As I work my way into moderation mode, I don't expect to sort math or other off-topic posts into the flam (flames & spam) list. In retrospect, the previous "creeps" comment should probably have gotten the post sorted to the flam list. Oh well, I'll get up to speed pretty soon, I hope.

A sworn member of the holy order of the restitution for the crimes of my enemies, has an explosive device buried within h[is/er] bowels. When (s)he goes up, alone, (s)he will take 100+ enemies with h[im/er]. Of course (s)he has to be willing to die, or be duped into thinking that (s)he really has appendicitis. So a courier would still be easy to find. Or, a cancer infected member of said religious cult, knowing that (s)he will soon die anyway, and probably atone for h[is/er] many sins, ((s)he hasn't really done anything rightous, like kill one of the enemy), chooses to have h[is/er] cancerous bowels, up to the stomache, removed, and replaced with a bomb. (s)he then heals up a little while, being fed intraveinously, until the time of h[is/er] atonement. A makeup artist erases the signs of disease that (s)he carries and a large dose of pain killer is given to h[im/er] to take right before entering the airport. (s)he dies knowing that (s)he is going straight past heaven to an even higher level.

I don't get this at all. You have particular knowledge in the field, but instead of sharing the information with the rest of us, you find our (apparently) pathetic attempts to gain understanding to be "extremely annoying" and imply we need to be chewed out.

AltaVista Tunnel
by Rick Osborne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The Digital / Microsoft "Driving Force" tour is in our parking lot today and I got the opportunity to have a look around. One of the 'stations' inside the truck is on intranets. They were showing off a product called "AltaVista Tunnel" which I assume is their PPTP product. I say "I assume" because the guy showing it off had absolutely no clue what he was talking about. He triumphantly exclaimed that the encryption was 128-bit, but when I said "128-bit what?" he cowered and muttered that he didn't know and went on with his little speech. The rest of my crypto-specific questions met with equal dark stares. And these are the people setting industry standards... _________ o s b o r n e @ g a t e w a y . g r u m m a n . c o m _________ Real programmers programs never work right the first time. But if you throw them on the machine they can be patched into working in only a few 30-hours debugging sessions.

DES keyspace
by Joel McNamara 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Is anyone coordinating (formally or informally) which chunks of the keyspace has been searched for the DES challenge? Yes, I know all the arguments about potential fraud and verification, but it would be nice to have a Web site that informally listed what had been scanned so far (verified or not). Did I perhaps miss something and this is already out there? URLs appreciated if so. If it doesn't exist, I'd be willing to host a site and play coordinator... Joel

Think they are trying to expand the harrassment laws to directly effect the E world, but I would think the laws on harrassment would apply anyhow (provided your in their domain, but then again thats true for all governments...) --- How has the government interfered in your life today?
