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

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

[emts]

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.

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.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

lambo key ring though...

[Steve85]

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.

[emts]

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

[Birds]

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

[Steve85]

Dammit! Got me!

[emts]

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.

[Steve85]

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.

[emts]

I was going to reference that lambo, but was too lazy to google it..

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 January 9, 2017 by UNR33L

[Leroy Peterson]

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.

Sheeeeeit I might just buy me one of those stinger GT's
