There is another problem with using Cell phones (GSM phones, in any case) in airplanes. Because you move at such fast speeds, your signal will arrive later and will be 'stretched' due to the doppler effect. If you move too fast, you will even 'miss' your assigned time slot and jam out someone else!
This is why GSM phones can not and are not allowed to work at speeds over 250 kilometres per hour. I don't know if this is true for CDMA phones which are more widely used in the US (I'm from Europe) but I suspect that they would have a similar restriction.
I think the network will just ignore phones that travel over 250km/h and I have even heard stories that they can be remotely turned off.
On the other hand, I've been flying sail planes (gliders) and one of my instructors used his mobile at altitudes of about 1000 metres (3000ft) and it worked fine. This was in a very suburban area though with not many cells.
Does anyone have an idea whether the cygwin sshd is affected? 3.4p1 is the current version, and they may have built it based upon the trojaned source. I don't know where these guys get their source from.
Of course, NTFSDOS is incapable of showing the contents of the files.
With this I meant that NTFSDOS can not open encrypted files, normal unencrypted files on NTFS work fine, of course. Also, the link for this program is here.
Why do you choose not to use the EFS capabilities of Windows, which, to my knowledge, are very secure and transparent to the user (provided (s)he has permission to decrypt).
Well, as I recently found out, the Encrypted File System in Windows 2000 doesn't encrypt the file names. So if you want to use it to hide things like pr0n pictures or something, you're fucked:-)
Anyone who uses the brilliant NTFSDOS tool can access the encrypted directories and list all the file names, which in the above example would be things like 'bigtit001.jpg'. In that case the encrypted content doesn't need to be known to inflict damage, the filename is enough to piss off your boss/wife/whatever;-)

Interoperable email was solved by having each of the big boys (like Prodigy, Compuserve, and AOL) to agree on a standard.
As far as I know, SMTP was around before Compuserve, AOL etc. ever existed. It's not like they agreed on building it as a standard, it was already there. With so many people using it that they couldn't force their own proprietary protocols down everyone's throat.
There's not such a standard that predates all existing IM's, so I think it will be a bigger struggle to get to a standard this time.

TVs with the OS installed will be much smaller as they will not need a tuner, the sources said.
So replacing the tuner, which is smaller than a pack of cigs, with a CPU, motherboard, harddrive and memory will make the TV 'much smaller'???
high-resolution graphics of a television screen
I think they last called a TV screen 'high resolution' about 15 years ago.
Users will be able to store television programs in their PCs and watch them at any time and any place.
Any place? So you'll be able to login to your TV over the 'net? Or will the lack of a tuner make it so small that you can carry your 21" tv in your pocket?

I was just getting used to that, after the story on slashdot...
Good idea. If they crack it we'd have to arrest them when they visit, for violating the DMCA!
