These are two different versions of the same crane - by two different people. Dennis did his in much larger scale than mine. You can find more info about mine here.
Lego, like TSR and Microsoft, has a rather nasty history of suing anyone who goes 'boo'. All you have to do is whisper 'Lego' and they're all over your ass. Most old-family owned places are like this, must be something.
Then you take the key, and the resulting 'encrypted' file, and send them on their merry way. Only when the two are placed together can the original data be recovered.
So as long as nobody obtains the original key, the data is uncrackable. You can't brute force it, because the keyspace is the size of the data itself. Brute forcing it would simply mean generating every single combination of 1k data fields and guessing which one was the original.
And so you've reduced the problem of sending 1kb securely to the problem of sending 1kb securely...Oh, wait....
What gives? I did a search, and it came up with a brief that looks like the article, but when I click on it, I just get the category menu! Anyone got a copy I could read?
The privacy clause is just a result of Oracle's stupid "uncrackable" promise, and the realisation that online companies can't possibly make such guarantees. They're saying they'll try their hardest to avoid disclosure of private info, but because it's online, there's always a chance it'll get abused. Not that big a deal IMO - if you post private info over the 'net you deserve what you get anyway.
I always say you shouldn't send anything over the 'net unencrypted that you wouldn't put on a postcard, and nothing encrypted that you wouldn't put in a standard letter. No matter what promises the intended recipient makes. Period.

Lego plural is lego thank you very much!
.....
Actually, LEGO is an adjective, so has no plural.
one LEGO brick
two LEGO bricks

Hey, my 20 yo crown just fell out - maybe they'd pay me to fly over to UK to test one of these as a replacement???
...it'll never happen - Micro$oft couldn't afford it.
Seriously, who cares what some corporation thinks? I had legos as a kid and they're mine, not theirs. Get it, grammar nazi?
The bricks may be yours, but the name is theirs.

Tell that the members of Lugnet.

The story in "The Advertiser" is dated May 2, 2000. Not all that recent, really...
Say you have 1kb you need to encrypt.
You generate a 1kb key, and do a simple XOR.
Then you take the key, and the resulting 'encrypted' file, and send them on their merry way. Only when the two are placed together can the original data be recovered.
So as long as nobody obtains the original key, the data is uncrackable. You can't brute force it, because the keyspace is the size of the data itself. Brute forcing it would simply mean generating every single combination of 1k data fields and guessing which one was the original.

I don't think "Office" is any less generic than "Windows", do you???
although this is the first time a geek web site ever got someone more sex (you),
Since when did getting married ever result in more sex????

"The Oracle database server itself runs on some sixty odd different operating systems,"
How many non-odd operating systems does it run on??
He didn't say "at the same time".
These guys write open-source. Why would they spend time worrying about formatting????
So write some & submit it.
They pay lip service to QA and rely on their early adopter users to find any lingering problems.
Sounds like most Linux drivers to me...hands up those who've never had similar problems with a Linux system?
Seems to me they came up with a fix pretty quick, which flies in the face of those who say open source always provides better service.

What they really need is more I/O and a better array of sensors. You can break the 3 output/ 3 input barrier, but it's awkward. And how about sonar!
Check out John Barnes' web-site HiTechnic for a nice selection of extra sensors, including proximity sensors, and compass sensors.
LegOS is now at 0.2.5. You can get all the latest info (along with CVS access, etc) at SourceForge.
Ha! Is that the Feds I hear knockin' at your door????
...way to go, Buck!
