- this is another problem in itself, there shouldn't be a need to decrypt PIN if a correct hash function is used, compare the hash instead, this way PINs don't need to be unencrypted anywhere.

This shows that some banking systems are outdated when it comes to security. Another problem that is identified is that there are too many ways for thieves to access and install unauthorized software on these systems.
The PIN keyspace is so small (10000 possibility) that hashing it or doing nothing is nearly the same. You can hash all the 10000 possibility and then do a reverse lookup.
- it is not clear what exactly types of systems are mentioned here? If it's the mainframe, where unencoded PINs are compared, then what anti-virus is he talking about? So it's not mainframes, then what, the HMS? Why should a virus be able to cross from a machine that can be affected by a virus to such a device?
Does anyone here know whether these so called 'HMS' machines are in actuality windows 95 boxes connected to the web or something?
Seriously though, the banks need to retrofit.
Also it seems that holding money in a bank is becoming quite troublesome.
Why recreate their function if you actually run their 'genuine' function? Actually for my unit testing, I use Firefox with the MozRepl plugin that let me do all sort of things on the page, like reading the html content, simulating a click on a link or a button, and so on...
copyright is a fucking joke by it's length of 95 years after the death of the author.
1) Tell me how a dead artist is compelled to create new content after his death by this income.
2) The copyright are generaly owned by corporation that can't be dead because they are already living dead soul suckers...
If they decide to go back a little back on the length of the copyright and who can own a copyright, well then will I see it as an useful tool again.

In some way dog breeding and embryo screening are the same. The embryo screening being just faster at removing what we consider bad things/bad genes. But what is now considered a bad things could be the thing that will save your live or the live of your descendant later...
I have programmed a little soft on it (a Go board generating SGF files of the games I played in my club) and the API was so stupid/complex/borked that it has taken me 10 time the time I have used to program it on a Pocket PC:(.
I think the GP idea was that the seatbelt was of very poor quality, riveted to the car frame with rivet made of compressed paper or made from craft paper.
Now that these scientists resolved the question of adaptability of the human psyche. Some must work on preserving the brain functionality over time and some other must work to develop the perfect cyborg container for it !!!!
They have already started to release lower quality patches. I get problems that I didn't have before Vista like the inability to properly shutdown my computer because he refuse to shutdown at all (the window open with the 3 choices, I click the shutdown option, the windows disapear but nothing is done). Now when I boot linux, I have to force the opening of my ntfs partitions because they are not properly shut down:(
In Belgium, most of the ADSL providers caps to 20GB/month for their best offer. Some caps are as low as 100MB/month... Now some of cable operator have offer with Unlimited* download (but I have never get the time to read the fine print)
I use dojo to do a quick prototype of an application. You can start pretty quickly and do some pretty things. But I am blocked by the absence of an official widget to upload files and the fact that the standard input for file upload doesn't work with dojo. None of the sample code I found on the internet to do this seems to work well:(
But except that big problem and some other minor ones, Dojo look very good.
When an game is sold $60, it is sold here in Europe for 60 Euro. You do the change back and tada: $100. Now "Hundreds of dollard of games" start with only 1:(
There is a method in cryptography hat is called packaging. The encryption key is stored within the file but you must have the complete file to get the key from it. Now you can send your last blue ray film. If they store it completely for uncrypting it they have a lot of money to drop by the windows:D
No you don't have to open it because sometimes you can't open it (ex: it's not you who put the lock). The warrant grant them the right to break it themself if needed.
If the release you use is good and no bug show up, why 'upgrade' it every week.
For example I have 'just' (in February) upgraded GIMP from 2.2.13 (2006-08-24) to 2.4.5 (2008-02-29) for the Python scripting module and to be on the same version level with my Ubuntu box.
I have countless of other open source frequently 'upgraded' that last for ages on my computers as is without the constant urge to 'upgrade'.
The only machine that upgrade continuously is my Ubuntu box and I don't do anything for it and doesn't take me any time that just accepting the proposed updates like windows updates does.
Actually I don't have a 56k modem, but my bandwidth cost me; I am capped to 20GB/month. Consumed over 2 weeks. Then 5 Euro for 5 GB over that. In an old age I have done my part of 50MB over a 56k, fortunatly I was not in an hurry at this time:D

Actually AMD is just behind Intel for the bang for the buck course since 1 year. I hope they wiil get back as I am a big fan of AMD chips.
They are beta. They are not for general consumption. If you have actually taken care to read the changelogs you will have see it.
Console browser can be standard compliant (HTML, perhaps ECMAScript). Just not CSS compliant. Acid3 test HTML, ECMASCript and CSS as the standards.
Yes, but the footprint will not be anymore associated to spam but to an other activity probably more productive like reading Slashdot :D

These HMS are for the most part Win-NT machines

In the same kind. I use Firefox with MozRepl to do my unit testing.

I will say good ridance too.
I have programmed a little soft on it (a Go board generating SGF files of the games I played in my club) and the API was so stupid/complex/borked that it has taken me 10 time the time I have used to program it on a Pocket PC :(.
For tax reason it must be kept for 10 years. I my memory serve well IRS can go to 10 years old declaration and ask for proofs.
I think the GP idea was that the seatbelt was of very poor quality, riveted to the car frame with rivet made of compressed paper or made from craft paper.
It take 1 or 3 days because they make interests on your money during this time.
Now that these scientists resolved the question of adaptability of the human psyche. Some must work on preserving the brain functionality over time and some other must work to develop the perfect cyborg container for it !!!!
Finally i will be Immortal !
