Another oddball way of conveying messages whether or not encrypted is to send a
message written in binary with something as lame as:
[sil@stigmata] echo "I need help with this math problem:
[sil@stigmata] 43 61 72 6E 69 76 6F 72 65 20 63 69 72 75 6D
[sil@stigmata] 76 65 6E 74 69 6F 6E 20 74 65 73 74 20 70 68
[sil@stigmata] 61 73 65 20 31 0A" | mail -s hello somebody@somewhere.com
Um ... that's hex . . .
Kinda hard to take the rest of the article as an autoritative source . ..
This "join venture" will house newer stuff, and not the old stuff that is housed on wiretap.
Unlike wiretaps, which is there mostly because copyright has expired, these works will be produced 'in the spirit of open-source' -- much like research papers are in the world of academia I guess.
Even if someone did port the WS Host and Outlook, this would NOT lead to virii of the same destructive force as on ms systems.
Linux, and Unicies in general, have much different setup in place and are designed for multiple users unlike DOS and its derivitive OSes which are still really only single user.
As long as file permissions are correct, and nobody is stupid enough to run Outlook as root, this won't be a large problem. Of course, who really wants to take the chance?
We can't be blinded by the fact that these are GHz chips. Who knows how good of a processor they are? When the WinChips came along, they tried to say that they would be able to create a cheap, competitive chip by just reving upthe speed and not adding any of the 'fancy' aspects of the other, high-end, processors from AMD and Intel (they offered a barebones processor, we're not talking about just no MMX or 3D-Now! or whatever).
How good are these processors, and are they just trying to win us over with large numbers?
And just as a side note: I couldn't help but read about where they've released their chips already and be reminded about the '16 processor hardware solution' for seti@home that appeared on/. earlier. . .
