They were featured here on slashdot a while ago, and they make encryption hardware...
Mainly PCI cards for SSL ecommerce server, but they also have rackmount boxes which you can route all your encryption to. This means it can handle all the encryption for an entire server room.
It seems that they are being uploaded right now, so be patient as some of the pages or pictures wont load. Usually apple doesnt update apple.com until a few hours after the show. Im impressed. SO much for mac news pages.

Well, the problem is that I dont have control of the servers. We are working on writing just such a log so that we can log the mail sessions as associated with uids instead of having to go through mail-out logs.
The polices interests were in the fact that hatemail had been sent from one of our accounts.:-(
I work at a large internet portal in sweden, and, amoung other things, we have a free ISP and mail service. A few days ago a letter was put on my desk from the police asking for a mail that was sent from our service to be traced.
The process of digging through hundreds of megs of logs to find out the proper sender IP from a webmail interface is quite possibly less entertaining then counting drops of water on your farhead in a chinese POW camp. And thats WITH the leather whip. I though i was going to go into epileptic shock. I ended up having to pass the job on to a coworker. yuk.
I've seen it mentioned in other posts here, but I don't think enough attention is being put on the subject.
How does the US government plan to block files hosted in other countries?
Lets follow the process... First, they go to Altavista, google, metacrawler, et al and demand that they remove those links from theyre search directory. Lets say, for arugements sake, that they succeed. So now no US search engine can return anything about illegal drugs, not even if youre using google from Amsterdamn.
Then, people will start using search engines hosted in other countries, like swedens own http://www.spray.se.(My current place of employment) They will NOT back down.
Does the US government really think that they can control the internet? They are completely forgetting the fact the its not theirs to control. Ack. Im very disturbed right now. Ive had it up to my farhead with the US believing they own the internet.
Wow, the MAME project seems to be coming along very nicely, but I think they should consider porting their software to more platforms. Sorta like Apache.
I for one would love to see MAME run on an old Apple II, or Commondore 64...The old good gaming platforms... [/noclue] -- Wait, it emulates what?
I've worked with just such machines, only on a smaller scale, and I have one fundamental complaint, the resulting object becomes imported as a mesh.
Oh, fine you say, thats the same as 3D studio uses, thats swell, right? wrong.
During the past year I have painstakingly reverse-engineering the childrens toy the bumble ball. This was done all in Mechanical Desktop 4 and Inventor 2.
Because of the details involved with the interior mechanics, I, along with my partner, when we turned to 3d studio to produce an animation, we found that mesh is nooo substitute for extrutions and constraints. Since the entire bumble ball is round, and all its features as well, the triangle constructions were autrotious. When we made a 3d model out of it using Stereo Lithography (SLA) it wasn't at all as nice as we had expected.
And then I looked over to all the other groups who were also reverse engineering things, and saw they're troubled 3d studio projects, and i simply refused to use it. I was happily rewarded when I was given the oportunity to use inventor 2, which, in accordance with autodesks file formats, is built on extrutions and constraints. Mmmmm...
Later into the year, when we were nearing completion, i saw what some students had '3d scanned', and it was a mess. What happens is that the scanner doesnt pick up a chamfer or a c' sink hole or an array, the object imports as a mesh. Mesh's might be swell to look at, but they're worthless to work with.
Ok, i'm done ranting. Oh, and by the way, I'm a sophmore in high school.:)
To get around the problem, you simply have to click and hold the back button, and select a site that is prior to the troublemaker. This works fine, at least for the microsoft.com example.
As for sites that get rid of the navigation bar, theres always the Cmd-(left arrow) (in MacOS/Netscape, i can fathom its something simililar on other platforms.).
If theres both, well, then you have a problem.
Also, if you really need to access the sites that were behind the back blocker, try checking the history..
Any-who...Sites that get rid of the navigation bar and such really tick me off. Just an added $0.02
Silicon Implants seem to be poping up everywhere...
First the Chest, now the eyes, geez.
CHICAGO - Pamela Anderson Lee is the first of a line of celebrities to have the latest and greatest silicon implants installed. Apparently she feels insecure about the sides of her retinas. Pamela declined to comment, but a rather baffled scientist at the institute was quoted: "What kind of crack is she smoking?"
And they're off... Its (0: Troll), no, now its (1: Funny), how will it end?
However REMEMBER IT'S 1.0. windows 1.0, Gnome 1.0, all sucked. This doesn't suck. And it's not even 1.0.
Hmm, yes. But Windows has gotten all the way to 98 and it _still_ sucks.;-p
As for ogg's success, i can't emphasize this enough: Look what happened to mp4...nothing!
Whatever you introduce, unless it's bigger better faster smaller cheaper easier AND cooler, then it won't do. It takes a lot to change standards...this is one case where you can serioulsy learn from history... exibit a) png
I remember a while back when I was coding perl for an australian company that was making a website for only australian's (it was about financing), our testing method was

So what were the copy's of Windoze fetching? $2.00? $3.50?
MS is trying to control the price fixing they've orchastrated so well... If people start seeing what Windows98 is really worth, then MS would be doomed...
I remember seeing Behind the Music on VH1, and when you guys got started, you spread like wildfire because of the demo tapes which you gave away hundreds of copies of and let people copy. It is this free distribution across the scene that has gotten you all where you are.
Now, why the sudden change of heart?
With Napster, the mp3's are your demo tapes and napster is the scene. Besides, your songs are the longest out there. Nobody (ok, just a few) downloads Metallica Albums. THey get songs to hear before they get the album. Now how they get the album is another story. I borrow them from a friend and rip 'em to mp3.
