That's 131 of the passwords are less than 6 characters. I'm guessing these passwords are very old, before better security measures were put in place.
Hi kids, Mr. Question Mark here. This sentence is a command because you are telling someone to bullshit your dick, not asking them why they aren't bullshitting your dick. So you don't need to use me. Instead, try Mr. Exclamation Point. But between you and me, he's a real asshole.
Why don't you call Microsoft support and ask them. After all, isn't this one of the things you pay for and they are supposed to provide stellar support with?
I own two mac minis and an iPhone 4. But I'm more of an Apple skeptic than a hater. I don't have a 4S, but I've seen and used Siri and thought it did well. But it still has a long ways to go. All I was pointing out was that Apple captured the public's imagination of what could be done with voice recognition that other products didn't do before, even though they had the same thing. Other companies have been offering consumers voice recognition for application control for more than a decade, but I never saw people going ape shit for it like they do for Siri.
And what I mean by "finally learned how the process works" is that Apple in the 80s failed even though they had the best stuff in advance of other competitors (note I'm not saying they invented anything). Their strategy now seems to be working better for them and its highly based on marketing and getting into people's heads.
All that the iPhone 4S has shown is that once again it doesn't matter if you have a better product with more features and are first to market with it, its just how you market it.

I use vim, my wife uses emacs. We sleep in the same bed, unless she is swapping.
Some do, but many don't even give it a thought or don't care. I'm not saying that programmers should be spending 50% of their time optimizing. Obviously there isn't a need to fit programs in 2K of RAM anymore, But some don't even give it a first thought and thus you wind up with Java programs that require 1GB of RAM simply for the purpose of moving files between folders (I'm not exaggerating).
You make the submitter sound like a whiny bitch... yet all I detected in his questions were eagerness and optimism. Where did he complain? Where did demand support for this language from you? Why the hostility? You don't have to read his posts at dartlang.org you know. Christ at the end he was hoping to help build support for Dart.
I'm the whiny bitch. And I'm whiny because I've seen all this before. Many of us have. It happens over and over and over. Computers should be a means to an end, but instead we keep making them a means to a means to a means to a means (recursion anyone?). Progress is fine, but what ends up happening in the computer industry is that we never are satisfied with the solutions we already have. People keep feeling the need to reinvent the wheel and few people work together, use existing solutions or think of the long term. Standards and languages end up more like fashion trends instead of tools. I think we'd benefit a lot more if we just identified ten or so languages that people could learn for different tasks and then because there were only ten, more people would know them, have more code reuse and better support and we'd get more done because we wouldn't be thinking all the time how to make a better language or IDE or any of the tools that you need. But instead every company thinks that if they push their own language that it will be different this time. Like moths towards the flame.
When I think back to playing vast adventure games, like Below the Root, that amazingly fit on two sides of a 5.25" floppy, but the same game now would probably be written to take up a CD-ROM, even using the same graphics. Programmers have lost the ability to optimize.
Hi. I'm a young whipper snapper who would like to learn something fresh and new with almost no user base instead of using already existing solutions that do all that I'd ever need to do and have loads of documentation and already existing user base. And instead of acknowledging that I was foolish to try using a brand new language and expect great support, I'm going to complain to everyone I come into contact with that they don't support this new language and if they were worth anything they would support it because its by company X or uses this new paradigm Y.
Calm down. It took overnight for the news of Ritchie's death to make the front page too. If anything it needs to be verified first. Long time Slashdot readers may remember some of the hoaxes over people's deaths that made it to the front page immediately, but then had to be retracted. Jamie W. Zawinski dying in a motorcycle crash in the late 90s was one of them. If you want immediate unverified news, use social media.
What do you think about the current state of educational programming both on TV and online? Do you think kids are getting the right and important information?
Actually its funny that you question the openness because BTC is the most open market I know as far as information goes. I'm often surprised how much information about everything is shared. Its actually fun more than anything and you can geek out on information alone without having to pay extra for that info.
As for speculation, if you revealed the information that speculators use, then the holding of information would just move one step back because there are always people who want to leverage their position for their own personal gain.
Honestly, I doubt it made too much of a dent in their profits. Even if there were 10,000 people out there mining all paying $800 for a 6990 video card, thats still only $8 million. AMD is a $6 billion company with annual income last year of $471 million. But most miners are buying $200 video cards.
The real interesting thing will be seeing the flood of high end graphics cards hitting the market as the difficulty falls due to people stopping mining. Either that or there will be a new wave of GPU bound businesses.
That sounds suspiciously like when my mom used to say "Because I said so."
You're obviously alive. Maybe you have a job and are generally doing ok? Well then, I think "because I said so" worked for you. "Because I said so" is just a way of saying "You're too young and naive to understand why this is a bad idea and that I know what is better for you, but I'm putting in a way to exert my authority so that you don't question it." According to your profile you are a father and should hopefully already know this.
I find that any claim of "World's most....." is usually just a case of people not doing enough research. Try Stars of the Lid - Even (Out)+ for some really relaxing music.

Why don't you bullshit this?

There really needs to be a "-1, woosh" moderation option on Slashdot.

Coincidentally, there were. Last night.

Can you talk about any time when you felt that the direction of Internet development was not going in the way that you hoped it would?
