Actually, it's getting grabbed shortly before it hits the soundcard, which makes it digital. But no, it's not really a "crack", and no, it's nothing all that special. What it really stems from is the fact that Winamp is an open platform, and people can write whatever plugins for it they want.
The question, considering that Winamp is a product of AOL, is this: which will happen first? * Napster locks down their protected format so that Winamp can't open it (probably a short term fix) * AOL locks down Winamp so that you can only run "trusted" output plugins
Actually, the problem in question is rather less like the two-body apple problem and rather more like the N-body problem, which is extremely sensitive to initial conditions, and therefore rather tricky to work with even if you do know everything you need to.
Maybe that's just because the people whining about intuitive paradigmatization are a much more vocal group than those that realize that a computer isn't really a paintbrush, and that GIMP is incredibly powerful if you take the time to learn it. (Though admittedly it's not feature-complete yet, you can do a real lot with what's there.)
Besides the fact that you didn't even try to turn "oil" into something acceptably greek, your claim still doesn't make sense.
Patriarchy is "rule of the fathers". Oligarchy is "rule of the few". Anarchy is "no rule". Olearchy would be "rule of the unctuous combustible substances."
Now here is the real failing of the partisan way of thinking. Just because the Clintons (epsecially the one we still have to deal with) are fuckwits, and they're Democrats, doesn't mean that Bush is not a fuckwit by virtue of being a Republican.
Similarly, just because Bush is a moron and a psychopath, doesn't mean that the opposition candidate (admit it, there's only one that matters) is somehow a good guy. To borrow a metaphor, we just vote for the lizards because if we don't, the other lizard will win.
Right, because you're going to see a lot of interest by groups looking to do space transportation at a loss, knowing that they'll be liable for everything that happens, even though space is dangerous, they took every reasonable precaution, and the passengers were aware of the risks. That would go over real well. They appear to actually be trying to come up with some standards voluntarily, instead of waiting to be forced to, and in a sane world that would be considered a good thing. And if you don't trust them on it, you have the same choice you always had -- don't go to space.
I did some expert sleuthing, and found that it supports at least four additional regions besides midwest USA. They include:
Northeast USA
Southeast USA
Northwest USA
Southwest USA
Keep in mind that Southwest USA is where Google is, and I'm sure they have a much easier time getting geographical data. Besides, it would suck if the Google developers did all that work, got the site up, and it couldn't even show them their own offices!
everyone is responsible in their own way. The victim is responsible because he shouldn't have been such a complete moron as to leave open the possibility that someone he doesn't know could initiate a transfer in his name. The bank holds some of the responsibility because on a transfer that large, they should have expended the effort to check it out in more detail. But please don't forget that by far the greatest portion of the blame falls on the jerk who actually stole the money.
All this is assuming that the guy didn't actually make the whole thing up to try to make a buck, in which case the first jerk and the third jerk are the same jerk, and the bank's complicity is still relatively small.
Indeed. The GTK+ 1 file chooser is pretty much optimal. Bring it up to date visually, add a couple quick-navigation icons if you really must, and it will be the best possible. The thing even tab-completes in an absolutely intuitive way. Why did they feel the need to make it so much less functional for new releases?
Perhaps that's why every distro I've ever met is configured, by default, not to antialias fonts under a certain size? I think it's your system, man. I don't have problems with blurry antialiased fonts, and I don't get problems with blocky fonts at small sizes. Everything, amazingly enough, Just Works (tm).
As I posted above, thogard's code only succeeds in finding extraneous keys that are congruent to d (mod phi), but that are outside of the actual keyspace. All it "proves" is that the keyspace for a given n is of a finite size, which is why we speak of RSA keys having a certain bit length in the first place. Finding one of these extra keys is no easier than finding the first one; it's an exactly equivalent problem, so there are no security implications here, only a misunderstanding of the algorithm on thogard's part.
The additional values of "d" that your code finds are congruent to the original d, mod phi. This necessarily means that they are larger than (p-1)(q-1). Finding your "extra" d's is reducable to the problem of finding the original d, only harder because the numbers are bigger. So all you've proven is that the keyspace is limited by the size of 'n' and that you should use reasonably large primes instead of two-digit ones. We already knew this, so your "attack" does nothing to the security of RSA.
There is no such thing as "Java Script", only JavaScript.
The only connection between the two is that they were both big at Netscape around the same time. They were about to release a version of Navigator with support for Java, and at the same time, also coming up with this nifty little language for scripting page objects. Originally it had some other name, but some genius decided "hey, these are both shiny active-content things. Let's name the scripting one JavaScript, so it sounds more impressive next to Java!"
Reminds me, back around the time I was in middle school, we had PS/2 systems with this corny IBM text-based menu system, which was supposed to give them the ability to control who was allowed to run what. But there were so incredibly many ways to break out of the system, most of which involved the word processor application they had installed. It had a Shell to DOS feature, which nobody in IT noticed for a long time. Eventually they broke that, but the entire menu system was based on on-the-fly creation of batch files. Removing the running file was an easy way to cause a bailout as soon as you closed the running application. It's really funny what passed for "security" at the time.

"Overengineering" is not the same thing as "engineering". In fact, it's something of an antonym.

But there isn't, strictly speaking, a Nobel Prize for Economics.

Olearchy would be "rule of the unctuous combustible substances."
But it is the case with PSP, though. In the same class as Photoshop? No chance. I can get more done more easily with GIMP.
Fairly funny, but you might want to try spelling "Mandela" right from here on out. :)
Do you really, I mean really really think that the original poster didn't know this, and that you were actually telling the world something useful?

Isn't Yahoo search provided by Google?

Do you mean to imply that the US is ruled by horses?

Please provide an example, given any p, q, and e you want, of two valid values of d, both smaller than (p-1)(q-1).

Whereas the the somewhat less clueless people will instead hack it to achieve significant improvement in their gas mileage. :)
That was valid 10 years ago. Now we've got "people use windows because they've been using windows for the past 10 years"

And thus was JS born.
Yes... much, much easier for you. But also, everyone in the room wanted to kill you. Don't inflict Powerpoint on people.
