Remember the idea of opportunistic encryption? If 2 hosts both had the ability to encrypt traffic, the would no matter what the traffic was. This was actually implimented in http://www.freeswan.org/
"The company did not give details on the scope of the flaws it found." After all that work reviewing a rather massive amount of code, are they not going to publish detailed results, or at least contact developers? They have their data for the study now. WTF?
Bigfoot is really just another manufactured memory planted by the same alien grays who planted the design for this over-unity device in the mind of the poster via an anal probe. (I guess that route must have provided the shortest path to his brain.)
I sure the heck hope they're not using generic 802.11 on 2.4 or 5.6 Ghz, but rather a dedicated goverment band. It would be _stupid_ to put something so critical on a shared band.

How about adding doping agents to a nuke...then we can solve all our problems at once and convert the parts of the world that piss us off into big glass PV panels.
"Yes, the very same federal government that is cutting back on college loans and food stamps will soon be issuing TV vouchers' - $1.5 billion to help U.S. households buy new digital TV equipment."
A fat and stupid population is actually a requirement of a totalatarian government. Its just so much easier handling sheeple than people. Complacency is a disease.
Learning where the keys are spacially so that you hit a key and not inbetween them, or dead air is the hardest thing about learning how to type. Learning what letter is at each of these locations is separate, and easier. I've been typing on dvorak for about 10 years now and love it. It's not that hard to learn another format. I would, however, suggest not toggling back and forth until you've mastered the new format.
Let us not forget the real scientific research that went into making QWERTY, such as putting all the letters for the word TYPEWRITER together on the top row so salesmen didn't have to learn much.
Please mod parent up. He may very well have heard it.
What he probably heard was a re-broadcast of NASA Select video/audio feeds. The audio section of this feed is often re-broadcast (with permission) on the ham bands by various amateur radio clubs. NASA Select is available as a C-Band satellite feed. The actual transmission between the shuttle and earth was probably encrypted, sanitized, then re-broadcast for the public as NASA Select. Shuttle/ISS crew members who are hams sometimes talk on the ham bands...this I've heard, complete with doppler shift;-)
I got my 800 watt amp ready just in case I'm communicating with someone who's deafened by their nearby BPL. I sure hope this "new BPL" is notched and stays out of the ham bands, but I'll crank it up till I'm heard if need be. I hate running lots of power and normally keep it to 100 watts, but I'll keep the amp ready to go.

How about driving a car with headlights flashing a recognizable pattern down the area highways...wouldn't this be definitive proof if it seen as a flashing Marfa light?
Also, here in Corpus Christi, TX we have a somewhat weird optical effect effecting the visability of an offshore platform being built on land across the Corpus Christi bay. There is a significant image magnification effect while driving on a road that faces the platform (~12 miles across the bay). Besides looking like it is bigger, you can actually see much more detail while on that road. After approaching the water, it suddenly looks a lot smaller (and you cannot see the same level of detail as when viewed back over land).
Why not extended the elevator 'shaft' well beyond GEO, then vessels could fly off the far end at extreme velocities and reach outside our solar system a lot faster than any chemical rocket could manage. The earth's got plenty of rotational kinetic energy to spare...and everyone's always griping they need more hours in their day anyway.;-)
There's a open source project called Speak Freely that implements strong cryptograhpy and can interface with gnupg for key exchange and authentication. The actual windows product hasn't been updated in a long time, but the linux API may be useful.
Recently the speak freely API was used as the basis of the IRLP amateur radio linking project. IRLP needs strong authentication (but not crypto) and speakfreely + gnupg provides it.
Somehow I expect Microsoft to enforce some sort of EULA for the formats, or perhaps patent the formats. I suspect that GNU software wanting to read/write the formats is somehow going to be left out in the cold. We are, after all, talking about Microsoft. Consider their "shared-source" initiative a while back.
Just fill the commercials with boobs and most of the/. crowd won't skip them. This works in parts of Europe very well...hell, people fileshare the commercials!
At the site, you can deploy solar panels or wind turbines in just a few hours, for self-generated power. Or, use diesel, propane, natural gas or gasoline-powered generators."
I suspect the self-generated options are on the 0.5kw end of the spectrum while the 150kw is on the diesel/propane/natural gas end of the spectrum. Nothing new to see here. Move along...

Against an agreement != illegal, dammit.

Cool, what freqs? I think I'm going to take a listen next time too.

You'd think they'd be using some form of PKI, not simply relying on a symmetric cipher. Revoke keys...

Woohoo, I knew this skill would come in handy someday ;-)
I think someone's a little upset about the whole anal probing thing...
There are some people who just bend over and take a EULA, and there are some who enjoy it. Which camp are you in?
