Tinfoil Hat linux [both real AND funny]

Tinfoil Hat linux ^ | 2/24/4

[NativeNewYorker]

It started as a secure, single floppy, bootable Linux distribution for storing PGP keys and then encrypting, signing and wiping files. At some point it became an exercise in over-engineering.
Tinfoil hat is useful if:

• You're using a computer that could have a keystroke logger installed. http://www.keyghost.com is an example of a tiny & cheap hardware logger.
• You need to use your personal GPG keys at work, school or a web hosting facility where you don't trust or own the equipment.
• If you maintain a PGP Certificate Authority or signing key and have to have a safe place to use the CA key.
• If you simply don't want to risk putting a PGP key on a hard drive where someone else might have access to it.
• The Illuminati are watching your computer, and you need to use morse code to blink out your PGP messages on the numlock key.

A linux distro named after a favorite Freeper fashion item!

Paranoid Ping!

There is enough paranoia on this website to make you a happy camper for days.

The Penguin Ping.

Wanna be Penguified? Just holla!

Got root?

[Eala]

There is enough paranoia on this website

So exactly what is the significance of that diode in the logo, and is it silicon, germanium, selenium or what??!?

[antiRepublicrat]

Now Red Hat can sue them for trademark infringement if they want to pull a Microsoft.

The Illuminati are watching your computer, and you need to use morse code to blink out your PGP messages on the numlock key.

Sure I'll be safe from the Illuminati, but doesn't Majestic 12 have technology that can even break this Linux distro?

Icarus is watching us all...

[Liberal Classic]

Sarcastic Linux. Only for the thick skinned.

[NativeNewYorker]

Man, every Linux install I've played with has been sarcastic.

Signetics FULLY ENCODED, 9046xN, RANDOM ACCESS WRITE-ONLY MEMORY 25120

---

FINAL SPECIFICATION [10]

DESCRIPTION

The Signetics 25000 Series 9046XN Random Access Write-Only-Memory employs both enhanced and depletion mode P-Channel, N-Channel and neu [1] channel MOS devices. Although a static device, a single TTL level clock phase is required to drive the on-board multi-port clock generator. Data refresh is accomplished during CB and LH periods [11]. Quadri-state outputs (when applicable) allow expansion in many directions, depending on organization.

The static memory cells are operated dynamically to yield extremely low power dissipation. All inputs and outputs are directly TTL compatible when proper interfacing circuitry is employed.

Device constuction is more or less S.O.S. [2].

FEATURES

• FULLY ENCODED MULTIPORT- ADRESSING
• WRITE CYCLE TIME 80 nS (MAX. TYPICAL)
• WRITE ACCESS TIME [3]
• POWER DISSIPATION 10 uW/BIT TYPICAL
• CELL REFRESH TIME 2 mS (MIN. TYPICAL)
• TTL/DTL COMPATIBLE INPUTS [4]
• AVAILABLE OUTPUTS "n"
• CLOCK LINE CAPACITANCE 2pF MAX. [5]
• V_CC=+10 V
• V_DD= 0V +- 2%
• V_FF= 6,3Vac [6]

APPLICATIONS

• DON'T CARE BUFFER STORES
• LEAST SIGNIFICANT CONTROL MEMORIES
• POST MORTEM MEMORIES (WEAPON SYSTEMS)
• ARTIFICIAL MEMORY SYSTEMS
• NON-INTELLIGENT MICRO CONTROLLERS
• FIRST-IN NEVER-OUT (FINO) ASYNCHRONOUS BUFFERS
• OVERFLOW REGISTER (BIT BUCKET)

PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

The use of Signetics unique SEX [7] process yields Vth (var.) and allows the design [8] and production [9] of higher performance MOS circuits than can be obtained by competitor's techniques.

BIPOLAR COMPATIBILITY

All data and clock inputs plus applicable outputs will interface directly or nearly directly with bipolar circuits of suitable characteristics. In any event use 1 amp fuses in all power supply and data lines.

INPUT PROTECTION

All terminals are provided with slip-on latex protectors for the prevention of Voltage Destruction. (PILL packaged devices do not require protection).

SILICON PACKAGING

Low cost silicon DIP packaging is implemented and reliability is assured by the use of a non-hermetic sealing technique which prevents the entrapment of harmful ions, but which allows the free exchange of friendly ions.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Because of the employment of the Signetics' proprietory Sanderson-Rabbet Channel the 25120 will provide 50% higher speed than you will obtain.

COOLING

The 25120 is easily cooled by employment of a six-foot fan, 1/2" from the package. If the device fails, you have exceeded the ratings. In such case, more air is recommended.

Now THAT is a classic. Do you have the data sheet for the Darkness Emitting Arsenide Diode (DEAD) ?
