Gordon Rugg has used the techniques of Elizabethan espionage to recreate the Voynich manuscript, which has stumped code-breakers and linguists for nearly a century
Had Mr Rugg just used rot13 he would've cracked the code long ago. Want Crypto?
I wouldn't give this prick a moment of time bothering to read what bs he has to say. I would like to say though, what makes anyone truly believe any law passed will stop spammers? It's different if you were sending fines to those who's products are being sold, but spammers are doing the same thing telemarketers, and flyer distributors do. Only more annoying.
What the hell does anyone think some low life e-tard in Nigeria or South America care about American laws and spam, nada. Zilch zip nada. The law is a farce and being that its coming close to election, I'm wondering if it was solely sent through for whoring purposes...
63% of Slashdotters chuckled at the Article without even reading it while 12% of Slashdotters (hardcore geeks) called it a travesty of justice and vowed to take MS' offer of tracking hackers for fun and profit. 10% of Slashdotters (black hatters) were searching for new exploits and the methods the original black hatters used while 8% of Slashdot trollers posted Goatsecx, Nigga, FP's, and similar posts. 5% of anonymous posters were part of the previous 2% of Slashdotters. And finally 2% of Slashdotters didn't give two rats asses
Which 2004 technology and media trends and ideas did the New York Times staff miss? Don't know 'bout you but I'm thinking SoIP (Sex0r Over Internet Protocols) is all the rage for 2004. Thats is until VDoIP, Cooties Over IP, or Claps Over IP comes and spoils the show for everybody.
The minute you mention 'money' many get amnesia and offer themselves excuses not to dish out a dime. I try to when I can, even if its small amount (5-20 range) for stuff I use or find cool. Besides that's a couple of cups of Starbux that would kill me, or a pack of cigarettes or two that I can do without.
Now you may say what would this have to do with your post, much. For the typical user who's using DSL it may not be a problem, but on information based material, I would be skeptical to have a slew of file sharing going on due to authenticity issues. What if some retard decides to redo documents? What would be viable would be again, to check with some educational institute to see about using their resources, or starting writing to some of these foundations, e.g. Gates Foundation, to see if one of these ultra rich businessmen/women would be willing to donate to an extremely good cause.
doh my bad:( apologies I did Wikimedia http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url= www.wikimed ia.org
Where are the dotcom days when someone would have dumped a couple of million into this project. Maybe the owners should look into a University hosting the entire project on their machine for them. I remember Harvard was going to do so for the original Packet Storm back in like 1999 or so
yes 20k is a lot for a personal server. Hell I damn near run over 40 domains off a 250 (sun) which is ghetto and the top site I have which is club (dance) related would put Wikki to sleep. My personal site Politrix, is slightly less visited than Wikki but uses more bw from the files in the FOIA section.
Files served for the day 153764.... My bandwidth usage is scary. Man... just these two domains, would in theory, be enough for me to want a 20k machine too. Hell that doesn't include the spoofs I do like Scumgroup.com, Shafted.Us, and a crapload of other sites I have lurking around, AntiOffline.com, and I forget the others.
So like I said... 20k is a lot of money for a personal machine. And MIND YOU I don't have any ads, sales, etc., on the site. I may put up tshirts, ONCE IN A BLUE ASS MOON, then take the revenue and send out those same assed t's to friends, or order some for myself.
Maybe he just needs better admins or something if his equipment keeps getting bonked out.
The problem with something like this becomes an issues of whether or not one believes the guy for one, secondly many will think "Oh well such and such amount of people use it, and I know they'll send something so I won't" which translates to little money being sent. (that's for starters)
What is it this guy is supposedly running for $20k certainly piques my curiousity, and I'm not trolling. Hell I'll send him $5.00 and I don't even use his product
IP encapsulation for carrier pigeons
For many people without access to a physical network conneection, be
it a dedicated connection or a simple dialup PPP link, getting
internet access may seem hopeless. However, a new method has been
designed to allow almost anyone access to the internet. Not that this
method probably can't be used in the far north, without encapsulating
your carrier pigeon in a wool packet (See RFC3044). The data and frame
format for a carrier pigeon is interesting because it doesn't have a
physical network layer - That is, you send direct IP packets (They are
not encapsulated in, for example, a PPP packet).
Sheesh when I first heard about hotspots I grabbed my wife and started searching don't know about you but that'd be the only hotspot I would be willing to dish out $10 an hour for. Luckily I'm married so the going rate is waived for me;)
WHAT! You mean I'm the only one who can watch a whole 2 minutes of porn before picking up a book some coffee and listening to music! I'm shocked and awed. What I meant by my post is/was, hollyweird should bring back some form of gratuity it wouldn't kill them. Afterall, they're paying people umpteen millions to so called act? (Gigli, Steel Magnolias, etc.)
i mean for them to not rent them and the file expires, not for them the make the file expire when you buy them, they already tried this.
And again let me point out someone will still try to circumvent this just for the sake of hacker-fu-ness. Aside from that, if I rent something out and watch it at home, now say I have a two day rental, sometimes I bring in vids late, what makes you think I would pay for something I may not be able to watch where I otherwise would normally be able to, on my late return day?
I also have a habit of giving my brother my rentals when I'm done so he could watch it, so what makes you think I would dish out money for some halfbaked service?
Think about all the revenue that would be lost if something like this were out. Well I shouldn'e be unfair to say revenue lost until they went ahead and spent money on a losing idea, ut what makes you think anyone would be quick to jump on this idea. When you start cluttering products with too much tech it becomes unhip after the idea is launched most of the times, and judging by a huge majority of people who still don't know where the any key is, try explaining this technology to them. Remember they don't even know where the any key is, and they're likely to be your number one consumer.
'Because you won't sell them what they want.' Would this be more nude gratuity in movies? I remember movies like Porky's, the slasher flicks (Friday the 13th/Halloween), where all I cared about was a cheap thrill, now I've just stooped as low as making Jenna and Chasey what Julia Roberts and Demi Moore are to most, my heavy hitters. On a personal opinion note though, all you have is toddler-filtered crap.
Porn industry makes billions on low budgets imagine if you had Carmen Electra running around losing her top every two minutes along with Angelina Jolie, and a slew of other hollyweird chix doing the same. Just ultra nude scenes for no reason other than to run around newd. (fear) The technologists say that what went wrong with the music industry can easily go wrong for movie companies, too. What went wrong with the music industry is crappy music. Everyone rushing to throw out something for the sake of a quick buck. Hell new artists are releasing their greatest hits after their second album. How the hell can you have a greatest hits album when you're out like for 12-18 months?
Now for you bsharitt: I think if the RIAA would have done this earlier in the game, they wouldn't be in the mess they are in now. What mess do you think the RIAA is in? They're slowly making money, and although they are, through their cheap shot lawsuits, I'm sure it's going right back into their own pockets. What does this mean when it goes right back into their pockets? Means nothing more than they are going to whine more and claim loss loss loss to the artists (even though they recoup some loss), and stick it to more twelveteen year olds nationwide. It's a dirty game, but it's nothing more than business.
They need to come up with something like iTunes for movies that will let you buy movies, not just rent them and the file expires Let's get realistic about this for a minute, the second they do find a way to make expiry movies, even if it expires after 1,000 views, someone is going to come along and break it for the sake of geek coolness, or hacker-fu-ness (and I mean hacker-fu-ness on the respectable non scriptkiddiot sense), and that idea is as they say in Japan sayanora.
Bookmakers in London were biting their nails with nervousness as Beagle 2 approached the touch down on Mars. On Tuesday Ladbrokes cut the odds on the mission discovering life there after a flurry of bets.
Ladbrokes received many large bets following successful separation of the lander from its mother ship, Mars Express, on Friday. Others too reportedly similar increase in number of bets.
Proof of life on Mars would leave the bookmaker liable for a huge payouts on wagers placed with them. Warren Lush, a Ladbrokes spokesman was quoted saying that odds on finding evidence of life on Mars were being reduced from 33-1 to 25-1 after facing a potential payout of hundreds of thousands of pounds.
He conceded that the odds did not represent the true odds on finding life on the planet but the price was shortened because of the liabilities of hundreds of thousands of pounds. " We first took money for Mars life on Mars back in 1969 and would be looking at a black hole in our accounts if Beagle 2 discovers something," the spokesman told the Times.
Colin Pillinger, professor of Planetary Sciences at the Open University and Beagle's lead scientist has not placed any bet. He feels it would be like insider trading.
Meanwhile, Sir Patrick Moore writing in the Mirror said we would know after a few hours if there is some form of life on Mars, 34,500,000 miles away from us. There are craters, old riverbeds, canyons, valleys and volcanoes, the Olympus Mars being three times higher than the Everest.
The scientists are agog with the expectation that signals from Beagle 2 could confirm life forms even if it was very lowly.

Forget high tech shmy tech... Just xmit over Bongos your neighbors will love you for it. Install VoIP over BoIP and make MoIP (Music over IP) while you speak... Now you can serenade your chick(x) at the same time!. Isn't that geek romantic or what?
not to get off subject here but according to the title you are supposed to look back... So my guesses are it's behind you only when you turn around it's still behind you...
I know me on the other hand, I set up a mirror to see what's behind me and I see my ass. Then I realize what they mean by looking back... When you look back you see your ass, and what does your ass produce? Shit... Simple Geek Zen... Microsoft Security is shit... Get it now?

Flurry of bets on life in Mars
