  1. Re:Hatch the Badass on Sen. Hatch Warns Labels: Don't Make Me Come Spank You · · Score: 1

    If you listened to Gene Kan's testimony, it was a incoherent rambling of catchphrases... If you can hear it, you can copy it!!! Information wants to be free!!! They cannot stop us!!! We must appeal to their profit motive!!! Turn pirates into profiteers!!! Blah Blah!!! Blah Blah!!! _etc._

  2. Re:Won't happen. Failsafe HW is run by the mafia! on Linux Failover? · · Score: 1

    Give me any recent version of Windows, and two Intel Pro 10/100 NICs ($39 direct), and I can do fault tolerance and load balancing. You use the intel ProSet utility, and go to 'Adapter teaming'

  3. Re:XML needs to be integrated into Linux on Can XML Replace Proprietary Document Formats? · · Score: 1

    I believe your layers are switched:

    Physical (your hardware)
    IP (addressing and routing)
    TCP\UDP (control and error correction)
    Applications (HTTP, FTP, TELNET, etc.)

    Winsock \ Berkeley Sockets is between the applications and the stack, not IP.

    If you think TCP is the sole TCP/IP protocol -its not. UDP is used for DNS and DHCP. IP is in the kernel because even if you are not on a network, it is sometimes used for communication between processes.

  4. Re:Combined text and graphics on KeyGhost Security Keyboard Records Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    M$ actually has a free utility somewhat similiar to what you described, the "On-Screen Keyboard". You can use your mouse to click or hover over keys, or you can let scan rows, click/input on your joystick/mouse/keyboard/serial port/parallel port when it hits the right row, then choose the right column. If you enabled all of these at once, there would be a very visible mass of dongles on the back of your computer. Unfortunately, it doesn't work before login. Given the modular nature of the NT/2000 login, it would certainly be possible to convert it, though. It would be even easier on Linux.

  5. Re:text "passwords" are the problem on KeyGhost Security Keyboard Records Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    The movie was 'Safe House', and I think its out on video. The story was he was former 'DIA' employee.

  6. Re:That's only a small part of my campus' bandwidt on What's Banned On Your Campus? · · Score: 1

    I think you have mistaken routers for hubs. Routers do everything switches do and more. It might decrease delay slightly (if they have cheap routers), but the broadcast storms would suck. If they were in fact using hubs, it would 'DRAMASTICALLY' increase the local traffic, as you said.

  7. Re:How to prevent eavesdropping? on Intel Goes for Display Encryption · · Score: 1

    You seem to be mistaking picture for signal. In the Ross Anderson paper on eavesdropping, he says that only the top 30% of the *frequencies* emitted are received, but never mentions the top 30% of the *picture*. He has screenshots of the captured image, and the whole picture is there. The fonts work by cutting off the high frequency information out of the horizontal.
