But the attacker doesn't know the first 9 characters are one word, nor do they know what follows after that. Brute force cracking (even with a dictionary) isn't like cracking a combination lock, they don't get a tumbler-fall to tell them they got the first word right. Even if your password is AnAbleAardvark, the machine has to go through the whole dictionary n^2 plus a few more times until it gets to aardvark. And that assumes everyone knows you are using a passphrase from an english dictionary.
But the people doing the brute forcing don't know when they have gotten a password partially right. Pinkbananapancacke is going to have to go through the entire dictionary ^ 3 times to crack the password. And that assumes they KNOW the user has strung together three english words.
The "nice" thing about alcohol is that as you start to overdose, it makes you pass out. Stimulants don't have that built in governor, so you can take a lot more than you should. Hell, just to get high off of stimulants you have take more than you should, because the high is a side effect of the actual stimulant effect. It's like shooting yourself in the foot because you like the smell of gunpowder.
Not at all. I drive a lot, have a clean record and haven't hit anyone yet. (Jinxing myself now, I am sure...) But that's because I know my limitations and avoid situations with higher risk, which includes avoiding texting and calling when the situation is not appropriate. But there are lots of times on the road where it is perfectly possible to text with no added risk. The problem drivers will ignore the law and continue to cause trouble, and the net effect will be that the law does nothing but inconvenience people.
Drivers are already responsible for not getting distracted, by law. So another law telling them not to get distracted by a specific thing isn't going to do jack squat.
Food for thought: many of the laws exempt police officers from the law. If it is in fact more or less equally dangerous for everyone, why are police exempted? The only conclusion is that we don't care if police officers are getting distracted, or maybe, just maybe, not everyone really is prone to distraction by using a cellphone.
That's ridiculous, because it is the driver's responsibility to stop listening and tell them to shut up if necessary, no matter where the conversation partner is physically located. It isn't about fighting the battles we can win, it is that banning shit is the wrong war to be fighting. Spend the money enforcing and reinforcing the already existing laws that require drivers to pay the fuck attention. And leave those of us who know how to drive alone.
It makes no less sense than "everything is in some way dangerous, some people are not good at avoiding dangerous things, so let's outlaw everything just in case." If a driver needs a separate law to tell them to not be distracted while driving, they should never have gotten their license, because driving while distracted is already illegal and irresponsible.
I think the effect here is that the below average drivers know that THEY are distracted by their cell phones, and, believing they are above average, assume that everyone must be just as distracted or worse. When the reality is that there is a huge variability among different drivers (and at different times) with regards to how distracted they will be. By any shiny object. The lesson isn't to start outlawing everything, but to remind people not to get distracted by anything.
Nobody thinks that changing the clocks actually creates more daylight, except DST deniers and skeptics. All DST does is move the clocks so we have more daylight when we can use it.
Failure. The point of relativity is to understand that the time of observation is not necessarily the time of occurrence. It is precisely the opposite: understanding that just because you see something now, it doesn't mean that it is happening now.
It wasn't the planes, it was the fire ignited by the 200,000 gallons of fuel they carried + all the stuff in the building + the structural damage caused by the holes in the buildings.
They didn't fall because of the airliners, they fell because of the fire that weakened the remaining steel supports enough that the tops couldn't be held up any longer. Evidenced by the fact that the one where the plane crashed lower fell first.
It is way easier to change the clocks, especially now, than it is to try and remember the changing times for every organization we deal with each year. It would be insanity.
I agree, that must suck balls. I live in Chicago, pretty much as far east in the Central time zone as there is, and remember fondly a vacation in Louisville. It was light out until after 10pm. Delightful.
Stock buybacks usually work best when the business is solid, but for some reason, the stock price is down. Company buys up stock, raises the price for the shareholders, and then the price rises to the top again and they sell it off generating more cash.
Anyway, yes, they might have to repatriate the money and pay that tax, but I don't think they have to pay another tax to pay out the dividend. In fact, I'm pretty sure dividend payouts are deductible to the company.
You joke, but I think Apple's skills at stupid-ifying their products would combine well with investing in some kind of green technology. Buy up, or build up, some kind of solar+wind+geothermal company and use their UI skills to build and sell turnkey products.

My bad. Thought you were on a bicycle.

Why were you passing someone on the left when they were trying to turn? Either they were in the wrong lane, or you were.

I'm not up on my conspiracies... what was in WTC7 that needed such a spectacular destruction?
Hey, I took the OK Cupid test 100 times until I got an IQ of 298, so suck it, mortal.

Gravity is a thing, and buildings are heavy. Want to make a scale representation? Build a 20 foot tower with spaghetti.

When you point to a carnival barker and his magician sidekick as your source for reason, you should just give up and vote Republican.
When the blanket's size grows and shrinks throughout the year, and the middle is attached to the side of the bed, it makes perfect sense.
Or have to pay for electricity.

That is sort of what the Senate was supposed to be.
