I didn't see any posts that said something like this, but forgive me if I missed one.
What if there was a site within each country that users could create an account on using some sort of national identifier (drivers license, ssn, *something*) that you then install a toolbar and meta flag sites you stumble across- one entry per account per site, but can be updated. Each country uses their own database. Browsers could then query the db and the number of entries for each flag type and make a decision based on it. Eg dont show a site if there are 100,000 entries marking a site as porn.
Im sure there are complications and what not, but thats just a general guideline.
I just got a loan to consolidate my debt. I'll be paying $20k worth of credit card debt in the next couple days. Each card will probably send up a red flag since all Ive been paying lately is just the minimums.
If they show up, I'm going to fight them- to whatever end. Somehow, I doubt they will though.. just a hunch.
Though, Andrew Griffiths seems just a wee bit close to Andy Griffith.. Wonder if Andrew Griffiths itself is a pseudonym? Maybe this guy's more covert than it seems on the surface?
Technically, it is an anagram, which is simply a rearrangement of letters. This particular rearrangement had some order to it. Perhaps he arrived at it by rotating through combinations of his name and stopped on gwerdna without realizing it. Either way, it remains an anagram- and like I said, a poor one at that (for protecting his identity at least).

multi-homing originally meant being connected to more than one backbone. Regular folks started applying the term to their desktops. I'm talking about the network core, thus the first part of my post.
Anyway, yes, I was envisioning some router on the backbone having multiple interfaces and the rest of the internet trying to keep track of all of the paths with keep alives (yuck!).
When I asked if I missed something, I was truly looking for more information. Apparently, I lack the understanding of how BGP actually works, is it in TCP/UDP layer or the IP layer?
Didn't know about CDbaby, maybe I'll have to get some of my own stuff on there.
I'm not an apologist for the labels. I think the whole purchasing/distrobution system is outmoded and in danger of destroying itself, but certain aspects of the label's existence really can help make band happen, even with a group like CDbaby around to get you published.
Multi-homing with a builtin heartbeat? Youd need a routing table the size of the planet if you wanted to do that over the backbone infrastructure- not to mention gigabytes of wasted bandwidth. Did I miss something?
labels -are- useful in some/many aspects. They do hunt for talent, provide resources for recording, orchestrate tours and publicity, and provide financial backing of upstart groups.
A group of talented individuals can certainly gather their own resources and make their own connections and get their own loans, but the odds of a bank financing a fledgeling music group or being able to get a booking at a big venue or get you airtime on a hundred stations by making one phonecall are pretty slim. Admittedly, the labels have connections and can get things done more easily and if the label is willing to back the singer, then the people that deal with the studio and band will trust their judgement.
An artist can certainly get their music recorded in a garage or even a studio if theyve got a few bucks, and release it on the net- but try getting your song available on iTunes. There are songs from real, popular bands that aren't on iTunes, why should I be able to find a song by Joe Schmoe's Band? Getting a booking for a little band is tough too. You pretty much have to have someone whose heard your music recommend/suggest you, which makes a chicken and egg deal for a new group. Labels get your foot in the door because they trust you.
Adding something like that to the algorithm would totally ruin the algorithm's security (aside from the well-hidden backdoor) and chances are a thorough known plaintext attack may eventually reveal the backdoor.
The only really 'good' way would be to securely upload typed keys to a server somewhere at some random interval (perhaps every week or two). Which would let law enforcement in without 'compromising' the actual algorithm.
ability to view the supposed source and ability to put said source to use are required. If you can't verify that the source you're looking at is the source used in the binaries you're using, there's zero point. Chances of MS releasing enough source to be able to rebuild aspects of windows- most likely a few steps shy of zero, at least for now.
i should add, if a couple million writes is true, even if you were to randomize or even out the bits algorithmicly, I still would be afraid of failure.

apparently, thats the guy. mystery solved. (link below with the screenshot just about cements it)
really. I never noticed that.

I wonder if the hacker's name is Andrew G. by any chance?
P ublicProfile?gid=gwerdna
What kind of hacker do you suppose he is? gwerdna is a pretty poor anagram of Andrew G.
If that's not his name, it's fairly random.
He's been using it since the end of 2004 at least. http://p212.ezboard.com/bnendowingsmirai.showUser

This is the reply I was looking for! Thank you.
