  1. Re:No problem, there ar Open Source apps. on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Wait a minute... on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 4, Insightful

    On each login session, Skype generates a session key from 192 random bits. The session key is encrypted with the hard-coded login server's 1536-bit RSA key to form an encrypted session key. Skype also generates a 1024-bit private/public RSA key pair. An MD5 hash of a concatenation of the user name, constant string ("\nSkyper\n") and password is used as a shared secret with the login server. The plain session key is hashed into a 256-bit AES key that is used to encrypt the session's public RSA key and the shared secret. The encrypted session key and the AES encrypted value are sent to the login server.

    I would love if they broke all of those. Nevermind that the entire Skype protocol is decentralized already, which is a security risk already because you get random packets from random people using Skype.

    I write essays on paper. Then I type it up. The reason I do this is to make sure I read it over twice, very carefully. And also because I can jot notes everywhere.

  5. Re:Join us next time... on Professor Layton and the Curious Twitter Accounts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Fan created work is like free advertisement!

    Nobody would have ever heard of the game mostly if not for word of mouth. The touch of fame for even a fake Layton posting on Twitter would give loads of FREE advertisement to the game.

    Everyone wins.

    TRADEMARK. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, CEASE AND DESIST. Everyone now loses. Nintedo is looked upon as a tyrant. The game will now have a negative connotation, of proprietary and locked down. The end.

    This story can be replaced with Chrono Trigger, and many other fan based games that got the axe because of this. I can't think of much off of the top of my head. (No Sonichu doesn't count).
