  1. Re:You know... on Hacked Syrian Officials Used '12345' As Email Password · · Score: 1

    Saw this on a site a while ago. You first chose a base password, then to generate a unique password for every site the base password was hashed with the site name. Hence you got a suitably complex password for every site but without having to remember them all.

    Getting a license for something that can kill an elephant in aus, you make me laugh.

    It still mostly works, it's only the hold position feature that stops working.

    Not exactly the same (it uses time dilation for the age differences) but quite a similar concept is explored in Joe Haldeman's "The Forever War"

  11. Re:4.5 kg isn't so much on Do Two-Screen Laptops Make Sense? · · Score: 1

    Aside from the noise what would be nice for this kind of desktop replacement is a 1 or 2u server with a rackmount lcd/keyboard in softcarry bag like you can get for rackmount dj gear. I mean you now need power but really the battery on most desktop replacements is more like a small ups then for one the go use.

    I wouldn't go so far to say only ex-military, more like anyone who has done a decent amount of hiking, its quite incredible the amount you can carry once you start using a real pack.

  13. Re:Even with a beefy router... on Build Your Own Time Capsule Work-Alike For $200 · · Score: 1

    one of the more useful mods ive done to my pc was attaching one of those car universal adaptors thingies to the 12 volt line i.e. 12 in one side 12 to 3.3v out the other with a selection of interchangable tips

  14. Re:Lack of polish on Build Your Own Time Capsule Work-Alike For $200 · · Score: 1

    This. Its why time capsule holds so much appeal, its the very user friend gui. Sure i and probably a decent proportion could put together something that does the same function as a time capsule for the bits in our parts box's, couple hundred meg of dled software and the price of the hdd's. But it sure as hell wouldn't be any where close to as user friendly as a time capsule.

    "Can someone make a fucking goatse blocker firefox plugin please? This is pissing me off now."

    I have no idea how difficult plugins are to program are, but how hard would it be to code a plugin that is you click on a shortened url, compares the images on the next page to a folder of shock images and give you a warning page with the similarity to a shick image displayed?

  19. Re:What about the hard drives? on A Closer Look At Immersion Cooling For the Data Center · · Score: 1

    A waterblock "plate" that sits flat over the mobo touching the heat generating componets, with groved water channels so the water goes in a loop (cpu first etc), with a water in and out that is connected to the rack, would do the job quite nicely i'd imagine.
