most of the pre-hashed tables for LANMAN passwords that I've seen are just the alphanumerics, so in that sense it can make a big difference (10 hours vs 10 minutes).
The brute force attack is probably offline, so the admin wouldn't necessarily notice. If you have password caching enabled (most windows systems do) and local users have the local admin password (trivially breakable if they aren't given it) then if the domain admin ever logs into their system, a user can break the cached password hash locally, and then run amok through the network with the domain admin's password.
Forcing a policy of disallowing cached passwords is a good start, but for laptops which may be disconnected from the network it's not really viable (and you could probably work around that anyway, after you break the local admin password)
Forget mandatory retirement ages - you'll need to work until you have enough $$ to live on for the projected remainder of your life.
This will finish off most national retirement plans (those that are still viable now), tho.
If your house is paid off, you just need enough money for day-to-day stuff. I figure I'll be able to drop down to part-time work in less than 10 years, and maintain a better standard of living than I have now. That could well continue for N years, where N is 'until I get bored'
Our current concept of retirement is based on trying to have a few years to enjoy what you've worked all your life for. That model would probably change with extremely long lifespans, but I think that'd be healthier anyway...

Don't have blood transfusions. Don't be a doctor/paramedic/fireman/... helping people who may be infected. Don't play contact sports with people who may be infected....
There are lots of ways to get peoples' blood on you, and you can't always avoid them all and still live a meaningful life.
what most of the posts here essentially say is that since anything commercial is pirated anyway, the cost of windows is the same as the cost of debian/slack/fedora/...
So people will run whatever suits their needs better. Both personally and at my workplace, we have machines bought with windows licenses that are running linux, but none bought with linux and running windows. If price isn't an issue, an educated user will choose based on functionality.
I'd expect linux to do well, since it's a fresh new market rather than one that is already 99.9% MS...
it's funny that the banner they have on the top-right of their page isn't one of the ones in the 'use our banners' list. It's the simplest and least hokey-looking...
they offer the same content in both, and they also have instructions for patching both mplayer and older windows media for the proper codecs (if needed).
" We tested our streams using the Mplayer plugin version 2.66 on: - Gentoo Linux 1.5.1 - FreeBSD 5.x "
Sometimes I'm happy with how they spend my taxes:)
Now if only the NPR station I listen to when cbc is playing opera would offer ogg streaming, I'd be set!
it isn't really a reversal, but you don't care, because it's the same result.
you pass in a hash, and it gives you a password that will result in that hash. There may be several passwords that could give you that hash, but you don't care, because you only need one.
