RC5-64 Success

· Score: 2
I'm surprised the distributed team is thinking of going to the RC5-72 bit challenge. Even with the average CPU speeds increasing, it'll take another 5 years probably to crack it.
Given the payout for this stuff, I'd have expect some expert cryptographers are working on the 128 bit algorithm, looking for cracks to reduce the brute force time...that's what I would be doing at this point had I the skill...not focusing on the crummy brute force attacks....

As I quote from the article.
"Sony said it would continue to offer repairs and manufacture tapes for the format, adding the move would not affect its Betacam products for the broadcasting industry"
doesn't anyone read the articles these things point to? F*** almighty...
For starters, it's a ton of fun, period. If I could redo my tech career and have a Computer degree (I had a broadcasting degree instead) - I'd have loved it.
Second, a Degree stays, certs have to be renewed
Third, Many HR depts. still are hung up on the whole "4 year degree" thing - not all, and it's not as important as work experience, but I've missed a couple opportunities because of no 4 year degree in the tech field.
Fourth, Completing college shows employers that you have stick to it principles and can focus on long term goals. I know I've gotten some jobs as a college graduate even though I wasn't in the field.
Go - all joking about the ultimate party and co-ed showers aside, it'll be good for your career. You can always do certs in college too if you feel so inclined.
I don't think Wilco's decision to release the album on the internet is going to be an indicator of an online release's ability to sell well.
Wilco is a VERY GOOD band that has an almost "Cult" Status to it. The fans will buy it to support them, but anyone who hasn't heard of them probably won't download it or buy it.
Wilco is virtually the American Radiohead in terms of creativity, direction, and vision. The Woody Guthrie collabrations with Billy Bragg are part of what did this. Reprise is full of morons (look for Neil Young to get the boot next) - and the collective outcry when Wilco was released was hilarious.
I just wouldn't take this as a sign of how all things will go. Wilco will easily sell in the same category of about 500,000 - but I don't think the online prerelease will have much to do with it.
As a resident of the state...only a suburb away from Hopkins, it's unusual to see the state doing something that doesn't involve us paying more taxes for.
If they can do it, more power to them, I say. Of course, if they can tax us and still do this, the bastards will find a way.

Sounds like someone's setting themselves up for another juicy lawsuit. Glad I don't live in California right now or I'd be paying for it.
It's like going back to your kindergarden and seeing what you used to play on. The stuff you remember and the stuff that seems much smaller now.
I ran a search under my name...found some old posts...also found some wild stuff, like an old Slashdot quote I had that someone had pulled out, snipped, and posted along with a bunch of other quotes on an alt.atheist posting.

Back in the ol' Win 95 days, the Win95 upgrade could be used as long as you had a "WINDOWS" directory and a file named "win386.ini"
so you took edit.com, and created a blank file called win386.ini - presto..the upgrade became the full kitten kaboddle
Upgrade disks will by necessity require the entire OS - all that is required is to figure out how to circument it, and it's end of story...this is barely even news if it wasn't for the fact they sic'd lawyers to prevent a webpage from passing out info every hacker will figure out in about 2 hours
As of today, I understand that you are able to give presentations based upon the flaws you've discovered in digital watermarking. In essence, you have won this battle...However, you are still continuing your lawsuit against the RIAA.

AH discontinued it's line about 3 years ago and were bought out by HASBRO - The AH name is owned by Hasbro who now uses it to pimp their Axis and Allied titles, etc...crappy simulations...
They manufacture a few of the titles...Advanced Squad Leader and a few others went to Multi Man Publishing...www.advancedsquadleader.com
I know this is stupid to reply to..but if I don't, some dumbass kid with a small penis will have to respond to my using the term "generic troops" to prove how smart he is....and then we'll have 3-4 retarded comments to sift thru.
I didn't mean generic troops...I meant generic units...In other words...It can represent anywhere from Batallion to Corp units...the game has some flexibility to it and can represent any number of eras and technologies from 1914 up to present day. The internal components to each unit are unique (a certain number of troops, vehiches...like Shermans - Panzers, etc)- but it's a very very flexible gaming system.
This has been debated forever in wargaming forums...Is a game a real strategy game if you actually can control individual units? Realistically, a real simulation would have the same intelligence as a battlefield commander (not much and mostly misleading) - and you wouldn't be controlling individual units...you'd give orders for objectives...and then you'd wait to hear if you were successful or not... Right now, the way most games are (RTS or Turn based)..you know right away and you make decisions based upon 100% accuracy of the battlefield...which almost never happens.
Computer games have fixed this somewhat...you can be a bit more vague or have battlefield "fog" - but the same issue remains...the typical wargamer has a hell of a lot more knowledge and control of his tactial situation then a real life commander..(at least back then...maybe not so much now)
The closest we were coming was Road To Moscow...a real time corps based simulation of the WWII Russian Campaign with flexible AI...problem is...game got shuffled so many times there is no publisher...the developer is currently MIA...I guess it's a good idea in the trash heap...although there are still discussions on www.wargamer.com
Otherwise...the best tactical game i can recommend is Norm Koger's The Operational Art of War (talonsoft....www.talonsoft.com) - a great tactical simulation that covers supply, replacements, generic troops...and although it's turn based...you never really know which attacks will end the turn.
I remember the headaches we had when a real bad former employee used us as a reference on another job interview...
If you say you wouldn't hire that person again, there is a threat of legal action...so we just said he had worked here and let him become someone else's problem

The only thing different about this story is it's Muslims instead of Christians.

Cisco Type 7 passwords are a very basic hash that anyone with some utilities off the internet can crack...
Type 5 passwords (or enable secret) - are encrypted with a much higher quality hash that I believe is resilant to everything but a brute force attack.
Before trying to diminish someone to make yourself look smart, it would help if you gave advice that didn't make everyone's router crackable.
well...there's enable secret SECRET, PASSWORD, CISCO -
those are the three I've seen the most.
Face it...the vast majority of virus problems are spread by hapless users who mistakenly send their buddies emails containing the viruses.
