  1. Re:When cryptography is outlawed, on 30 Years of Public Key Cryptography · · Score: 0

    Let's hope noone will sue me because of the dmca.

    It's a simple substitution cypher:

    a -> n

    b -> o

    c -> p

    e -> r

    f -> s

    g -> t

    h -> u

    i -> v

    j -> w

    l -> y

    n -> a

    p -> c

    r -> e

    v -> l

    y -> l

    Fun to decrypt with frequency analysis, specially because the most frequent 'e' is only used once :)

    For one thing, they don't have the access to birth control that allows the rich and middle classes to have unlimited sex (without barrier-style birth control methods like condoms, crevical caps, and diaphrams) without pregnancies.

    What's this unlimited sex you're talking about?

    I misread that and actually thought you said:

    Are you one of those people who believes that nobody who photographs a bride may be planning to blow it up? Or are you one of those people who believes that the occasional blown-up bride is worth it, so long as your desire to take pictures of bridesis not scrutinized?

    I'm off to the shrink!
  5. Re:What about windowmaker? on Common Interfaces for Gnome and KDE Released · · Score: 0

    No, your not the only one, I use it too.

    In fact, i'm at work writing this, and, let me tell you about my configuration:

    my main work laptop runs windows 2000 (yuck!) with cygwin, X, and windowmaker. My dev machine runs debian and windowmaker.

    I start X on my main work laptop with something like:

    %RUN% XWin -rootless -clipboard -silent-dup-error

    I start a second X to connect to my dev machine with:

    %RUN% XWin :2 -rootless -clipboard -silent-dup-error -query l201071

    This gives me:

    my windows desktop, local cygwin X and remote X both overlaid on the windows desktop.

    I made sure the icon colours between both windowmakers are different to distinguish between local and remote.

    It works well for me and keeps my fellow devs away from my machine :)

  22. Re:Welcome to 1982 on Let Joe Average Help You Code · · Score: -1

    LOGO ain't just the turtle. It does have list processing. I remember doing functional programming in it (based on a BYTE magazine article somewhere published in 1987). Syntax I cannot remember. It had a weird procedural style defining procedures/methods/subroutines with the TO keyword if I remember it correctly. It did have EVAL which made it possible to put a definition in a list and to define it at runtime. Pretty neat for only turtle handling :)
