I'm damn glad I didn't say anything about bucks, hunting season, or road kill then. Thanks for explaining it, the title really could have been worded better.
The article about hash cracking with GPUs was all about cracking NTLM hashes. Even less secure are the random websites that people sign up to with absolutely no idea what type of hash might be used to store their password. To get a good indication of whether or not a site uses a two way encryption or no encryption at all, I usually reset my password. If they email me the (bogus) password that I used to create the account, I know it can't be trusted and put in something simple. There's no telling how strong of a routine a web application uses to store a one-way encrypted password either.
I'm starting to really think that passwords don't matter. Weak or strong, they will be compromised. They only work well when you have a one-off password for each ID/Application/System. Using a password management system makes great sense, keep in mind it's also important to have a 1:1 ratio for each ID:Password that matters.
The question is how many representatives are in each state's lower house. New Hampshire is a small state while California is huge. My congressman never writes me back, I'm in Virginia.
The problem with this is that as groups get larger, cliques tend to form. Leadership solidifies and before long you have an oligarchy of the few ruling the massive number of representatives from smaller districts. That oligarchy would then become the group to buy, and we'd be back into the same boat. There's no escaping the fact that when we're talking about people, we're talking about cattle. They do as the media directs. It's only when they are dealt with one on one, or incredibly small numbers, that humans have a chance of being intelligent. Even with complete transparency into your legislator's cow like behavior, following the leadership of his or her party, it is unlikely that a change in locally elected representatives would alter the behavior of the elected body.
The only solution is to educate and be educated, an optimist would say that interactive online media gives us a much stronger possibility for this to be the case than the passive TV generation. Even of Facebook people seem driven to read what they see critically, and attempt to respond in an intelligent fashion, or maybe that's my perception filter kicking in.
It would seem that it has been a medical term for a while at least. I'm certain that ideation of suicide is close to the connotation they were looking for.
When you know almost everybody is lying to you, its only human to be drawn to news you think sounds most plausible.
There is such a thing as critical thinking. When the Bush administration was ramping up for the war in Iraq, it was easy enough to read The Jordan Times and see that it was obviously false that Sadam Hussein, a secular Sunni Muslim, would provide material support for Al Queda, a radicalized group Shiite Muslims. Jordan are allies of the US, but they won't hesitate to point out mistaken logic or facts when they see them. Let me ask, if interested in the Royal Wedding, does it make sense to look at NBC, or maybe the BBC coverage?
There is a such thing as a search for the real truth, the correct route is typically the closest to the source of the news. If you want news that's the most plausible, find news that's the closest to the source. If I want to know about Muslim's attitudes about events in the Middle East, I'm not going to read Western Media.
We can't choose not to. All we can do is blog or tweet about our dissatisfaction, and vote for the people that say they'll finish the wars. I'd rather fund the reconstruction, but something has to be done about the corruption first. We can't blame it on the fact that they're developing countries, or the false idea that they have some lower moral standard than we do in the US, we started off on the wrong foot with no-bid contracts to Halliburton.
There is a dialog when you first boot your new Android phone asking if you consent to your new phone collecting anonymous location based data, for the purpose of sending it back Google to enhance services. I selected "No" and went on to the next screen. Now there's more of an issue if they collect and send the data anyway, after the user has opted out.
TFA even states that users are able to opt out at any time, by selecting a setting on their phones. The point is that users are given warning, and an easy opt out dialog. It's easier than opting out of junk mail from your cell phone provider or refi options from your mortgage lender.
I was interested in making biodiesel at home a few years back, and I called all the restaurants in a small rural town near where I live. They were already getting paid for their waste oil. We're starting to see commercially produced biodiesel even in some smaller markets. It's very reasonable to suspect that most if not all commercially produced animal waste fat is already being consumed by the biodiesel market. The industry average for corn based ethanol is about a 40% energy gain, as the OP stated it's unbelievable that they'd get anywhere near that efficiency out of chicken harvesting. Peanuts can produce about 135 gallons of oil per acre, I wonder what the statistic for chickens would be like once one included the acreage to grow feed.
Imperial Units are beautiful for teaching people number systems: For base2 or binary you can use cups/pints/quarts people understand them. For base16 one can use ounces to pounds. Inches to Feet give you base12, but feet to yards are base3. When I taught people binary and hexadecimal systems at a career college, I found the fact that our measurements are never in base10 to be a beautiful thing.
From Great Western Minerals website it appears that supply and demand are fairly close, and that China is still the largest consumer as well as producer of Rare Earths. In fact it looks like MolyCorp has been ramping up production of Rare Earths for three years. They had been producing and processing Rare Earths up to 1998, but they stopped because they were no longer able to use "Off Site evaporation facilities."
And you think they'd have the funds to purchase diesel? What about the infrastructure to supply it? I agree with you about the need for sanitation, but you're also missing the point that modern plumbing didn't come about until the 19th century. While I seriously doubt that it would take sanitation engineers for every site, one would have to find people who work with septic systems regularly that were willing to volunteer to either teach what they know or work where they're needed.
All he needs to do is to put non-branded thank-you logos on them, and market them to the close-to-the-slums grocery stores. I doubt that those "flyaway toilets" are paid for by the users. More likely they're using the bags that the food originally came in.
This only works if the bags can safely hold food products before being used for disposal at the other end of the cycle.
Of course, everyone agrees that 7 out of 8 first posts agree that it's Windows only . . . Now I wonder if everyone agrees that 7 out of 8 first posts typically point out missing information in the summary.
Don't mind me, I just read it differently.
Over medication and American parenting are remarkably similar to how the Chinese government acts. The difference is that children don't actually function well in democracy without guidance. . . . oh wait, we're talking about Americans here. Disclaimer: I am American.
Perhaps the thing with running over Scooter the dog is also satire into the Chinese governement being certain of what's good for its citizens. They want to censor the web to protect them from the truth. You could see Scooter as Tiananmen Square. It's uncomfortable for China to acknowledge it. Who needs Google Bot in their Garage anyway is likely China's answer, they may not be certain they need Google in their country if it's going to reveal its dirty secrets.
It will, and it'll even show you where your child misplaced them after the joyride, and perhaps have a nice clip for your kids to post on youtube of you "rockin out" to some cheezey hairband rock.

Pardon my ignorance, but can anyone say what "23,322 Filesharing Does" are?
Simple, they're just basing their percent on the number 2600 the obvious and well known number of hackers.

Meh, I've been boycotting them since the MP3 lawsuits, and didn't give them any of my info before then.

Damnit! Now all the Windoze Fanboiz are going to say there's evidence that Linux and FOSS are communist.
