If, however, they connect to the torrent, then aren't they knowingly distributing the material themselves? Seems to me that connecting to the torrent legitamately is the only legal way. See DMCA, et al. So they are, in effect, giving permission to distribute it. Could be quite a field day for lawers on both sides.
Just to add to the list, here are a few more illegal file swapping tools:
Microsoft(tm) Windows(tm) - The TCP/IP and Drive sharing stacks (which Bill has told us are so tightly integrated they cannot be removed) allow file swapping Floppy Discs/CD's/USB Keys - These can be used for file swapping (sneakenet style) All File Systems that allow copying Binary - After all, 90% of the data being swapped worlwide using binary is copyrighted Speech/Voices - I could use mine to illegally perform a copyrighted work
Note, Linux/BSD/et al would not be in and of themselves illegal, just remove the ability to copy files onto/off of the machine and they can remail within the rules. Albeit uselessly for the average person.
I say make all replicable molecular structures illegal, as they are the root of all file copying.
You just need the rack mountable model. In point of fact, some models are self rack mounting. Apparently, they require a positive thermal flow (warm spot) and will then proceed to self rackmount for extended periods of time, unmounting only for maintenance tasks.
I know this from experience. Also, do not leave an exposed rackmount keyboard, or you may find your iptables spontaneously changing.
Not only that, but somehow my cat has the uncanny ability to find exactly the part I am looking for... or maybe the reason I am looking is because the cat has it... on the other hand, my PC is named for the cat, "Bitchy Kitty"
In my cat's case, Final Fantasy VII's Cloud works best. Can't play the game without being offered unsolicited help. Seems she likes yellow. She also goes after Mario characters, but never Luigi.
Also, she loves pac man, the sound has her trying to get inside my subwoofers as he goes momp momp.
Set up a forum for that and I think there would be some interesting observations.
Yes, but can the video card smile and make you feel all warm? Can the cat one day support you? And neither the kitten nor card will ever grom into woman(or man) to really make your day
Only in cases where the peripheral components cannot handle the bandwidth and keep good data flowing into the buffer. The baby goes through several upgrade cycles on it's own:
1) Baby - Has the best rendering of smiles and frowns, and the sound devices canot drive subwoofers, but can be quite loud 2) Toddler - Can easily be destructive to unprotected systems, however, can also provide hours of amusement if monitored properly 3) Preteen - Probably the most stable, able to absorb large quantities of data. Make sure all data inflowing is of the highest quality, or the next stage is hell to deal with 4) Teenager - Almost as destructive as toddler if the Preteen stage did not receive sufficient good data, this stage provides the most creative output, but very little logical functionality 5) Postteen - This stage is highly unpredictable, and differs from Baby to Baby. At this point, a new Baby may be required.
And becareful, using the shared female.so libraries can result in viruses. Tek appropriate precautions, and only use the single user mode of female.so
I suggest you stick with the video card, however. Based on the error you posted from your makefile, you also do not have nag.so to provide asserts on filinus.box, or to canis.walk
Actually, I am thinking the size of the search space is not the issue, at least not to the government. The issue would be how quickly can they harvest a set of hashes and find a match.
Let's say they acquire a set of user id's and passwords for a soviet russian server. They now have (for example) 1000 user id's and passwords. They only need one match from that list to compromize the system. So now the search space is (2^128)/1000 probability to find a match. The more they have precalculated, and the more UID/PWD hashes they get their hands on, the less complex the task of finding a match.
It's not a matter of being able to break any given hash to them. Just a matter of breaking any one from a very large dataset of possibles.
Remember, the objective is more important than the methodology, for this case. The objective is a compromise, by whatever means necessary.
Of course, they could just capture a spy and torture them for information, might be easier.
I wasn't really thinking in terms of a complete dictionary, merely a computational reduction in the complexity of the hash collision algorithm.
Think take enough computers and PC time to calculate a partial dictionary, and use that as the first level of the algorithm. Apply whatever the hack here is for the next level, or whatever more elegant solutions appear.
The point of using the collision space is to reduce the necessary search space. And in terms of computational complexity and paralellism, the government has many many desktop machines to conscript if needed to approach the problem. If the hash in question is vital enough, they will use that power.
Using whatever algorithm these guys devised, and a known cleartext space of 2^128 (reduced by whatever dictionary they can calculate), the problem becomes less and less a brute force issue and more an efficiency of approach one.
I for one do not believe there is any unbreakable encryption, and even with quantum I believe it can be broken. Until proven otherwise, all we are doing is increasing the calculational cost. At no point have we been able to introduce the true entropic factor.
Theoretically, woudn't it be possible to use a paralell cluster, i.e. Beowulf to compute a set of hashes from a known data space.
More specificially, shouldn't the set of possible hashes when run through the hash algorithm produce a dictionary? Since each hash is a unique value, hashing the possible 2^128 hashes would produce a data set containing the original possible hash (cleartext) and a hashed value for the known cleartext (cyphertext). Then a simple search of the space would result in a matching hash for any given cyphertext.
Now given that 2^128 possible values must be hashed, this would require some set up time, but would result in a very permanent failure of MD5...
Given enough computing power, and to simplify the search space, subdivide the problem. This is something ideally suited to paralell computation.
And there are governments (USA) that have the will and resources to do something like that... Imagine something like SETI@HOME being run on every government owned PC and Mainframe and Server to generate a dictionary... even partially complete, they have reduced the computational complexity of the remaining search space... Every additional set of bit combinations calculated means one less bit of strength! From 2^128 to 2^127 to 2^126...
I have the exact opposite problem. My legal name is Tony, not Anthony, not Antionio, none of the long forms. However, for years I fought with credit agencies who refused to believe that I am not Anthony. I have never signed Anthony, never used the name, yet I still get stuck with it merely because people in beaurocracies (sp?) refuse to believe I am merely Tony.
True, that would also not be the first time the Doctor crossed time streams (Three Doctors, Five Doctors, Two Doctors)... I would love to see the Master team up with himself against the Doctor gone bad (or at least seeming to) and end up in a Two Masters type scenario...
Long straw (bamboo works nicely), needle like object (can also come from bamboo), feathering (combed bamboo), and poison (from bamboo extract)... viola, blow gun and darts. Deadly short range weapon with medium accuracy, almost totally silent.
So please, think of the children, screw the koala, and ban bamboo!
And if someone like myself were to ever need access, then I guess we're just screwed. You see, those infraded pulse meters don't work on everyone. Nor would a body temperature sensor with a 1 degree range work. My body temperature is regularly under by 2-4 degrees. The EMT pulse monitors say my heart only beats 50% of the time.
But other than just not fitting the 'Norm' I am very healthy.
Besides, what stops me from wearing the print as a glove, thus warming it and providing a pulse?
Seriously scratched copies of RIAA cd's that your kids got a hold of: $150,000 each, unless the jewell case is also missing, in which case $300,000. After all, they are one of a kind collector's items now, a modern art piece.
Also, AOL CD's are valued at $100,000 each.
I just realized, in this new economy, I am a billionare!!!
Kind of makes me wonder, are Burt and SSO crew reading Slash, just to get ideas where to start looking? When I am programming and hit an unexplained bug, I always start with a google search, to see if anyone encountered something similar. Usually (99% of the time) I will run across something which, while not identical, is similar enough to give me a starting point. It really saves a lot of head banging time trying to trace an anomalous bug.
While they are, I'm sure, top people in their fields, even the brightest can benifit from outside input...
In which case, Thagg, congratulations on helping put SSO in Orbit again!
The wider unlocked stance is not just for recoil, in fact, that grip would result in broken bones on a high recoil weapon.
By having the knees unlocked, the larger leg muscles are supporting the weapon and controlling gross aim. The weapon rides the hips to provide fine aim. The goal is to use the larger muscles to support and control the weapon, only using the smaller muscles to fine tune the aim. Otherwise, the use of a large weapon over a longer period than a few shots causes muscle fatigue, and can cause stress injuries.
Remember, the infantryman carrying the weapon most likely has been doing so for anywhere from a few minutes to days.
If you ever want to find out for yourself how quickly smaller muscles fatigue, try holding a pencil or pen at shoulder height with your arm fully extended and elbow locked for five minutes. Then try it with the elbow slightly bent and hand relaxed. The first time I had to do that, the difference is amazing.
Hat strap too tight 'Laptop sized' power unit apparently stuck in belt/pocket Incorrect firing stance for a large weapon (knees locked, stance too narrow) Power lead dragging ground, should be coiled and tucked Uniform sleeves too short sleeves left loose, not buttoned down Pants cut too long, and not bloused to boots as mentioned above Incorrect t-shirt under a field jacket Gun strap too tight, should be resting at the hip to allow a more relaxed grip and faster sweeping when firing... the way it's resting, he would have to turn his entire upper body to sweep, rather than moving the weapon around his hips
I used to have a daschund that would, whenever I sat down to code, fetch a can of dew from the mini fridge, turn on the stereo, and then curl up next to my feet to sleep. I would normally grab a soda and turn on the stereo, and one time when I did not he must have decided I should have. Funny thing is, he only did this when I sat down to code. Not when I was sitting to play a video game, or e-mail, or anything else. I never did figure out what clued him in to the difference.
And lights were a simple jump away for him. Too bad he never learned to turn them off.

Um, I thought (correct me if I'm wrong, but the matrix is more like: if one or the other bit but not both is 1, return 1, else return 0
1 1 0 0
XOR 1 0 1 0
== 0 1 1 0
