    Le superdisk is a 120 MB floppy. It's drive can be used to access floppies or the 120 mb thing. With harddrives less than $75 bucks, I cannot believe that any true geek would have a SUPERDRIVE and not a simple, old, 500 mb or so harddrive.

  5. Re:wrong on Encrypting Digital Music With Multiple Keys · · Score: 1

    Nope. Try running lopht's password cracker on a SMB password file from NT - the 16 character passwords are broken into two groups of 8 each, and it is MUCH easier to break a 8 character password and than another 8 character password than breaking a 16 character one. So it is 41 bits, because 40 + 40 = 80, but either this 40 or that 40 can be marked by one bit. If 40 bits made 5 possibilities (very simplified), then two sets of 40 bits would give you ten possibilities, but 80 bits would give you 25.

    Gandalf says that secrecy and unexpected moves are their best hope - go to the library and find the letters of JRR Tolkien - he explains it much better - basically, if Sauron knew where the ring was exactly, and it would be obvious with many Elves around it, then he would throw all his force there, and win.

  16. Re:It is communism on Cybercommunism and the Gift Culture · · Score: 3

    Communism is simple, perfect, and not doable in the real world. The theory is great, but people's greed never allows it to work. It will work for awhile, and then crumble. (Cross reference USSR, communes, etc.) But in software, where it costs noone any money to duplicate software, it can work. But people don't want to call GNU, *BSD, Linux, etc "Software Communism," because of the connotations of the word "communism." But think: It is the efforts of all going to help all, ie, Alan Cox makes a SCSI driver. Now every one has access to that SCSI driver; it has gone into the collective pool. Now in physical communism, the pool grows and shrinks, depending on how many people add work, food, money, etc, and how many people take these things out. But in software, the pool can only grow. So when I download a SCSI driver, it doesn't prevent anyone else from downloading the same driver.

    Actually, hardware quality gargles my nuts. It's sad, but it's true. I'm sitting next to about 50 thousand dollars worth of SCSI disks, etc, about 25 thousand dollars worth which don't work. From the 24 disks on RMA now, to the dead Adaptec cards, to the dead motherboard, it's all crap. The worst offender is intergrated motherboards, with onboard everything - I've personally seen 3 of them fry. Usually it's just an ethernet card or something, but hardware quality is pretty low, as compared to the grand ole' IBM 8086, which still runs. (No it doesn't run linux, and no - you don't wanna beowulf it, either!) But you can use it as a jackstand.

    Exactly. I think it would benifit the community greatly were companies like Red Hat to pay people to document the more obscure parts of the kernel. This is especially important as the changes are so rapid and the systems are always evolving (for example: modules in 2.0 to modules in 2.2)
