I can't believe that there isn't a single person out there that did a wget -r on that site. If you happen to have a mirror of that data, even if it is partial and a year old, please get in contact with Ken or the cDc. Or post the URL here, if you can stand the traffic.
As far as I understand the text decrypted so far, it encourages the decryptor of parts 1-3 to go to the specified location and dig there. The reference to the opening of the grave in Egypt is a dead giveaway. I suspect there will be some part of the code necessary for part 4 buried there.
Well, it _did_ crash for me the last time I tried. But I only blame software for crashing when it's version number is above 1.0. You get what you deserve when you try a version DR0.15;).
I'm using KDE here, and it's rock stable. If only Qt would suck less...

>The average income in Germany is higher than in the USA. Before taxes or after?
Both. Not to forget the better social security and health insurance.
>The TV, the telephone, the light bulb, the computer, the web and the Linux kernel were all developed in Europe.
TV, was inventd by a man named Philo Farnsworth, he was an American farmer.
Check your facts. TV was invented by Manfred von Ardenne and first presented to the world on the Funkausstellung 1931 in Berlin. See here.
Bell was obviously an American, as was Edison.
Sure, but Bell didn't invent the telephone, Phillip Reis did. And Edison didn't invent the lightbulb either, it was an engineer named G oebel who presented the first lightbulb in 1854.
Both Bell and Edison were just very successful in marketing other people's inventions, just as Microsoft is today.
Did I mention who invented the car?
Early computers were just an evolution of a chinese invention.
The first working computer was been built by Konrad Zuse, though.
The soviets did contribute much ot the war effort, But who stormed the beach at Normandy?
I do not underestimate the influence of US intervention in WWII, but you shouldn't overestimate it. After all, when the US started intervention, the Soviets had been in the war for five years, and the odds had turned to them. Who stormed Berlin?

One of which is that the Europeans and Canadians are jelous of the freedom and prosperity that we have in the USA. As I'm sure most of us have experienced, it's like when you get a roomfull of your classmates angry at you for "ruining the grading curve".
Last time I checked, the percentage of total population in prison was eight times higher in the USA than in every European country. Exporting open-source crypto is legal in most European countries, and smoking pot is legal in some. The average income in Germany is higher than in the USA.
The TV, the telephone, the light bulb, the computer, the web and the Linux kernel were all developed in Europe.
So much for "freedom and prosperity".
Before you atttempt to make us into potential victims like yourselves, just keep in mind the last time your "safe" european countries were in trouble, it was a bunch of tobacco smoking, gun toting Americans who bailed you out.
Not to forget the 20 Million Soviet soldiers that left their life during WWII. You're a little bit US-centric, you even say "Americans" and mean US citizens.
Sorry for the rant, but I've grown weary of outsiders and know-notings telling us how to run our country.
Same here. I am weary of a Mr. Aaron trying to tell us how to handle crypto, a DEA trying to enforce their wierd idea of drugs on us, and a US Navy trying to play world police.
Just that you as a country did a few things right in the past when all the rest of the world was sound asleep doesn't mean you've got everything right.
What you really want is MPEG2. This is the format used for DVD and DTV (aka DVB in Europe), so it's broadcast quality, waaay superior to VHS. But it's 4GB per movie.
I predict we will see that being traded on the net. Within no more than 2 years.
Now they didn`t like MP3, but they will *hate* MPEG2.
More generations than I can shake a stick at!

> How soon will it be until Linux is considered a legacy system?
Right now? After all, it carries around lots of UNIX legacy, like those dreaded tty drivers, X, strange configurations etc.
Although they get it all wrong in the article (of course this uses electromagnetic waves, they are just shaped differently), this looks like promising technology. Go read the papers on the website.
Go ask them nicely. I've asked for a PPC port, and offered some help, and they replied back that they are indeed working on a PPC port, and just wair for LinuxPPC R5 to be released.
If you're interested in a language as fast as C++, but as nice as Python or perl, check out Dylan. A Gtk+ wrapper is under development. Gwydion Dylan is even written in itself, you can't say this about Tcl, perl or Python.
I was involved in a commercial project that used Tcl. The experience says: use perl. You will regret using Tcl. You will hate it. You will fail deadlines over and over again. The system will be sluggish, and you can't do a thing about it, because it's Tcl's fault.
I mean, what do you expect from a language designer who distinguishes between untyped and statically typed languages? And either has never heard of dynamic typing or chooses to ignore it? Who thinks that "all the world is a string"?
Do yourself, your employer, and your customers a favor, and stay away from Tcl.
... ist that they don't work. I haven't seen a single watermarking scheme yet which could not be broken by trivial manipulation, and I don't expect Liquid Audio's stuff to be different.
... and I won't be near anything which could kill me due to a failing computer (inside a plane, near a nuclear power plant, you get the idea). Nor will I do something which will risk my life due to the unavailability of computers which happen to run 30 year old software written in COBOL, read: have enough cash and food for a month or so.
It won't be the end of the world, but it could become a little unpleasant. Like a power outage, or a long public transportation strike are unpleasant.
I remember when 300k was a big download. Nowadays downloading 100MB of MP3 is common for a lot of people. I think it won't take long before the 4GB of a DVD movie will be a regularly traded item.

The region code stuff is in the drive, not in the decoder. So you would have that problem even with a software decoder.
Source gives you the choice of CPU. Binaries are usually available for x86 only.
Only if someone adds a hack to the X server that supports overlay video over the VESA feature connector.
Sorry, no layer 3 audio. The decoder chip just doesn't support it.
Due to popular demand, results will be available soon.
You won't get the specs to write Linux drivers for that board. People have tried and failed.
