  1. Re:The Rewards of Text-Gaming on Infocom's Dave Lebling Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Ah.. A mind forever voyaging was awesome.. I had this years ago on the commie 128. I managed to get ahold of a copy, but I couldn't play it without the "secret decoder wheel". Anyone know if these games are in the public domain yet? And if so, where could I get a copy of the key wheel?

    >>USA & Israel are the big bullies in the middle east. Stop listening to your biased internal news reporting!

    Hi. I'm sick of my biased internal news reporting. Could you please point me to an non-biased news source? Or barring that, an externally biased news source. I might be cwazy (since I'm american and all), but I'm guessing everyone is biased one way or another. True objectivity is achievable perhaps only by God. Speaking of God, I was also under the impression that it's popular to hide behind him as justification for the massacre of people with differing opinions over there in the middle east. Again, if I'm wrong, please broaden my pathetically american horizons.

    Thanks =)

    if the first use of Oil was as a weapon, would we have the same sort of public fear over the resource?

    Funny, I thought one of the first uses of oil was as a weapon. At least I'm pretty sure people were pouring it over castle walls long before they started refining it and using it to power the internal combustion engine. I could be mistaken though.

    That sounds like an X-Files episode.

    No, I think he meant this.

    You might be interested in this. From who else, but the CDC.

  7. Re:Broadband on Dial-Up As De Facto Standard · · Score: 1

    Psst.. that's 5 megaBITs.. 8 bits in a byte=625KB/s. You're getting transfer speeds exceeding the advertised throughput rate of your line. But I'm sure your predictions are accurate. Ah, except there's this little group called the FCC which regulates thing like phone lines. You might have heard of them. They control things like frequency spectrums, and they say modems aren't allowed to use a higher frequency than that required to make a 53kbps connection. (Again, that's kiloBITs). It's not the technology, it's the government. Damn the man!

    Steganography is a fundamental part of encryption. There's neither nothing "new" about it nor anything that indicates -- BANG! out of nowhere! -- that it's on the "rise."
