Well yes, obviously, but you'd need to know to apply that specific rainbow table.
I would say they get to that one after first trying:
- Single Word 8 letters and under, English(American) - 8 character alphanumeric - 8 character printable - 2 words US English, no space - 2 words US English with space - 2 words US English, l33t - 2 words US English with three non-alphanumeric characters each side of the words, with a space
Interesting tangent; Did you intentionally choose the Wisconsin area code? If so, why not mix it up? Wisconsin%%%1234 significantly increases entropy, and is no less easy to remember.
Do plea bargain convictions set precedent? Is this precedent binding on lower courts? I can't see this being just (yes I know this is nothing to do with justice).
The only feasible approach is to send mechanical beings - these can be switched off and thus consume no power until they are needed, thus saving huge resources.
Not at all. We just need to wait until we can store and reboot human beings reliably.
Saying that, we also need to figure out relativistic speed travel. Leaving here for P.Centauri at the speed Voyager 1 is travelling (4.2 Lightyears at 38,600 MPH, fastest human space craft), it would take over 18,000 years to reach.
Nowadays you have to upgrade a PC every 4 years or so.
Quite. I still find my Q6600 (stock clock), 4GB DDRII, and 8800GTX (before it died) ran almost any game I could think of at my monitor's native res of 1920x1200 with reasonable graphics detail. In fact, my upgrade was going to be a second 8800GTX from fleabay (I got burned by the seller; Sold me a known faulty card he claimed to have repaired, I found out afterwards. Fuck eBay for not understanding that). Ended up with a HD6950; Good card.
I wouldn't be surprised if I run this rig until the hardware dies.
I was recently the victim of card fraud. Bank stopped the transaction, but I still had to go in to the local branch to unblock my accounts. I explained that I knew how these things worked regarding small charitable donations, asked for a statement to look for other unauthorised transactions, and found none..
I don't know if there's the option to allow the charitable donations to stand and then refuse other charges; Technically it wasn't me who made the donation, yet I'd rather not cost the charity money for the sake of £5. It wasn't their fault.
Catch Me If You Can is the dramatisation of the story of Frank Abignale Jr, who forged cheques and socially engineered his way into airline cockpits, hospital wards as a doctor, and even law courts as a barrister. Aside from starting point (assisting organised crime for this guy, grand larceny for Mr Abignale) the story is the same; Get caught, do some time, become a high paid consultant for TLAs and the private sector.
It shouldn't be hard to allow users to add a distress password that would make Facebook appear logged in but would hide anything that would not be visible to outsiders.
A protection against coerced Facebook access?!
I don't want to be part of a society where that is necessary.
Simple until a prospective employer asks you to log in.
"I don't have an account." = Liar. Don't hire him. "I don't have an account." = Something to hide. Don't hire him. "I don't have an account." = Antisocial, won't work well with others. Don't hire him.
"I don't have an account." = Has a brain, probably won't follow my instructions unquestioningly and take the blame for fuck ups silently. Don't hire him.
The only winning move is not to play, and by that I mean walking out of interviews. Yes, easier said than done if you don't have a job, but hey... "They tree of liberty..." etc.
Locally cached user info is what Offline Mode is. The issue I have is that I already cache my login details, as I don't need to enter any login details when I start up Steam.
I should probably point out that this isn't a bug; It's by design. It's to stop people sharing their entire library with friends and playing all the latest games offline for free. It won't get fixed because it's exactly as it's meant to be.
Valve's approach to things (they are actually successfully competing against 'free,' which is the technological equivalent of making a river flow upstream)
Only until you get bitten. I've bought my last Steam game, thanks to BT "upgrading" my modem recently.
Around 3 weeks ago, a BT engineer came in to install a new and improved Infinity modem. He set it up, got it working, ran a couple of tests, and left. Within 30 mins, it had lost sync and wouldn't reconnect without a reboot. I called BT back and told them that the modem was faulty, and they told me the engineer would return tomorrow. He didn't, and he also didn't come the day after, so I was left with 3 days / 2 nights without internet access.
Steam has an Offline Mode, which as any reasonable person would expect is for when you are unable to connect to the internet. You start Steam, it states "There's no network connection, quit or start in Offline Mode" and you make your choice. However, Offline Mode doesn't work like that. Offline Mode is for when you know ahead of time that you will be without internet connectivity, and must be enabled prior to quitting Steam, or your internet connection being disconnected. If your connection goes down before you set Offline Mode, you are locked out of all of your games until Steam can reconnect to the internet. This means that, should Steam go offline, everyone is locked out of their games.
Steam is convenient until it isn't. Then it's just like all DRM; Another piece of shit between you and the stuff you legally bought. Once again, the pirates have a demonstrably better experience than the lawful. Once again, a paying customer is converted to a pirate because of DRM issues. Once again, DRM in all flavours is proven to do nothing but encourage piracy.
I am done with DRM. EA, Sony, Ubi, and now Valve are dead in my eyes. I'm just so damn upset that I spent so much on Steam content before I realised.
Anonymous? Hell no; I bought that software! I just hope I can help others see why, no matter how convenient now, Steam is still a bad deal.
Sorry sir, you damaged the license. You'll need to purchase a new license at full retail value.
This is the crux of the matter. Either it is a physical copy which I have purchased, in which case it is mine and I can do with it as I wish, or it is a license to the content of the media, in which case I am entitled to access the media while I still hold that license. They have the idea that they can license us the content for the purposes of content protection, but sell us a product for the purposes of trade description / Fitness for Purpose.
With this information, Pirates of the Caribbean would have been a much different movie:
"Ellow! Oym Cap'n Jyeck Sparra, epples 'n' peers! Moi new fiiiist mayt, Meeeeeeeery Poppuns! Uhhh, oi mean Keeeeeeera Noytlee, wonders if she moyt be a-comundeeeeeeerin' yer Jersey Moat, me ol' choyna!"
Done. Reinforced and internally locked cockpit doors, secured prior to passenger boarding, are standard on all commercial aircraft.
and and citizen awareness.
Done. There are numerous instances of passengers intervening in the cabin, from notifying cabin crew of suspicious activity through to physically restraining people who claim to have explosives or attempting to open cabin doors.
The World Trade Centre attack simply cannot happen again; It was a one-shot affair. What is needed is better screening of cargo (dogs / electronic detection systems for explosives) and better screening of air-side personnel. Passenger hijacking is a thing of the past.

It just occurred to me that besides /. I rarely use any US based websites, and those I do have EU based alternatives.
