Meh, that doesn't seem too bad. Thank you for not posting a link with any pictures of some guy's swollen balls.
I can think of many fates worse than that. Pretty much anything, really. If that is the worst thing that happens to you in your life, you did pretty good.
Yea, but usually when I want a cable, I want it 10 minutes ago, not in 4-6 business days. I usually pay the idiot tax and take home my steel braided, EMF sheilded optical cable that day.
They are brute forcing the hashes. Sure the output hash length is always the same, but the number of possible inputs are signinicantly reduced by limiting password length of 6.
Think 26^6 vs 2^160 or 308,915,776 vs 1.46E48. Quite a large difference.
What is this 1995? Does anyone use passwords that short for anything they care about any more? I'd be interested if they could break 6-12 char passwords with lower, upper, and special characters.
I bet loftcrack could do this same job faster. What is the news here?
I bet your ISP would LOVE to sell you 2 internet connections, they might even let you 'bundle' them together... Of course, the open one would probably cost more.
I see pilots with the signature of "Trusted in the air, not on the ground." but what they're overlooking is that it only takes one person who has "a pass" through the line and is willing to sell that access because they're disgruntled and don't care anymore.
I'm not sure if you realise this or not, but the pilot doesn't need any weapon to hijack the plane.
I think the location matters here. I have noticed that if you are downtown, then the buttons do nothing. As you get into less densely populated areas, the liklihood of the button working increases. New York is pretty dense, so many of the buttons do nothing.
We should be making laptops modular. The screen should be replaceable. Keyboards should have standard mounting configurations. Internal fans should be standardized. MBs should have come in standard sizes with standard mounting holes, and standard I/O port locations to allow swapping MBs.
I think that the problem with Laptops is that they are not upgradable at all. If something dies, most of the time, the whole laptop needs to be replaced. Sure, you can order specialty pieces to replacement, wait for them to be shipped in from China and then figure out how to install them. Wouldn't it be nicer if you could go to your local computer shop and pick it up the same day? Instead of recycling the laptop, let's make it upgradable.
What kind of answer are you looking for? Tape a stylus to the bandages. An injury is an injury. Take the time off. It's like asking "I recently broke my leg severely, but would like to continue my marathon running. What type of shoes would you recommend?.
Depending on the severity of the injury, your friend might be happier with a fleshlight.
As a former young person, I can say that if you bought nice chairs, they would not be nice for long.
You know the saying "People with kids can't have nice things"? Well, it's true. Keep them in the wood/metal/plastic chairs. Anything with padding is a waste of money.
I would mod you Informative, and I have the points, but I'll be damned if I can find the apply moderation button to make it take effect. br>Also, why am I now being forced to preview? Maybe I like making errors.
Easy, just make a menu item for them and then every time it's clicked, send usage data. That way you can have the worst of both worlds: A convoluted menu system and lack of functionality.
You can watch it in action with a google earth plugin, but you have to fight with the camera to see what is going on. I know I have seen a good real-time animation before, but I can't remember where. It might have been J-track.
1) Your first paragraph was jacked from wikipedia.
2) Sure it takes more power to transmit over a larger frequency, but if you have a device transmitting across 10Mhz @ 1 watt, it will take more power than a device transmitting across 20Mhz@1mW. Just because you are transmitting a large amount of data (or small) doesn't mean you can't have high power.
3) When the Sirius satellites are actually transmitting, they are actually FURTHER out than a geostationary orbit. It's actually kind of neat. They are pretty far out when they are "hovering" over Saskatchewan which causes their relative movement to slow (the earth actually rotates faster for a bit creating a 'loop' in the orbit), and allows them to spend more time over North America. As they head south, they get closer to the Earth so that they can quickly fly over South America and get back up North and start transmitting again.
This is what creates the 16 hours a day over our head. If the satellite was at a constant height, acheiving 16 hours would be impossible.

You must be new here.
What are your compatibility issues with USB? The only compatibility issue I have with USB is when I try to plug the damn thing in upside down.

I'd like to see a study on gamers' driving records compared to non gamers. Are gamers better at driving? Worse?
Use fir trees. Bonus: Your X-mas tree no longer needs lights!

If you're stoned anough, even Jar Jar is amusing.
Stop spreading your filthy lies!
I doubt that Microsoft actually would sue them. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
My Blackberry already has crappy battery life. The last thing I want is my battery life to be dependant on my neigbours' usage

Yes - "It's beauty justifies the $1000 price tag"
"Who needs ethernet/cd rom/othermissingfeature"
"I can cut cake with it though"
Etc.
Wait... are you saying that there are SPACE PIRATES!?!?!?!

Hey! Speak for yourself. I can't even use ADSL becasue the ping time is too high. Mars is worse. No (usable) Internet == No thanks.
