I have also seen that people are becoming immune to advertising and are tired of the boring commercials. Instead they want to see something entertaining.
On the web, banner ads suck but I've seen a couple flash advertisements that were very entertaining. The 'I am Canadian' commercials come to mind. What's better is, if you don't want to see the flash ad, close the window. Plain and simple.
A company I used to work for had a similar technology to prevent people from dialing into their servers. You would get a card that had an LCD and every few minutes the code would change. When you logged into the ppp server you had to provide the proper code to log in. It was a pain to carry this thing around with you but it worked.
Even though this technology is a bit different I don't see it being that great for security. Inside a corporate network this would be fine but on the internet this would be useless.
- If my IP address rotated all of the time how do my packets get back to me? - Do these guys have to be my ISP? Wouldn't that mean that they would act as a firewall/router to the outside world?
Winnipeg is awfully cold in the Winter so we will have to riot and burn things to keep warm.
I figure that if I hide out for a couple of days, most of the people in the downtown area will have either froze to death or will have killed eachother off. That's when the real looting and pillaging starts !!!
If you notice some guy running down Portage Ave. with a sword in his hands (swords don't run out of bullets), just remember to yell out "/. rules" and I might spare you because I know you won't eat my meat supply.:)
Ham radio systems have a pretty good potential for allowing data to be transfered back and forth between your wearable and your "home" base. The speed is slow but you can send tcp/ip packets over the system. Plus, ham radio's are pretty much have a global coverage. The negative thing is that the speed is pretty slow.
If I get this correctly, telneting into an offshore box and contributing "data" would be the equivelent of doing gambling over the net.
In both cases you would be contributing something that is illegal in your own country to another country. Data for crypto and money for gambling.
Someone had mentioned that if you were helping a country with crypto and they were using it for nuclear weapon technology, you would be counted as a traitor if there was a war. What if the offshore illegal site you were gambling on was using it's profits to buy nuclear weapons. In both cases you would be contributing to your country's enemy.
A child is walking along the beach at low tide. The beach is covered with thousands of star fish stuck up on the sand as the tide moved out. The child walks along, picking up one star fish at a time and tossing it out into the ocean. An old man comes along and says. "What are you doing, you can't possibly save them all. You are wasting your time. What you are doing doesn't matter". The child with joy in his face picks up another star fish, throws it into the ocean and says, "It matters to that one."

Nah,
It was a small hydro company. At least someone there was a little pro-active about security.

I think I'll stick with encryption.
