8/9     I got two files, one is size 522190848 and the other is size
        521648128.  Both sha256 to the same number.  (and sha1 too).
        I don't think this is supposed to happen, right? (least not with
        sha256).
        \_ how are you checking?

9/17    Anyone have plans to buy the Star Wars DVDs?
        \_ What's the point? Hasn't everyone already seen the trilogy
           ad naseum for the past 25 years already? Is it really worth
           your time and money to see an addition 10 seconds of modified
           footage? Isn't it time to shelve the action figures and get a
           life?

4/10    In perl, can I make the program more portable by first checking if
        a module is available, then "use" or "require" it later?
        \_ I think you can do this with an exec call.  Checking.
           no.  i think i was thinking of using an eval block, but i
           can't quite get it to work.

2/29    Anyone here have access to an openbsd machine? I'd like to know if
        their implementation of s/key is broken for SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160
        (at least, it's broken in Yuri Yudin's port of openbsd s/key).
        From RFC 2289, running 'skey -sha1 99 correct' and using
        "OTP's are good" as the passphrase should give
        "AURA ALOE HURL WING BERG WAIT". If someone can try that, I'd

3/12    Call me paranoid.  How likely is it for someone to decode traffic
        sent to/from an ssh connection?  The encryption is done end-to-end,
        so if the govt is getting a copy of every packet between two boxes
        is it possible for them to crack it?  I'm not a technical guy BTW,
        I just know the high level functionality of these things.

3/22    Anyone know what the [.*] field in the subject of lots of spam
                             \- can you post an example of what you mean here?
        mail is for?  Some sort of tracking, I assume, but what do they
        do with it?
