So you wouldn't be able to guess one password, but you'll have to guess a specific password for a specific user. Since you cannot get indication if the password was okay but the username isn't (and also otherwise), it's either you have both, or have only the username (incase you have the user-name, at all). I think this guy thinks it's 1993 or so.
When is the last time you left an OS in its default configuration?
You know that me and you and most of slashdot users didn't install and left their OS in it's default configurations, but I'd say that at-least 95% of Home computer users, like my grandma never changed something in the OS default configuration.
Believe it or not, but some users actually afraid to change configurations like the common sentence used by some people : "It works, don't touch it!!".
Python 2.5 isn't backward compatible to python 2.4 (!). In-fact, I'm still using python 2.4 only because I cannot upgrade since 50% of my python scripts will not work!
So, that fact that change in major version from 2 to 3, would be backwards incompatible, shouldn't surprise anyone who used same python scripts between 2 different minor versions.
in-fact, if you're not familiar with the GPLv3 I recommend you on the GPLv3 quick guide click here
I think you, mr. developer, should be happy as-well. Good luck and good night:)
I will never forget his game vs. a great ranked player where he sacrificed his queen 17 moves ahead in-order to win, when he was 13.
But, man, this is a man which hated jews for being jews, although he was a jew!!! This shows that he was little minded man, he was a great player which I really admire as a chess player, but stupid man.
This is a great loss for the chess world
BTW, I'm jewish and loved his games, but hated his thoughts.

That's not right! These things takes time! Once they knock on your door, and you don't let them in, you have enough time to check if you don't have by accident false licenses. Also, BSA works everywhere, including here in Israel, and not always the local forces co-operate A.S.A.P since they got better matters to take care for (thefts? terror? criminals?). So what I'm saying is, don't open the door, check yourself first, if you need, change to Open Source, if you can't double check your licenses and buy them before letting them, with a court order, to come inside.
MS actually donates BSA nice % of their money they use to look for the stealing companies.
I'm not saying it's right to steal software, but what I'm saying is, if one day, BSA agent is knocking at your door, DO NOT LET THEM IN without any court order. They have no right to check for your licenses without any court orders. keep that in mind.
MS makes them, and their design is just too weird:
Weird Keyboard design, although I know some people that really really loves that design, I simply hate it.
Once MS release VM tools by default with their OS, VMWare has a-lot to lose. I think they'll do it soon, and VMWare will lose a share of the market.
By the way, since Linux kernel 2.6.19-21 (i'm not sure), Linux comes with KVM which is Kernel based Virtual Machine, so If MS do the same, no-one can say that they use their Monopole in the OS market to gain advantage (like in Explorer vs. Netscape issue) since it had been done on Linux before.
OOP - Python is, if you want to use it this way, Object Oriented!
It uses lots of POSIX standards, so if you ever did an OPEN call in-order to get fd, you have it here as-well:)
Indents, makes the coder must use indents, which makes the code easier to read.
Easy use in web-applications.
Easy to use and learn, build classes for later use, and come with every popular Linux distribution today.
Cross-platform, yeah, not all the functions, but most of them, which is good enough. Too bad that in Windows you have to install interpreter.
I can think of hundreds of reasons why to use python, just learn it already:)
I'm quite sure that in the next OS by MS or the one afterwards, they will release it with Python interpreter by default.
So I can sue all those bastards that patent nothing and earn millions on it.

If my grandma sees an active x window, she would click PERMIT, right away, only so the page will just reload!
If ActiveX is not disabled by default so it would take more then a click to enable it, we'll see less malware on my grandma's computer.
Now I only need to teach my grandma how to click on the boot-up button so the computer will start after a shutdown:)

Just a stuff to think about it
no more words are needed. Python > all!
i.e, why does it appear under slashdot::IT
In life some things will be left without any answer, just like in Lost (The TV series).
Jesus... and I thought for a minute it was Kramer.com as in b>Kozmo Kramer . :)
I didn't know he liked computers that much
http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/10/2011257 simply, it doesn't, unless you want not to allow users to run anything?
what does unlikely() do??? Thanks!

Just grub a linux-live-cd and install LILO/Grub/.. on MBR, then you would be able to select a partition on your booting process.
What would we have done without Linux? Novel prize to Linus Torvalds.
It doesn't worth being slashdoted at all.
If they moved all their computers using ANY OS including MS's, that might be a good story.
Until then, THANK YOU, COME AGAIN!
