Yeah, I see what you’re really doing there Google...
Those three days were spent umm, filling a capacitor of some kind I think...
Shit, I don't even think we have the MATH to travel those kind of distances.

Sure we do:

Humans know over a trillion digit.
It seems like all this would do is just decrease the brute force speed since you would have to do image analysis (assuming you could write a decent CAPTCHA solver). How would this be different than passing a password through an algorithm 1000’s of times?
Also it seems like it might decrease password security. Depending on what is known about the encrypted data, an attacker may not have any way to check if the password is correct. With the CAPTCHA, I would think it would be quite easy to detect the characters that are out of the norm of randomness even if you can’t tell the letters and pass it to a human or deeper scan. That is unless there are false positive CAPTCHA outputs?
After having to use windows 7 at work, here are some reasons I still use XP at home:
Familiar and stable
Lower memory footprint
More responsive
By far, the windows XP exploere.exe shell
The control panel, everything is sorted across and down so if the windows resize everything moved around. The add remove programs is way at the bottom
The login, in XP you could login very quickly and not even have to look up from the keyboard. Now in windows 7 you have to press ctrl+alt+del then wait, then press enter, then type your password. Makes me hate win 7 every time I logon
Here are a few things I can just recall off the top of my head that I dislike about the explore shell in windows 7:
No longer can drag and drop the very top left corner of folders to create a shortcut.
The address bar format in a folder browser.
The auto resorting or folder when you rename stuff.
The hiding of the + and – icons next to folder in the explore tree, saves no space just hides information until you hover over it.
The tree view always seems to jump to the wrong position than where I want.
The folder and sub folder that always expands in tree view.
The only places I want go is c:\ or Desktop the user file
The extra backwards compatibility folders that you always get access denied on when you’re thinking XP.
The fact that the Users folder starts with U so it’s always at the bottom, instead of Documents and settings towards the top.
The start menu, The recent programs and files is nice but every time I try and use it, it never has the recent file or app I’m looking for. Useless if it’s not consistent.
Don’t get me started with the windows search I’m sure there is some way to do some of the following but it’s not inherent.
o Make it faster, even with no index XP search is way faster after the first search.
o Open containing folder in new window without stopping the search.
o Search for more than one thing at a time.(Ex *.jpg *.gif)
o Search by size, date, etc, without having to know some weird text logic.
o The title bar fills with a garbage text URL string, very unprofessional.
About the only feature that I have found that makes me want to go to windows 7 at home is the nice GPU statistics you can now get in Process Explore that only shows up in windows 7. I don’t know if that’s because of a core difference or if the Process Explorer team just decided to alienate XP users.
So they can change them back taxes with outrageous interest and penalties?
Na that’s hoping too much of the government, they only do that to hard working individuals.
..."We sampled randomly from the 200,000 or so Jeopardy clues that have been aired."
let me guess the search text included site:j-archive.com
how about you do the test without aired questions:)

I use this program: http://www.foldermatch.com/ . It's build in duplicate finder does exactly what you want: http://www.foldermatch.com/images/duplicate-file-finder.jpg . Of course you could always write your own tool as well. Folder match does it pretty efficiently though.

Can someone pleases explain to me why Slashdot removed all formatting from my message even though I have html post method setup in my prefs?

"cutting 34 jobs" but wait that is a bad thing according to every politician. They are always saying we need to create more jobs
Why not just pipe the warm water from the servers in to the boiler and then the boiler has to heat the water less?
