hmm, i tried to mail that adress, saying that i just wanted to see what happens if i mail them, this is what i got back:

Too bad that it doesnt run debian, you could ssh into it, do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and not only would the greeting be updated, you can also fix the latest security problems.
... and when i hear this i am glad that i dont live there. Is it really that way over there? Here in germany (and other european countries also) its not that easy to cut wages, i have never heard anything like that before. Maybe its because there are contracts between the unions and the federation of employers wich regulate the wages. Even if the employees would accept less money, the unions would almost certainly not.
What have you done over there during the 1980s? And you cant fire employees from one day to another. Are we that socialistic?
But the rules of physics changed often during the centuries. Couldnt it happen again. Someone could come up with something much more sophisticated then quantum mechanics, a new model wich would allow to crack quantum mechanics. The end of physics isnt here yet.
Over short distances on the ground, quantum cryptography will be much simpler and cheaper. Wireless optical communication systems that span up to five miles are already in use as voice and data networks linking businesses, hospitals, and university campuses. It would be easy to add single-photon encryption to these systems, Hughes says.
Where not there yet, but maybe in 10 years you can get optical ethernet cards with quantum cryptograhy onboard everywhere cheap.

hmm, in europe we use the % symbol for that ...
I remember when those were called "databases."
that was wrong even then, its called "database management system (DBMS)"

Idea one: use knoppix, you can boot it from cd and use an usb-stick to store your homedir.
Idea two: buy a harddrive. A 20 Gig HD is probably the same price as a 1 Gig usb-stick.
defective RAM, that was fun
lost my system volume, reinstalled everything and after two weeks the same thing happened again
just dont send spam to anybody
if an do-not-spam list is enforceable this should be enforcable more easyly
hmm, i think they tried suicide several times
nothing happened
just charging 2000 $ wont stop the spam problem, when someone is caught spamming the domain has to be dropped.
.com, .net, .org or any other domain name when a spammer is caught?
then again, why cant we drop
when you start a job, dont you sign a contract in which is stated how much you have to work, what youll get for it?
I contacted Focus to ask, if this is a fake.
They only answerd:
Lieber Herr Burmester,
zumindest hatte im Jahr 1995 Focus ein Interview mit Bill Gates im Blatt
(Heft 43).
Schöne Grüße,

In English:
There was a Interview with Bill Gates in Focus in 1995 (Issue 43).
So no real answer
This was discussed here before,
but in the meantime Apple has introduced safari wich has a smarter back button
DALnet hardly exists anymore, so whats the point?
maybe you can use httptunnel, then you can use real ssh trough http
Yes, but only if some idiot installs it and doesnt protect it via htaccess and password
this thing makes a webserver not less secure than without this thing, although this shoulnt be installed just for fun by somebody who hasnt got a clue
you really want to use it via https, if thats not yet implemented in the client they should do it
nice idea
I mean, it looks better than the average Windows notebook, but it cant really compete with an Apple notebook. It looks good, but not that good.
Has it been mentioned, that it runs Windows...?
Too bad that it doesnt run debian, you could ssh into it, do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and not only would the greeting be updated, you can also fix the latest security problems.

Who is destroying anything? These Geeks just enjoy finding these Networks and use them maybe for a bit websurfing. The real dangers are to come.
And WLAN isnt destroyed, as much as i know, you can secure a WLAN properly.
But there are open WLANs wich can be easily hacked by crackers. You wont change anything by keeping silent about this.
There was death penalty on listening to an british (enemy) radio station during the war in Germany. So much about flow of information.
Sorry, i meant the 1880s

No, as far as i understand you can only read the message if you have the key. And you have only one chance to try.
Read the article, it says something different:
Over short distances on the ground, quantum cryptography will be much simpler and cheaper. Wireless optical communication systems that span up to five miles are already in use as voice and data networks linking businesses, hospitals, and university campuses. It would be easy to add single-photon encryption to these systems, Hughes says.

Who knows
Could states outlaw this?
Or is this so complicated that only states and not criminal indivduals can use it?
