I agree with that. The sadness in that scenario is it will take "radicals" because those are the only ones willing to try something, most people just waddle along. So then they topple the existing system, install themselves, and we repeat the process again 100 years later.
I've met some of the guys that work there at Langley. Sleep on them all you like, they are some of the best. They'd love for you to think they're a bunch of buffoons. Just like they'd love for you to think PFC Manning is the sole reason for this mess.
I for one welcome our stupid shit leaders with their heads in their asses. We're all fucked man, I'm trying of fighting this fight. Just give me my padded room please with my boob tube and genitalia stimulation device. I'm done. Stick a fork in me.
Maybe they'll figure out like the CIA that tracking the wants of every citizen then throwing in things like facial recognition is a good thing, for government.
Or maybe just the leadership forgot how their heads can most certainly end up rolling free from their body given the right "social conditions". Pulling this in France is pretty insane given their history.
As a programmer this gave me a huge smile and a feeling of happiness. So awesome seeing the work of legends in the proper light, shows to the public. Everyday we stand on the shoulders of these giants. If I could go back and say thank you I would. They changed the world.
The example was supposed to show how a brute force effort can be made if a cracker has a set of hashed passwords. Guess it flew over your head because you heard Windows and went into YEAH BUT LINUX mode. It was supposed to show why a salt is so important, which you obviously understand, yet you missed the point of the article.. hrm. Strange.
If a cracker has your auth database with the hashes then they can brute force easily. That was the point.
Amazon's architect's are some of the best in the world. They've basically reinvented data centers going beyond just hot and cold isles to custom racks with custom cooling solutions, etc. Here is a much more in-depth talk from James Hamilton on Amazon's S3/EC2 setup and their focus on adding up all the small improvements: Datacenter Infrastructure Innovation
These are the same folks that basically invented the "cloud" so they could sell the CPU power for their servers that sit idle most of the year and only spool up for Christmas time.
So yeah, they got some serious muscle.
Agreed, I have a "throw away" password I use for accounts I don't care about. I only use this password(s) on sites or apps I don't really care much about. My bank password on the other hand.. yeah good luck guessing that.
Okay you got me, it's asstastic.
Yeah I tend to agree. They seem to be using a very unsophisticated, yet effective, DDoS. Just praise be to Jebus that real botnets have not been pulled off their full time job of swindling the Interweb for a second to crush a company.
Can we please give up the "hacker != cracker" nomenclature ghost? The mainstream calls crackers hackers and that's not going to change. So update your protocol and stop sending responses that get sent to the bit bucket.
Be realistic. If Chrome OS was going to explode in use it already would have. It has it's uses but I don't see a lot of the IT crowd embracing it. They'd rather just install a "real" OS and have complete control. If this OS is pushed it will be from the suit level, at the top, with golf course business deals.
True but what's to care about? Are there any serious revelations in the latest leaks? The Russians are mobsters, the US spies on everyone, China talks out the side of it's neck regarding NK, Arab nations are constantly back stabbing each other in power plays, Saudi Arabia is basically a puppet state for the US intelligence community, etc.
It basically just confirms what everyone suspected - that our leaders really do read The Prince.
Although I agree that MS has the capabilities to create the kinect, my understanding is it was actually created by a company called PrimeSense and sold to MS (after it was offered to Apple *chuckles*).
Can someone clear this up for me? I keep hearing the two differ. Some tell me they're a geek but not a nerd. Some the opposite. So what is what? Where can I find _the_ definition to point all others to?

It can be anything you want it to be. It's a toolkit to build worlds. It's not my thing but it's similar. It's not too far off from minecraft.
But how is this any better than second life? You can do all that in second life. It just has a different style.
And why do you play this again? It sounds like fun if you're idea of fun is debugging.

Doesn't anyone else think this is awfully convenient, this whole mess?

And now we see the true reason that diplomatic info was leaked to the world. Well played sirs. Well played.

Man, thanks for that. I was like wtf cannot parse. Too much time thinking literally here in programming-ville.

One small glitch. The story is complete BS.

I for one welcome our first post rottengenian guards in soviet union they protect YOU. Or something like that.
Once again it is proved - the spice is the worm. The worm is the spice.
Just imagine being the first kid on your block to fly a UAV on Mars, find life, and kill it..
