I've oft wonderes about this myself.

 

but considering we are protecting gliches in other peoples software it's prob not happening.

Doubt we could bribe Microsoft to put in a vulnerability in their OS just to sell a little more Anti virus.

 

there enough bad code out there already without us having to get more.

Nothing like a bad code you already have a fix for though

Bit like Kaspersky and their ransomware decryption tools...I don't know much about 256 encryption but I thought the whole point was that it would take a supercomputer millions of years to decrypt

/tinfoil

On the topic of IT, watching YouTube today it's incredible the chipsets and systems people are replicating within minecraft...put AI into that and hello Skynet

It's substancially longer than that.

however as the hackers use the same key for all ransomware of that version.

think of it as a car key, there a near unlimited amount of key shapes that you could use, however if Nissan were to use the exact same barrel on every car...makes it easy you get any nissan key and your sorted

 

Kaspersky pay for a single fix then use that key to decrypt all the other people.

 

EDIT:

as for AES 256 bit encryption, for AES128

even with a supercomputer, it would take 1 billion billion years to crack the 128-bit AES key using brute force attack. This is more than the age of the universe (13.75 billion years).

So AES256 is pretty secure. and if you worried about that move on to ECC ciphers.

yeah its amazing what the human race can achieve with determination and hundreds of man hours

well at least it comes with the 5.2L V12....... oh wait.

 

yeah, because everyone wants to pay $75,000 for an ancient VW chassis with a subaru motor and 4 forward gears.

So the big question... would you be ok driving it around? I'd feel like I was doing it wrong somehow, like the people who see it deserve better.
I'm not a replica fan. I feel like it would be a real dampener if you found out it wasn't a real lambo.

I'm mixed when it comes to replicas.

If your building a cobra/GT40 kit car and sticking with a big ass V8 and some slightly modern suspension and brakes I'm a fan, 

A lambo with a VW frame and a 2l subie motor hell no. your Ferrari 355 thts actually a MR2 (I'm looking at you here top gear) go and EAD.

 

the big thing is however if you claim your replica is a real one..best expect to be stabbed.

Factorio hey...someone made a game out of Patrick's job?

Sandstorm is impressive until you see in game video call

I'm 50/50 on these things. They are very impressive in the skill and manpower required to literally build a virtual computer. But what it boils down to is that the above is effectively a crappy version of Skype within an operating system called minecraft. Not to detract from them, but all they are doing is a virtual version of what people did decades and decades ago in the physical world...who were / still are the real geniuses and many manpowers. I guess the amazement comes from repurposing software and hardware for alternative uses, not unlike that guy who loaded Doom up on his Apple MacBook bar.

Waaaaaait wait Mr. anti-status symbol, forget what others think of your replica haha

Respect for replicas that are well done or allow average joe to enjoy the look and feel of one

Mind boggling is when the replica cost more to build than the real thing; when DIY becomes near artwork or an exercise to see if it can be done. Always admired this 996 replica, which started life as a Calibra of all things

calibra-porsche-replika-replica-kitcar-b

front view that works, but as soon as you get a side view it's all wrong, soo long in the rear quarter that messes everything up.

 

in my books, (which I know count for nothing) a replica cannot be built on an existing car. they just never work.

 

thus the Cobra/GT40/Caterham's all work as they a purpose built chassis.

Also that 996... wow. That's a lot of effort.
I actually like the stories where a bloke (it's alway a bloke) builds his dream car replica from scratch. Especially the one where he had to demolish his basement wall to get it out. :)

So according to the NBN website it's coming to my address Jan-March this year.. wonder how I go about upgrading my current cable plan that i'm locked in for another 20 months, I guess I can change plan but would have to stick with Telstra. 

Edited by UNR33L

I'm sure it'd be fine as long as you sign another 24 month contract.

I got Telstra 3.0 cable, don't see a point in moving to nbn

Potentially found next car to buy (legit). Sell Gloria once I've achieved everything and enjoyed it, then find an F30 Leopard in Japan and go old school VIP/Yuppie build.

Apologies, sleep deprivation (thank you new child) is killing me.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
