Last I checked, air gaps (to the extent of TEMPEST shielding to avoid crosstalk between nets) were still in use to physically separate classified and unclassified networks.
Of course, if someone was stupid enough to physically transfer data from classified to unclassified nets, like what that dude at Lawrence Livermore (I think?) did, by accident, that is a problem. And of course, social engineering. But HOW MANY TIMES MUST IT BE SAID, YOU CAN'T HACK INTO THE REAL SECRET STUFF VIA THE INTERNET!!!
Wasn't it Yamauchi himself who said not so long ago, that essentially, after Square left Nintendo for Sony, that Square would be allowed to develop for Nintendo platforms again, over his dead body?
I don't get it...

How to Save PGP
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
The commerical PGP is only one implementation of the open PGP standard. Even up to 6.5.8, full source code was available from Network Associates.
Plus, there is GPG, PGPi, and other freeware implementations of the standard (under the umbrella of OpenPGP.org).
I don't see why "PGP" as a whole is going down.
It's like saying if Microsoft or Netscape decided to stop relasing browsers, then the entire WWW is doomed, when there's still Konquerer, Opera, Mozilla, and the whole W3C standards body, etc...
Mozilla and Netscape may seem identical, but they are very different:
Even though it was started by Netscape, and Netscape employees make up a significant portion of its developers, mozilla.org is the independent and nonprofit organization to oversee the open source development of the Mozilla browser and its related technologies. mozilla.org's products are free for any company, organization, or individual, to use. They are free to create their own branded products based on mozilla.org's goods. mozilla.org's products are all open source and are meant for developers and testers, not the average computer user.
Also keep in mind that mozilla.org recieves contributions from such large corporations such as IBM and Sun Microsystems, and countless small firms and volunteers.
Netscape Communications is a commercial company, and they make commercial products for regular computer users and businesses.
This is where the distinction between Mozilla and Netscape seems to blur to some people: In order for Netscape to make Netscape 6 they have to use mozilla.org's work. This involves getting that code from mozilla.org, adding modifications and non-open source parts such as plug-ins, branding it with the appropriate logos and copyrights, testing and stabilizing it, and then release it for download. In other words, Netscape 6 is based on Mozilla, but Netscape 6 is not Mozilla, and Mozilla is not Netscape 6.
This method is similar to how Linux distributors, such as Red Hat, make their own branded and commercial releases of Linux, since Red Hat is not Linux, and Linux is not Red Hat. Red Hat merely uses Linux, and Linux developers have no control over what Red Hat does.
The nature of Mozilla and mozilla.org also allows anyone to create a product based on Mozilla. For example, Nokia and Intel demonstrated prototype Internet appliances in late-1999 using Mozilla. Because of Mozilla's modularity, a scaled down version of Mozilla was the browser used in these test products.
I'm an American businessman in the import-export business, so as you might guess, my frequent travels take me to many places around the world, on every continent.
Anyhow, I wanted to share my experience in the "great" country of China.
So, I was in Shenzhen China last December for about a week on business. A bit of background: Shenzhen, like Hong Kong and a few other places, is a "Special Economic Zone" that the Chinese government set up to try and give foreigners the illusion that China really ISN'T a drab, decaying fascist state that's economically languishing behind the rest of the world. Here, rules are relaxed and capitalism is encouraged, not surppressed. Well, let me tell you this, if this is China's best, then I'd hate to see the worst.
Anyways, when I stepped off the train from Hong Kong (which was no paradise itself, as that place has gone down the shitter since the Brits left) I was shocked. The whole place smelled like a combination of vomit and dog shit that had been left out in the sun for a day or so. And it was probably BECAUSE there was vomit and dog shit all over. I almost retched, and I've certainly been in some sketchy places in my travels but NOTHING like this.
People spit everywhere. Trash litters the streets. I found myself looking DOWNWARD much more than looking FORWARD when I walked.
Noise pollution is endemic. It doesn't help that their infernal language consists of abrupt rapid fire tones that is a cacophony for any human ear to bear. How do they speak and listen to that shit without going crazy all day long is beyond me.
Anyways, Chinamen stink -- literally. There is no concept of personal hygiene whatsoever. Meetings with even top officials were hourlong sessions of having to endure hot sweaty bodies and rancid breath eminating from mouths missing a few teeth. Geez, at least use deodorant for crying out loud.
The hypocrisy, corruption, and double-standards from the highest levels of government on over are the norm at the same time China opens up to the world. Foreigners get charged as much as five times for transportation, lodging, food, and everything else.
Traffic is horrible. Rules are non-existent except for at traffic lights: red means to go fast, green means to go REALLY REALLY fast.
The Chinese people themselve are pretty apathetic and everyone just wants to get out of that hell hole, so you see smuggling rings shipping people out hidden in truck beds and ships, all too often with tragic results.
The whole country, in my assessment is a lost case. Even the cheap labor can be found in Southeast Asia or Mexico. Same goes for pirated stuff -- SE Asia and Eastern Europe will keep on churning them out.
Anyways, the one redeeming quality were the girls. I paid 100 yuan (about $12 US) for a great fuck, with a 16 year old who seemed quite new and "unblemished" if you get my drift. Boy, was she tight, made all the right noises, sucked and fucked all night long and let me cum all over her. Much better than even the vaunted Thai whores, and worlds apart from anything in Las Vegas or in Europe. Best bargain I have EVER found in my life!
So yeah, screw the hell hole that's China. I'd say nuke the entire damn place and put that whole society out of its misery, and let another country rise up from the ashes, if I were in Bush's seat -- were it not for the girls.
Yes all that is true, but I don't think you can really learn to fly by looking at the airplane blueprints alone, which is what the FAA is proposing to release! This has nothing to do with 9/11!
The flying and the designing of the plane are two DIFFERENT things.
Do I have a decent chance of using telnet, ssh, or playing Counterstrike with this wireless network?
I know for satellites, you can't realistically do any of the above -- hopefully, with the transmitters on the ground and not in geosynchronous orbit, it will be better.

Linux kernel hacking, of course! What else?
However, the 9210 will not be... =(
They block all non Apple or Lucas referrals, not just Slashdot. I tried linking from my personal home page, and it failed as well.
They are blocking ALL non Apple, non Lucas HTTP referrals, it seems, not just Slashdot. I tried linking from my own personal page, and it failed.
Feline Poop!
They said they compared the simulation with an actual underground test. How did it measure up? The article didn't say.
Or is that secret?

September 11 happened because of poor airport and airline security, not because the terrorists had knowledge of the design of the aircraft itself.
Besides, we are talking about old aircraft that are no longer being flown by airlines.
If not, Sony is really missing out on a good opportunity here. The DreamCast had such a capability.
Umm, should the indians worry about feeding their own and eliminating bubonic plague as a major cause of death before they build stuff like this?
What will Palm do with it? Does it fit in to their plans? Any chance of releasing some stuff open source?
It's Chinese -- basically, a "nasal" sound. "n" with your tongue against the top of your mouth.
ISPs should block port 25 (TCP/SMTP) to all servers other than their own. This prevents lusers from using open relays to email their spams.
Most major ISPs I think already do this, but there are many smaller ones that do not.
Sorry, proper grammar doesn't exist, either, so it seems.
This site is from Yale, and Bush, whose use of the English language is not the most eloquent and proper among US presidents, went to Yale.
I wonder if there's a correlation....
Feline poop!

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these chips!

Go back to cleaning toilets or picking fruit like the rest of your countrymen.
With all this crap to deal with, why not just listen to the good old analog radio?
Or will the RIAA get the US govt to ban that as well (like the banning of analog TV broadcast after 2010 (??)) ?
