250 pages of what people think of the IRS and tax system, all not marked offtopic, and not one person actually found the "create an account" page on their crappily-made website. Anyone know where it is? I'm at a loss.
But then you have a support your alterations in every future update, all of which could break them. It's easier to pay the original group to add the feature you need to the main release.
Newer companies are more likely to have newer IT infrastructures and newer security. If they have a less secure setup than an established mega-corporation, it's because someone massively messed up and had their priorities wrong or they chose a crap vendor or two after buying into their marketing fluff about how secure they are. I suppose they also could have gone with whoever was cheapest for antivirus, firewall, monitoring, etc and that's an equally dumb mistakes. The good news is, startups that keep making stupid mistakes are going bankrupt anyway. The smart ones shouldn't get hacked because they're smart enough to prevent it and they will succeed anyway. So this is a less of a problem than you might think.
Wait......are you saying that we don't have the technology to measure all mass in the visible universe? Oh and the non-observable universe too, which makes perfect sense logically.
I think it doesn't interact with itself because it DOESN'T EXIST. It's a math error based on the arrogance that we can estimate all the mass in the entire universe.
This guy's personality and attitude is exactly the type of IT worker that works in a school IT department. He's an angry, combative jackass who can't get along with society in general.
No, it gives you about 5 bits. That's because 1 letter vs 1 word is practically the same thing as far as checking difficulty and generation difficulty and programs can treat whole words as 1 item while brute forcing. To try every word in English with every variation in case sizing takes less than a second. Checking every combination of 2 words in English is harder but still under a second. Once you get to three words, it's probably between a few seconds and a few minutes but the list to check is still pathetically short compared to if they were random letters.
A monkey could configure a 10TB array right now and power isn't exactly a problem. Putting it in a single drive is neat but the #1 problem with SSDs right now is price. The prices are horribly inconsistent day to day. They can make a 2Tb or 10Tb or 10000TB drive for all I care but what I need for my many, many custom builds at my shop is a low cost 240-256GB SSD.
Once in a while I can get a $90 silicon power S60 240GB SSD. Crucial's MX and BX series hit that low once in a while. All others are perpetually above $100 which is too expensive for a Facebook wonder do-nothing PC with a pentium 4th edition and 4GB of RAM. Some people do reasonably go past 120GB too so I do typically want to use 240GB drives. I blame smartphones' cameras and itunes' automatic backup of ipads and other devices.
Yes, use 100% dictionary words. That's a great idea. The idea of a passphrase is to make it so many letters, brute forcing won't work. But dictionary attacks don't have to be individual words. They can easily be combinations of all known dictionary words without having a ridiculous result set to try compared to random letters. So what you need to do is come up with multiple words that you can remember then put a number or two between them. DO NOT replace e with 3 or a with @ or S with $, as those are known and common attack possibilities too. So if you choose "chickenisdelicious7nomnomnom" nobody will ever, ever, ever figure that out. If you choose "chickensandwichwaffles" it could get reverse via dictionary phrase attack in under a second.
I have an idea. Fire that arrogant asshole producer instead. Who needs him? Jeremy Clarkson IS the show. How did the Chappelle Show do after Dave left? It was a catastrophe.
In case you're not familiar, let me give you the breakdown. The worst educated, fat, smoking, abrasive personality, asshole nurses work at kidney dialysis places. That's simply where the worst possible employees end up from that career field. The worst IT workers end up at schools. It's low pay and higher demand than corporate environments, the budget is a joke, and they're perpetually understaffed. So you get some clueless moron who can't hold down a real job working as the IT administrator at any given school.
The US government needs to immediately make it illegal to pay these types of ransoms. You have no idea what group is collecting the money or what they're going to do with it so just simply make it illegal. That will stop most of these ransoms from happening.
You're right! We should immediately throw out this one and only accurate and proven statistic and proceed with 100% blind, random searches. That will improve our odds are spotting a terrorists mathematically.

Um, which demographic plays Dance Dance Revolution again? Slight oversight there. That's why I'm still so skinny.
Most terrorists are middle eastern. Unfortunately that goes over about as well as saying men are taller than women. It may be true, but you're not allowed to say it. I suggest they switch to the much, much cheaper system of "if they're brown, pat them down" but nooo, they have to make up some overly-complicated, fake science framework to hide behind.
Matter can't travel faster than light because of gravity. Space contains no matter. In fact, it's not "moving" either because it isn't a thing and existing space isn't being relocated. The properties of nothingness are changing to become space at a speed faster than the maximum speed at which matter can travel through it. That actually makes perfect sense because it prevents matter from ever flying out of the universe or hitting the edge of space. I don't know why they're presenting this like it's some amazing new development. It's extremely simple logic.
You need an IQ well above 100 to code well. 100 is average. That means don't teach coding to everyone. All they're doing is making people think they're good enough to get a really high paying job and then if they somehow succeed, you get awful programs as the result.

Yeah, that's what we need. A disincentive to spend and encouragement to purchase things overseas with a tax based on what you buy.

I'm not up on my flamethrower laws but is this legal in any of the 50 US states?

Booth Bros! Time for shirtless male body builders in front of every booth.
Indeed, once something is made illegal, no one ever does it again!
...while the media is focused on them

They "look like" it says they're from a middle eastern country on their passport. That's what you look for.

Don't tell people where you live. There's no way to get someone's precise address without a court order based solely on their IP address.
So in other words, you'll be pocket dialing EVERYONE because now you don't have the lock screen to protect you.

I can see that they're just scared about superior humans even without low light infrared vision, which I want.
