Of course, these compressions are lossless, not lossy. In recompressing an mp3 to another format, you likely will loose even more quality than you originally did.
Since most of this nuclear material was gotten from the environment anyways, I don't see the harm. Radioactive materials are as naturally occuring as other materials.
Actually, the Enigma machine was immune to frequency analysis because the key used to encrypt each letter was changed for each letter. This was the purpose of the three (and later more) rotating tumblers with 26 sets of wires on each side. Press a key, thunk, the first tumbler moves over one position and you have a different encryption. 'AAAA' could come out as 'CLXT'. After 26 keys, the second tumbler moves over. And so on.
The primary reason Enigma was breakable was that the germans used message keys for each message, which were encrypted using a pre-selected day-key. The message keys were broadcast twice at the beginning of each message, which led the hungarians to develop a method for cracking the key based upon chains of letters in at the beginning of the messages. Once the day key could be cracked, communications were transparent for the rest of the day. This is not frequency analysis.
Uh, yes. Maybe I didn't, since I pointed to the Royal Bank of Canada's web site, and since the question was posed by someone apparently looking for a bank to replace his Toronto Dominion Bank, another Canadian bank.
The Royal Bank has a beautiful online banking system that I use in Windows, and in Linux. It even works in Mozilla, when crypto support is available. Yay Royal Bank. www.royalbank.com
Earlier this year I foudn the original LFS howto and I created a sorta-mini-distro that I called Laonux. The 40 meg tar.gz file expanded to a 200 meg filesystem. It worked great. Last thursday I replaced my RedHat system with this one, and added on all the bells and whistles. Hehe, it's quite an enjoyable experience. You should all do it. You know you want to. Just be careful around glibc, it bites.
Aw man. This is quite the disappointment. The thing looked excellent and we were all very happy. *sigh* All good things come to an end.. some before they get a rolling start.
While it seems that many BBSes are dead and the sense of community throughout the internet has changed substantially, there is one area of the internet that seems to have hidden from major changes. MOOing. LambdaMOO (telnet://lambda.moo.mud.org:8888/) still supports thousands of users a day, though the 'community' there is.. often questionable. Smaller MOOs, such as MOO Canada (http://www.moo.ca/) seem to have a stronger sense of community, and tend not to gain more users than they loose in a period of time.

Oh yes.:)
And I completely agree with the review, except I liked seeing the faces. I wish the penguin toy had been named tux.;)
Ignoring the absolute idiocy of this patent is difficult, but after doing so we see that it is somewhat threatening. I know several large coroporations that use X and this method of running applications.. for a home user such as myself, I don't think this would ever impact anything. Can you really see being sued because, say, you use a laptop that can't handle netscape itself but can run an X server?:) But what of the corporate world.. universities perhaps too? Lots of people have used this 'patented' technology for a long time.. technology that wasn't developed by the patenting company in this case. This is bogus.:)

Um. I have two solutions: Don't. Or setup some sort of gateway. Using qmail locally, I was able to setup an 'nntp' user with a.qmail-default file that ran a little perl script and did stuff. Thus I sent mail to 'nntp-alt.os.linux@localhost' and it appears on alt.os.linux. It's a real terrible hack though so I don't intend to make that code public.:) But, well, I dunno.:)

I recommend using fetchnews for all your NNTP needs. The combination of fetchnews and mutt is very enjoyable. You can find fetchnews on freshmeat, or at http://files.moo.ca/~laotzu/fetchnews.html.
I may be slightly biased since I programmed fetchnews for just this purpose.;)
I've thought about this problem before for family members. Windows (referring to the graphical boxes, not any OS), icons, desktops, they're all much more difficult to use than they need to be. Unforunatly, I've never found something that/is/ really really really really simple, either in windows or linux. Due to the setup of X, it would be much easier to create such a system than it would be with windows.
Is anyone interested in creating something akin to a X window manager that does/not/ use these concepts? Choose an application with hot keys or by clicking from a full-screen menu, set it's geometry to a full screen, provide some way to close windows if a dumb javascript thing tells netscape to remove the file menu and such. Extra simple, super easy, but still very usable?:) I'd be very interested in being part of such a project, in both design and programming. It shouldn't be excessively difficult I would think, and a proper setup would be useable by anyone.
The best solution to this problem is probably to use 'make oldconfig' to ask the kernel to 'use my old options, but tell me about anything new so I can decide'.
As for a warning about virtual consoles, well, in my opinion the help should be good enough.
