As a graduate of UW-Madison, and a reader of all the campus newspapers, I guarantee that you aren't missing anything. If you read both the Herald and the Daily Cardinal, you could possibly get a fairly unbiased take on a story. Read either one by itself, though, and you'll get a strong tilt right or left, respectively.
The Onion once ran an ad pointing out the difference between the three campus newspapers through headlines:
Badger Herald: Regents vote for student tuition increases, again.
Daily Cardinal: Regents ram tuition increases down student throats, again.
The Onion: Aliens impregnate Donna Shalala, again!
Maybe it's possible, but is it really better in some way? How is navigating an avatar through a hallway of doors better than clicking a link?
Anyone that has to support a user base that has difficulty navigating to a folder on a file server to find a document would appreciate this. Imaging telling your user, "go down the red hall to the third door on the left. Go in, and grab the box marked . Take it back to your desk and work on it. Put it back when you are done."
It's not hiding anything - it seems to have a partial shadow. It must be one of those monoliths from the 2001 series... now, where did I put that thigh bone...
For a while, ORNL had a problem with radioactive frogs:
LC Manley asked if there had been problems with frogs, especially at ORNL.
Gordon Blaylock answered that frogs would get into pond 3513, a waste disposal pond, and reproduce. The sediment and water in the pond contained relatively high levels of radionuclides from the waste disposal system. As the frogs matured from tadpoles to adult frogs, they were exposed to relatively high levels of radionuclides. The adult frogs, which contained high body burdens of radionuclides would leave the pond and were run over in the street or stepped-on on the sidewalk.
Here's how to perform an attack that will break the trivial XOR encryption in a few minutes:
* Determine how long the key is
This is done by XORing the encrypted data with itself shifted various numbers of places, and examining how many bytes are the same. If the bytes that are equal are greater than a certain percentage (6% accoridng to Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography second edition), then you have shifted the data by a multiple of the keylength. By finding the smallest amount of shifting that results in a large amount of equal bytes, you find the keylength.
* Shift the cipher text by the keylength, and XOR against itself.
This removes the key and leaves you with the plaintext XORed with the plaintext shifted the length of the key. There should be enough plaintext to determine the message content.
Your example works, because your key and plain text are the same length. I think the point is that all Jumpdrives either use the same key, or use one short enough to apply the above to, etc. Short of including (and inventing) a one time pad generator that is truly random, and with the availability of other password encryption methods, why use XOR?
XOR is a logical operation. It takes two inputs (for encryption, it would be plaintext and keystream), and has one output: a 1 if both input bits are 1, and a 0 if either or both inputs are 0. So, unless your keystream is truly random (that's the hardpart), you'd best look at a different encryption algorithm.
Actually, an OEM copy will not work for most large corporations. An OEM license of XP Pro (or 2000 Pro, etc.) will not allow the company to use any fashion of imaging software (Ghost, et al). You can still get volume licensing and Software Assurance, but you aren't getting OEM pricing, either.
The legal team for a former employer of mine claimed that WordPerfect has a far better redlining system. If you've worked with a laywer, they live and die by redlining.

Unless someone was testing a laser weapon to knock out missles/rockets. I blame the sharks.

I already have one; they're called "hands".

Because these dials go to 4.5 Kelvin.

It could be worse - you could play the Euphonium like me.
Are you counting every time someone *reinstalls* Windows?

You're right - I described it incorrectly. Looks like I should switch to decaf this afternoon...
And I missed the preview button by *that* much. You are, of course, correct. Thanks.

Damn. It's starts off so well, too.
Why am I now expecting to see a string of, "what's your number?" posts?
You are, of course, correct. Given how much work he did with English folk song, I forgot that he was Australian.
Don't leave off Thomas Tallis, or John Dowland, or William Byrd, or Percy Grainger, or...
I'm still partial to the humor that the programmers added to the system. Like variables that are expressed in microfortnights, or an error message that reads, "Shut 'er down Clancy, she's pumpin' mud."

A friend of mine used to use the line, "there seems to be an unbridgeable carbon-silicon gap."
I believe the grandparent was trying to say that Torvalds and von Neumann should already be in the Hall of Fame, not merely candidates now.
