I've kept this a secret to the whole community, but
I invented this super hard-to-crack encryption routine
called ROT26x(tm). There are other off-springs in the
multiples of its own 26 bits (52, 78, 104...etc).
The cool part of it is that once you encrypt your stuff,
it is soo hard to crack, because the outcome looks exactly
like the original text you encrypted!
The larger the multiples, the more its difficult to
crack (disclaimer:higher bits will be very cpu-intensive,
and will take longer to encrypt)
Or is it a better idea to find the vulnerabilities as fast as possible, damn the consequences?
I'm not sure if people would agree, but in my opinion,
looking back at history, I think the consumers (which is most
of us I suppose?) got fed up with vendors not dealing with the
vulnerablities of their software (and some of them going out of
their way and sometimes calling it a "feature").
Pretty soon it became a trend to disclose known vulns -- for
leverage? -- everybody getting together because they wanted
a solution - a fix - so they stop getting screwed (again and
again) and here we are today, with added hype, and business
models which creates just another revenue stream.
Whether code of conduct or not (which the article seems to argue)
I'm not wise enough to boldly say which is good or bad, but if at
least someone nice enough discloses a problem, it would surely
make me feel a little better because I could make choices to
think about it and do something about it (and maybe help others?).
Thats another reason why I chose to use open source OSs/softwares
as much as possible (not that I'm siding with any side), because if
something needed done, I could open the hood up and see, think, and
most likely fix something about it, instead of "working around" some
problem and knowing that its not fixed.
just my opinion
(sorry if this was a little off topic)
could this be like the basic building block of a future t-1000 from t2???
supposedly mix a network of nano-chips and it might be able to morph...
am i too far off?
cool idea though right?;)
not sure exactly if you want to go the hardware way,
and not sure if what I mention meets your criteria,
but if you can set up a single linux box as a router
some place, that box can run openvpn (server) while
each client can hook up to it with the openvpn client
software (windoze client too;)
trivial to set up: http://www.openvpn.org/
Is the other half of your ass posting on slashdot, then?;)
yeah, most of the time;)
maybe thats why asses have two cheeks
so we can choose to be half-assed on will?:)
well, myself being a half-breed born in japan
between a japanese mom and an american dad
just might help my cause too;)
and then get the hell out of the way of the developers so that they can do their jobs. [...] Developers are like artists; they produce their best work if they have the freedom to do so, but they need good tools
gee, i wish my boss(es) was/were like that
just so we didn't have to end up doing
half-assed jobs with half-assed resources
ending up in half-assed products...
(and maybe half-assed revenue?)

Was this type of thing called a "joe-job"? (cant
:)
remember, sorry)
I wish I could help, but I am also in the same position
as you and I also was not able to find a solution.
Fellow readers, your input would be valuable
thanks in advance...
probably a few days for it to complete formatting ;)
now we maybe able to find out who actually shot JFK,
and if lucky enough, the where-abouts of Elvis too!
*duck*
"Gates for President"
huh? screw that
RMS for President!

cool idea though right?
driver quality?
yeah I understand, but where do we submit the
operating system quality?
they keep coming up with lawn mower solutions
and never get to the root or the seed of it do
they?

maneuvered by compressed CO2 thrusters.
;p
hmm, so thats how they move...
just fart their way around.
I could probably do that at zero g
OTOH, seriously speaking, wont the co2 add
up to the ISS environment hazard?
That should be http://www.openvpn.net/.net, not
oh crap!
apologies, and thanks for the correction!
dont know what the heck I was drinking...
