OK! Quick show of hands.. Who is not using the default web page that came with your browser? Ok Now how many have not changed the home page? Hmm Just as I thought. I know this was not a great poll as only people who can read and program VCR's have made it here. This site doesn't have many pictures.
Thanks for filling in the details.. We use them but I don't carry one. We are not as big as Microsoft. I thought Microsoft would have been big enough with IP valuable enough to justify using something that secure. I guess they were in the we are software engineers, we can do it better ourself mindset.
The idea is to waste their time sifting garbage so it isn't worth the effort. Sorta like trying to kill all the DECSS stuff out there to find a bunch of it is referring to cacading style sheets.
Web pages mentioning DECSS attract attention. FTP sites with noise would do the same time and take much longer to verify if any content was there. The idea is to make snooping unproductive.
I have seen the MD optical storage disks. They are not the same size as a minidisk. Liberty Systems made some. The disk carrier is quite a bit larger than a minidisk. They are a good but expensive backup device and like CDRW are not random read/write like a floppy. CDRW is a much cheaper format.
I still don't know how to send out my.DOC file out the IRDA port and have the MINIDISK record it. I haven't ever seen that done before. I don't expect to either:-}
I meant is are file formats other than the SONY audio file format supported and are there drives that can be put in a computer that can write these? Have you ever tried to store your pictures on an audio CD in the audio CD format? What I was wondering is Is it possible to record a non-audio format on a minidisk? EG;.EXE.WAV.AVI.DOC etc.
If that happened I would be sure to create a bunch of files on a 30G hard drive by using a random number generator and giving the files random names. Then I would do all my real computing on a palm pilot.
If I'm not mistaken, I think it isn't used for data is because of it's proprotiory format. Remember, this thing impliments serial copy protection. I don't think it is friendly to non SONY audio file formats. Please let me know if I am wrong on this point. I have seen these only used for audio applications and nothing else.
Always make 2 floppies of current homework. It's worked for me and only takes a few seconds. It's one to carry (probably the one dammaged) and one to keep locked in a drawer. As always use quality certified media. I like the compact flash idea, but students will have more important files to put on them like MP3's. Most portable players still do not take floppies.;-)
That hack shows the poor security. Many companies use a credit card pass-card. I don't remember the name of the card manufacture, but the card has an LCD display that has a random 8 digit number that changes every 10 seconds. To login, you need your computer which has proprotiory software, your login name & password AND the 8 digit number. You can't be too slow entering this number. If it's too old, it doesn't work. (I don't have secure access from home but some of the engineers do) I don't think the email exploit would have gotten into any sensitive area here.
I know offtopic, but revelant to this thread. E books are coming that are in a locked NDA bound format that can not be copied and read on another machine.
Too bad it is shown as part of a hacker/cracker community. It is not being shown as a mainstream desktop OS. That kinda shows it as an underground shady hacker OS. I would like to see it shown as a super useful OS without hinting it is only for hackers and crackers.
Absolutely! Due to consumer feedback Intel put out a software patch that disabled the serial number, but because it was a BIOS patch, someone else (who knew what they were doing) demonstrated how to run a JAVA program by visiting a website that turned it back on. I don't think the turn on code is very wide spread on the web. But if you turn off the number, be sure to check for it on a regular basis. Write flame mail to the website that turns it on without letting you know first. No need to flame a demonstration site.
The root meaning of stepping comes from the use of Steppers in the Lithography portion of chip manufacture. Stepers are the photography equivelant of an enlarger. A new stepping means putting a new negative in the enlarger which is a hardware modification to the chip design. The negative in a stepper is called a RETICLE and many times it is a positive and not a negative and is used with a postive photoresist. A web search on steppers & Lithography will provide more information on this interesting subject.
The OS gets in the way of any self replicating virus that could even be concieved to run on one of these. No instruction in microcode can tell outlook to mail the first 50 people in the address book. A virus in the OS on the other hand....
Not Sucks, Thrifty. How do you think they got rid of all the pentium serial numbers without retooling. Being able to move quickly in a fast moving market is smart.
Unfortunately not. However try an infoseek search on reverse engineering and data recovery. It may give you some insight. The government is quite tight lipped about it, but the data recovery industry has some interesting stuff. The same principals apply. Read the source and make an exact copy. Never do anything to the source that would allow it to self destruct or alter itself (boot it) and then pick it apart (the copy). A shady source of this kind of information is check out the hacking of DSS smart cards. They are built to self destruct if attacked. Still a few holes in them that were exploited. The how to do it is an interesting read. Hard drives are easly read and copied. Smart cards are built to overcome the easy to read venurability of hard drives. Many embeded controllers are also security enhanced to prevent reading or copying the code in them. DVD players and CSS come to mind as examples. Good luck.

The military goes further than that. The top secret stuff is in another room. You don't even carry in a floppy! There is no wire outside the room to sniff. Encryption between sites is done in another room off that room with very limited access. The encrypted link is not on the internet.

In the military, The Top Secret stuff is not allowed to be connected to the internet in any way. All the passwords in the world won't get you the last 20 feet to the files. There is no wire. I think Microsofts sensitive information should have had the same protection as the potential for dammage is about the same.
Hobyists are pretty much locked out of laser shows as well as open source developers. I just checked the webpage for the processor manufacture. They are proud of the fact the board has a serial number that will play shows written for that serial number board. (dongleware anyone)
No wonder laser shows have progressed so slowly. There is no open source one upmanship in the developement circles. Everyone is building from scratch and trying to be best on the market. This makes the shows expensive and amaturish. Just immagine what serious hobyists could do with sharing shows. There would be plenty of great stuff. As example check out some of the great things done with MIDI, clip art, photography, freeware, etc. If all that was avaliable for "shows" was pro written, then all shows would have the uniform feel of a Microsoft Power Point presentation. Anybody else seen all the Microsoft clip art yet. True not everything freeware/opensource/royalty free is fantastic, but you could find just about whatever you need without having to write it from scratch.

Yes but it uses a different media. You can not put a SONY minidisk in the dirve a record it.

Dude, I bought stock. I like stuff that apreciates. Pre split it was $17.00 4 years ago. Today it's $45. I'm buying a moterhome.
Well we know what this years furfy craze is. Thanks for letting me know.
