  1. Re:Don't be afraid on How Much Does A Cloud Weigh? · · Score: 1

    I will remember those poor elephants next time I fly trough a cloud.
    I hope, the plane doesnt bump into one ;-D

  2. Re:3-ring binder... on How Do You Store Your CDs? · · Score: 1

    I use loose-leaf binders (for bank statements). They have app. 5" and can hold up to 30 CD's.
    Oh, btw., no, I don't keypunch my CD's, I use self-made paper envelopes. I have made a printers copy with all the marks for cutting, folding, staples, labelling and the keypunch. With these pre-printed sheets it is very easy and fast to create the necessary paper envelopes.

    Paper envelopes have a second advantage (besides being very cheap): They keep your CD's dry.

  3. A great deal of Asimov�s books are o.o.p. on Great Science Fiction that is Out of Print? · · Score: 1

    Just try to get books like the Foundation Novels (Prisoners of Stars, The Far Ends of Time and Earth, ...) or The Robot Novels, The Complete Robot, ...

    Just gone!!!

  4. They seem to be a bunch of frustrated ex.... on Swedes Say Recycling Wastes Time And Money · · Score: 1

    Lets see through the article:
    Former director-general of the government's environmental protection agency, former campaign manager for Keep Sweden Tidy, former managing directors of three waste-collection companies.

    I only read former, former, former. Perhaps I am wrong, but this sounds like an assembly of exwifies howling in front of their ex`s house.

    And even _if_ their arguments are rigth (wich I doubt), they have a very short-sighted point of view. They stand on the bottom of the bowl and are only capable of looking to the rim but cannot grasp that there is a wider horizon. They ignore the fact that one day there will be no oil to produce plastics, not enough wood to produce paper, ... (you get my point, I assume ;-D)

    Just my 2 ct

  5. The review is absolutly positive! on Mouse Not Required? · · Score: 1

    I dont know how Eneff comes to his conclusion, but here is what meettehgeeks says about this item: "10 out of 10:Its the Muttz Nutz ! "

  6. Re:Encryption or frequency hopping? on German Crypto Mobile Announced · · Score: 1

    No. Its real encryption, not frequency hopping.
    To cite: "...briefmarkengroßes Modul codiert und verwürfelt die ausgetauschten Daten so gründlich, dass selbst Geheimdienste nicht mithören können"
    Translation:"... stamp-sized module encrypts and shuffles the exchanged data so thoroughly thateven secret services cannot eavsdrop"

    Best regards

  7. Re:cannon fodder? on German Crypto Mobile Announced · · Score: 1

    It says that a new key is chosen each time out of 10^38 (i.e. 2^128) possible ones; no word on how it defends against eavesdroppers.

    The Phone simulates a normal phone call, but the encrypted data is sent via the data channel. The real "punching" part is IMHO the key exchange when a new connection is established.

    Sounds like it's actually only negligibly more secure than no encryption at all

    If the key exchange is solved secure enough you have only two ways to eavesdrop the call: A quantum computer or a good mike near the caller (ok, a third one: a bug in the phone.)
