Re: ATTN Radium: Pentium III
Hi Radium, Do you expect problems with certain cracked software running on Pentium III computers, because of that ID serial thing in the processor against piracy? PS: hope to read about it in the nfo file of the next release! ;))

Answer : The P3 ID does little to nothing for protecting software. If a programmer wants some system specific number they can already get the harddrive serial, etc. (Many programs like fruityloops do this.) The P3 ID was an ill-conceived plan that did little other than compromising the online privacy of the common person - reason enough for some groups to boycott intel's P3 chip.

To : Ken Hill
Saw your message about GRM tools memory leak. We'll be looking into it .

To : Painkiller, Zeb1d3, Moshico, and others
Thanks for your messages. However unless you include your PUBLIC pgp key along with the message, we are unable to read them! :)

To : Jeff
Thanks for posting up the radium chats to absud. :) If you (or whoever wants to post) could send this as an html attachment that would be even cooler..

Communication FAQ (new or updated text is in red)
Q : Does Radium have email, website or visit chat groups?
A : No

Q : How can someone get a message to Radium?
A : We periodically read messages in the Newgroup ABSUD. (Alt.Binaries.Sounds.Utities.D) Please put 'ATTN Radium :' in the subject line.

Q : How would Radium reply?
A : We will never post replys directly to newsgroups. The only place you will see a Radium reply is in this Radiumchat.htm file that is included with releases. We would be grateful if someone (anyone) would 'repost' each radiumchat.htm file to the absud newsgroup. (We won't be posting it there ourselves for security reasons.) Please post as an html file attachment if possible.

Q : What if the message is private?
A : Use PGP to encode the message. Our public key is at the very end of this radiumchat. **Be sure to also include YOUR public PGP key with any post.** (otherwise we cant read the message or reply to you!):)

Q : If we post our public key wont everyone be able to read the messages?
A : No. Here's a quick intro - When you first run PGP you will be prompted to create a key PAIR (use RSA 2048 for your key.) You will then have a Public and a Private key. To communicate with someone you will both need to know each others PUBLIC key. Other parties wont be able to read it because they don't have your individual PRIVATE keys.

Although we will read every post, our time is limited and we will only be able to reply here occasionally. Also please don't expect replys for questions like 'Where can i get X, When will X be released, etc'
