    So a Linux user, who goes out of his way to find a dialier so he can dialup to AOL and use the internet is going to get confused if this program is endorsed by AOL or not?

  7. Re:learn to play the patent game on What Would You Do With a New Form of Encryption? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    my guess is his encryption would probably turn a 5meg zip (a couple pdfs describing his work)
    into a 1-20gig file
    then he uses the cd key (a 700meg key file) to decrypt the data, and retrives the 5meg original file

    so I don't think he'd go the usenet route because I believe his encrpytion makes the file to large.

    I've set which WEP key to use in my linksys WAP. I forced it on key 1. I then took the hex key it gave me and put that in for the password in the wireless network. For some reason I can't use the passphrase and let it adjust. Hope this helps, it works for me at least.

    If windows is so user friendly, then why do pc repairmen exist that just come to fix when nannys computer won't open her document because the directory that normally opens is differnt, and she can't find it.

    or when the resolution is set to 600 and she wonder why everythings so big, or to small.
    or how to set up the modem so she can use the net

    or how joe-buisnessman wants to resize an image because the one he made is to big

    or how sue internet can't install her home networking because its to complicated

    or how to take digital pictures of the digital camera that you just baught your dad for fathers day, but the 10 steps to move them from the camera takes so long to remember

    or how any other small tedious thing can't be done because there are too many point and clicks away
    "right click there on that computer thing, go to the C drive go to your documents, find the file that says "my money.doc" and then open it by double clicking on the file"

    windows is far from easy to use
    just like any new thing a person learns
    thats why there will always be people to help them learn

    Linux is just like windows
    but instead of double clicking the program to install it, clicking various buttons that randomly move
    you have to either type a few words that are easily writeable on paper, or have the same person who repairs your computer install the software they would of been installing anyways
