But reading the wired interview gave me the impression of the two mice pontificating about the answer...
I thikn that perhaps he (as an artist) has 'encrypted something' in a manner of:
what I want encrypted -> process -> result = somethign completely different, is this encryption?
I.e. perhaps he has done this type of encryption:
"apple" = "orange" which is impossible to crack... looking at the points where he makes too many clues, and builds something out of it, seems too vain, now I think he is worried about contradicting himself...
Perhaps he never wants it cracked, perhaps there is no solution...
Another reader idea of reading backwars, and the idea of CANDLE seem good, but again read wired interview and tell me it doesn't seem like he is a little too guarded... and 'deliberate mistakes' come on, you expect me to believe that!:-)
Well... lets give it a go...
Is this news? or a wikipedia entry?

Decrypting Kryptos
·
· Score: 0, Troll
Yeah a lovely link, but what happened?
They got kryptos running linux? Microsoft patents kryptos? apple sell mini-kryptos?
is this a dupe? what is the relevance in my life!!! aaaaaaaargh:-)
heh, it would own if kryptos was just a public key... maybe I should make a sculpture out of my public key... but when it expires... bah...
I thought about getting amac mini... I started to defend my decision to buy it...
I don't really want to use iTunes... I like picasa... I haven't got a digital video source greater than a webcam... I like graphics (a few open souce svg apps, gimp, and the deaded PS) and I like using *insert-KDE-or-Gnome/X.org/GNU/Linux* [which is what I think it should be called...] (I LIKE USING LINUX, sue me if I didn't say I like installing the kernel source to upgrade my graphics card driver... ok it is sh blahblahblah.run... but still) so I have a feeling for other OS's.
I just don't want to become *that* guy complaining about lack of OS-X/XI support.
I am sure it has bucket loads of apps, and loads of open source stuff runs with little changes etc, but I am such a lazy/busy person, I just like to wallow in always having my version as the "if you dont know what to choose, choose this.exe lamer" download link (WHICH I actually appreciate, because try downloading something off apache.org... you go all the way into the app area, app, app version.. hit download and it gives you a page containing ALL downloads... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...... and trying to decipher which version s(alpha/beta/nightly/release) from a blaster http idr list of filenames... DAMN!!!
rant over... just, yes I want a mac... why? well probably to play with the konfab shizzle... but I need to look long term, and that means loads of neat apps and extra stuff my existing 'pute can't do... when I upgrade, I will have an oppourtunity to try new hardware, but always be wary of my time to hope to a new architecture.
If they sold a bare mac mini (no HDD or ram) I would snap one up, and use it as a test fun machine... maybe I would love it... who knows...
Generates inductive field to power any enabled device placed on the pad.
ANY DEVICE can be placed on the splash pad and recharged! sounds too good to be true?
All mobile devices fitted with a SplashModule are ready to receive wireless power from a SplashPad charging base. The thin receiver module is customized to the shape, size and power requirements of the device and can be easily integrated into the host device or add-on accessories.
aaah... so instead of shagging around for a plug to go in a wall to connect to your device... you now need to shag around for a plug that.. plugs into the device... so you can place it on this mat...
and you might have 10 of them... which one was it?... ok until products come built in support... but read my prev. comment about mobile devices and bulk.
Splashpower spells an end to hunting for the right charger, finding free socket space or fiddling with connectors
yeah, because A:
- You already have the scanner sized pad plugged into the wall... so the sockwet is already not free...
- You have to have a permanent loss of deskspace for this pad... (which is like the pads used in batteries for heart shizzle right?)
- You will probably own devices that use this, and other devices, hey ho, you still need to fiddle... why not just build onj the standard power interfaces we have (jacks) with an intelligent protocol adapater that releases the right voltage...
INSTEAD of bulking up the MOBILE devices with additional equipt to pickup and utilise the 'wireless' energy...
Seems silly to advertise standards of recharging with the idea of remote recharging, as tey are seperate issues, you can have standard power cahrging without an uber ghay charger pad...
I say fad, and don't put your cash in it... not that this technology has some uses, but this is "hey we got it working, erm, lets pretend it is the answer to a completely different question, because erm, we couldnt actually find a question (use) for it..."
Just my stupid fscking.55 cent coin that looks like a 2 euro coin (fscking dumb-shits award for that coin?)
WOuldn;t such a setup be dangerous? Don't even housing wires produce a nasty field that you wouldn't want in a wall next to a cot?
Lets have the next generation sitting in a strong EM field for 8 hours a day, with thier mobile phones next to thier hearts/in thier pockets, staring at laptop screens all day.
Why not just do some open air nuclear testing upwind of the school?
Don't forget schools selling out again to put thier 5th wireless band technology repeater up (2.5/3G/802.11x...)
I am convinced if thier search went back to 2000/2001 they had this story back then (about scents that attract mosquitos)
mosquitos are actively being eradicated by technology, developments to ecnourage bats to 'cave' closer to mosquito hotspots, 100watt sound speakers that bust open the guts of larvea under water and my personal favourite, a well aimed pillow in the middle of the night.
Stephen Hawking admitted that he had made a mistake 30 years ago in betting that black holes gobble up everything, including information.
The thing is - Stephen hawking bet that a cup, when smashed, woudl eventually jump back off the floor, fixing itself, and land ok, and that we would all live our lives in reverse, without knowing it.
That the contraction of the universe would contract time.
He is such a dolt.
TIME DOES NOT EXIST, and neither does the universe.
The ant on paper is a nice analogy, for us the ant has come across a mystical marking:
"this page intentionally left blank"
and defers 11, 12, heck why not 56 dimensions, 3 contradictory theories, yet fails to explain why it is actually on the paper in the first place, as if that even matters.
Similarly, our universe may be a membrane floating in 11-dimensional hyperspace, while we remain oblivious of the parallel universes hovering nearby.
Also, the worst part, in 1 million years perhaps when the micro-ama-google-zon-SCO-inux-soft foundation PWNz space, and set off on a mission through the worm hole, some twat will link to this story and say:
Programming (unless they are misaligned) and working in emacs
CRT's:
Web development, if you hike it to 100hz, the colours are beautiful and you can work nicely without the visible partitioning between pixels.
My machine: the graphics card is loose, so it is like working in a disco, the screen is flickering, but this is my home machine, so I use it 5 mins a day.
I would (and have) bought a new CRT over plasma/lcd or rear proj DLP.
(unless you put your lcd flat against wall (which isnt always best) you dont save space with an lcd)
Sorry for the spanner, but I hardly doubt someone is routing packets all the way thorugh your uni's connection to make a phone call.
Latency dude.
p2p and torrent technology is the worst network framework for something like streaming audio (lets not fuck ourselves with words like voice-over-ip... it is audio, and a network, and it streams...)
p2p could just mean point 2 point for all you care. It makes a direct connection to the dudes place machiney thingy, else it wouldn't work.
Serious: Before you consider wiki, describe what you need? a loosly organised fast changing refinement of data? highly structured secure and minimally changing data? something for what? wiki isn't a good for all solution.
Some wikis support some cool features like templating, but if you are serious about an extensible, knowledge management solution that works on PC's, Mac's, TV's, Mobile phones, PDA's etc, then reply here and I will get in touch with some suggestions.
Joking: You are just about to go under, and the youthful looking doctor fires up wikipedia.org and starts searching for 'brown wobbly bits' and 'blood'... just hope it hasn't been/. tolled with goatse links, else you will come out of your appendectomy with an asshole you could use to carry bowling balls around.
Microsoft playing catch up on search and email and IM == part of the way forward? well I hope so.
It's just another step towards the increasing legitimacy and acceptance of online services either replacing or merging with traditional desktop applications.
You wouldn't happen to be a low paid middle manager? how did I know? nothing....
Google have announced that they will be happy to license thier google api to all software vendors wishing to use it for commercial purposes. Each license/account will cost them $59.95 per year.
Inother news, google offers FREE as in gratis, beer, and hot pr0n s3x, POP 3 email checker, that is right folks, get your (secure) pop3 access through gmail, and never have to look at that ugly, insecure javascript frame attrocity* again!

Give that man a cigar!! You really should be a lawyer or something:
noone has ever given me a good answer to that !
Great job, great answer.

WHAT IS DOES DO:
allow you to use your splashable [TM] (R) © device anywhere they have the 'splash here' sign (most probably smelling of urine...). SO this is one benefit... if you forget to charge your mobile device...
'splashable' (TM me!!) I claim splashable as a trademark!! ok... now screw off...

Just my stupid fscking
Should they just have copyright on the designs? Can they patent this, considering the previous work? What exactly have they achieved?
How is this going to work? Directional? What is the point?
I see some very scarey things happening when everyone has one of these... electrical fires for one, and home made ranged weapons as another!
What happens when you point some of these around electrical items such as computers?
Of course, heart regulators (batteries replaceable on the outside) are one of these applications / are already using this technology.
But all other devices, you would have to cradle anyway...
need to read more, but sounds stupid.
