That feature IS quite ridiculous! I almost smashed my monitor in because I thought Pidgin was broken or some shit. You mean they did that on purpose!?? While I'm at it, I hate Gnome too, always thinking they know what's best for me! Well fuck those guys, F1 means raise/lower window and ctrl-tab means switch workspaces and whatever I want... - obviously i'm a KDE guy for now.
Why all the outrage over this? Auction houses (on and off line) should have to follow reporting rules just as stock brokerages do. And people who make real income from online auctions should pay income tax, just as I do on stock sales. I get a 1099 every year from my brokerage that lists each sale I made. What 90% percent of people don't realize is that you are only taxed on the gain from the sale. Ie I sell a car on ebay motors for less than I paid for it. There is no gain, thus no tax. Most casual ebayers will never pay a dime of tax from their ebay actions.
No, those are all horrible. If it is based on a real word, it will be tried first.
Any good cracking program will substitute $ for S, 4 for A, 3 for E, 7 for L, so on and so on. This problem is even easier if (like most places, hopefully not microsoft) your IT dept still uses NTLM passwords for window auth. The password algorithm breaks your character into 2 7-char halves and generates a hash via DES. So your great 12 char password is really one 7 character and one 5. The 5 character part will be broken in under 1 hour ( I broke the NP4UL! portion of your password as I typed this; 7minutes, 27 seconds). Even worse are "policies" that enforce 8 character passwords under Windows. Guess how long it takes to 'break' a 1 character password. Those passwords halves are also non-salted and only DES. DES is made to be fast. look up some of the magic you can do with the MMX registers to make DES really fast in certain circumstances - where you are breaking about 60 or more password halves at once. So if you have a list you are in luck because you can now compare the hash of the half you just broke with all the other halves in the list. Then you may save it off into a database to look up next time you are cracking passwords. Pre-calculation and other methods (so-called Rainbow tables) make cracking these passwords even easier.
Regular crypt passwords under Linux are almost as bad, except the salt makes them much more resistent to pre-calculation. MD5 passwords under Linux are much more robust if you choose a moderately hard password; as all of the characters in your password count towards the hash, and MD5 is SLOW compared to DES.
My advice is to generate a random password and use that. Include non-printables (alt + numpad). Avoid real words. Write it down and keep it on you until you remember it; 3-4 uses for me usually does the trick. Play with John The Ripper - it does ntlm passwords now.
PS If you use samba, its passwords are also stored in NTLM format; so you should use a different password than your standard MD5 Linux login.
Euro octane ratings are higher because they use only the RON (?) method. But in US, we use the
(RON+MON)/2 method. So euro 95 and US 87 are about the same octane
starting this semester at UMBC we used the pthreads-based Roadrunner real time os written by the professor. We ended up writing gettime(), a counting semaphore, shared memory facility ( map() ), and disk scheduling.
no, *you* try to find the number of times a criminal was scared away/ shot down by a homeowner, and after a very hard time finding the numbers, because scaring a buglar away with a gun is not newsworthy ( goes against the ultraliberal press' agenda ) , and the fact that people do it everyday and don't tell the police or anything, and you'd find that this number is much much larger than the one mentioned above. ( beware run-on sentance ).
ps there are ( counting ) 5 pistols, 3 rifles and one 12ga shotgun in my house, plus 5 children.
I bet you could hit head shots too, when the person you are shooting is in a well lit area, is a child, and is cowering in a corner or under a table. Police in general ( if they shoot ) are shooting at someone hiding behind a car or other object, or running, or in a dark place. Those kids in the school had total confidence that they were the only ones with guns, and could fire at their own leisure. It is much different when someone is firing, or you think they will fire, at you.
Secondly, a computer game gives no more gun training than using windows or somesuch. in each case you use your hand to move a mouse over a target ( icon, baddie ) and click the button. firing a gun is *not* the same!
the great part about putting a person inside is that you don't need a very powerful computer, as you already have a 3.5lb gray one. a human could use his sense of balance and just control the suit, like in alien 2. also, just make to suit tough enough, and if you drop a car on your head, it wouldn't hurt.

to NOT vote for Gore, along with gun control, bad healthcare, affirmatie action, and special interest ass-kissing. You know he will continue the socialist regime of Clinton.

apparently, ICMP blocking was the route taken by the noc at my school. all of a sudden, no more ping or traceroute outside our class B. It sucks that i have to pay for others' actions.
>The short version: Why should I run Gnome instead of KDE...?
OTOH, why should I run either? I, for one, love WindowMaker, with the Dock and it's right-click menu, plus xterm. for the record, i have tried Gnome, and found it annoying that i had to run Enlightenment, which i found even more annoying. i also tried KDE, but found it much too windows - like.

that is all.
ps. every single one of these examples has at least 1 memory leak.

If you make a profit, yes you do need to pay income tax on that amount.

then end of that episode where the big worm sucks its own crap was gross. it was so funny!
