Too many ignorant people think it's for little kids.

I know this is not going to be a great response, BUT...

I did watch some anime on C4 about 4/5 years ago, and really did not think much of it.

And to be honest, I think some people don't like it because its NOT for kids.
If that makes sense, not sure it does to me, but this is pretty much the exact word for word opinion of my 'set in her ways' mum.

Personally I did watch some (perhaps C4's line-up was not a good example of anime) and thought it was pretty rubbish, however, people do like different things.

I have an inedible encryption algorthim... email [e-mail] for upload.

[Ghost]

I'm 13 and I'm C++, C#, and Java certified.

I'm not kidding

[cbacb1cba]

I'm 13 and I'm C++, C#, and Java certified.

I'm not kidding

That is so cool!
Here's my simple algorithm for one of my encryption programs. I do not even know what C# is, but I gotta woorld waid web sieete that ya' kin hack to anee daee....
The following is what is called a “Public Key encryption algorithm. The encrypted file produced can be seen by anyone, that is what is meant by public. The point is this, after it is encrypted, it is impossible for anyone to understand what it says. The decryption code, a list of twenty characters, is sent to a discrete location on the Internet.
This particular encryption software routine uses a six dimensional plane. We have three physical dimensions, but if you ignore that point and look at these six dimensions as just six numbers of different values, you can think about the six dimensional plane as six different numbers.
After the file is written, the software to encrypt it can be started. The screen goes black and you are asked to press keys until you are asked to stop. The software generates a random number and counts a number of characters based on the number of seconds shown to the computer’s clock after the request for the random number. After it receives the correct number of usable characters from the keyboard, it instructs you to stop and uses twenty of them for the following . . .
A six dimensional plane is established in RAM. A character is read from the file and a second random number is generated. Two dimensions are chosen by calculations with the clock in the computer and the second random number. The six dimensions are assigned values. The characters are picked one at a time and run through a series of changes in the extended ASCII code using eleven of the keys pressed in the beginning of the encryption process. An altered character is then “placed on the six dimensional array based on four of the dimensional numbers with some coding in the software, with the other two already determined as stated above. All six tell the computer where to put the character in the six dimensional plane. All six numbers are calculated with special emphasis on keeping track of which character comes after the last by what is called “pointers. When the file is completely encrypted, the characters in the array are placed in a separate file starting with position (0,0,0,0,0,0). The original file is erased as they are read with a routine that replaces the binary digits in the file in a random order. After the new file is created, the computer is instructed to perform what is called a “memory dump. This process clears all information not used by the computer, erasing all of the information used in the encryption. A twenty-character decryption key is also encrypted and sent to a specific location in my connection list on the Internet. With the decryption software, the decryption code, and the encrypted file, one would merely type in the twenty character code. These three items are all needed to decrypt the file. The software would read the twenty characters and display the decrypted file one sentence at a time for five seconds each. The decrypted file is then erased. The memory used in the decryption process is dumped at each stage and the encrypted file is erased.

I have an iBook G3 and my cd drive is broken and so my uncle got me an external drive cause he thought it would cost less than getting my regular drive fixed.....but i didn't mind because i think that it is better having a drive that can burn cd and dvd's....my built-in cd drive was crap cause it could not burn cd's or dvd's and i could not watch dvd's.....so n e wayz my grandmother is going 2 bring in my laptop with the external drive so a dude at the shop can install the drive for me.......it came with a disc but i don't wanna chance my chance and try to install it before i break something....but if u know how to install something like this and u think u can help me then let me know cause i think that it would make more sense to install it free myself rather than spend about 40 dollars just to have this guy install it....and it came with a CD but i am not sure how to install it cause i dunno if u gotta put it in the USB port and install it or whatever....so help me plz..... :?: :confused:
