  5. Re:Mathamatically speaking.... on Fermilab Calls For Code Crackers · · Score: 1

    did you notice there is a little dot 7 spaces separated from the last tick?

    then assuming each line is 47 bits. ... lines 4,5,6 are a bit unclear bits 5 and 6 from the right end.

    then you get 361 bits, which fit in a 19x19 square.
    not sure if that gets us anywhere, but it looks nice.

  6. anybody working on an opensource gsm protocolstack on Open Source Phone on the Way · · Score: 1

    that would be interesting to build.

    and it would give current gsm hardware manufacturers an incentive to improve the security of their current implementations.

  13. why would 45Mb/s be impossible by 2015? on Verizon Permitted to Default on PA Broadband Deal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    12 years ago I had a 2400 baud modem on a telephone line I shared with 7 others in a student home. these days most rooms in student housing have free 100Mbit in each room. and (no longer a student) I have 2048/512 adsl for 65 euro/month in my own apartment.
    In another 12 years I would expect at least another factor of 1000 increase in easily available bandwitdh.

    this is in the netherlands, ( which is probably different from Pennsylvania ), but still.

  16. Re:Always Happens on Open Source Quake Causes Cheating? · · Score: 1

    I think it is an example of the Good opensourcing can do for a product, the security flaws in the quake protocol were already there before the code was released.
    This is very similar to someone releasing an exploit to sendmail, and the sendmail people then having to fix it.
    The nice thing about being torn to shreds in the cyberjungle, is that you can fix things and try again.

  18. searchengines on FBI Shuts Down Website · · Score: 1

    only 1 search engine returns a direct hit on the crowdedtheater page : goto.com

    "CROWDEDTHEATER.COM Is there going to be a Military Takeover of New York City on New Years Eve 1999? I don't know too much about this tape you are about to see. I got it from my cousin Steve who's in the army. He said that copies of this tape are.."

    altavista returns 3 hits on a pages which have probably changed since altavista indexed them. (morrock.com, sbcfl.com, and www.itva-maryland.org) (or have some deal with altavista to generate a hit regardless of a textual hit.)

    the unability of crowdedtheater.com to leave any traces in cyberspace makes it more likely to be a hoax in my opinion.
