If it allows chemical energy to be converted to electrical energy, there's your battery
So, the engine in my car is a battery? (converts gas to electricity (with motion as a by-product:-))
I don't know, if I've got chronic pain, and I can take something to make it stop, I'm going to form a habbit to take it, reenforced by pain whenever I don't:-)
If I remember correctly, PGP encrypts the entire message with 'normal' (not public-key) encryption, then encrypts the key with public-key encryption. So, you could send the message to 1000 people, and not have the message included 1000 times. You would however have a 1000 copies of the key (1024 bits?), all encrypted with a different private key.
But then I can up the length of the hash collision so that it _still_ takes the spammers 10 seconds to compute. The computation is scalable. Sure, it might take someone with an old 486 a long time to send me a message, but it's not like the dedicated hardware is likely to be more than 1000 times faster than a modern cpu. 10000 cpu seconds is a long time (~3 hours), but I don't think it's likely that the hardware co-processor is really going to be 1000 times faster...
There's no reason to involve money (dollars) to stop spam, make them spend CPU cycles instead. Take a look on google for 'hashcash'. Basically, it involves the sender computing a function that takes a long time to figure out, but is very easy for the receiver to verify. So, if i want to send you mail, I spend ~10 cpu seconds, and you verify that I spent the time, and you accept the mail. If I don't compute the function, you sideline/reject the mail. Whitelists can be used to prevent always needing to compute the function. That way I can accept mail from anyone who might be willing to send me mail, if they are willing to spend the CPU cycles. However, since spammers would need to spend 10 seconds per message, they could only send about 1000 messages per day. That wouldn't be economically viable for them...
There was a great cartoon in the paper this weekend. The scene was a classroom, and a kid with a laptop. The bubble coming from the kid was something like: "Miss Wormwood, Google beggs to differ.":-)
If I care about an issue enough to click a link in an email sent to me by a group I belong to, I care about the issue. Or at least I think the people running the group I belong to care about the same issues that I do, so I'm willing to say I care about their issues. Regardless of whether I read the letter "I'm sending". On the other hand, if I sit down and write out a letter in cursive or block letters by hand, put it in an envelope and pay $0.37 to mail it to the editor it's likely the issue is something I really do care about. Sure, I _might_ care about the two different issues just as much. But how much I care sure shows more in the later case.
While ignoring the fact that it's really easy to sail a 40' sailboat right up to the base of market street, regardless of where you've been, and whether or not you're carrying a nuke...
Yes, but if the attacker has access to encrypted (not just signed) documents, then as soon as your private key is compromised, so are the documents. If you weren't worried about the attacker getting ahold of the documents in their encrypted form, you wouldn't worry about encrypting the document at all.
I've found that with a lot of dogs (haven't met yours) that just acting like a bad-ass will usually cow them, or at least make them less likely to press an attack. Something about pack dynamics...
Ripping to VOBs makes more sense than ripping to WAV, since VOBs are already lossyly compressed and decompressing and recompressing even more lossy makes the quality even worse. If I wanted VHS quality, I'd use VHS...

You missed my point. If the OGG license restricts how it can be wrapped, then would it be possible to enforce a lincense which says that you can distribute the content, but not wrapped in TCP packets? Real doesn't have to modify the OGG format, nor use any existing software (and be bound by that license). So why shouldn't Real be able to take an open file format (OGG), and encrypt it any wrapper they like? How would a license which restricts that be enforcable? You can't copyright file formats...
But if the OGG license restricts the content represented by that format I'd be surprised.

So, it's illegal for me to record one of my songs in OGG, then encrypt it so I can put it on my website and still only have my friends listen to it? Wow, that's some license...
Why did he [Steve Jobs] choose KHTML? Probably because it was the easiest *fast* html renderer to modify and create a new web browser with. CEO Steve knows that reinventing the wheel costs too much in today's economy.
God Forbid that Steve was the one picking KHTML. I hope that some at least 3 levels down, who still knows how to read code picked KHTML, not Steve, who reads balance sheets and market trends.
My last job switched from CVS to clearcase. Big mistake. Required a full-time admin, and the source was still unavailable ~5% of the time, and if the repository is down, so is your sandbox:-(
Read the article, it talked about superconductors at 138K...however, for materials you 'don't expect' to superconduct, they typically do superconduct, but at around 2-3K.
I'm sure the IP happy 4 letter Orgs are talking with Bush right now. Watch for an invasion force to start massing on the US northern border with the intent of bringing these terrorists to justice!
That's the thing. I checked the channel lineup change messages, but they didn't include messages for channels I marked as 'don't receive', since if I don't receive them, why should I care that it switched from GALA to KUPN (or whatever the switch was).

Hey, if someone wants to spend lots of money to send me spam I'm just going to round-file, that's fine. I hope they send lots! :-)
I don't think you can fit 142 ports in a 1U switch :-)
