  1. Re:Cryptlib contains code that violates GPL on Cryptographic Security Architecture · · Score: 1

    Um did you read the msg? I *added* test vectors to the code. So if anything my code is less likely to fail. Not only that but um, I do happen to have my own set of crypto functions which you have failed to find bugs in.

    So if I'm such a weak developer get a copy of libtomcrypt and let loose with the bug reports [in any public forum to show how bad I am].

    Fucktard, learn to read before you become a critic.

    Wonder no longer... This is what I wrote [and yes you may now feel stupier than you already are...]

    -----------------

    Hello, I'm new to the GNUPG devel scene and would like to contribute some
    patches

    http://iahu.ca:8080/mygpg_patches .tar.bz2 [MD5SUM
    8b2da885281114a5c0275ed7f954c878]

    The patches are to the files in the /cipher/ directory. A quick summary of
    the changes

    - Clean up the code, use portable load/store macros
    - Added test vectors to the hashes
    - Made all ciphers/hashes call test routine in their register function
    - Re-placed Rijndael with a much cleaner [and slightly more flexible] version
    - Added load/store macros to algorithms.h
    - removed burn_stack from each file and made one global copy

    The patches add two new files /ciphers/aes_tab.c and /ciphers/burn_stack.c,
    the latter has to be added [I dunno how] to the make system [I did it
    manually to test the build myself].

    I'd like to also contribute the following [depending on interest]

    - Fixed up Tiger with test vectors
    - WHIRLPOOL hash function
    - Cleanup to the MPI code.

  14. Re:What game? Me it's Ninja Gaiden on Xbox Price Drop To $149 Now Official · · Score: 1

    Why yes I have. Having an xbox and access to a local blockbuster I rented the game last week. It's a bunch of bounce off wall, stomp head, and cut'em'up action.

    As an example of "hard" consider the first boss [the dude with the nunchuck [sp?] action]. If you try to hit him dead on he blocks then proceeds to hit you like 9 times.

    The only way my buddy and I got past him was to flip off the wall and hit him as he turned around.

    Not only does stupid "hardness" like that prolong the game to artificially make it seem more developed [prince of persia comes to mind] but it also just makes the game frustrating to play.

    Good for them. they can keep paying high license fees, keep getting low quality products and whine when they get rooted and all their data "misappropriated".

    As for "write code for the network" that's a bit misleading. In about a week I can get a small office of computers setup with gentoo, configured with office tools, network printing, web server and cron jobs to automatically update the thing and email about troubles to the dude taking up the cto slack ;-)

    If a "HugeMegaCorp (tm)" decided to use Windows and wants to stick with it... good for them. As for the thousands upon thousands of small businesses the cost to move isn't as outrageous as MSFT would like people to think...

  17. Re:Mmmm. Nine-Part-Series on IBM's Linux Upgrade Roadmap · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah unfortunately this requires something Americans and most modern business-types don't have...

    It's called long term planning. Sure right this instant it may cost more to move to Linux from WinNT. However, what about when license renewal day comes around? What happens when WinNT is no longer supported [e.g. no patches for the day-to-day exploits?] etc, etc, etc...

    In the long run the average linux distro [say Gentoo] will cost a hell of a lot less.

    And hey, if it requires the users to learn a bit about computers is that really such a bad thing? I mean for the most part people can just use KDE and be happy for it. For other things they can learn the fun way, google for it.
