The website is hysterical: Why are 256 bits the technically highest coding depth at all on computers possible are ? A computer knows only 256 different indications. 1 indication = 1 byte has 8 bits in binary the number system exactly. 1 bit knows only the switching status: on or out or 0 or 1 by the combination of these 8 bits results 256 bits. The computation in addition: 2 switching status highly 8 bits = 256 bits these 256 bits is addressed in decimally the number system from 0 to 255 = 256 bits. Computers work however in in hexadecimals the number system. There these 256 bits designated above are addressed from 00 to FF = 256 bits. A byte cannot be thus under bits 0 or over bits 255. Therefore 256 bits are the technically highest coding depth at all on computers possible are.

I was on a plane flight with an executive from the hospitality industry not too long ago, who told me a very interesting story - about the impact of flat panel televisions on hotel room occupancy. According to this exec, flat panel TV's drove down industry occupancy rates. No, seriously. Apparently the space savings and lower power consumption of a flat panel TV (think about it, they're quite a bit smaller and draw far less energy) allowed hotels to skip having to put giant media cabinets in their rooms.

After huffing about the Post here are two comedy sites that provide stand-up performances of a very different kind. Rooftop Comedy , unpredictable and potentially offensive (only potentially? what else is comedy for?) comes from the urban club scene. Zilo from the Campus.

In the course of notifying the public, some vendors’ vulnerability advisories have been less informative than others. Whereas a significant number of vendors have come to realize the value of some form of disclosure over time, others continually fail to provide actionable information. This entry is not a discussion of the merits and failings of...
