A backdoor to a crypto cipher kind of makes cryptography useless. If the data was meant to be obscure to everyone, but a cipher contains a backdoor for anybody to attempt to exploit...then it makes the point of cryptography moot.
Have you also considered that the security of our nation could be put into jeopardy if, say, a (forgive me for using such a cliche) terrorist were to take advantage of such a backdoor?
No, really. A set of them, inflated with helium and suspended with cables...could make for quite the sound experience. Also imagine the possibilities of using them in urban areas in emergency situations where information may need to be conveyed to a large amount of people.
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.

Watch you flush it all away.
My foot! I used 3.1 on my Mac Performa 631CD, which runs with a 68040 at 33MHz inside. I think it was compiled as a FAT binary.
And yes, I think it's excellent that Opera is still provided as a 68k binary. It enables places like my old middle school to comfortably browse without the bulk of Netscape (which is much too slow for my tastes on my Mac).
Not that anything I said above means much, but backward compatibility is generally a Good Thing(tm). Up to a point. For example, do you expect anybody to be using Netscape 1.0 nowadays? No. Current web designing practices have rendered it useless, and people have moved on.
When I wrote everything in C, I had to pretty much 'make" everything (aside from input/output). The development environments of today come with preformed everything - they're more like point-and-click "development". You get a compiler for making web applications and you get a library to build from ---- a web application. Sure, you can make hacks of a web application, but try building a file browser out of those pieces. This in itself wouldn't be bad but it seems you can ONLY get these cheesy IDEs nowadays.
I really love looking at a PlayStation 2 in the dark. It reminds me of a photon light--The CD-In indicator stands out the most, of all LEDs glowing in my room (DVD player, stereo, computer, etc).
Ever think about how files are handled by a web browser? Web server? Well, although it's the webserver's job to determine a MIME type to put into the HTTP header response when sending a file, whether it be by determining the MIME type by extension or linguistic features (with file(1)), the web browser has to deal with it somehow.
Moot point, but it's something to think about. For those webservers that don't give a MIME type other than application/octet-stream for something like a tarball or a zip archive, it's left completely up to the browser to figure out what to do with the file--without any other data. In the case of Netscape Communicator on Windows, extensions come into play.
Whilst metadata in a file (or as a separate part of a file on a filesystem) is useful, it only goes so far. Extensions are still the most widely accepted way of determining file types--And yes, just like everything else, it has some security holes (double-extensions), but is generally a fault-proof way of doing things.
(P.S. Quite obtrusive to the Mac newbie, PC Exchange is very good about handling metadata when transferring files via VFAT/MSDOS disks. Just needs a bit of configuration and patience.)
Okay, fine, it's not in perl (bash, actually), but I wrote a slew of scripts for firing at people that appear in my logs (of course, nothing was really done other than enjoying seeing their cmd.exe).
Not much explanation is needed for hackiis, other than the fact that it probes a given host for the Unicode directory traversal weakness, checks for root.exe, checks for nc.exe, uploads it from a given FTP server, and gains a shell. (please edit hackiis). My default.ida will attempt to point whomever views it to goatse.cx (Change it if ya want, I couldn't think of anything else, hehe). Also change the $log variable to match your setup.
For some, it has a high lameness factor, but after
several days of seeing my logs grow past the 1MB
mark, I felt like taking advantage of it. Malicious? Not in my book. But highly entertaining in a sick, twisted way.
Also, under QNX, ls prints inodes that
start with a '.' anyways.
A somewhat off-topic note, the proc filesystem
drivers under QNX 6.0 are awkward--You can't chdir
to a directory in/proc, and then ls. You must do
'ls/proc/dirname'.
I dunno about the rest of the world, but speaking for the/. crowd (as well as the sick people that protest with 'AYBABTU' on Deer Hunter on Battle.net), but doesn't good ol' Zero Wing for Genesis deserve a bit of...Fame!?
As for me, I use CompactFlash cards to quickly swap OSes. Using a simple CF->IDE socket (http://www.pcengines.com/cflash.htm for the goatse.cx weary), and a 3.5" drive bay cover plate, I fashioned somewhat of a CompactFlash card slot. A 64MB CompactFlash card holds QNX, and an 8MB holds a small Linux distribution I hacked together long ago (http://www.phatboydesigns.net/mu2-embedded-2.3.4. tar.bz2). Too bad the IDE spec does not allow you to hot-swap (not that I would with a running box).
Sure, not as flexible, but it has plenty of coolness factor. I've also used the same Linux CompactFlash card in an mp3 player project I messed with last summer.

Suffice to say, United States laws that handle such matters may seem fair and legitimate, but they never seem to take into consideration the moral implications. Laws cannot bend and flex to an individual human being's circumstance. No, I am not saying that a killer under bully pressure should go unpunished, but I am not saying that the bully should go unpunished, either. The bully did not do tangible damage to anyone in any regular school shooting--Therefore, in my honest opinion, true justice cannot be served, only money on a shiny platter. I am not saying that any of this is right, I am only saying what is right in my mind. Thank you.

I like that kind of 'modularity'.

If I'm not mistaken, LinuxConf not only has a GNOME interface, but a Curses-based one, too.
Isn't there a Bourne shell script that generates this? Is it available on Freshmeat? And will it work under ksh? Thanks in advance.

The treaty will force all signatories (i.e. your government) to make illegal the 'import and distribution of devices used for hacking.'
Well, I guess that means...Great, UNIX itself! Just what if M$ is really doing this as a ploy to make all UNIX illegal? Heh, imagine that.
