lets see, assimung they used first letter last letter pairs of phrases (like the list) you have
26*25*26*25*26*25*26*25*26*25*26*25*26*25*26*25* 26 *25*26*25 (assuming that q does not end words, I know it ends a few though).
you know the password is 20 characters long (does not help much)
I get 8*10^30 (about, I may have added a 25*26)
I typical strong password has ]95 possible characters a place (a-z,A-Z,0-9,shifted 0-9, space, and another series of symbols between enter and the letters.
so if we rounf that to 100 we have the equivelent of 15 random characters (100^15=1(10^30)).
so I would call that 20 character all lowercase password strong, very very strong. It is a huge Pain in the ass though.
Also statistical analysis could possibly speed up the prossess. (for example e ends a lot of words)
Also will a tape recorder be a powerful tool to crack these? I imagine that a lot of people will think out load remembering what they saw.
I doubt that the structural regularity is going to make it weaker then a typical "strong" 8-12 character password.
Actually wget, grep, and sed are all available for widonws as one extra package.
if you tok those files along with your batch file you could put them in the same directory and even zip them together and clal that the install program. You would after all need to keep your script to re-install on an upgrade.
I admit that you would need to download the GNU utilities for windows, but that is one package. And I am not talking about Cygwin (which is great, but not what you need).here is a link to the page, there is a zip file with about 20 or so GNU utils, including wget, sed, grep.
Batch may not be as powerful as Bash, but it can easily accept a few parameters and do simple branching, which should be plenty good for what you need.
I could be wrong though, maybe you need to do more with the output of grep then batch allows? Or maybe you are not in charge of how this part gets implemented, so the people do not know how to use these tools? Or maybe you were too anti MS to even check.
There is definatly a nice set of tools to do what you want without installing "a bunch of extra packages" though.
The Grandparent is an idiot, I won't deny that. But the per capita insedense of violent crime in the US is strongly linked to the population density.
So I could argue that the lower rates of crime in Canada is less because of population density.
If someone want sto debunk me all you need to do is find the crime rate of Montreal and an equivently dense US city.
Of course I could say "well everyone know the canucks are peacenics" (as the great grandparent said) and that is the cause of low crime high gun control and not the gun control causing everything else.
Or I could say that Canada is so fucking could that there is no way on hell you are going to have any kind of a street life.
I could also argue that the existance of large peacenic countries has been sustained by us warmongering Americans, and while you were busy implementing universal healthcare we were busy making sure that no other country got powerful enough to start another world war (thank you nukes and anti starwars treaty).
In the end my point is that comparing two countries is kind of pointless. In the US when gun restrictions are slightly losended (carying allowed) crime drops. That is not to say that insane gun control laws would not also drop crime, it is just to say insane restrictions would not also drop crime, just that it is not the only way.
Lastly, I read in another post that this thing has 1.5J of energy. I can punch a hell of a lot stronger then this, and probably with a litle bit a training throw a knife far more deadlier. I did not RTFA but it loked from the pictures to be about like a BB gun, which is actually considered a dangerous toy, but a toy none the less.
Both of the fast paced games I had for the Dreamcast (Bomberman and Chu Chu Rocket) were extremly lame online.
I am courious how the X-Box DOA is going to work, fighting games are all about timing, and the window for getting a reversal in DOA is very small. When two people swing at each other the time for who hits who or if they both take it is also very small. I cannot imagine that a game like that will be fun online.
Why can't a custom routing program be written that tunnels all packets with a TTL of 1 and spits them out with a TTL of 1 still?
would latency be the only problem? or is there some fundamental reason IP packets can't be read, changed, and fowarded on? I mean don't routers already read and change some fields of the header?
I'm sure that in the city mass has a lot to do with it, but on the highweigh it has to be weight now tha ti think about it. Otherwise SUVs would get respectable gas milage there and they still don't.
Actually, if it is not working as advertised. People baught into it, and are using these LGPL libraries thinking they can build on them with BSD or Proprietary, or dual liscence software and then suddenly, nope ypou were wrong, and everything you have done so far is illegel. That is sneaky, that is not people choosing the liscense they want. That is a total accident, and allowed the containable Viral nature of the GPL (yes there are viruses that are containable, think Smallpox) to be unleashed on all these unsuspecting developers.
If I were one of these people I would be PO'd at both the FSF not doing shit right, and myselfe not getting a friggen lawyer to review things if it was more then a fun project.
I like the sentiment of the GPL, and I really don't even mind if people get all preachy. But I have to question weather or not this has been known for a long time and just now realeased to force apps that have been in development and now released to change liscense. The people at the FSF seem to be at least as hyper about copy-left as Microsoft is about money, and I don't see why it should believed that this has been put off in publisizing to help force their beliefs on people.
It kicks ass. Good News Access, webspace with no transfer limits (if abused reasonable measures will be taken).
Domain hosting.
No automatic billing (web form, pay as you go).
Nation wide Dial-up
My favorite though is Server side SpamAssassin filtering. I have my e-mail unobfuscated on Transgaming, and have signed up with a few companies, still no spam.
There is no Customer service (but great help pages and user supported forums). has a disclaimer saying that it is for the techsavy and will not accept current AOL users.
I currently use them for the occasional times I need dial up, and to host my email with good spam filter, and still don't feel too gyped.
I list of coorinants that a road passes through could not be copyrighted though. The representation on a map is. I derivitive work of a map (as in r-creation) is totaly legit. Of course I could be wrong. That does not mean you can copy someone elses map and sell it.
Your logs are your property, and you can probably hold them unless a contract is signed, but that is contract law, and not copyright (SCO Sucks still). You better have a good lawyer though if you want the contract to stick, it is not an inherent protection. Also there are legal limitations to what a contract can and cannot do, so you may not be ble to get your total immunity. The right to sue is inherent, so they will still be able to sue you or anyone else, though the logs specifically may be exempt as evidence, until they are subpenaed of course.
The real problem with true Capitalism is that people are too cheap, and easy to deceive.
People will not pay full price for a printer on the promise of cheaper ink. That has been tried and failed in the late 90's (cannon I think).
Poor labor practices and quality control are not expensive enough in a totally free market. The economy crash may not have been the result of hands off capitalism, but other things happening in that era were, and it was not good.
Also, doesn't the DMCA allow compatability cracking? I mean how more blatently for compatability can you get, then making ink replacements.
This is closer to Prince changing his name to "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" (sorry, don't think I can type the squiggle.) That of course didn't work, and eventualy he became "The Artist".
Also, Without a massive restructuring I think it would be hard to clame that it was a different game. I find it hard to imagine that all these console exclusives were simply a name change away from being something else, but what do I know.
The Elder Scrolls:Arena was incredibly open ended.
And is ages old.
That is the first of three (Daggerfall, Morrowind)
I have not played the others though, but if Arena ran in Linux or Windows I would play it (DOS only, and I can't get enough free memmory (it needs 618k, ouch). I spent 3 nights trying to get it to work under WIN98 booted in DOS mode and failed to get the free memmory needed.
My problems with the Atari anniversery edition (drem cast)were two fold.
1) the resolution change caused most games to be unplayable (I could not see the lines well enough). I was playing through a TV card on a monitor, so that could have been some of it.
2) The technology was just too old. Only a few of the games were playable at all.
Of course I am a youngun so I had no nastalga for these games.
That said, I have Midway volumes 1 and 2 for the Dreamcast, and they are great. I still play them often, and will quickly snatch this package up even though I have most if not all of these games already. I can't trust my little brother with the dreamcast (he can' quite read yet and deletes memory cards accidentaly), and playing these games with him is usually a lot of fun. Spy Hunter on our NES is the most played game at home.
Some of the games suffer a little from the controler, but a collection like this will have enough that doesn't to be worth the price. Well, assuming it is reasonably priced of course.
Also, some (un)fortunate lag could let you get an extra shot off before you died.
When you shoot it must be instant, so the shots must be handled client side, so you cannot have health server side because when you die that must be instant too.
Of course the server should be able to compare numbers and detect cheating.
For example if my clent registers hit hit hit hit, and your client registers miss miss miss miss, and that becomes a patern, someone is cheating.
If I pay a mall for a mall gift certificate and then go spend it at Electronics Botique is my relationship with the mall the same as mine with Walmart if I walk in there and give them cash?
What if I go to six stores and use my Amex and then pay for everything with a check all at once, is Amex responsible if I baught stolen goods?
In my area if a pawn shop is selling stolen goods that they had plausibe deniability on they are clean. Amazon's involvement is no worse then that.
So perhaps they are not a service provider as you say, and therefore the DMCA does not exempt them automatically, then they still have a fall back defense, but if they get a ruling that they are covered by the DMCA it save them a lot of arguing the finer points.

Strict information like that is non copyrightable.

Lets see. I am going to give ou a bunch backups for stuff I do not own the right s to, is that legel?

With Konquerer and Galeon I get nowhere now, I must be retarded
Go to www.the-underdogs.org they have it. And it is god awful. I think that this will only annoy people.
The problem is when your popup covers another link it becomes awkward.
The DMCA has to do with Amazon trying to be considered a service provider so that they can have immunity.
I think it is very relavent how that distinction is drawn personaly.
