  1. you would have to copyright on FBI Wants to Tap The Net · · Score: 1

    Everything you do is already (c) the creator, under international copyright law. I guess you could add `(C) 2001 yourname` if it makes you feel better.

  2. Re:Explain this? on FBI Wants to Tap The Net · · Score: 1

    Yeah, probably better to arrange (via phone) to use a cd (music, or data) and XOR your data starting with some pre-arranged offset, like a one time pad. Works best if you burn and hand out cds with 650 megs of random data to your friends though. Packet sniff that.

  3. Re:Get in the habit of using Crypto now... on FBI Wants to Tap The Net · · Score: 1

    >Prevent anybody from using strong encryption

    I`m using it. I like in Europe and am just doing as the EU have suggested. Am i a bad person? Should i stop listening to my elected EU politicians and start listening to the FBI? Hmmm, well i`ll have a think about it but i wont promise anything!

  4. Re:URL for Above Story: The Daily Telegraph on FBI Wants to Tap The Net · · Score: 1

    oh yeah, thats the site with a `search` button which isnt actually a button!

  5. Hidden messages on DMCA Forces Cox To Censor Changelog? · · Score: 1

    "Unix-style permissions could be used as an anti-circumvention device"

    Yeah..and if you list all the files, and use the file attribute flags on each file, 4 bits per file, you can clearly see it says "DEATH TO THE INFIDELS!"

  6. Re:Wooden boxes on Wood PCs For A Nepalese School · · Score: 1

    Actually, i think the Amiga cd-32 prototypes were a circuit board nailed to a piece of wood.

  7. I made a wooden pc once. on Wood PCs For A Nepalese School · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wooden keyboard, wooden ram... looked nice. The only problem was....it wooden work!

  8. Re:Interesting comment in related news... on Microsoft's Future · · Score: 1

    I dont know. You often get similar moronic ranting from both AOL users and OSS activists, so....

  9. Re:Procmail on EFF speaks out against MAPS · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. Maybe if they let you automatically dump the BulkMail shite, which is usually spoofed to look like its from a yahoo.com account anyway! Better off getting a hotmail account and setting it to max security - only accept mail from people in your address book!

  10. Re:to no end on MS DRM Version 2 - Cracked · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Its you against 5 moderators, buddy! :)

  11. Re:Careful! on Neighborhood Area Networks? · · Score: 1

    My NAN didnt like MP3`s. She thought they sounded a little lacking in the bass department. My UNCLE however, loved his MP3 Happy Hardcore compilations.

  12. Re:huh? on Ellison's ID Card Plan Gets More Attention · · Score: 1

    Whats the point in any sort of ID card. They`ve got `em in Europe, and i believe, although i stand to be corrected, that they still have all the same sorts of crime which its suggested ID cards in the States and the UK will solve.

    So...which problems will compulsary id cards solve?

  13. Re:And asphalt.... on Space-based Power Generation · · Score: 1

    "X% of the road surface is covered by traffic?" Approx y% of the time, where y ~2.

  14. very second that they have a security breach on Microsoft: The Gatekeeper of the Internet · · Score: 1

    You are kidding. They`ve had loads of breaches in the past - the whole world heard about the various LookOut problems - but nothing changed then. What makes you think the inevitable problems in this system will be any different. If anything they`ll have more chance to wriggle out of it. OutLook is their software - this is `the internet`!
