Re:Naturally, the passwords were not in clear by Lord+Ender · 2010-04-13 06:31 · Score: 1 · on Apache Foundation Attacked, Passwords Stolen

SHA-256 is, in theory, totally crackable for up to eight characters or so. The FRT project has SHA1 rainbow tables up to around that length. I was not able to find any SHA-256 tables, though. Anyone in the business of password cracking likely has private rainbow tables for all of the common hash algos.

See the currently-available public rainbow tables here:

Ubuntu rocks by koody · 2005-04-08 01:32 · Score: 5, Informative · on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released

Download the torrent

New stuff include

Gnome 2.10.1, which makes the desktop a lot faster than before
X.org
Simplified update- and package management
Much faster boot process
Better laptop support (ie suspending, hibernating, processor frequency scaling)
Kickstart support for automated largescale installations
Live CD and Install CD both use the new debian installer infrastructure
UTF-8 by default
A program for collecting information about what hardware works and what doesn't
Kubuntu - complete KDE 3.4 based version of Ubuntu

Stuff people are going to bitch about

No graphical installer. The current installer is extremely simple and has been streamlined even further in this release. A graphical installer is planned for the next version (Breezy Badger).
No menu editor installed. One can always edit the files by hand, or install kmenu or something similar for gnome. The official gnome menu editor just didn't finish in time.
No DivX or MP3 support. These are simple to add though and anyone coming from debian will probably already know of the Marillat repositories. Just look at the instructions in the wiki or use Hoary After-Install helper or another script to do the dirty work for you.

OSDir has published a lot of screenshots of Ubuntu.

Oh and if you are interested to know if your laptop or other piece of hardware is supported, some info can be found in the wiki on the Hardware support-page

IPSky by MosesJones · 2002-12-15 23:53 · Score: 5, Interesting · on More On Airplanes And Internet

A plug for a mate IPSky talks about the market and the issues and is a pretty good starting doc on this sort of stuff from a technical/management perspective. The interesting part of some of these elements is that it enables additional information to the pilots and potentially between planes. Getting the internet to the passengers is relatively simple, combining it with elements like TCAS to reduce the risk of collisions and also to enable less reliance on Air Traffic Controllers in areas where they have no Radar coverage.
