This v1.0 beta release uses RSA (key based) and Blowfish encryption for security, and features Instant Messanging and group chat, along with file browsing, searching, and transfer.

    I think you'll notice the grandparent has less than ten posts. It's a shill account for trolling.

    Because people moderate that sort of post without bothering to check to see if it's accurate or correct?

    Besides, posts are frequently moderated up, then back down again as other people realise that they're not as good as people initially thought...

    Moderators that don't know what "bignum" is and how it's realated to WASTE shouldn't mod informative comments "offtopic".

  7. off-topic mod by Steve+Cowan · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm browsing with a few mod points, and while I never touched that comment, I would have metamodded an off-topic mod as 'fair' on it because...

    It *LOOKS* like it's off topic. It's a fact of life on /. - as mods we try to make things easier to read by weeding out the crap. To those of us who don't recognize the reference(excuuuuuuuuuuuse me) it looks like crap... the 'n' side of s/n.

    Advice: if you post an obscure reference you run the risk of being modded down unless you explain yourself. Accept it, it's a fact of life. A quality post of this nature should provide at least subtle clues that it is relevant. It's just a product of the self-moderating slashdot society.

    Try browsing flat at -1 and see the crap that gets modded 'off topic' and 'troll'.

    Just noticed this in the connection negotiation. 26. A sends B the constant 16 byte signature ("MUGWHUMPJISMSYN2") Is this a subtle reference to the fact that this program provides secure communication (Mugwhump Jism)? Do I need to use a Clark Nova to write the reports on? Are NullSoft out sourcing there development work to Interzone? Me I`m just off to do the old William Tell Routine. Sorry for the abstraction in this post I've just given up smoking. Having tried the will power method, and patches. I'm using Bug powder dust.
