What is the secret?

[aquanuke]

chances were and are equal to everyone.

for example, can you figure out how to hack exponent of RSA algorithm used in PGP to set it artificially weak, so your signature verifies about 50 times faster..?

is it a level playing field?? study and get onto another level.

usually, winners are those who have more money or power.

here it's those who r clever.
you don't like it, i know.

Well dont really matter then if we all switch over to EPP

Two months is a long time in this game. Then it was level, now it isn't. I don't think I look that stupid, if you take a broad enough view.

nothing has changed in 2 months from the way i look at it? what has changed in your view?

I don't deserve to catch any domain, but I would like to feel that I have a fair chance.

i'm sure your local corner shop would like to "have a fair chance" against the might of your local tesco! It's competative business Colin, out of all people on this forum, i thought you would realise this by now?

Before we get onto black helicopters and lining our server rooms with tin foil
Can someon point me in the right direction of EPP? An explanation of what it is and also how likely is this EPP going to be implemented?

I'm currently putting script etc... together so should I hold off if it's all changing?

thanks

Using an analogy that is based on benefits of scale may not be best idea for a hosted dac service provider

eh? what have our dac hosting services got to do with the price of fish?

Jonno, I understand you are a bright young thing. I just wonder what your programming background is, and do you feel you are being properly rewarded for your efforts?

Is head hunting common in this industry?

Very clever idea but it shouldn't make a difference since emails are processed one at a time.

Headhunting - no

Big-headedness - yes

yes Jay, now I know.. but this is just an example of what I had to go through on my quest for the grail..

I know you know but I didn't want anyone else trying it and crashing the Automaton in the process.

So did Vizzy crash the automaton? A deductive assumption.

I don't know and I wouldn't name names even if I did. But it has been brought down a number of times by people trying odd things (and a lot of people try) so I would like to minimise any further occurrences.

We are intending to provide a testbed automaton later this year but I would still prefer that was not crashed either.

 

[retired_member9]

The idea I showed here would not crash automaton, as pgp key is nothing but a proper one, just on steroids

I don't think I ever did something naughty, as I comprehend my actions and
their outcome, contrary to those who really disturb Nominet systems, blindly bombing automaton with e-mails, issuing denial of service commands or sending
corrupted/badly formated requests.

 

[retired_member11]

naughty? I'm not sayng that.
