coolio :)
-
is the best bb imo ;)
is there any reason we are specifically using this one ?
... with phpbb there are a multitude of plugins etc for embedding content
-
i hope it never gets cracked lol
.... just on the basis i bet some pretty important stuff / data is stored / controlled this way ... you can see the scenario super power vs super power
very interesting how they do it tho

Stand down, laser wielding hackers: quantum cryptography is not vulnerable to blinding laser attacks after all. At least, that's the view of a bunch of quantum mechanics at Toshiba's lab in Cambridge, UK, who say they have recreated a recently-discovered quantum hack and claim to have found a way to defeat it.
In quantum cryptography, the digital codes used to scramble secret documents, pictures and video - encryption keys - are are encoded in photons transmitted through an optical fibre. To ensure that no attacker intercepts the key during transmission, the polarisation angle of these photons is known. The security comes from the fact that, by the spooky laws of quantum mechanics, any attempt to intercept those photons changes this quantum property. So if the received polarisations are wrong, the receiver knows their channel has been compromised.
In the September edition of the journal Nature Photonics, however, a Norwegian/German cryptanalysts showed that if the photon detector commonly used in quantum cryptography is 'blinded' by a bright, pulsing laser beam, an eavesdropper can easily read off the secret keys being transmitted as voltages dropped across the resistor that sets the detector's operating voltage. And the receiver is none the wiser to the interception.
Not so, Toshiba now says in the December issue of the same journal. "We've shown that the detector blinding attack is completely ineffective, provided that the single photon detectors are operated correctly," says the firm in a statement issued today.
By removing the troublesome resistor and ensuring the single photon detector (which generates a vast "avalanche" of electrons on receipt of a photon) operates at the correct sensitivity level, the firm says the blinding flash attack simply cannot work.
To the uninitiated, this spat might sound a poor advert for the technology - but it is in fact a sign of vigorous health in the field. All cryptographic routines that are worth their salt go through a process of attack and fix - ultimately ensuring it's as secure as possible. The RSA and AES encryption algorithms that protect our banking data, for instance, have been through such hoops. In crypto, it's a case of no pain, no gain.
i copied the whole article bc theyre only available for a while

it makes audible beeps ie tones ... and im sure its not the handset ... it only does it when im on the line to certain people
its even dropped calls for no reason but im pretty sure its got nothing to do with me or the person receiving the call
it might just be my link ... but i cant be sure b/c as soon as i start doing anything dodgy it starts doing it more lol :)
oh well .... even if it was / is / has been what a waste of time ... im no criminal virus programming ddos uber cr-h4cker

cool dude it happens intermittently throughout the year ... but it always seems to start happening more when im up to 'no good' or have a lot of people round my house.
and since gt5 came out i've had a house full most nights of the week
-
very good point :)
im sure with the facebook power of todays age you could ddos without software :D just people power
ddos is illegal for a very important reason ... imagine what industrial / commercial sabotage could be caused to you competitors / rivals
disgruntled members of the public shouldn't be charged for ddos against commercial sites (if they have a good enough reason for carrying out their actions)

how can you tell if someone is tapping your phone ?
my phone is making weird noises in call ?? lool
it beeps time to time on certain calls & sometimes the other person cant hear me even though the line is clear ?
surely this wouldn't mean the phone was tapped or would it ?

btw if you really want to use flash ... u need adobe flash ... i prefer the older macromedia versions tho
-
what they said ... css can do 'animation' to some degree ie simple rollover rollout mousedown effects etc
flash is pants imo html and css are all you should need with alittle dhtml and javascript ;)
flash is good for games and interactive designs ... gif are widely compatible
.... you could make 2 versions of the site with links to both from a splash screen but i think this is shit too

my thread just got pwned lol

That is so freaking sweet, the only issue I see with that is dust accumulating over it.
But if love your computer and is occasionally cleaning it, should't be a problem.
a perspex surround would stop 90% the noise and the dust :D

i have 2 UPS units in my shed lol but they're broken :(
-
lol i always have the side off my case anyway :D

lol they have cosmetic damage atm but it doesn't affect your car ... i heard a rumour that they'd be updating in december with mechanical damage ... one of the achievements is to break a piece off your car i still havmt managed to do this yet and have 68% completed it lol :)
