on the cover of Time or Newsweek or something was one taken by a guy with an analog camera. After the Monica thing was public he went back and looked at all his negatives and found the image that made his career.
He said there were a ton of other photographers at that same meeting that probably took the same picture but they all had digitals and had long since deleted them.
If these bozos^H^H^H^H^H intellectuals were as smart as they claim to be they'd realize this is the 21st century and that the world needs better applications, not obscure OSs.
They ought to work on writing a decent text editor for linux.
Please mod me down as flamebait. I would like that a lot.
That's stupid. That would be like a terrorist calling up the FBI and saying, "I here's my name and phone number and proof of who I am."
If the FBI intercepted a message encrypted using a Thawte cert, even if they can't read the message they can read the certificate to see who it came from.
The whole point of a certificate authority is that they vouch for the identity of who the certificates came from, it's for the *receiver's* benefit, not the sender's.
I doubt any terrorists want to have foreign companies vouching for their identities.
I absolutely agree that the DMCA is wrong but this guy didn't help his cause by putting copyrighted software on his site.
It may have been copyrighted, by it's not as if the software being public was causing Sony any lost revenue. The SW is useless unless you buy the hardware from Sony.
If anything, the site would have made people more likely to buy Aibos if they would have fun hacking it.
You're absolutely right, I should have mentioned that.
Because France and Britain had suffered the most during the war (compared to the US) and their emotions were so strong, the Treaty of Versailles became the draconian sentence that spawned WWII.
I know the Afghanistan==Vietnam analogy has been made a million and one times, but consider this...
Machiavelli said when you vanquish a nation, you must kill it completely or you must kill it with kindness. To take middle road and leave it wounded but alive is suicide. It will come back for your blood.
WWII was caused because the Allies took the middle road after WWI. (WWI should never have happened in the first place but that's another story.) After WWI, Germany was left to pout by herself, poor and humilated. She was given time to raise a generation of zealots filled with hatred for the Allies. Hence Germany's receptiveness to Hitler, hence WWII.
The Allies learned thier lesson, however, and killed Germany with kindness after WWII. Germany and Japan are now two of the US's best and most powerful allies.
The lesson was forgotton by the time the Gulf War rolled around. The Coalition did not destroy Iraq's forces completely because then Iran would have moved in and the situation would have been worse.
It also didn't have the spine to impose national marshal law and try to improve the poor standard of living that had allowed a despot like Hussein to remain in power. So killing it with kindess was out as well.
Instead it took the middle road and left Iraq humiliated. It applied sanctions that assured millions or Iraqi children would grow up without food or education, or otherwise die needlessly; thus somewhat justifying their claim that the US is evil. Most of all, the move gave Hussien a common enemy against which he could rally all of Iraq, thereby guaranteeing his continued rein.
So here we are today reaping the fruit we have sown.
It is possible (although somewhat improbable) that we can physically destroy Osama's organization. However, in doing so we will be fanning the very fires that are burning us now. Osama and Hussein are only in power for exactly the same reason Hitler was. Their people are poor, humiliated and are reliant on thier governments for stability and information.
So long as they are poor and humiliated and all their information indicates the US is evil, we will have terrorists attacks. When we wage war there, all three of these things will be perpetuated.
The only solution is to improve the standard of living in these nations and do trade with them. Make them reliant on our money, not their government's guns.
Check out the other poster who mentioned layered encryption.
Also, they could easily hide encrypted messages within gif images or other media. There are many ways make it impossible to detect an encrypted message for all practical purposes.
These laws would make it difficult or illegal for innocent people to have private information, but would have no effect on criminal activity.
...because illusions are cheaper than the real thing and almost as effective.
The value of the US dollar is an illusion, not explicitly based on anything but the illusory values of other currency.
The new security measures they've put in place at airports are not more secure than before, they just provide stronger illusion. You could easily hide a knife in the sole of your shoe or elsewhere.
The US government inefficiently employs millions of people in needless jobs, thereby providing an illusion of stability.
Obviously US military security is an illusion if a jumbo jet can fly into its headquarters.
Belief in such lies keeps money moving and people placated, which are the two things that divide society from anarchy.
As long as an illusion holds, why take the effort to make it a concrete reality?
So let's pass this bill and perpetuate the illusion that governments can be trusted.
This test was just for jsps, I didn't test a static html page through them. However your comment makes me wonder if I should test using Apache+Tomcat for the jsps. Does anyone know if this would improve Tomcat's performance?

Why did this get modded down? I think it's pretty damn funny.

Your warez link doesn't work :(
If Osama was really crafty, he'd have his people here in the US lobbying for this bill.
It's either this senator's arrogance or ignorance that allows him to think US laws will affect criminals in other nations. Perhaps it's both.
Yeah, obviously W is a liberal media created myth as well. Who could believe a chimp could actually become president?
rotflmao
This sort of legislation will only hinder criminals that obey the law.
would love to get his hands on these back doors.
It would be funny if he has lobbyists in the US pushing for these bills.
This test was just for jsps, I didn't test a static html page through them. However your comment makes me wonder if I should test using Apache+Tomcat for the jsps. Does anyone know if this would improve Tomcat's performance?
I just did a very informal test of a few implementations:
Apache+jserv+gnujsp: 109.50 pages/second
Resin 2.0.2 standalone: 55.87 pages/second
Tomcat 4.0 beta: 24.65 pages/second
Tomcat 3.2: 10.08 pages/second
The page I tested was the hello.jsp one that comes with gnujsp. I'm on a PIII 800 with NT 4.0 using Sun's 1.3 jdk.
I used the MS stress tester with 10 threads and 10 connections/thread. (I was lazy ran the web server and tester on the same machine.)
Apache/jserv was the only one that got no errors during the test. The rest failed a few hundred times.
I did request the page on each server to compile the jsp before running the tests.
These numbers could easily be off by 25%. What's interesting is that there's a full order of magnitude across implementations.
This sounds like yet another attempt to give up personal privacy in exchange for a minor personal convenience.
This makes no sense, please post the bayesian rule you're using.
The way I see it, in a collection of 3 binary numbers these are all the possibilities.
case 0: 000
case 1: 001
case 2: 010
case 3: 011
case 4: 100
case 5: 101
case 6: 110
case 7: 111
Case 0 is thrown out because "You are told that there is at least one 1."
Case 7 is removed because "You choose one digit randomly, and are told it is a 0."
We can divide the remaining cases into two sets:
Set A={001, 010, 100}
Set B={110, 101, 011}
The probability of there being two 0's = 1/2.
The probability of there being two 1's = 1/2.
Please explain your reasoning.
