Doesn't the implicit error correction present in ethernet protocols solve most of those problems? Can't the rest be solved by limiting the bandwidth of the signals being transmitted? Just asking...
2- He's a friend of some known trolls, such as CmderTaco, MondoMor, sllort, Trollback (check out his journal) and BankofAmerica_ATM.
Some other interesting things about trolls you may not have known about yet:
1- Trolltalk (which you can read here), a hidden story at slashdot where trolls discuss their trollish affairs (I don't know how/when/by who this was created...)
2- Trollback's journal, where the current state and news of trolling are discussed each month.
Conclusion - there are a LOT of immature people who waste their time by trying to annoy others at the internet. What a waste of neurons and oxygen!
Many advertisements have nothing to do with the products they refer to. I used to think this was stupid (and in many cases it is), but it's obviously absolutely done on purpose - the important part is that it captures the attention of people to the TV, before the brand/product name appears...
Even if people didn't know which company did the ad, it's very possible that the information did creep into their subconscious. This is a known fact for advertisments...
I don't understand how one can disallow anyone from making a emulator of your own machine... Theoretically, I don't even need to use their software/hardware to write one, so how can they enforce those terms on me?
I was thinking of posting this anonymously, but I didn't. Feel free to mod me as troll or anything else you want, but before that just think - how would you react if they were doing this to your own software project?
A nice letter is not as much as those guys deserve... They are scammers and deserve to be trusted as such.
I think the same as you about that matter, but the chinese researchers have already released the paper containing the full details (I think) of their method:
BitComet is also not Open Source. I may be confused, but doesn't that mean that they're violating the licence?
No, since it's not based on the original code... I don't think Bram Cohen has licensed the bittorrent protocol as GPL or a similar license, I even doubt that it's possible to do...
Bottom line - anyone is free to implement different programs which use the protocol...
GS: Do you see any limitations in what the PPU can accomplish due to overhead issues associated with offloading work and transferring it across the system bus?
TS: The computations driving physics simulation and collision detection make use of a large amount of static data that needs to be uploaded to the hardware once, and a smaller amount of dynamic data that needs to be transferred per frame. This is the same usage pattern as a modern GPU, where huge textures and vertex buffers change infrequently, while the smaller rendering commands need to be sent each frame. The PPU or GPU then expends an enormous amount of parallel computing power in computing the result, but the result itself is fairly compact. A GPU's frame buffer is a few megabytes, and a PPU's result matrices will be similarly compact. So, the PCI Express or even PCI bus will be plenty fast to accommodate the required traffic.
The fact that the chinese researchers have brought down the time needed for finding collisions, means that the algorithm is broken indeed, since it was supposed to require brute force.
It's true that the attack is still on the "far edge of feasibility" (as someone put it - Schneier maybe). But it's also true that the attack hasn't even been revealed yet, so many people haven't yet had the chance to improve on this result, basing their work on the weaknesses found...
I'm not a cryptographer or standards-setter, but I agree with the grandparent - algorithms based on SHA shouldn't be used on new standards...

I'm really enjoying these trolls about the threat of China. A new trend or had I missed this one? :)
:P
Keep it up!

I didn't read the article, here are some numbers I pulled out of my ass.

The important question is... Can one do some glasses which work like that? ;)
I've already added this troll to my foes list, I hope you'll feel compelled to do the same to him (and a few others) after reading this.
1- He's a known copyright infringer, so he has no moral at all to post stuff like this.
2- He's a friend of some known trolls, such as CmderTaco, MondoMor, sllort, Trollback (check out his journal) and BankofAmerica_ATM.

I haven't yet read it very attentively. What do you think is missing, specifically?

Yeah, so I guess they can't bother the PearPC developers at all for developing this program...
Well, if nothing else this has made a few more people know about this... I hadn't heard about this yet, for example :)

Oops, I meant "deserve to be TREATED as such". A Freudian slip?
Why don't we all send a nice letter to the makers of CherryOS? Here are some email addresses:
mail@cherryos.com; press@cherryos.com; info@mxsinc.com; arben@vx30.com; vx30@mauionline.com

As I see it, this file is completely valid. There is no space after User-agent, maybe slashcode or the original poster inserted it.
Also, according to the standard, unrecognized headers are supposed to be ignored...
The MPAA doesn't care a bit about this bittorrent client. Most movie sharers use clients such as Azureus or BitComet...
Who said you don't have bittorrent? It's possible that you have an older version :)
I suspect that the reason is more like - the file is so small, it's not worth it to post a torrent for it.
No, since it's not based on the original code... I don't think Bram Cohen has licensed the bittorrent protocol as GPL or a similar license, I even doubt that it's possible to do...

Damn, did that article really have to be posted by him?
:)
Just when I was looking for his nickname in this page, I found it on the main post... Slashot's a small place after all
A hot geek helping a bunch of geeks getting a KISS, with her robotics knowledge? My brain is hurting already...
Judging by this, I'd say no :)
Great sig, congratulations :D
