Sure, right now. But I have no doubt that if all the "off limits" stuff dissipated tomorrow it would be neigh on 5 years before 5 star hotels and brand new sandy beaches with golf courses popped up.
Yes, you have a point. Although I do actually think that the classical rainbow table would fail there. Considering that with a classical rainbow table it is trivial to try, lets just say, 100 most common passwords. If those 100 don't work find a new user account and try again. With this method, however, it would actually be 10 billion combinations you would have to try, since you don't know which of the stupid passwords might correspond to which accounts. (Actually I think, knowing something about the math, that it would be less. I think that if you knew you were dealing with the same 5 users each time then the password wouldn't have to match that specific user. e.g. user A + pass 1 + user B pass 2 would be equivalent to user A pass 2 + user B pass 1).
However, that just defeats a single method of attack. Since we don't care about which accounts we use we could maybe look through the password hint field and find 5 people who set their password hint or challenge question to something that basically tells you the password, like "Shobiny and then the number seven" thinking they were clever. Don't allow password hints? Well.. there's another huge constraint.
I still think the worst part of this system is like I said above: While the system is running, any attempt to crack a password would essentially lock down the entire password management system for everyone, since chances are there would be at least one bad password in every block.
BM has lots of rules.. made up streets, leave no trace rules, public bikes which people manage not to steal. People at BM follow rules a lot better than people in your average rural town. Your ridiculous assertion is obviously based on something you saw on TV. Southpark perhaps?
Swing and a miss. Disney doesn't have to deal with a single two lane road. If there was a second way in and out of BM then there would be hardly any line at all.
Yes, people act cooperatively like the OP said. And yes, there are frequent announcements on the radio about what the expected wait time is. Finally, yes, the best solution is probably to make no changes.
Most people have to haul in and then back out the supplies that they needed in order to survive for a week in the desert. Busses only work for the small subset of people who got someone else to manage their supplies.
Ok, so you want something better than "we don't care" for a response. Your plan has a serious flaw: Not all license plates follow your pattern. In Oregon in particular the format is letter letter letter space number number number.
Also, leaving is a social experience. If you haven't learned to appreciate waiting in line by the end.. well.. you haven't really been there. Part of it is surviving, and surviving the line at the end is just the last step.
So basically users have to wait for someone in your home group to log in to be able to log in themselves? For public webservices they have far more regular users than they do public accounts.
Anyway, I take back what I said before about it being implementable. There is a huge flaw with validating user accounts in blocks: if anyone in the block enters invalid credentials then ALL users in that block will receive a password validation error. As a user it would be completely unacceptable to enter a password and then have to reenter because some other foolish user entered THEIR password wrong. Also, if someone started flooding the server with bad password attempts then it would be very difficult for anyone to log in ever.
And another thing: You are user A you enter the right password for your account, user B enters the wrong password for their account. All users in the block get an invalid password message. Extremely annoying. This system increases random frustration for the end user by quite a bit.
So this system would work for a web-server where a bunch of people are logging in all the time. It passes test #1: It can be implemented.
However, the security that this system imparts would only help for the first few (N - 1, depending on how many blocks are required to overlap) passwords. Once you have those first few passwords this system provides zero benefit, since you can use the passwords you know as keys to crack any future ones. If users can make user accounts then all you need to do is make N - 1 user accounts and you have completely defeated this system.
So this system creates a HUGE new constraint on your user management system: No accounts can ever be issued to any parties outside of your home trusted zone. I suppose there might be one situation in which this solution might be useful: classified government work. In all other situations this solution is worthless.
You've never been to prison or known anyone who has, have you? Every single thing that they serve is rancid or has been sitting out in the open air for 4+ hours. No one would notice, there would be no riots.
If you know nothing about a thing, perhaps you shouldn't start pontificating about it.
Actually, I think the smiley in that instance could be called evil because it referred to the firing of an employee of another company that he made happen. So, if I sent a knife to someone along with a letter telling them to stab you, and they then did it, then my package could be considered an evil package.
I suppose that my premise, if explicitly stated, is that the show was about exploration, and that most of the episodes were centered on some aspect or issue related to exploration. I imagine they felt that dealing with a language barrier in practically every episode was just too non-immersive for the average audience. However, they addressed it once. I would have been pleased to see them address it more than once, but other episodes were about addressing other things.
The bad episodes are the ones focused on addressing issues that never needed to be addressed at all.
Language is glossed over in the whole series. For a single episode they decided to address that one elephant in the room, and they did it well and in a memorable way.
The word "millions" is misleading here. For a large company, and especially when you make it the plural "companies", this is the equivalent of saying "...especially given the pennies companies spend on security and their intense focus on compliance."
Individual users spend a larger portion of their income on a virus scanner than companies typically spend on security, even if that amount adds up to millions for the companies. Half the time this is true even of the computer security providers themselves.

Ignorance combined with stupidity, and topped off with elitism.
Burning man is specifically anti-money. Buy your way to the front solutions have no place there.

The Starfleet legal system seems to have been meticulously designed to provide for maximum melodrama.
It's based on reality. Our legal system would seem exactly the same on TV... you'll have to excuse me now, "the good wife" is on.

9: FB has very tight security. You never see a note about Facebook being hacked, and in security, no news is good news.
You don't really pay attention to security do you? Here's a fun video for you.
