You can't even buy a remote from this company unless you're a customer. This company usually does the install when the house is being built. It was $525,000 for the theater room on the biggest and most expensive projectthey'd ever done. It looked like a victorian era theater. The remote system was 10k. They had a satellite 'cable company in a box' system as well that did 40 independent channels. The list goes on and on.
Just insane.
I was there to do warranty work on one TV. Long time ago.
Every time I visit my parents. The county goes through cycles of getting Fed money and paving the roads then letting them return to the wild so they can get more Fed money.
It keeps the rednecks 'off welfare' and in beer...
It's not just me that won't buy your products it's every computer I build, it's every person I talk to, it's every decision my company makes that I can sway against you, it's every law I can turn against you.
At least ads are honest propaganda. Our current paper is pretty sickening in it's bias. I will gladly watch those 'molders of public opinion' turn moldy and die. They'll make good compost.
Thrice upon a Time by James P. Hogan had the mini black holes, fabulously written
I'm pulling my hair out on which one slammed transuranics together to make universes.
Another had a scene where a single massive black whole was created, to protect the facility from an angry mom a General ordered a gasoline spray and ignition, a sort of linear FAE to kill the protestors, blew his brains out after.
Every bit of traffic needs a bit from your one time pad. That limits how long the pad lasts. Yes there are storage solutions that store gigabytes but if you're using it for a lot of data it's used up fast. An OTP has to be one time use or you might as well use billboards.
Both parties need the same pad. You need to be able to ship that pad to them or hand it to them and be sure no one snooped or snoops the OTP. If the pad is compromised how do you inform the other party it has been tainted? Unless you go talk to them in person, you could phone, mail or email but those can be faked. You could have a standby code word but eh...complexity
Now you have to talk to 22,000 people. Each with a different pad. Then there are websites.
Governments would have thousands of people to handle all those details and all they were managing were 128bit keycards (paper things way before your time). Classified couriers, locked vaults, etc etc. It was and still is insanely expensive.
Thanks for that. I could not figure out how the format worked and am pretty bad at programming. I felt there had to be a way to hand craft a 'compressed' file that would work and could produce any file size I wanted but I lacked and still lack the skills to do it.
My favorite is using pkzip to zip up a ~200meg+ file to kill automated virus checkers.;) The harddrives in the hey day of command line pkzip were small and this would kill some twits BBS because the virus checker would blindly unzip the file then check it without checking that it would fill the drive. The next version of the software just looked at what the zip file said..but you could edit the zip to say anything and it would still decompress the whole file. The next version did fix that finally...for pkzip.;)
Using social engineering that is rather inept by todays standards I convinced several people on usenet to not read the text telling that it could cause problems but to just blindly open the doubly zipped file (it gets smaller when doubly zipped a certain way so I made it 2G to start).
I did the same thing with PGP which could allow one to kill an encrypted anonymous remailer and I also nailed several people by posting the PGP message with a passphrase. PGP compresses files prior to encryption. I didn't mess with the remailer without asking permission. The person running it was a bit surprised.
Linux commands: dd if=/dev/zero of=hi bs=1024 count=200512 zip hi.zip hi Result -rw-r--r-- 1 bogus bogus 199411 2008-13-48 18:04 hi.zip
zip -9 ho.zip hi.zip Result -rw-r--r-- 1 bogus bogus 846 2008-30-81 18:13 ho.zip I'm not sure why but using -9 to start does not make the original super small it only works the second time.
If you want to assault a fractal compressor, just insert a non-finite automata and have at them. You get points if it's video and draws frame after frame of something inappropriate.

Yea what moron wanted that?

How cool would a "lightning bomb" be? A bit of bother dropping several thousand of them during a storm the the bewildered havoc they could wreck!
I'm wondering if one of those microwave pseudo-EMP devices are directional enough to trigger a more massive plasma channel.

There's a local custom home theater company that *starts* at $25,000, anything less isn't worth their time.

We need an EOI link, exterminate operator, that'd get their attention.
I miss Rich Cook, he's sick and can't write anymore. Here's a couple of his books given freely.

And now that the secret is out they'll bleed themselves white getting rid of, constraining or otherwise making ineffective their engineers.
It's a win for third worlders everywhere!

It does look like some deadagenting going on. It could be the church or some faction of the church or just a member.
I'm waiting for them to target the TV billboards during rush hour right when it will do the most harm.

As shocking as the brutality committed on the cats is the majority who blindly followed their governments proclamation.
