Point in case. I know one person that "deleted" her account. She got an e-mail to a link to reopen it. After a few years she was enticed/pressured by friends to join Facbook. She then clicked the link and voila, all data was there "again". The actual data is never deleted, it is just not public.
My main system runs windows because I hate dual booting and love games. I even program games, so I need to kind of stick to my core user base. (Yes I develop cross platform where it is feasible.) But that does not stop me from having a bunch of open source software on my machine. For starters I just can't live without cygwin, especially bash. There are also very nifty windows only open source software, such as Notepad++. I used to ne 100% Linux at home, but that has proven to just be not feasible. As I grow older I seem to have less time and definitely don't want to invest it into my systems. I want them to just work... Linux never works 100% and Apple never caught my vibe.
Actually even if the attacker knows the method used for the password using words safer. The reason is simple take a 8 character password and a 52 character set you end up with 52^8 = 72301961339136 passwords. Take only your 9755 word "character set" as input and a 4 "letter" password you end up with 9755^4 = 9055430358000625. This is two orders of a magnitude better. The problem obviously with words is that they are not evenly distributed, but that is the case for letter too. The upside of this scheme is that the password hash is also "complex" in that using a rainbow table is significantly more complex because the clear text is longer. At these lengths I think there is a grater chance that the rainbow table hits a collision than your password.
Ok I am not really a proponent of nuclear weapons technology and we probably don't need much research in the field, the current weapons are awesome enough. But I still think that having a nuclear stockpile and being ready to use it is important for stability. The basic idea is to leverage any rogue government that might think they own a weapon that can outperform the US military. Sure you could have terrorists with nukes, but that changes nothing, you can't undo the technology.
Right, because the have to go through the entire industrial revolution like we did?! Ever consider that they might hop onto more efficient / cleaner technology? Most of the third world is close the the equator, think they might be able so implement some solar power? (Just to counter the argument: use e.g. molten salt, can be stored for weeks at operational temperature for power generation.) I know this is high tech, but we have the technology, but not the climate, could make a buck or two off it even. Living standards have NOTHING to do with C02 emission (or any other pollution), the way to achieve the standard have.
I kind of disagree, in some way. As a government employee you have actually sufficient time to think it though. But the big obvious problem is that you normally don'T think of all the hooks and notches while you write the original spec. Then you go for a bid and Germany, (for government contracts) you need to take the cheapest bid, that fulfills some basic requirements. As it tuns out there is ALWAYS one bid that servilely undercuts the other bids and you know that this one is crap. Only problem is formally the bid is ok. There is a reason why the Netherlands always take the second best bid, that prevents price fixing.
So? Ok, depending on the scanner technology used and the technical inclination of the student, you can also fool a fingerprint scanner. You basically need someone to overlook the actual scanning. I ask myself why the good old list and call names does not work? Sometimes the good old technology still works better than the wizz bang Hi-Tech; like pen and paper for note taking...
I read one of the job postings from BKA for "IT Security Programmer". I definitely was not included to do the devils job, even though I had the skill and sufficient background to do it. Maybe I should have done it, would not have been a mess like it is now. (And pass it on to the likes of CCC...)
"There has to be incentive to create, or there will be no creation."
What utter bullshit. Most if not all artists create out of love or compulsion. Not because they get payed. Getting payed for what you do just makes creation easier. But it never are the artists that complain about piracy, ya know. Its the corporations that are behind the artists that complain. They have lots to lose.
To see proof of that just look on the internet, places like deviant art. Those people are not creating because they get payed, they create because they love. Many hope that love and pay align themselves, but that seldom happens. Even artists, once employed, what they create is not fun, it's a job, not what they want to do. Many will do stuff along the job, because that is the fun part.
Basically the only reason why corporations are nice to people or care for the environment or what not is because it benefits them. The reason why car manufacturer build cleaner cars is only so they can sell you new ones. The only reason why light bulb manufacturer build energy saving light bulbs is so they can sell you new ones. The only reason why your employer cares for you is because most employers figured out that treating your people good binds talent and maximizes your individual output. Corporations are designed to be egoistic, it is nice when once in a while that egoism aligns itself with something good.
But I also think that we look at the wrong things when it comes to ratings. I was watching TRON Legacy and my daughter (6) loved the visuals and music. So I though, oh to hell, that movie is not that violent. (Compared to come cartoons for that age...) So I sat down with her and started to watch the movie. We had to stop, not because of some violence or some suspense; because the character of Rinsler was too frightening. Can you imagine?! I sometime thing we get the priorities wrong...
That remember of an anecdote, a friend of mine her husband was watching some old pirate movie and the son (5) set down next to him. After a short while, she said: "Honey! Can't you watch something that is appropriate for our son?" (Apparently the child was OK with pirates fighting each other.) So he switch to some cartoon. Can you believe that the child was frightened shit less by the dragon "monster" in the cartoon?
I am not so sure about CFD. We did 3D CFD with NaSt3DGPF at the German Federal Waterway Administration. The input data to the computation and result sets where along the lines of multiple GB. Pulling the data out of the Cluster over LAN was already trouble. The process was speed up substantially when input generation was done on the actual cluster. (Input came from a few input txt files and was compiled into the computation grid.) Just getting the data to and from AWS will be a major nightmare.

Since this is probably a University, they probably already have a place to put the thing, that is powered and climate controlled. So there are actually "no running" costs. Yes, admins are "free" too.
And looking at the average research project, there is always follow up research and if you need more money, you probably will get an answer along the lines of, "Whait? We what did you do with all that money we gave you?"
I'm not sure about the quality of the patents at Motorola, but they are big into patents. For example if you got a patent approved you got to have a gold badge. That shows how important patents where/are for Motorola. But coming from a hardware standpoint it really makes sense though...

What I don't really get is this... It is a divorce procedure, what EVIDENCE do they want to find on FB?! Like that changes anything the settlement.
Or the new password that is.

Or they rally to bring out the LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon) and DDOS the target. Not really hacking though.
Look, the go into your house to install the software. So why should they not use hardware? Seriously...
No no we are unfailable. "Wir sind Papst!"
Except that you need not to type your passwd twice... so much for that...

Yes you do, once you find the dead body of a child you can match the fingerprint with the database and you know exactly which child it is...
