Having worked overseas I can understand how unimportant Australia is and how far we are away from the rest of the word so before you all trivialise my comments I would like to say is that a lot of Australians have sat up till 3 and 4 am (AEST) watching the coverage from CNN and abc. We care, we are hopping mad! A lot of Australians will loose friends and love ones over this. And today our government will debate enabling the ANZUS treaty which will put our country very close to a war footing.
Right will overcome these maniacs and their supporters..
It is a sort of exploit, but it goes close along the lines of "well what happens if the hacker calls halt on the machine and dumps memory" like any program can do anything much about that..
If you have people capable of reconstructing passwords from key timings then you have got yourself a problem.
What I find interesting is that you gameing people are having a cry over lack of bandwidth, but just think what your traffic is doing to the internet ingeneral. Game traffic is essentially a waste of good bandwidth and all for no usefull purpose.
And while you can all flame me for saying this there are a lot of network engineers out there who will agree with me.. The Internet is not a toy.

That could do realy sad things to sites that employ a system to prevent replay-attacks. Not to mention consume bandwidth and increase the chances of you getting to read perfectly cached out of date data..
Good Idea, but I think if would be better for people to focus on things like harware driven compressors to on-the-fly gzip up webpages before sending them to the host and expanding HTTP to handle these sorts of things...
I think a partially compressed format would be interesting... EG
<COMP method="gzip" size="14842">
--- The Data ---
</COMP>
Nesting these would not be a problem...
But what the hell, no one would vote for me anyway.....
So what if they embed it wondoze, it is not going to stop the dedicated music cracking professionals. It will have the same non-effect as adding extra sync pulses to video signals so that the VCRs loose sync.. There was a similar thing done with DAT and a local a kit was soon available from EA (Electronics Austraila) to, on the fly, remove the security..

While it is very sad that the space shuttle was destroyed during take off. You have to ask yourself has the attitude the puts politics before sound engineering changed. Look at Ford and their dangerous car design..
The next big disaster is going to come from Airbus and their new big jet.. Why? Because politics is determining that it must be made in sections (like rocket boosters) all over europe. The body of a plane or the body of a rocket booster must be made in one section and in one location by one team of engineers. And if you dont believe me ask four people to each make a paper tube 1.5" in diameter and 6" long and then ask a another person to try and join them together...
Hi, why dont you develope it further, and develop an application in say "JAVA" (not that I am biased) so that people can surf your books. Rig it up so that they pay a subscription fee and they can do all the readling they like... You have all the resources you need, ie A WEB SERVER.

It is not very difficult to do that, well not as far as the Chinese Government are concerned. They have a lot of poeple who have government sponsored time and internet connections to search the web for anything that may need blocking. The last thing that China needs is suddenly growing levels of education and world general knowledge.
It needs to happen slowly.
If china had a revolt and the existing structures fell apart, large sections of its population would start to go hungry. Hungry people are like scared people (Isralies) they go to war quickly.
So let them block the internet what harm can it do, none. The world needs to be introduced to the main bulk of chinas' people slowly or china will fall apart and that would be bad...
Oh, I am not a great fan of chinese way of government, I just dont see the need for lots of people to be put through the ringer for sake of adopting our western cultural ideas..

God save the Queen and God bless America!
That was written in 1999...
One would be able to suggest that things have changed a little since then..
Although java does use lots of memory..
But it is no longer as slow..

If you have people capable of reconstructing passwords from key timings then you have got yourself a problem.
The only solution is to inject fake data..

People dont look at applications in the same regard as webpages..
