I was sort of half kidding there. I wasn't saying "this collider is a bomb." I was saying "anti-matter research will lead to anti-matter bombs." I was still half kidding.
Additionally, they recommend the State establishes a centralised technology division to handle all their IT needs reducing redundancy and generating further savings.
Ahh, this would be like the Navy saving money with the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet.... Well, when viewed against that as a model, it's clear that they'll save money.
Moore's law has no influence on password requirements. It's this simple.
1) Whatever you are authenticating to has a sleep time between login attempts. 2) Whatever you are authenticating to can lock out after a prescribed number of failed attempts. 3) Your shadow file is inaccessible to the attacker.
It would seem to me that processing power would have no influence on this equation. There are other variables to constrain, but the basic rules regarding password authentication are unaffected. The only difference is the crypto used to protect the channel used to authenticate over, which obviously has nothing to do with the passwords themselves.
You could think of us as the big, free Internet telephony company. We prefer to think of ourselves as a big group hug, even a present. Yes... that's it... we're a present... but without the ribbon.
I don't mean to be rude, but just how many people clicked that link? This is ComputerWorld here, there are probably a couple hundred readers at any given time. Even if all of them clicked on a link on that site at once, you would expect any reasonably advanced technology to not buckle under the strain.

...again.
Isn't that ALWAYS what they say about these things? Nobody ever says "This is to help us built anti-matter bombs."
That said, sounds exciting, let me go ahead and echo what the other poster said WTF happened to the SSC?

That isn't attacking the password, that is attacking the crypto.

Oh, you'll be able to play your old movies and games, they'll just be a bit bluray.
Hehe, more like, they changed the name of the article... Hope I don't get mega-modded down =(
Conjugate much?
I don't know if this is a new idea, but why not just use Linux as an acronym.
LINUX:
Linix Is Not UniX
Similar to PINE:
Pine Is Not Elm
Ok, here's a nickel. Go take it, and find a lawyer, and ask him if publicly airing your DVDs is legal.
Yes.
Yes, it's illegal, and the article states that it's illegal.

Buy a tape drive.
If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, but a tape changer, so you don't have to change the tapes.

Joy.
It would be much more effective to watermark the disks so they could trace who it leaked from.
Skip to step 2 in that case ;-)
While I'm *cough* sure that this site has good intentions, the best thing to do if you lose your password is
1) Get the admin to change it for you.
or, if you've lost the root password
2) Boot through some external method (generally from CD or network) and change your password that way.
Admins should keep the shadow file safe from malicious access, but this is giving it to a 3rd party... bad juju.
Not to be rude, but who chose the name UML for User Mode Linux?
Do they have a diagram or something I can look at? I want to really understand what User Mode Linux "is".
Ok... what was the joke? That he made a copy? The he downloaded it? I completely missed it!
