Thaddy Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 pop-rocks + mountain dew A girl in my class actually thought that would kill you. I gave her a break though, I think the bleach might have seaped into her brain, killing off a few cells. Quote

Dusty Chalk Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 to rock , or not to rock .. Well, that's an easy one for me to answer -- to rock! "Not to rock" just isn't an alternative. Quote

grawk Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Pay attention in history class. The engima machine is the code machine that hte germans (and japanese) used during WW2. That we were able to break the code and not let on is the real reason ww2 ended the way it did... Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 What is that thing?Dude, that's the Enigma Device. THE enigma device. EDIT: What he said. Tres cool. Rocks. Quote
mjg Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine the eniac was cooler, but slightly larger.. they used it to crack the engima cipher http://ftp.arl.mil/~mike/comphist/eniac-story.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENIAC Quote
grawk Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Pretty sure eniac enigma was cracked by hand mathematically. The ideas lead to eniac, however. Quote
mjg Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 ENIAC had nothing to do with Enigma, though ENIAC rocked. they used it to crack things encoded in engima. It was one of the applications it was used for, amongst other things. I've read that in a few places. Quote
mjg Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 gawk is right also, alan turing who did help crack enigma was an important person in the development of eniac. maybe i'm smushing history together, but I do believe I read that somewhere. http://www.hacknot.info/hacknot/action/showEntry?eid=75 Quote
grawk Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 My understanding is turing, who cracked enigma, was primarily responsible for the concepts, but never participated in the actual design of the hardware. He was more the type to enjoy ideas but who found actual implementations boring. I could be mistaken, I'm not sure how much of the character Alan Turing in Cryptonomicon was real and how much was fictionalized. In a bit of trivia, one of my college advisors was on the design team for eniac... Quote
