Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================


The last few weeks, I’ve talked about different technologies and such. This
week, I thought I’d briefly mention yesterday and its significance even though
it is not programming related.


Yesterday was a historical date because the first private company sent up an
astronaut. Michael Melvill became the first person not sponsored by a government
to earn astronaut wings by going 100 kilometers above the earth — the edge of
space.


I’ve been watching the news on SpaceShipOne for quite a while now. To see
that it has finally launched and succeeded in its first attempt to reach space
is great. This even was likened to the first flights at Kitty Hawk by the Wright
brothers. Hopefully the is the first steps towards using technology as a means
of gaining cheaper access to space.


Until next week!


Brad!

This week’s posted CodeGuru articles:


==> Algorithms
Message Digests and Digital
Fingerprints

By James Vanns
Learn about an OO implementation of
the MD5 algorithm in C++. It does not simply copy Ron Rivest’s C code into a
class. It was written to help provide a better understanding of MD5 and how C++
and its STL may be used to implement it. The code is not optimised.
