    You must improve your PWP so that it works on FagWare browsers such as Opera and Mozilla so that the GAY/Lunix crowd may enjoy your handywork as well. I upgraded to IE 6 because Windows 98 comes with IE 4 and I couldn't see it.

    Remember Kiddies: Join the I hate Klerck mailing list so that he will have more crapflood material to add to his PWP's!

    Learn about the many sources for Crapfloods, new and old, online
    or in print. Includes the use of basic text programs and scripts
    used to make one Crapflood fit all, from *BSD is dead to
    the random anal hijinks of the Slashdot staff. Effective for
    insanely stupid topics not worthy of a good Troll.

    BT 102
    Annoying Exploits
    Make use of stupid bugs to piss everyone off, including fellow
    Trolls. Some knowledge of Perl, C, Visual Basic, and Internet
    Protocols recommended. Web and IP proxies also discussed, as
    well as USENET and email servers. Computer lab course.

    Advanced Courses:

    BT 201
    Celebrity Impersonation

    Prerequisites: BT 100, BT 103, BT 106, BT 109

    BT 202
    Believable Misspellings
    Building on knowlege gained in BT 100, students will learn one of the key skills required to give their posts credibility. By showing blatant disregard to punctuation, spelling and the humble apostrophe, students learn to impersonate their fellow posters. This imitation proves invaluable in gaining their prey's trust, but only if done correctly. This course will teach students to look ignorant of their own language enough to fit in, but without arousing suspicion.
    Prerequisites:BT 100, BT 103
    Strongly recommended if taking BT 201

Just because someone disagrees with some of your opinions means they need to be blacklisted forever? Eat a dick.

    I've shit in a few strange places in my day. In HS I shit in a little used vestibule just outside the boys locker room. It was between classes, the bathrooms were decrepid, noone else was there, and I hadda go. A few days later I went back to admire my creation, and there was a footprint in it ... totally ruined. Some people have no respect for modern art.

    A couple years later I'm doing some laundry with a friend at 11 PM, and disposing of a 12 pack at the same time. No bathroom, and I gotta go #2 again. No problem. Grab some paper towels from the trunk of my car, walk around to the back of the building behind a dumpster and unload. By the time I head back in, my friends gotta piss. I toss him the car keys so he can use my flashlight to avoid the landmines, and off he goes. He comes back a minute later with tears in his eyes. I'm like, "WTF??", so he leads me back to the item in question: an absolutely perfect cinnamon roll cast in fecal matter. If only I had a camera...

    GAY/Emacs is the work of Satan. There can be only one text editor, and that will be Notepad. As soon as that's ported to *nix, I will continue using a functional OS*.

    *functional OS, in layman's terms, is an OS that allows you to do work without having a PhD in computer zealotry and/or 3 years to kill searching man-gina pages for the command line options to a stupid program and/or an asshole big enough to drive a truck through because since you spend all your time hitting C-x :w ZZ C-M-f-u-c-k, it's much easier to just have sex with a man.

    Oh yeah, this has nothing to do with tech stocks dragging down PriceLine, so don't even go there.

    But this isn't being encrypted, just masked with noise. The data is still there in plain taxt, just hidden with a bunch of random data.

  11. Re:Security through obscurity on Optical Cryptography · · Score: 1

    Ok, I have a third way now.

    Person 1 uses noise A to "encrypt" a message and send it to person 2. Person 3 intercepts this message, noise and all. Now if either person sends a message with this same noise through, person 3 would be at least get a fair idea what they were talking about in both messages. This is of course assuming that person 3 knows exactly when this specific communication is going to take place, and there isn't 5 billion different noises to chose from and actually used.

    Knowing when the communication takes place shouldn't be that hard if person 3 is watching all the traffic and sees this unintelligble blob all of the sudden.

    Another problem is being able to securely make sure only person 2 has all the different noise files.

  12. Security through obscurity on Optical Cryptography · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This just looks like another way to hide a needle in a haystack. I believe there would be a couple ways to get around this:

    The voice module for some of the high end (25+ CD) Pioneer CD changers is able to hear your voice even if the music is blasting. It does this by taking the music that's playing and mixing it into the microphone preamp 180 degrees out of phase, cancelling out most of the music. This isn't perfect, but I've seen it work, and I'm sure it can be adapted to do the same thing here. In fact, any imperfections may even help, due to the fact that you can (probably) tune it and pick up the real signal out of the mess.

    Brute force. How random is this random noise? If you can create a similar noise generator, all you have to do is filter out 80% of the crap, and you'll be able to grab the signal. It's like picking out the flashlight from a group of strobes. It's a PITA, but once you cover most of the strobes, you can see the flashlight.

    Most of the comments are running under the assumtion that Joe AOL user will upgrade as soon as a new version is available. Well, it isn't true.

    I know a few people that use AOL and some of them still use 5.0 and earlier. If it works, they're not going to mess with it.

    As for AOLinux, I'm sure that will die a quick death as soon as someone can't open some virus infected .exe attachment.

  16. Netscape? What about Neoplanet? on Netscape 6 is Spyware? · · Score: 1

    Neoplanet was Bigfoot's "Next Big Thing" to Windows versions of Netscape and IE. It was basically some silly add-on that had some search functions and keyword crap in it similar to AOL. Bigfoot no longer promotes it, but it's still available. They now state their vision as being leader in "Marketing Relationship Management". Sounds like a spammer wet dream to me. I was wondering if anyone has used it and saw anything fishy going on. A couple of my friends swear by it, but it looks like just another useless gizmo to me.

    An interesting side note about Bigfoot: A few years ago I knew someone that worked there, and she set me up with a Bigfoot For Life address. It was free, it worked pretty good, and since I was constantly switching ISP's at the time due to crappy service and whatnot, their forwarding was great. Unfortunately, a couple years ago they started charging, and on top of that, I started seeing spam coming through my Bigfoot addy AND my regular address at the same time. Yay. I dropped them, changed my Verizon alias, and it all stopped. I guess the saying is true, "All good things must come to an end." Either that, or sell out to spammers.
