First of all, it's a 40bit encryption. That's too less anyway.
So, every licensee gets a unique encryption key. Instead of cracking (or in this case, _reading_) the encrypion key, why not offer some employee at Real (or any licensee) some money (or free pizza, whatever the person falls for) and get the key.
If this whole DVD system is based on the fact that licensees should keep their keys secure, this encryption is bound to fall, either through bribe or the employee in question just gives the key to a couple of his closest friends, which give it to... well, you get the point.
Or even better: TTA's, the ultimate RISC. A TTA is a transport triggered architecture and specifies datatransports with operations as a sideeffect, (instead of the other way around). So instead of
add r3, r1, r2
you do
mv r1 to add_unit mv r2 to add_unit mv add_unit_result to r3
True, 3 opcodes instead of one, but how simple! And if you put a lot a parallel transportbusses in the chip, let's talk about really more parallelism, lookahead features and pipelining!
... because all of the claims are limited to "ordering" and "purchasing."
Then take www.buy.com as an example. They have my billing, shipping AND creditcard info stored and I click only once to log in when I checkout my shoppingcart.
X crashes a lot on me. OK, It's probably the crappy app I programmed myself, with the huge memoryleak, but...
I couldn't get out with CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-BS or sysrq-K or R. Logging in remote said X did die, but the screen still showed my frozen desktop. sysrq-(nice sequence to sync,unmount,reboot) worked, tho, but when I can't restart X anymore, that's about the same as "bring Linux down" for me.
Still, it was my own crappy X app, but that did bring down my X server. Too bad an app can bring down the Xserver
I really vote for being unable to post if you haven't read the article:
11. A method for ordering an item using a client system, the method comprising: displaying information identifying the item and displaying an indication of a single action that is to be performed to order the identified item; and
or even:
18. The method of claim 11 wherein the single action is a sound generated by a user.
So, your the same guy as the poster of the much disputed comment #9.
First, why post as an AC? This anonymous thing doesn't do much good for your credibility.
Second, you seem very pissed because DCTI didn't listen to you over a year ago. handle sticking name in credits, the must know everything I guess
Why this attitude? As suggested, write the white paper. Hang out in #distributed on EFnet, maybe submit your ideas again. You seem very interested in distributed computing/security, otherwise you wouldn't have taken the effort to rewrite that v1 client. If you really want to see DCTI to go forward, be more helpful and cooperative. Afterall, even DCTI is only human and it's possible your suggestion just slipped through.
Hmm, Amsterdam has these things for years now. And no, they are not useful, other than to spend a few cents to let it display _your_ homepage before walking away.
IR port for cheating? Noone I know has built that IR-booster. But we all DID use the port to exchange all those 50k textfiles with sometimes integral copies of important chapters of the textbook.:)

Of he wouldn't do it this way, putting that key unencrypted on the disc.
But secretly writing it down as a zipcode or a phonenumber in his Palmpilot, which will be read by Agent X in restaurant Y.
Etc. etc.

Does Spain own the Americas?
No, and neither does Italy. (Italy, more specific the countryside of Genua, is where Columbus came from).
And I'm sure the original Indian tribes put some flags somewhere, or the Normans, or...

It's the logical step after CISC, RISC and VLIW!

And what does it matter what their names are when they don't come when you call for them, anyway
oz, gallon, doublequart.....
WHEN will you guys learn how to use SI, just as the rest of the world (Europe!)
FWIW, I drink 2 litres of coffee a day.
Sometime the sysrq have an even higher priority than CTRL-ALT-something.

So one just hopes that your favorite emailreader/unencrypt software doesn't use some /tmp file for storing the plaintextmessage.
Not to mention "sudo"
Yeah, Travolta rocks.
No, Burger King is just Burger King in France.
But I also wonder what it's called in Australia.
P.S. As a real Dutch guy I can affirm that fries with mayonaise are indeed delicious and that we don't eat them any other way.
Oh?
.net/.com/.org rules are obeyed.
Since when is slashdot an organization with as _primary_ goal "making profit"? (the one reason that defines a company as for-profit).
The ads?
I find that most of the time, the

Oh, and what exactly is wrong with being Dutch?
And anyway, Holland Michigan is AFAIK a US "spinoff" of the Netherlands (which, of course, rock).
If only there were some way to hash an easy-to-remember name to an IP
Everyone should have DNS anyway. Hooray for -DPARANOID
