well, the pentium classic made it all the way up to 200mhz, I think.
The thing is, AMD always comes out with one system about a year before intel reaches the same version number. the k5 beat the 468, but it pailed against the pentium. The k6 beat the shit out of a pentium, but pailed in most cases against a p6 core. This k7 looks to kick a p6's ass, but I'd be willing to bet that the next get p7's will probably beat it...

Applied Cryptography is a novel now? There's more to this contest then cryptonomicon. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
How about revealing a ciphertext, plaintext and the algorithm and having people try to crack the key?
well, that would basicaly give the prize to whoever had enough CPU power to crack the code the ability to. and it would make for a pretty dull contest IMO.
You're second idea is a little better, but I think there going for somthing a little more 'historic', similar to the cyphers used before we figured out how to make unbreakable crypto (without quantum computers...). This is designed to be something that anyone can crack, not just the propritors of distrobuted.net.

I also realize that yes, commercial apps can be cracked... but hardly anyone has the source code for those...
yes, but some people do... personally, if I needed something to be really secure I'd probably use open source, or develop my own. Its not without precedent for commercial apps and OSs to have backdoors. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

The idea behind free software, is that when you come acrost a problem, if a solution dosn't exsist, you can code it.
Perhaps this is such a time. Someone needs to write it first, why not you? Maybe you can convince the "powers that be" to fund it? "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

I don't think he said NT was the best "GAMING" platform, just that it was the best to develop for. there's a big diffrence.

John Carmak is know for his candor, and If he says somthing, I'll belive it. If were to say somthing to the effect of "NT is better, but I use Linux beacuse I feel microsoft is evil" I would still respect him, but if he were to just FUD-over microsoft, I would not.
Also, it's posible that other people may not share the same ethical values that you do. The same person who dosn't whare Nikes beacuse of child labor consurns might still by microsoft products beacuse they just don't really care. I mean, microsoft can never take linux away from us.

And, it kind of makes sense, doesn't it, that with Microsoft's concern for things like DirectX on NT (Yes, I realize Quake uses OpenGL), that NT *would* make a good development platform for *games*?
Just a minor correction, but DirectX is a whole sute of game-centric toolkits. Though Quake2/3 uses OpenGL, it also uses DirectX for other things, such as Music and audio, as well as imput (though I'm it will work without those things installed)
what John Carmak dosn't use is the 3d portion of DirectX, Direct3d (everything's DirectSomthing, directimput for imput, directsound for sound, ect). Even if most games use OpenGL, windows boxen will still need the rest of DX if they want to use the latest games. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
