    Yes so it is, thanks for pointing that out. I make it out to be 6x6, so thats 36 pixels and only 32 bits. Ohwell; if anyone knows what algorithm it uses, please do tell.

    On the bitmap, and IP address is 4bytes, or 32bits. On a black and white bitmap you can map each 1 to a white, 0 to a black and add a fixxed width and bingo your bitmap.
    The poker could be done in a pretty much the same way just convert it to a diffent base, and look at what digits you get.

  3. Re:A little epoxy will fix that right up. on When Data Goes Missing Will You Even Know? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You can disable drivers in windows also, you know. It only requires you to be an administrator and know how to use regedit.

    I know what sort of server would not have nethack on it? I have just logined to our Windows 2003 server from my mobile phone for a quick game but *gasp*, it was not to be found.
    Windows Server is just not ready for the mainstream.

    Yes, but in that case you are not painting over it; but rather not adhering to it.

    Well all we need is to add an extra bit to the end and we will of double the address-space.
    Sure we will have a unneeded overhead on most years but it is years like this that if we just sit back and watch it will overflow.

  21. Re:Misinformation about ActiveX/DCOM on Korea Post Office Supports XPCOM Based E-Banking · · Score: 1

    ActiveX makes use of thw windows API to do everything, firefox is only writen in XML with gecko making it all work.
    Gecko is ment to run on non-windows system aswel as on windows, making use of the windows api in linux is about as good as using POSIX on windows.
    To add activeX to gecko's windows codebase would just spilt the userbase.

  24. Re:Chaos too harsh a word on DirectNIC Crisis Manager Braves the Chaos of New Orleans · · Score: 1

    You fail it.
    What you just said about socialism, would better fit an overbearing system such as soviet capitalism.
    Socialists want people to eat, drink and be merry not to die as a result of all the rich people taking all the food, oil and trasport that causes the rest to die.
    Give people guns in an event like this and you will be risking more lifes then otherwise, people will kill each other over the little food and water left.
    And selling food at a time like this, is just sickening. You would rather many people died to motivate the ones who can afford your no-doubt inflated prices, to buy.

    Yes, yes, I know should not the feeding the trolls, but...
