What people don't realize is that the optics are just as important as the megapixel count. I'd take a two megapixel camera with a nikon lens over a 7 megapixel camera phone any day.
I've read several people questioning why the general public hasn't started using email encryption en masse. The problem is that email encryption will not gain critical mass unless the following things happen.
1) The encryption software is built in to their default mail client 2) Its easy to use 3) Its turned on by default 4) Its compatible with everyone elses.
I made a bootable CD with several utilities, including ethereal (sniffer for both Windows and Linux). also I include an image making utility with several boot floppy images including ghost etc... Several different small server apps including thttpd for Linux and a small Windows ftpd. I have security tools like firewalls like ipf for solaris, etc... port scanners remote access tools like VNC. The old winnt telnet client. Unix tools ported to dos. Slackware boot and root images etc. People are always asking to borrow it. No need for boot floppies when CDs are bootable.
Get this, all of Hawaii has a meetup list of get this 4 people! To compare, Missoula Montana has a list of 7! Believe it or not we do not live in grass huts out here as this signup would suggest. In fact when I checked the Census list there are approx 1,224,398 people that live in Hawaii compared with 57,000 for Missoula and they have twice as many people on their list. Can someone explain this to me?
IIRC every 10 bits doubles the amount of work requred to break RSA. The reason for this is there are factoring algorithms which can do better than straight brute force.
The best general-purpose factoring algorithm today is the Number Field Sieve (NFS) [BLP94] [BLZ94], which runs in time approximately O(e1.9(lnn)1/3(lnlnn)2/3). Previously, the most widely used general-purpose algorithm was the Multiple Polynomial Quadratic Sieve (MPQS) [Sil87], which has running time O(e(lnn)1/2(lnlnn)1/2).
I used to work on Transmitters and Receivers and I can say that 55MHZ is a lot of seperation. The one thing that we were concerned about was something called Harmonics and Intermodulation Distortion. IE: a frequency of lets say 225 MHZ might also have a Harmonic at 450 MHZ etc... They were normally multiples of the original frequency. But the transmitters that we worked on also had power levels of approx 10,000 watts per transmitter (HF) and very large directional antennas. I'm thinking that these wifi cards are putting out signals in the order of milliwatts so interference should be very localized if any at all. I doubt that Intermodulation Distortion could cause such a wide shift in frequency as well.
I was wondering if a properly written clause would protect me from anti defamation lawsuits? For example, a statement that says everything I said was just my personal opinion? I think I've seen these before but I would like to know how much legal weight they carry?

sftp clients? For Windows check out Putty. So you want a *nix client then of course Openssh is available. I agree with your statement that anything plugged into a network is not bulletproof but some systems have proven themselves to be much stronger than others.
The article mentioned that the U.S. Military was now capable of Jamming GPS signals so that is the reason they turned off Selective Availability. So why wouldn't it be possible for the enemy to make jammers to stop us from using our own system? (or any GPS system for that matter). From what I've heard GPS signals that finally make it to the receiver are very weak and therefore a stronger signal coming from somewhere on the ground would possibly interfere. Wouldn't this be a Denial of Service GPS style? Does the military signal have some sort of antijam feature? Lets hope so.
The good old days were when everybody got together for Modem Users Pizza Thingies. If you mentioned email to someone back then people just gave you that puzzled look.
My dad used to own a propane van that he purchased from his work. This was about 15 years ago but I remember how much of a pain it was to go all the way to his work to refuel it. Plus when it was freezing cold outside you had to release this freezing cold valve thing to find out when the tank was all the way full. If it wasn't such a pain and of course cheaper then everybody would make the switch to an alternative fuel. I think the most promising thing on the horizon are hybrid cars so that you have the option when one fuel source isn't available. Jess
I thought that slashdot did a story a while back on the LAME encoder (Mp3) and it was totally free of all copyright issues with Frauenhoffer. Plus if I remember correctly it was also open source. Why not just stick with MP3 if this is the case or am I missing something. Jess
Well, now instead of one monster there are two. I hope this plan works. I think that Microsoft is like a starfish, you cut it in half and guess what happens!
I totally agree. Although I haven't played jumpman in a while. Now that I think about it I do have a C=64 emulator somewhere. Maybe I'll fire it back up:) But then again I guess some of these new games do require quite a bit of horsepower. Jess

I don't believe email encryption will become mainstream unless these things happen.
1) Major email client providers agree on a standard
2) The ability to encyrpt/decrypt is provided with the default install of their product.

Is it just me or is that a Car seat bolted to an Automobile Floor Jack! (See page Seven). Wow this guy is brave :)
