In fact I have an idea that may be shocking for hardcore UNIX guys (stop reading if you want to sleep tonight): why not replace the syntax of programming languages like C and Java with XML equivalents. The reason I would want to this is that XML is extensible so you could add meta tags to it. Imagine having author tags, documentation tags (in many flavors), etc in your code. The possibilities are endless.
Have you ever programmed in java or C/C++? I would think using replacing the standard syntax would be insane. It already works well. Its not like you cant stick a few Meta tags in the comments section, if you want. Also, while XML might be great for describing data in both human, and machine readable format, it would not make a good programming language.
Scripts on web pages already use the standard C/C++/Java style syntax, and for good reason, people already know it, 'replacing' the language would cause millions of programmers knowledge to become completely obsolete over night "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
not you want are mips, or just ips, istructions per seconds. a modern day CPU can do 3 or 4 ops per second, depending on the persentage of catch misses and stuff as well.
so a PII/III or athlon could probably run about 4*clockspeed instructions per second, so a athlon 800 could do about 3200 mips.
I would say that there are probably about 230 useable characters in a password, although most people use far less (I'd guess about 40 - 80 depending on weather or not they used mixed case, like there supposed to).
now, it would take far more then a single cycle to run the encryption on the password to check it though "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
I wonder if this means that a large company, such as Microsoft could simply have all the major law firms under constant retainer. It wouldn't cost *that* much compared to the billions of dolars rolling in, and it would insure that only crappy law firms could go up against them.
If I ever get to be a billionare mogal, I'll have to remember to do this:) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
sales taxes tax those who spend the most... Much fairer if you ask me. not quite, beacuse poor people will end up spending almost all of there money. if sales tax is at %6, then most poor people will end up paying about %6. whereas rich people will pay less than %1. that dosn't seem very fair to me (and if sales tax were %20 as would be nesisary to fund the whole nation...) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

If you just want to get the films in a digital format, you can get a cheap television card for you're computer, and capture the videos in raw video format and then convert them to MPEG.
I don't know about spesfic software, but I know it's posbile to make an MPEG so that you can burn it directly to a compact disk as a "VCD" VCDs are popular in asia, and work in standard DVD players. CD-Rs arn't really as stable as regular CD-ROM disks. The data aria is right on the 'top' of the CD. Once, while trying to was the lable on a CD-R disk, i washed the data right of the disk!
Some CD-Rs are better. If the data is really that imporntant, you might want to make multiple copys of the CDs and keep those in a dark, dry place.
Its not really hard to get video and audio onto a computer "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
If you're running an OpenBSD box, it probably can't be cracked, assuming the 'line by line' security audit is real (of course that is a big asumtion). I've heard a lot about c2 security ratings, well in order to get a 'class A' security rating, the security must be in the hardware and mathimaticaly proven. (the hardware also needs to be deliverd under Armed Guard).
I don't know how many people would want to mathimaticaly prove a couple million lines of code, but it's posible to do.

Come on, This isn't the "cyber war" we've been hearing about, Both of the servers were *hosted in the US* at least when I tried to tracerout them (well, dawn.com was connect through a company called cybercron.com 'Fast reliable low cost dedicated server hosting for UNIX and Windows NT ')
And armykashmir.org (hardly sounds like an official government site) was connected through Verio. (btw, does anyone know who these 'verio' people are? I saw an add for them in AOLim, and I've been seeing them in my tracerouts all the time now (I don't use AOL ether))
"Cyber war" in my mind would be disrupting critical systems, and breaking national infrastructure. Not petty vandalism against a couple of boxes hosted in the US. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
I'd be willing to bet that you'd have to wait a very long time for those results, like 10 or 20 years. by that time, the results would be completly useless. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
