It's not locking up, it's just poorly programmed. It's hanging on the connection attempts, since the MTX servers exploded.
Disconnect your internet when you start it. You'll then have to grab the game's.mtx files elsewhere and manually install in MTX while it is in offline mode.
Truecrypt is not the same thing as PGP/GPG. Truecrypt is great, mind you, but it is not public key cryptography and signing, with web-of-trust. It's just data encryption and hiding.
The difference is that the potential loss of life in flight is higher (and with a higher fatality chance... sure they don't crash nearly as often, but I'd argue that the percentage of fatalities vs injuries or walk-aways is much higher).
Also, aircraft are a hell of a lot more expensive, and when they DO have a mishap, can ruin properties way beyond what a pileup can do (ie, one crash can take out a good 10 homes and damage more)
(some other interesting ones) 0000 - military intercept code (apparently used with drones) 7777 - military interception (ie, possibly supersonic with weapons hot)
yea... the ALT HOLD goes off for whatever reason, and the plane begins a slow descent. Nobody notices because the only indication of this is the little ALT HOLD light turned yellow (instead of green).
The next alarm you are gonna be getting is the radar altimeter annunciator (5 HUNDRED... 4 HUNDRED... 3 HUNDRED) and LOW ALTITUDE.
By that point, assuming nobody was looking outside, you don't have much time to react.
(though, I'd also hope you had a fancy new transponder that could report altitude (and that you hadn't turned that function off) so that ATC might yell at you first)

Multiplayer was fun.
Picture this:
CTF map, in city.
Everyone else is using gigantic mechs with cookie-cutter configurations.
I'm in a Raven (one of the smallest, and fastest) with Jump Jets.
hehe, the bastards couldn't ever hit me! I would grab the flag and just tease them.
This isn't a mod.
It's MW4: Mercenaries with a mechpack installed.

Then you don't have a datacenter. Which is what this is in regards to (not server "rooms")
By them giving me said key through any other secure means, including physically.
You got me with MIT. Though, do you really trust random for-profit over MIT?
In addition to what profplump just said, you realize that MIT isn't a "company"? It's an educational institution.
Besides, you don't even NEED keyservers for the system to function.
don't forget <blockquote />
... which rely on companies.
GPG doesn't. It's not centralized, by nature.
Not that I am aware of, but then I am no fan of web-based anything but web pages (so, I can't say I've looked for a solution like what you ask for).
Or an idiot.
I've got to pull/clean lots of Fedora-Core 7 (or older) dedicated servers because of inept customers.
Which is great and all, for everyone who don't have a magical CA available to them, or the cash to shell out to a commercial CA.
Start reading.
You apparently have a very minimal understanding of what SSL/TLS actually are.
Truecrypt is not the same thing as PGP/GPG. Truecrypt is great, mind you, but it is not public key cryptography and signing, with web-of-trust. It's just data encryption and hiding.
GnuPG (gpg) is the underlying tools and libraries. As locklin states parralel to me, there are plenty of GUIs out there.
Have a look but realize that there are even more out there, these are just the hilights.
Thanks!
Er, what? Can you rephrase that in a way that is at least comprehensible?
I like how you just made up a word (sinonimous) and took "just makes him a loser" out of context.
Because at slashdot: Me > You > The System
Ideally, yes - they would check their "T" before they go about doing anything.... but really. Do you want to risk that?
Erm... I thought Cleese was part of the troupe?
I'm going to repeat something I said to someone else earlier with a similar remark.
That's probably a bad idea.
Should an emergency happen, imagine just how easily you might mix up a number from the simulator with what reality dictates?
Oh shit, I thought we were 15,000 feet higher than that!

Indeed. For a pilot to stop responding but not change his squawk to 7600 (or 7500...) screams "pilots in trouble!"
7500 - Unlawful Interference (ie, hijack)
7600 - Communications failure
7700 - Emergency
(some other interesting ones)
0000 - military intercept code (apparently used with drones)
7777 - military interception (ie, possibly supersonic with weapons hot)
