Sir it's always good to see another of the same persuasion and I fully endorse your article and I would ask you to do the same for my reply to this heresy. Here is what I told these man-made global warming denial morons just a few minutes ago countering their childish theories with sound science-inspired deep thinking on the matter:
As far as your latest apologist whacko theory is concerned, it is more than obvious that vast amounts of CO2 and Methane are carried away from Earth's atmosphere by solar wind into space where it is deposited on the other planets of the solar system. That's why we're losing the martian polar caps! It's YOUR IMMENSE CARBON FOOTPRINT that's causing it so WE REALLY NEED THAT CARBON TAX YESTERDAY!
I can't wait for the day we can take them to court for their hate crimes and then lock them away for good.

Your SUV is consigning the solar system to a fiery death.
I think it would indeed be a good idea to have a simple checksum in there to reduce typos and frustrartion, in effect have a random key and a byte's worth of checksum.
As far as certainty for the user is concerned as to what happened, the server could issue certain error messages like "This registration key is not valid!" or "I am having problems right now validating your key but that's not your fault, try again later" and of course: "DIE, PIRATE SCUM!"
1. Alice generates temporary session key 2. Alice encrypts temporary session key using Bob's public rsa key 3. Alice sends encrypted temporary session key to Bob 4. Alice and Bob now use the temporary session key for all further
communications. 5. Evil Marvin (the listening dude in the middle) does not profit.
random session numbers and timestamps do their part to prevent replay.
I see no reason why they even have an algorithm to check whether a key is valid before submitting it to their server for signing.
If I were them I would do what prepaid mobile phone has been doing for years: generate completely random keys and at the signing server end just check if that key is in the database and if it's not already used. If that's the case then all they would have to do is sign the key and the computer configuration and return that to the client code that would in turn check if the signature is valid.
That way there would be no way to brute force keys because they have control over the validation server and can put a stop to that and there is no key validation code exposed from which someone might derive a key generator or at least get hints at how the keys are distributed in key space.
I can back that. Wasabi as we know it is a dry sticky paste and not a fluid. What I usually do is take a little bit of it and try to dissolve that in soy sauce.
Since this is a largely non-political item we can more or less trust Wikipedia here to which we turn and find out that the Wasabi we're served in the US and in most japanese Sushi bars is not the real McCoy but indeed horseradish with green food coloring. Real Wasabi aka as hon-Wasabi in japanese is more expensive.
So if we're fed ersatz-wasabi on the ground, what was really in that fateful tube of NASA wasabi is most likely not known outside NASA's human experimentation department.
Ignorance burns? I suppose life is pretty tough with such a disability like yours. As ignorant as you are I suppose you can only feel save while immersed in the bath tub.
Groan. Television sets weren't made just for the reception of BBC broadcasts and just because it potentially receives state television programming because the state does not bother to protect the signal should not make you owe them extra money for their propaganda, certainly not if you don't watch it.
The obvious thing to do would be to scramble their signal, but then subscriptions wouldn't come anywhere near the forced collection scheme as most people wouldn't bother with the BBC and get a subscription to Sky paytv instead. This is a problem in most European countries who more or less all have government owned and operated TV networks and private competition, notably among those Germany, that operates its opinion outlets on exactly the same forced collection scheme.
Oh and btw.. BBC "subscribers" get free clairvoyant reporting with their "subscriptions"
Obviously the BBC reported the collapse of WTC7 26 minutes before it happened. Slashdot's political moderation posse didn't find it worthwhile and modded it down within two minutes of me posting it but you might still want to see the BBC's latest "cock up" (their words) on youtube and video.google.com:
Oh boy they're really "upset". The parent post got swatted down to 0 within two minutes of me putting it up, five minutes later when I checked back again it was down to -1. Now in a thread that _already has_ a parent at -1 which means few people will actually ever read this I get all my follow up posts modded down.

No. They don't screw up on the hard facts. They screw up on details. In this case they didn't get the timing right.
--"in this case someone at the BBC either heard something along the lines of along the lines that build 7 is going to collapse and then accidentally had it reported as 'did collapse', or maybe they just mixed up which buildings were gonna collapse."
Very funny. Actually this reminds me of the Bruce Willis movie where he plays a cop who catches his best friend hiding in the closet in the bedroom. "No, no, it's alright, I know what happened, it isn't your fault. You just tripped over the carpet here, stumbled, fell on my wife and your dick just happened to go into her. It was an accident". (From what BW movie is that scene??)

Mod me up, mod me down, tell me to shutup or give me nazi looks and frown.. Since slashdot isn't going to carry this voluntarily we'll just have to find a place for it.. and talking of having a bad week this certainly sounds like a valid venue.
If you think Symantec had a bad week, you should stick a finger into the hot water the BBC is boiling in right now as I'm typing this:
First they report the "collapse" of WTC7 26 minutes too early with the building still visible in the interview.. then on monday that was discovered and exposed.. and then all they could come up with was a lame excuse they lost the tapes they had of their 911 coverage.
All in all it was also a very busy week for video.google.com and youtube deleting the videos exposing this maximum faux pas.
But don't take my word for it and instead check out the facts yourself:
Here's an excerpt from that reply: 4. We no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage (for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy). So if someone has got a recording of our output, I'd love to get hold of it. We do have the tapes for our sister channel News 24, but they don't help clear up the issue one way or another.
5. If we reported the building had collapsed before it had done so, it would have been an error - no more than that. As one of the comments on You Tube says today "so the guy in the studio didn't quite know what was going on? Woah, that totally proves conspiracy... "
They (THE BBC!) says lost their tapes of the 911 coverage and they'd like you to help them out.
Another interesting fact you should keep in mind is that buildings can not be "pulled" or demolished by explosive within mere hours. It can't be done in one sunny afternoon, it takes at least a week of careful planning and preparation.
I know what you're talking about, we did that a lot in the 90's and it was a lot more social meeting face to face with people. And you know you get to meet people and you help them out and then they help you out.. Like with my notebook lately, it has sometimes problems starting up with new tunes and a friend of mine will hook it up to his notebook with what I believe is a starter cable and jumpstart the music machine or the movie engine. Then sometimes its his laptop that has novelty stalls from time to time and then we hook them together again with the starter cable.
Okay this is a no-brainer but of course there is an easy and convenient way to put a stop to Myspace. If your employees are a dime a dozen then simply audit employees web usage and then fire those who continue to visit Myspace.
Now of course if you for some reason value your employee because they're from a hard to get group that actually does real work at the low wages or petty salaries you're paying and you'd still like to keep them, then perhaps you will just have to ignore the fact that they're "wasting" some of the precious time for which you pay so little.
And on the other hand you value your employees and want to keep them and you're paying them decent salaries then why don't you just ask them to keep it down? For the most part these folks tend to listen.
Telekom has their hands in so many unsavory deals, just think of "Toll-Collect" the T-Systems operated Autobahn monitoring and automated Toll-Collection system so I'm sure they'll find a way around this too. One thing you can be certain off is that the additional capacity will not benefit the national internet infrastructure per but will then be rented out for example to digital view on demand pay tv services Telekom owns shares in.
I think you're referring to some formulation like "The Crown promises to pay the bearer of this note one pound sterling". Well they changed that. Now it says "The Crown will excise one pound of meat out of the backside of any serf who is foolish enough and has the gall to ask for silver in exchange for scrip".
One reason Microsoft wants to distinguish between a VM and real hardware is that you can easily observe and tweak a VM from the outside for example by changing memory or halting and resuming execution. That makes it easier for people to circumvent their "DRM" antics.
Another reason of course is that the same virtual machine can be copied and deployed a dozens of times thus circumventing their "Windows Activation" scheme.

--"If you do not know it already, I would recommend the book "The Phantom Time Hypothesis" [wikipedia.org] to you.

Interestingly enough I was thinking along the same lines today as far as "phantom history" goes and I'm still trying to recall the name of the russian author who I think picked up on Illig's work. This gentleman delivered a fine account of how China was discovered only fairly recently by the russian Tsar's army.
Do I believe a russian army expedition discovered China? No I don't. The idea is simply - to my mind - completely ludicrous and possibly there are some issues of national pride involved here on the side of the author. (Wouldn't it have been just as interesting to have Chinese ships sail all the way to the Danish coast to do trade with the Vikings in 700CE? Amber beads in exchange for ceramics and gunpowder?).
Do I believe history has been omitted on that large a scale? Not really. The task would have to be daunting. Take the cathedral in Cologne as an example. This structure wasn't erected over night and I wonder who supervised all the work men so they wouldn't scratch messages into the stones like "Down with Kaiser Wilhelm".
However do I believe history has been _tampered_ and distorted on a large scale? Yes I do. History gets rewritten over and over to suit social agendas. History gets written by the high and mighty, Cicero for one, or on behest of those in power. History is also prescribed by law and people have gone to prison or worse for not believing the official version of it. A very recent example is legislation that puts anyone in Europe into prison who dares to question the Holocaust.
So you see, even though I don't believe in the exact thesis of that russian gentleman that China was discovered by a russian army expedition, even though I don't believe that the medieval ages are an invention of the powers that are, I can certainly extrapolate from the politics behind historical accounts, from the utter gullibility of the "masses", to the eagerness to lie and distort as it suits their agenda by those in power. In that the works of Illig and the russian gentleman are very worthwhile if only they serve to make us question.
But we need to be a little more careful here and not confuse the issue here which is mainly about Cremo's work. In my eyes Cremo provides sufficient evidence in his research for others so inclined to pick up on and verify and that brings us to your last main argument?
