Because then the email server has to compute the hash as well to verify it, which means that server would quickly get swamped.

The missile isn't disabled by simply jamming the GPS/Galileo signal, the signal is only used to check and correct the inertia guidance. If the missile lose the signal it will simply keep going from the last known vector.
Being a few meters off with an ICBM carrying a nuclear warhead doesn't change the massdestruction much at all.
Besides, would jamming the radar have stopped the airplanes from crashing into WTC?
And in other news the MPAA will require people to duct tape their eyelids closed before entering the cinema. A MPAA spokesperson was quoted saying: - "In order to produce decent movies we have to make sure noone sees them".
An empty password will pass this check because the code uses the length of the user entry, not the length of the correct password.

0rrsn Hi, I'm wondering if you think there's a future for ROT13. I've heard it's pretty secure...
You can read this? Damn!
Paul:
Holy cow! While you may have figured out my super-secret ROT13 cipher, nobody will ever crack *this* message because I switched to our ultra-secret plan B: applying a Caeser cipher 13 times:-).
This is exatcly why we should keep the law weenies locked up in a courtroom instead of letting them out into the real world.
I feel that the Internet should be a 'no-mans-land' regarding law, the Internet is already pretty self regulating. Just as an example, the MAPS RBL didn't pop up for nothing, there was a need and it filled it. I know this can start problems with crackers, script kiddies and the like, but this would also be self regulating. Do you really think that any ISP would let anyone that could possibly harm them use their backbone?
I hope everyone that reads this uses the MAPS RBL on all of their mail servers, I sure do!
How does TUX handle the configuration of the server? Since it seems to be pretty much kernel level code, does it need a reboot for new configs? Or is it just read into memory using user space code?
Can TUX handle apache modules as of now?
Is this technology possible to implement on FTP, SQL, SMTP etc. servers?
uhmm... the patent question was taken, so was the threading and the portability... hmm... I guess I have no further questions, your honor.
If we were to put all the sources on a server here in Sweden, I don't think they'd be able to do any thing about it. Since over here it's illeagal to patent mathematical algorithms...
We're getting whacked by big companies that uses their large legal departements to FUD the users of alternate products.
There should be something to protect us from these kind of things. Are you really allowed to make changes to a open standard and refuse to disclose it?
Maybe we should start slapping a GPL like license to standards? Something that goes like this: "Any standard that is a derivative of this standard MUST use the foo license". That would keep the nice and open standards open forever.
Note that these are my personal opinions, they are just as faulty as anyone elses.
Multitasking, stability, speed, look, customizability etc. I don't think ease of use is much of a issue any more... Better documentation would do it...
An easy way would be not to let stupid people use computers...:)
I'd say fan fiction has it's good times. The only problem I can see is that of "semiserious" writers that are only doing it for the art of sueing. I think there were someone that sued a fan fiction writer for writing "disgusting fiction", if someone has a link or something I'd be really happy. It would be nice if some of the fan fiction out there were acctually filmed at some point. I've read a few really good SW writings.
Anyway, these are my opinions. Just as faulty as anybody elses.

I will never understand how the US system works.
In the rest of the world, this is called bribes and is illeagal.
all this means is that their cloaking tries to match the ip range aswell as the user agent.

WebSphere is IBM, not Oracle.
.NET Framework is Microsoft.
Tomcat is Apache Foundation and Free(tm).
LocalDirector is Cisco.
Besides those minor error and the jibberish the +1 Interesting might be sensible?

Considering how much you seem to know I'm sure this is not what you're refering to?

If Sony just want to outrun Microsoft, PSX2 just needs to work. Period.
It would help if they released it though...
