<0> The whole point behind wireless was to get freedom from cables.
<1> can somebody help me with suse linux about the wireless internet it disconnect everytime from my router
<2> K_F: you think that because you don't have fileserver, or a better wan connection
<3> koollman: my fileserver has a TB of storage, it is quite decent
<0> koollman: I have a file server with over a TB
<0> koollman: But it makes no difference when using linux seeing as migration can occur at any speed you'd like if you have mounted parititions via nfs that may as well act like normal partition
<2> well ... throughput count for me, to use the fileserver correctly ...
<3> well, my fileserver is all 256bit twofish enrypted
<3> encrypted*
<0> If you're not realizing what I just said, then you're not using it "correctly"
<3> and the files I work on are mostly OOo documents
<4> 2fish is an unusual choice
<3> larger files I generally only use through the command line
<3> DaveHowe: you'd prefer rijndael?
<3> wait, some drives uses blowfish...
<4> K_F: actually don't have a preference - got a depreference for 3des, despite its proven security, due to its stupidly high processor cost
<3> one insecure item about my system is that I use cryptoloop, so I'm open to a watermark attack
<3> but as I'm protecting files I create myself it doesn't matter
<4> K_F: would probably consider 128 bit enough for almost anything but nat-sec level stuff - but would consider blow/twofish to be a little off the beaten track when it comes to solutions - aes is more widely supported
<3> DaveHowe: aes == rijndael
<3> it was chosed over blowfish due to lower memory requirements (on embedded devies mostly)
<4> K_F: oddly enough, I know that yes :)
<3> twofish is an improved version of blowfish in many aspects, but got too late to be in the AES process
<4> aes is usually noticably faster than both idea and cast in streaming tests - haven't seen speed comparisons or gate-level comparisons against blow, but of course they exist for two...
<3> blowfish for one has a problem with data leakage because of too small blocks
<4> erm, no. two was written explicitly for the aes - it was a final-round candidate
<3> DaveHowe: blowfish has rather good throughput
<3> DaveHowe: got showed down because it was too new
<3> hmm, wonder where I have that paper...
<4> K_F: I don't doubt it - but haven't seen speed or security comparisons because it was never a target candidate during aes
<4> K_F: no newer than most - serpent and rijndael were no older really
<3> wait, I'm talking bull here
<5> :-)
<3> hehe
<4> K_F: you seem to have wandered into a field I am reasonably good at :)
<4> K_F: as there aren't many of those, its a small target - but you hit it square on ;)
<3> I'm generally also, but no idea how I messed up blowfish && twofish for AES..
<3> crypto is fun anyways
<6> Dave: something you *admit* to being good at?!
<3> and what started all this... I'm not worried about max throughput, not like I'm editing movies
<4> smsie: I did say *reasonably* good ;)
<6> I thought it was your policy NEVER to admit being more than "slightly competent" on the premise that you appear godlike. You're a maaster of expectation management
<3> I'm storing documents of different sorts, largest files are generally presentations
<3> hehe
<4> smsie: I am reasonably good at a couple of things, not much really. I do dns almost to the point of competence..
<4> smsie: and apparently that lot at work now believe I can recognise a packet log given a long run up and an instruction book...
<3> haven't done any fun analysis lately, maybe I'll crunch some numbers tomorrow..
<6> DaveHowe: they'll leanr...if they're any good, they'll learn fast :)
<7> They'll lean right?
<6> that too
<4> Viking667: I wonder which chip has an opcode for physical orientation. unless its some sort of restricted forth for low-gatecount astronomy sites....
<6> DaveHowe: umm, surely chips only have one correct orientation?
<4> smsie: Probably. I more got lucky than showed high skill levels in the more recent case, but like most such things, it impressed the hell out of my boss - which is good, with my probation review coming up...
<4> smsie: dunno. yours appears to have an upright, right lean, and (implicitly) a left lean :)
<6> :)
<6> would reduce the number of useful pins
<4> smsie: with or without a graph of number of insertions vs pins remaining?
<6> :)
<4> (formerly seen only on datasheets for write-only memory)
<6> maybe a flippable chip would be possible
<4> would that xor all the bits?
<7> It would be... You just have to duplicate wiring
<6> :)
<3> later all
<8> later K_F
<6> Viking667: I was thinking more a chip where the pins are different on each side, and go into a csocket which accepts both sides. a pin whose presence or absence denotes which side is which would be needed
<7> night K_F
<7> ahhhh.
<7> That may or may not work, depending upon chip complexity.
<7> Imagine for a FPGA chip (Socket 370?)
<4> might be an interesting idea for a storage device. have one pinset write-only, and the other read only
<6> Viking667: I was thinking of a custom socket
<4> only way to edit the chip is to physically remove it from the board and invert it...
<7> Ahh.h
<4> at which point you can write to it - but can't read what is written
<6> DaveHowe: a bit like a eeprom then?
<6> not invertible, but different boards
<4> smsie: sorta - although you can usually read back an eeprom while in a write harness - which is handy for verification
<6> indeed
<4> however, those smartcards I have have a similar variant - well, perhaps not that similar
<4> there is a bit you can set which "locks" the card - not in the sense that it can't be written to, but in the sense that it can't be written to without first resetting the bit - which completely erases the card
<6> nice
<6> presumably you can read the card forst?
<6> first too
<4> smsie: no - but you can execute the program stored on the card, and communicate with that program via the serial interfaces
<6> hmm, so it's not readable or writeable? Wonderful
<6> must be fun to debug
<4> smsie: its readable/writable if the bit isn't set - and/or if the onboard program allows you to do so via some api
<6> sounds like a DRM dream
<4> smsie: in fact, the data storage area can't be written to directly - the executable area must be primed with a "loader" app which loads the data to the storage area
<6> yeah, I can imagine PHB types *love* them
<4> smsie: the cards in question were used as "decoder" cards for the ondigital system
<6> oh
<6> those were generally cracked 15 minutes after a new encryption was rolled out
<6> I've come up with a solution for anonymising the patient's names though
<4> yup - although it turned out that it was because the master code had been cracked - in a lab owned by a rival of the company who designed that particular scheme
<6> turns out the checking routine which checks them, only considers the first 4 characters significant, so they've agreed to just let me truncate the names to that
<6> a lot more "honest" than the other suggestion which was "take the first 4 characters and substitute their ASCII values"
<6> which presumably p***es in someone's mind for "secure encryption"
<9> on the interstate
<9> Weeee
<4> isn't using a laptop while you drive illegal where you are then?
<4> or are you on a coach or something?
<9> on my blakberry
<6> whilst driving?
<9> driving
<6> insane man!
<9> talented
<4> Teakk: here, that would cost you your licence, a stiff fine, and possibly jail time
<5> Teakk: if you do crash be sure to tell us!! ;)
<6> remind me never to drive on a road you might be on
<5> we want to know ;)
<5> watch out for that white saddan!
<10>"
<5> rofl
<9> I have no license
<9> Suspended
<9> road is emptty
<4> hmm. driving without a licence as well? definite jail time, probably have to bumped up to crown...
<11> heya Liandrin
<6> heya Lian
<11> re Stephen
<6> amazing how quiet you can be
<6> almost not noticeable
<6> hey Eric
<0> Damn...the Dell 5100MP has 3,300 lumens
<11> that's a lot of lumens
<11> not as many as the sun has
<0> 2500:1 contrast
<6> lumen? Isn't that a unit of light?
<11> but pretty close
<11> something online, within .ca ideally
<0> Dietary supplements?
<0> Yes No (circle one)
<11> reality: aye. normally I wouldn't bother with such, but I'm after something specific. :)
<12> hey Nanuq, smsie
<0> Nanuq: What are you looking for?
<11> reality: desiccated liver
<11> er, capsules
