    This is because the constuction industry has no connection at all with organized crime, and never has.

    What?
    Why are looking at me like that?

  2. Re:My passwords on Letters-Only LM Hash Database · · Score: 1

    Except that, IIRC, old LM hashes are case folded. I which case, you're looking at:

    36^6 + 36^7 + 36^8 ~= 2.9e12

    which is still big at 6-8 bytes per entry, but not all that bad.

  3. Playing with Celestia on Tune in to Titan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    OK, while playing with Celestia I came up with a closest approach distance of ~940km (to surface) at about 08:37 PDT on 10/26. I have no idea of the accuracy of the orbital elements for Cassini in Celestia, or what corrections might alo be planned. It's really cool to watch the approach at 10x speed though.

    I assume the NASATV scedule takes into account transmission delays (both speed-of-light and possible store and forward delays through the deep space network), so that doesn't sound too far off by schedule.

    Oh, and one more thing...let me right-click on any word to look it up in the dictionary or thesaurus site of my choice. You could always use this little code snippet I found several months ago here. I have it as a toolbar bookmark. I'm afraid I've lost the author's name. :( It does a Google search on selected text. It should'nt be too tough to modify for another site. (Admittedly its not quite as convenient as a right-click, but close.)

    And they didn't have to name the most prominent sub-villain Phil, either! Sure they did. That's Phil, the prince of insufficient light!
