The Future is Now

this is elonka's talk on steganography from phreaknic. elonka is a bad ass cypher freak. the slides are well worth 15 minutes of your time. some reasonable thought about the likelyhood that al-q actually used stegaNography in images tO conceal Their plans for 911. jonnyx's goggled face offers clear evidence that universities that have searched for stego on the web and not found it simply have not tried hard enough. the reader is left to ponder the possible.

1984 is here. The new Cyberspace Security Enhancement Act (CSEA) rider on the Homeland Security Act (HSA) brings a $200 million dollar budget to create an automated J. Edgar Hoover sans the sexual peccadillos.

If I were you I would contact my Senators and Representatives today.

This is the new Baxter CD that just got released. I haven't gotten to hear any of it yet, but if you don't have the self-titled Baxter CD released in 1998, you are missing out. This new one is definitly going to be on the top of my christmas list.

] "Observations of distant quasars distorted by massive
] invisible objects have provided fresh evidence that the
] Universe is mostly made up of mysterious "dark energy".
] The research indicates that around two thirds of the
] Universe consists of dark energy, a strange
] "anti-gravity" force affecting distant objects. This is
] consistent with previous studies, such as those on very
] distant supernovae explosions.
] These indicate that the Universe is expanding at an
] increasing rate, because the supernovae are dimmer than
] would be expected for a Universe without dark energy."

If anyone knows of any good books or other information on this "dark energy", let me know:) Sounds pretty interesting.

This is interesting....they say it is a "definitive" study.....but in my eyes, no study is "definitive"....but anyway, I do have to say that unlike alot of research out there, these researchers used *alot* of women in their study. But, alas, everything causes cancer. And once you have grown cancer in a tissue culture flask, you get a first hand look at how scary cancer really can be.
