It'd be nice if it could be made to work. The font had two images. One human eyes would see and one the Van Eck freak would see. I read some more and because technology has advanced dramatically and font technology does not allow real time animations that don't bother the user but do bother the Van Eck freak the authors dispensed with that line of protection.
Format the drives, damage the install disks and walk away because strangling the ability of drama queens to get on the internet is a social responsibility.
I didn't have to rationalize it I told them what it would cost. I never say no to earning money. If they were offended by it good. If it offends you better.
My bad I'd assumed they were available but it seems they improved the attack enough to render them useless.
It was not the best solution and now that DSP and FPGA solutions have improved so much since I read that article you're left with doing the full Tempest hardening solution. I did not clue into the current state of the art as fast as I should have when I wrote that post.
A Van Eck setup that would have cost millions when that paper was written is now within the reach of some hobbyists and blackhats.
It fixed my problems instantly when I quoted them my rate. I got tired of being abused by people who refused to learn how the system worked. This was a directed refusal they take pride in. I made my point that I was not longer their slave. Now they get to pay someone who likes the abuse. I would point out the relationship has a whiff of BDSM but they'd not understand that either.
Not much really. While it is possible to effectively protect a device from such snooping it is very expensive due to the testing and handling requirements. I don't see it on the link but I think there is a commercial Tempest standard.
I think you're right, in a lot of ways. However, I suspect a chunk of the problem is that the best path to better energy begins with that N word people are so afraid of embracing. Our society has discovered a new form of fire, and it scares us. Until we're willing to actually embrace it (dangers of use and all), we're going to be stuck in our caves.
The US is getting 10 percent of it's electricity from old Russian nukes and are in competition for the rest of the world for that supply. We've played out most easily mined uranium. This has happened faster than predicted. Nuclear is not going to be a viable option unless more sources of uranium or other radioactives are found.
If the people selling it had given a damn they'd have had a poison pill provision to protect their people. Since EA is a known evil the sellouts are wholly to blame.
No they have not come around, they have grudgingly made the changes people have requested and plan on unchanging this in the future as best I can tell from some of the snarly responses.
No. You document everything now that you've opened your fat mouth. Look for another job and when you're reasonably sure you have another job go to the president and tell them you're taking that to the BSA. Make sure your new job starts the next day.;)
Now if you want to blackmail them you're on you're own. You may feel better about informing on them and probably have a better job as any company that is that much of a cheap ass in my experience treats their people like crap.
I don't see watching the excrement on cable since the last time (2007) I watched cable there were ads *in front* of what I'm watching. Slide ups, slide downs, shit splats slide lefts, slide rights and the regular commercials which still had the cable logo splattered at the bottom. This was done without a box of any kind. One of the slide ups had *sound* DURING the show.
I'll download the show or buy the DVD without the crap. If they come out on bluray only I'll pay someone to capture it off the screen.
Who didn't pirate EA?:) I didn't own an MSD Super Disk but had access to one. In 1983-85 there was a BBS in a computer store in Arlington VA a kid wrote a BBS that would work with the MSD and the store owner bought 4 of them for the BBS. I think there were two C64's and two modems at that time and files were duplicated on each. Subscribers could send messages requesting a disk be inserted and the operator, if there, would get the message and do it.
It gave me an excuse to bring up my first computer and some memories. If you feel the need to neo-retro-geek you could take an Arduino and write a program for it and for Processing that would talk to a 1541 through this interface.;)
Nope, no answer here that is cost effective but it may be of interest to someone.
Yes, there is an ethernet solution that runs over the house electrical wiring. It should be trivial to stream audio or download and play MP3s over it. http://www.homeplug.org/products You would have to pick a setup that falls under your budget and actually works. I see some at 40 each which at 5 rooms is $200. There are some pitfalls to it IIRC there may be some information on/. or Google about fixing wiring problems but my search foo is lacking.
Once you have that running you want to be able to FIND the songs. This may help but I've not used it. It looks slick and useful. http://www.nealosis.com/mp3collector/Forms/Default.aspx Since the requester does not want a PC in each room this is not the answer but I am going to try it as it looks cool.
I moved completely away from Ubuntu because an upgrade broke my system with the 'stable' version previous to this latest snafu. They also disabled several long term features. One broke midnight commander in a terminal was done to placate emacs zealots and the others for no rational reason other than it bothered someone with the power to make it happen.
You'd have to modify the a program for the 6502 processor that runs the drive.
What? You were going to write it for the C64 as a basic program or assembler? Both will eat up valuable memory space and be very slow. A cartridge may help some but it will still be slow.
Yes I've written machine code in 6502 for the 1541 though I used a hack to get it into ram and executed properly. I implemented a no knock routine that would load off a floppy at power on based on clues from the reference guide.
What is this? http://www.h64.de/ could be a useful modification. I must find out! It uses an AT29C010A flash chip a static ram chip some gal chips and discrete logic.
We're allowed by the constitution something like 10,000 congressrats depending on state population. I'll take it. It means that only the most critical things would get done and instead of the current red/blue glad handing we'd SLOW government down. It would also make smaller groups have representation and less of a professional polytick.

You can make the road wider for the same effect but consider that the road is made of copper and it's expensive and non-standard.

I am so out of touch.

The page has good info and you can try the anti-Tempest fonts for a grin. It's based on the paper also referenced on that page.

Maybe we should invent chemicals that make warmongers glow in the dark. Ok we have but we're using them up in nuclear reactors dammit!
Yes it's recursive BOMB ME BABY!
They can sell the booze and the store can sell them nodoze. FDA is grandstanding for a budget increase again.
Why is SSH so stupid to have a default password? What moron decided that was cool?
Sheesh it's not the 90's anymore.
I use NoScript and Adblock+ because they are actively maintained.
I doubt much will come of this. Putin is a putz.
No. You document everything now that you've opened your fat mouth. Look for another job and when you're reasonably sure you have another job go to the president and tell them you're taking that to the BSA. Make sure your new job starts the next day. ;)

Finding a working 1541 is up to the reader. :/

Based on prices this is not an optimal solution but the cyberdata would sound so retro some may like it. ;)
It's been so broken for so long.
I moved completely away from Ubuntu because an upgrade broke my system with the 'stable' version previous to this latest snafu. They also disabled several long term features.

It sounds so familiar.
You don't know the system very well.
You'd have to modify the a program for the 6502 processor that runs the drive.
What? You were going to write it for the C64 as a basic program or assembler? Both will eat up valuable memory space and be very slow. A cartridge may help some but it will still be slow.

Someone decompiled and documented the rom which may allow such a scheme to be implemented. I grant there's almost no wiggle room in a 1541 so it may require some code in the C65 as well via a cartridge or a hardware mod or both to both.
http://www.flavioweb.it/c64/docs/AsmDocs/1541-diss.html and you need an adapter to use burnable roms http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~schepers/roms.html
What is this? http://www.h64.de/ could be a useful modification. I must find out!
It uses an AT29C010A flash chip a static ram chip some gal chips and discrete logic.

It will be sold to the syfylus channel and the CGI'd bot will have neo-sex with an anaconda.
