According to the Passfault demo (that's the link in the summary above) it would take 18384672610116790 centuries to crack "This chicken tastes like shit!"
Where the xkcd password "Correct horse staple battery" would take 72624497 centuries to crack. That is if it wasn't already on the internet for everyone to see and try.
There was nothing on. And I mean nothing. I had the highest tier my cable company provided. All the channels, movies, music, everything. And there was nothing on. The last day I had cable I was channel surfing looking for something to watch and I came across a "reality" show about two dumb blondes running a tanning salon in Beverly Hills California. And they were talking about NOTHING....one had her hair done...liked the others nails...how much they drank the night before...who they saw at a party....etc. Turned the tv off, called the cable company and ended my subscription, and sold the tv a few months later when I found a new use for the space it was taking up. Never looked back.
...from the "on-demand" services that many satellite and cable operators provide? Last time I checked (and it was years ago) on-demand let you watch the show without commercials.
The Password Protection Act of 2012 (PPA) would also prevent employers from accessing information on any computer that isn't owned or controlled by an employee, including private e-mail accounts, photo sharing sites, and smartphones."
Shouldn't that be isn't owned or controlled by the employer or company instead? An employee's personal computer (and I'm using personal here to mean one that belongs to the employee) shouldn't be accessed by the employer either.
Doctor's note says not to take the pump through the full body scanner. Doctor's note about a medical device trumps college drop-out TSA agent. Teen should have just said, "I have an insulin pump. I always get a pat down" and left it at that. Obviously if you ask a question giving the TSA agent a choice, they are going to take the path-of-minimal-work-for-them and push you through the scanner.
Now can you guys stop flag waving in every farking movie? We know Hollywood is in the USA you don't need to remind yourselves (and everyone else in the world) where it is located.
This has to stop as well, but I don't know how to fix it.
Simple. Well maybe not simple but the solution is to have companies stop requiring a bachelor's degree as a minimum requirement for every single job out there. This has watered down what university used to be. No longer is it a place of higher learning, higher thinking, and higher reasoning. Instead it has become a mill churning out tomorrow's workforce.
How good of a program was it? If it was mediocre at best isn't it better for the university to put funding into programs it can do better and let students that are interested in a computer science degree pursue their studies at a university with a better program?
It doesn't matter the platform. Mac, Windows, Linux. Stupid users get viruses. They're the ones clicking on every farking attachment in every farking e-mail they receive without first doing a simple visual check of the email (ie. reading it). They're the ones downloading executables from unknown or untrusted sources and running them on their computers. They're the ones that believe every little farking web browser pop-up informing them that their computer is infected and THEY MUST CLICK HERE NOW!!!!! (Hint: web browser != anti-virus )
Last time I checked Slashdot was exactly about solving the submitter's problem and not about feeding people in Africa.
By the way, western countries have been DUMPING money into Africa for decades. Decades. Plural. And that has failed to solve the problem. Maybe the solution is the simplest one: The starving people in Africa live in a fucking desert. Maybe they should move to where the food is.
The company is paying you to sit at home because firing you right now would look really bad in the middle of all this and you are farking bitching about it?
Shut the f$@# up and go back to watching television.
But after he released Avatar didn't Cameron go on and on and on complaining about all the movies that were out in 3D that were really flat films converted into 3D after the fact and that how most films didn't even have a reason to be in 3D and it was just being used as a marketing trick and a gimmick?
Kids that young do not need computers to learn. They need to be taught the same 3 simple basics that have been taught in every primary school for decades: Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. You do not need computers to learn or teach any of those. Introduce them to music and art to round out their education. Then in high school start introducing them to computers. And no, contrary to what some people like to think, these students will not fall behind the other kids that had access to computers. Using a computer is a skill. A very easily obtained skill. And high school is early enough to start teaching kids this skill.
Nothing was stolen. They made a copy of a file or files that contained the credit card numbers. The company still has their copy of those numbers so they haven't actually lost anything.
So at most this is what? copyright infringement?
//Hey if that bullshiat argument works for "acquiring" a digital copy of a song that wasn't paid for it should be applied here as well

Funny.

Apple just tipped their hand. They will change what Siri responds with if they don't like the answer.
So now ALL answers Siri provides are in doubt. Was the answer what Siri actually came up with from search results or did Apple intervene?

Unplug your electronics when there is a storm. Plug your electronics back in when the storm is over. Reset your clocks. Done.

Does someone that is driving a vehicle really need to be tweeting or updating their facebook status to "I'm driving my BMW" ?
Maybe they should be more concentrated on what they are doing and what is going on around them rather than moronic social network updates.

That's probably Jupiter you are looking at. Venus is close to the horizon.
Hurry up and implode already so we can get some actual competition and competitive prices.
Why did the publisher get $600,000 dollars when the kid only sold 8 of their textbooks?
Shouldn't they only get the equivalent of what each US published book is sold for?

Came here wondering the same thing.
Applets failed before they even had a chance to take off. Who the hell is still installing the Java plugin?
And he's complaining. Really?

Smells like the height of the dot-com bubble when everybody and their brother read an HTML book and called themselves a programmer.
To men business is just business. But women in charge make and take every thing personal.
