Its no secret that Bovine uses Microsoft products, their defense has been something to the effect, "that's all we know." I suggest a FreeBSD team solve the upcoming DES-II and turn the prize money around into a FreeBSD stats server donated to distributed.net. Let them run whatever they wish behind the scenes. Otherwise we really don't have any rights to complain unless somebody is volunteering to solve the problem and has been turned down. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
