Decisions, decisions.
Protect fragile **egos** from entitled children and get nothing done, or state things like they are and/or come off as a jerk in the process, while getting shit fixed...
I'll take the latter.
The "article" like points to a table where the figures mentioned in the blurb are the OLDEST values included, not the LATEST...:)
The trend is falling for Java ME, not the other way around.. Duh?
(universities being the objective, independent source of research results)
Oh, Rly? See This American Life from July 8th this year for an example of the opposite.
It seems like many universities (in this case Penn State) are more or less dependent on continuing economic support from "benefactors" in the gas industry and are stifling dissenters.
So they can rent a 10$ a month server in Tonga, install utorrent on it and stream the downloaded stuff via VPN with 100mbps?
Or just do as many I know, buy an account at a commercial Usenet host with SSL tunneling support and no logging, and just leech on..
Also, it is no surprise the traffic volume drops if people just grab what they need from usenet instead of keep seeding torrents for foreign peers to maintain quotas on regtrackers.
Just to clarify - Sweden does NOT have an government agency for dealing with intellectual property crime! The "anti-piracy agency" referred to by the article is just the direct translation of the name "Antipiratbyrån", a private organization with the stated aim to "protect the rights of the artists and publishers".
The Antipiratbyrån is more like the infamous US company MediaDefender, doing the hands-on dirty work of the MPAA/RIAA special interest organizations.

In the letter Tyler speaks of both his cryptos, comparing them, and points out the weakness of the first one, solved in 1992. For example:
"In the following specimen of this method, I have employed the Roman-capital, small letter, and small capital, with their several inversions, giving me the command of 130 characters, or an average of five to each letter."
I see no reason for him to say one thing and do another..
Any comments appreciated..
Another thing that might be of importance is that there are differences in the two images I found, compare picture 1 with picture 2.
What about reading off the characters in each of the alphabets, (ignoring spaces & other alphabets), to create a stream of "normalised" characters. ie. start reading all upper/small/right, then upper/small/upsidedown, etc. From there, attack the concatenated stream as an alphabetic substitution cypher, allowing reversed words.
Then look at the first 23 big capitals. The same letter is not used twice, all letters but J, R and Z are used once.
That speaks against a regular substitution encryption, unless the plaintext is written specifically for equal distribution of letters..
Here in Sweden several ISPs (check out Utfors) offer dial-up (PSTN and ISDN) accounts (including email accounts and web space) for free. I call a toll free number, and get billed by the ISP for the online time, at the rate as a local-call (approx 60 cents/hour).
There are no flat rates for dial-up access though, which has been bugging the more connected of us for some years now.
In the latest year the "broadband" market has exploded, and most people living in apartments are getting their homes connected.
On my street (20 houses * 30 apartments) every house has a switched 100 mbit cat6 ethernet, and switches are connected by fibre to the outside world. For this we pay a setup fee of $60 for which we get a 3C905 NIC and cabling, then $30 per month flat.
But of course, free modem dial-up accounts are nice too..:)

Just fixing shit, don't get offended now.
This was a one-sided hit piece if I ever saw one. What's with all the lobby-driven drivel increasingly being accepted to Slashdot?
"The article *link", sorry.

Yep, that would be milk, not milch. Stupid Babelfish.
Then google for "eierlegende Wollmilchsau", a hilarious german expression I stumbled upon recently. It means literally "egg-laying woolly milch sow".
Definition Babelfished from german for your pleasure.

SUSE-9.1-personal-iso.torrent
The current version available for download is actually v8, with a major release in v9 imminent.
The newer builds are so far only for read-write media such as a hard drive or (as in the case of the hardware MeshBox) a CompactFlash card.
There is a lot of activity on the mailing list, and I recommend anyone interested in participating to subscribe.

Would it be possible to make the server relay for instance shoutcast streams to the player? Or maybe the player could be made to stream them directly?

Everybody should read the Letter from W. B. Tyler to Poe before guessing about the crypto!
In the letter Tyler speaks of both his cryptos, comparing them, and points out the weakness of the first one, solved in 1992.
For example:
"In the following specimen of this method, I have employed the Roman-capital, small letter, and small capital, with their several inversions, giving me the command of 130 characters, or an average of five to each letter."

~cybe's two cents

I believe there could a difference between:
