Blazing Fast Password Recovery With New ATI Cards

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday March 16, 2010 @02:55AM from the feel-safe-yet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ElcomSoft accelerates the recovery of Wi-Fi passwords and password-protected iPhone and iPod backups by using ATI video cards. The support of ATI Radeon 5000 series video accelerators allows ElcomSoft to perform password recovery up to 20 times faster compared to Intel top of the line quad-core CPUs, and up to two times faster compared to enterprise-level NVIDIA Tesla solutions. Benchmarks performed by ElcomSoft demonstrate that ATI Radeon HD5970 accelerated password recovery works up to 20 times faster than Core i7-960, Intel's current top of the line CPU unit."

Can you come up with your own points on why allowing UTF-8 on /. would be a disaster? I think you cannot. Stop parroting other people's thoughts, they are valid for certain types of problems are invalid for others. Allowing UTF-8 characters on this website can be done, some people just don't want to let other languages in.
