "vze3try7" goes in the password slot, and CaptainPicard or something goes in the account name.)

CANNES!!!!

Given the direct TWOK quote in the article, I think that this would be a better movie reference than 2001/2010.

Naw.. real nerds Khan.

Here, let this man elucidate.

Dude, if you had put in a link you would have gotten modded up to +5. You were *so* close.

Don't you mean KHAAAN!?

OK, now I really know you have no idea what you're talking about. Lets get one thing straight, PGP is not an encryption algorithm, its an encryption suite.

Last time I checked it was open source. The PGP implementation is used elsewhere than the encryption suite. Look it up sometime.

I must admit I assumed you were a total dumb ass on a random flame rampage... so I kept the language as simple as possible. After all you entered into the convo without knowing zip offered encryption. This is why your geek license has been revoked.

You say I can use winzip to encrypt a file? That's great because winZip used AES (a symetric algorithm). You'll still need to communicate the key to the reciever in which case you're in the same boat as using PGP.

This was my point in the first place! Because what both you and I are talking about is a very weak system of secuirty designed to not a 3rd party observer from seeing paterns but allowing random end users to get the password. There has to be some means of the downloader to get the bloody passphrase. So why go with an application few people have and go with something everyone is likely to have.

Both systems will have the flaw of creating duplicate files that are identical.

You offered no valid reason why to go PGP over ZIP, or RAR, or even ARJ in this case. Since you admit freely that AES is the way to go. With all due respect you are all over the map.

You could simply MSN the key or even have the key as the name of the file.

The way paranoid groups do it is list the passcode on a webpage secure webpage. Not everyone has an MSN passport but they do have web browsers.

You sir, are a tard. And I can't believe I've wasted my time slamming you.

I can't believe you did either. You must really have nothing better to do. You clearly are a very little man who feels they must slam others to gain some sense of self worth (oh yea welcome to slashdot). I at least am waiting for paint to dry. You misread "zip it, encrypt it" as zip it and then encrypt it (using pgp). Your based your rant on an invalid assumption and took what I said... rephrased and added acronyms... and shot it out as a very poor slam... conceded my point that zip would be perfectly acceptable... and failed to insult me properly.

I can not be held accountable for the fact that you have never heard Phish - Reba circa 1992. It's not like all Phish fans are luddites... but clearly where are none on slashdot.

With all due respect... go put on your pleather jacket and Khan your self some more. Your ego is big enough but your self esteem is lacking. Enzyte might help with that little problem.

Encrypting something with PGP requires no protocol. Encrypting something with PGP *is* performed at the *file* level and I can share encrypted files on KaZaA *today* if I wanted to.

Great, use PGP. PGP requires a public and private key. This would be nice, but pointless unless you had a method of telling the host to use a specific private key. Otherwise you have to give out both the private and public key. If this is what you want to do feel free. Needlessly complex for a very weak security measure but go on with your bad self.

You seemed to lack any understanding of the features in archive applications... most support encryption already and don't require PGP. I.e. you can zip with encryption.

Ideal would be to implement PGP on the protocal layer rather than the file layer. This way you don't end up with tons of the same bloody file all encrypted in different ways. Unless you want the ability to resume from fewer people.

You made a dumb assumption. You brought up PGP without any forethought to how it would be deployed. You were unaware of the features offered in the software. Your geek status is revoked. You are now poor dirt farmer from Iowa who resembles William Shatner.

And I quote, "Open Sesame!"

KHAAAN! KHAAAN! Khaaan!

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaan!!!

Don't you mean

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaan!!! Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaan!!!

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

In case anyone was wondering, that's apparently a Genghis Khan quote.

Which means of course that I have to link to this.

Shatner attacks are scary indeed.

Remember? Khan?

Remember? How could I forget? Khan!

Aw man, so you've got this wimpy server that serves something you like and you decided to post it to slashdot knowing it'll go down and just taunt all us who may wish to use it.

Makes me want to use my best shatner voice and shout "Khaaaan!"

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo! KHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be cool if some mutant monster thing got created that quickly multiplied, took over the whole planet, and enslaved us all.

Hell, we're seven years overdue for that!

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there are probably reasons outside of these films, that people consider Trek fans to be ...freakish.

My commendations on creating havoc. This pathetic discussion forum will now have four more years to gripe!

Perhaps you would like to check out the fine wares and warez at Villain Supply to further your future evil needs? If you've got the cash, we've got the evil! [TM]

But this is the best part, this is when they... START RAPPING! Bwahahaha. "It's The Ledged Of Zelda and it's really rad. Those creatures from Gondorf are pretty bad." That is just a snippet from the rhyming prodigy's in this commercial. I don't really know what Nintendo was thinking when they thought up the idea for portraying their customers as hopeless dorks, but this is by far my favorite Nintendo commercial.

This is why I setup a stand alone wifi network that when ever war-drivers discover my "wireless network" everything they visit gets redirected to goatse. The result, I've observed is usually a loud exclamation followed by the sound of screeching tires and burnt rubber.

Next i'll observe when I secretly host a wifi network near starbucks and replace everything with a small mirror of www.khaaan.com.

Khaaan!

Yeah, you wouldn't want to upset him by telling him his flight to the Cannes Film Festival has been redirected.
