"there is no way to break them if they are implemented correctly"
This is where the complancy I mentioned comes into play. Is your keychain stored on your hard drive? Do you overuse encryption giving more examples to work with? Are you careless about including a known string such as the same sig line at the end of each message? Does the unencrypted header give important clues to the context of the message? This is the kind of carelessness that allowed Allied codebreakers to work out the key for a given day, carelessness that was due to having an "unbreakable" code.
If you fail to follow good security measures encryption will only delay the time it takes to read your messages, while giving you a false sense of security.
Do Not assume the goal of a codebreaker is just to decrypt one message. His goal is to recover your personal key so he can read all of your messages, and recovery is made easier if part of the message is known, or if the keychain is directly accessed.
"4096-bit encryption, IMHO, won't be broken in our lifetime."
Isn't that what the Nazis said about Egnima? The Complancy that went with having an "unbreakable" encryption led to errors in procedure that aided in breaking it.
What sort of a looney tune are you? One who isn't an Anonymous Coward.
We have plenty of mechanisms to control other people's lives - the law, the cops, the state pen being just a few. The Control freaks aren't sastified (nor will they ever be sastified) with the current laws, the want "political reform", the buzz word for extending control, and they need an excuse to do it, hince all the BS about starving kids and the enviroment. They don't give a damn about the kids or the furbish lousewort, the only thing that motivates them is controlling other people.
You pay any bills lately? Surely you didn't sell yourself into the slavery of the electric company? You are full of it. Unlike the state, I can elect NOT to do buissines with my Electric CO-OP if I wish. Having someone else deal with the hassle of generating power is a convinence I don't mind paying for. I get a benifit out of it, which is more than I can say for statist plans to forcibly sieze my money or to control my life.
Oh the all wise and all seeing 00_NOP has decided that "political change" is needed because some people dare to spend money they have earned on something that he disaproves of!!
If some fool wants to spend a pile of HIS money on a stupid TV prop he has the RIGHT to waste HIS money without asking some would be slave master like 00_NOP
Can the bullshit about starving kids, they are just an excuse to cover your real agenda, control over other people's lives. Seeing a would be slaver hiding behind "morality" is almost as big a joke as your political ideas. Anyone who is willing to sell himself into slavery as long as he can have a few lesser slaves under him isn't worthy of the title "human"
So go stick your slaver fantasies up your ass, you pathetic excuse for a human being.
" Yes, that's right. When you express an issue of political concern that you don't like, it's a troll."
Feel Better? That is all the people who post drivel like this are looking for. A Quick dose of feel-goodism, WITHOUT the effort of actually doing something about those poor kids they pretend to feel soooo much pity for.
Hey you got your freebie good feeling in, how many of those kids got full bellies out of your worthless post?
IF you really care about those damn kids, then get off your lazy ass and do something to raise money to feed them instead of expressing hollow empty messages of "political concern" that are nothing but covers for envy that someone has the money to blow on something as stupid as an old TV prop.
People who PRETEND to be concerned about theose hungry children instead of doing something about it are the disgusting ones. Why aren't you out raising funds to feed the children instead of trolling Slashdot?
"mozilla.org may not have image rights to the green dinosaur"
Mozilla.org does NOT have the image rights to the green lizard, It's a Trademark of the Netscape division of AOL Time Warner. It was checked in by Error.
A More vexing problem is mozilla.org may not own the image rights to the red dino. It has been used since the start and is almost certainly the work of a Netscape employee, or an artist hired by Netscape. Bug 28028 has been open for over two years regarding licensing image rights for promoting Mozilla.
Even worse a check of USPTO records will show that the trademark "Mozilla.org" is owned by Netscape NOT by the group using the name Mozilla.org. The Trademark Mozilla was applied for by Netscape some years earlier but was rejected and that rejection is before an appeals board.
AOL is already towards changing from IE to a gecko based client, so it'll start showing up on AOL user's desktops (and the start menu, and the taskbar and anywhere else AOL can stick in an icon) by "default"
Other ISPs may start including Netscape7 or Mozilla customized for their service, so their users will find Netscape/Mozilla on their Windows boxes if they select the default install like most Windows users do.
"i never could figure out why the mozilla browser keeps switching from instant skin changing to skin changing upon reboot:
Because Parts of the old skin keep showing up in the new skin. This mainly happens when the old skin has a css rule that the new skin lacks. going to reboot flushes the old skin out of memory. They drop it to cut down on the number of bugs in an impending milestone release, then pick it up again later only to drop it again for another release.
"Should we link the fact that USA has been responsible for more killings (in war and military action) in the history of the World than any other nation to the fact that it was christian?"
The fact? ROFLMAO
Take a look at the number of deaths in the first World War prior to the US entry, the East European front in the Second World War, The Russian Cival war of 1918-1922, The Chinese front during World War II, the Chinese Cival war that led to Mao's victory.
In Addition, the USA has existed for 226 years, and was strongly isolationist most of the time until around 60 years ago. Claiming that in that brief time the US has surpassed the death toll of nations like France, England, Russia, etc that activally fought wars for centuries is an absurdity typical of the anti-Americam Bigots.
"The countries that suffer from "terrorism" are hardly the same as defenseless women."
Your anti-american agenda has caused you to lose sight of the fact that nations as varried as India, The Philipines, Nigeria, and Russia among others, are also undergoing Terrorist attacks from Islamic radicals.
Bigots don't need a reason to hate, they just seek excuses to justify their hatred. This includes the Klan, the Nazis, Al Qaeda, and the Anti-American Bigots who are ready to justify any action if it's aimed at the object of their hatred.
How would you react if this proposal was directed at "pirated" software instead of "pirated" music? If you were going to be forced to pay extra to compasate Microsoft among other "victims" of "pirited" software?
This is nothing more than a scam based on the use of force. KaZaAa gets the goldmine, they become the new RIIA while others get the shaft, being FORCED to provide a sleezeball virusware vender with files to download, FORCES you to pay them $$$ some of which may reach the artists after the new KaZaAa RIIA takes a healthy bite for "overhead", and FORCES ISPs to be KaZaAa's "bill collectors"
The "File Sharing" services are the one's who should be collecting fees from the people who download files. Of course this does present a bit of a problem since the majority of the people using the services are deadbeats looking to get something for nothing, but that is their problem, not mine.
Most Libertarians favor stripping Corparation's legal protection of it's officers and shareholders in at least some cases.
For example if your property were damaged by smoke from a steel mill you would have the option of suing the company (as you do now) or the CEO or one of the shareholders.
A class action lawsuit against the CEO that threatened him with personal bankruptcy would get his attention a lot faster than the EPA threat of fines his company would pay. All the stockholders would sit up and take notice if one of the shareholders got hit with a lawsuit against him personally for damages caused by a company he was part owner of.
Holding the officers and the owners (shareholders) of the company PERSONALLY liable for damages caused by thier company would be far more effective at stopping irresponsible behavior than a goverment agency that can be bought off.
Netscape 5.0 was under development, when the decession was made to go opensource. A pre-alpha of NS 5.0 was the code that was turned over to Mozilla.org in March of 1998. In October of 1998 the 5.0 base was scrapped, in favor of Gecko.
There WAS a Netscape 5.0. It never reached Beta but it exisited. The Classic skin in Mozilla is based on Mozilla Classic, which was the 5.0 code. If you want a look at it the source is still avaible at Mozilla's ftp.
About all thats left of Netscape 5.0 now is the icons in the Classic skin and a directory called users50, So it makes perfect sense to call the new browser Netscape 6.0
Yes, But it is due today. see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/mileston es/index.html and we all know a milestone has never been late. So I'm sure it'll be posted later today;-)

That sound's just like the wifebeater's claim that the "bitch" deserved a good beating.
