Wow you really know nothing about encryption. Sigh.. Everyone is an expert. Zdnet looked at ighashgpu that's unsalted password decryption when you already have a precomputed hash table. TH looked at salted password decryption where you have to perform a SHA-1 transformation invocation thousands of times per every password attempt.
Given who's running the government, I'm pretty sure it's about getting people who send movies and music to other people. I'm also pretty sure if somebody really tries to use the Internet to take down America, the government will miss that because it doesn't involve an mp3 file.
More likely an flv or mp4 file IMO. When Khomeini took over Iran, it was by mailed cassettes.
In a radio broadcast in Germany not long ago, the online security of banks was described to be the equivalent of putting the money in a carton box on the street (if you understand German: Here's a transcript as PDF).
After reading this story, I think the carton box would actually provide more safety.
It would. If you allow plastic bags, then the box could contain coffee grounds. This would be especially true if one has a few trial runs to convince the crooks that the box is worthless.
I know this is kind of unrelated to TFA, but let me say something I enjoy thinking of: Decentralization is on the way.
More and more, governments and corps realize that a single entity to enforce law is nowhere near as efficient as it used to be. Having a police or a cyberpolice to track crimes and enforce whatever you thought was right used to be quite efficient. But the ease at which people communicate and exchange informations or objects now makes it nearly impossible (if not totally) to monitor what every single one does. Sure they could cross that fated line and start walking into people's privacy for no appearant reason, but they should prepare for a mob of "mah freedon of spech!!!11!".
Point is, it's now much safer to rely on people themselves (the educated kind, of course (whatever the fuck that means)) to regulate the rest. But it's putting the very existence of a government, and more generally, of a single law enforcing entity, in question. Slowly. Everytime.
Feels good to believe in Anarchy.
The Gestapo called. They claim prior art for networking.
OT, I know. But because we haven't heard an official statement from Slashdot on this matter, can someone please tell me why we're having so many of these Varnish cache server errors? What is it, some problem with the cluster environment? Regardless, this all seems to have started with the new format roll-out.
I'm surprised by all this Varnish stuff. That's old technology. I'd think that Slashdot could at least spring for some cheap polyurethane coatings.
Maybe its unvarnished. Then again, maybe it needs a second coat.
I used to be a huge Dilbert fan before I got a real job and saw how depressingly accurate the comic was. I seem to recall SEVERAL multi-strip sequences with this theme. None of them worked out well, I think.
Kill the rabbit. Kill all the other messengers too.
The key here is surreptitiousness. The researcher must act uninterested and as if they aren't trying to measure anything in particular and especially not with any fine accuracy. It helps if they whistle and distractedly reorganize bottles on a shelf while glancing fleetingly over at the experiment letting out a bored "Meh" as they do so.

Experts -- What do they know?
It's been known for quite some time, but apparently the one who submitted it and the editor who greenlit it didn't get the memo.
Did they crack the memo?
...is good.
Do you intend to turn that into carbon dioxide and water?

The other threat was made to a scientist at a university function last year by a person not known to university staff (or the cops).

At what point do you stop thinking of this as a glitch and start thinking of it as an attack?
And if it is a cause of war, then how are you sure you were not spoofed?
US: walmart has a $300 sale on widescreen TVs.
Cheaper in Vancouver. You just throw a brick through a window and grab it.
Overheard: "Honey, do you think I'm made of bricks?"
Wow, did I really just write "half is glass full?" Clearly I need to do the dishes less often...
Half full, or half empty? Glass is easily downsized if one has a hammer.

That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard!
It sounds like something an idiot would put on his planetary air shield. Wait... I think we got this joke backwards somehow.
It worked great for his luggage.
Perhaps he could write a book about it.

Your Government?
Seems to me the FCC doing a 475 page report on something that was pretty obvious is Government waste.
Then the Government Accountability Office can do a report on their report.

Haven't termite gut bacteria been known to digest wood for years?
If it takes years, then the wood would clog their gut like a tiny dowel.
In "Stalking the Wild Asparagus" Euell Gibbons recounts a Depression era story of eating grass in a lady's front yard.
She came out to ask what was going on, and he said "Lady, I'm so poor that I have to eat grass."
She said come around back, it is much better there.

By establishing who funds them.
We're Crime, and Crime doesn't pay.

Yes, but they are planning to do so.

There was a loud plosive sound in the ladies' room. Little Bit said "Mom, is that you?"
Of course you don't know! There's a simple explanation for that. The timey wimey folds of spacetime have done a wibbly wobbley again, that's why!
