That doesn't matter. It's the hashing algorithm that the grandparent is talking about. Make sure it's MD5 or SHA1, and not DES. DES will ignore everything after the 8th character, regardless of LDAP/PAM/shadow.
Oh, and now I can share my I-think-I-am-going-to-stab-you stupidity story. I work for the "A-triple-C" (Academic Computing and Communications Center). Some guy comes in and needs his password reset. Fine. I tell him he needs to visit passwords.accc.uic.edu to pick a permanent password. His reply? "How do you spell ACCC?" It's bad because he spelled out A-C-C-C himself! I think I was so shocked by the stupidity that I just answered the question and locked myself in my office...
Ah, and then there's the no food and drink policy in the computer labs. People always have great reasons on why they can have a drink in the lab ("I'm God! No really!"). Anyway, I come up to this woman and ask her to put her Diet Pepsi away. Why can't she do that? She's diabetic and needs sugar-water or soda for her diabetes. I kind of gave her a weird look and said "but doesn't that not have sugar in it?" She gave me the "damn. you're not that dumb" look and then left when I asked for ID. She wasn't even affiliated with the University.
Sony is a great company. Everyday, they give me a new reason to not buy anything they manufacture!
(The other reason is that EVERYTHING I or my friends have bought from Sony has broken within a year of it going out of warranty. And the one thing that broke in warranty? They told us to "buy a new one, they're not that expensive". Fuck you, Sony.)
This is why the EU won't let Turkey join. If you want to be taken seriously in the international community, you can't do things like this.
We complain about our loss of freedom in the US, but I don't think something like this would happen here. We are slightly freer than Europe and Turkey.
I don't think the OOo + mplayer is a bad idea at all. As long as everyone gets what you're talking about I would say the presentation was a success. If you want the audience to be wowed with FX, try Keynote on a mac:)
BTW, I know of people who give presentations with xdvik and lots of desktops. It works well enough.
Moral of the story? Don't get caught. If you get caught DoSing something, you deserve what you get.
(How to do it right? Walk into a computer lab, sit down at a terminal where someone left themselves logged in, hack away, leave, don't tell anyone. Trace that!)
The point is that it's not lame. I have 4.something gigs of MP3s, so 20G, 40G, and 1337G are all the same to me. Size doesn't matter (that much):). As for Wireless, I think the battery life issue makes that infeasible. But Apple could have something up their sleeves; think AirTunes.
I would think Apache would know how to do something as a user instead of "www" or whatever it runs at. Otherwise a nice perl script in my homedir could wipe out everything owned as "www" (like the main webpage). I am a non-expert about about Apache, though, so I could wrong. (Likely you can't run cgi scripts unless they're owned as www.)
Hmm, I would just fake logs then. If they say I'm faking it, I will say that I'm testing my new software. If that's illegal, I'm damn happy to not live in the UK.
Regarding quota, can you not set up the server to save files in the user's homedir (like in public_html or something)? Then the quota will be managed by the underlying OS (and should be trivial to set up).
You do not get it. Sic is something an author inserts into a quote when the quote is incorrect in some way. Here, the author says "s.i.c" instead of "sic". This is the error. This error has nothing to do with the grammar error in the wallpaper.
Here's what's happening:
Wallpaper: Your computer is broked.
Author: The wallpaper says, "Your computer is broked." [s.i.c.]
The author should have written: "Your computer is broked [sic]"
I use a Documents folder for my docs (since GNOME and OS X both like to save things there). I have subdirs like "resume" and "school". school is organized by semester and class. Sometimes I put each assignment in a separate directory if it's (for example) a LaTeX document with lots of postscript graphics or datasets or such.
I then use a ~/projects folder for ongoing projects.
I have a ~/src folder for things like the kernel source.
I usually use my homedir as temporary storage, but now I'll use ~/tmp and I should be able to keep it clean!
LEDs explode when you plug them into the wall. Part of that $70 is circuitry to convert the voltage to something usable by the LED. Also, just one LED won't provide enough light to light a room. The inside of your computer? Yes, but a room, no. They have to use an array of expensive LEDs to get enough light to be useful, so that's why it's $70.
Anyway, it's just a RPN calculator. 2 2 + adds two and two and pushes four. p displays whatever's on top of the stack. [number] i sets the input radix, [number] o sets the output radix (remember that base 16 is "10" in base 16:)

One time it's hyphenated, another it's not. Bad link.

I am going to lie awake tonight now

Probably some braindead analysis like:

$ lsof "internet explorer"
$ lsof "spyware"
THE SPYWARE IS ACCESSING IE's FILES!!! Or not. I would like to see an article...

Not when you put sticky stickers on them :)
I thought the same thing, and I'm an American. I have to say it's a pretty funny image, though...

Dude. iPods are like $300 each! Quit-yer-bitchin' and sell 'em on eBay :)
LEDs can't act as rectifiers. They ARE diodes, but if you put too much of a voltage across it the wrong way, you'll blow it up.
The point is that it's not lame. I have 4.something gigs of MP3s, so 20G, 40G, and 1337G are all the same to me. Size doesn't matter (that much) :). As for Wireless, I think the battery life issue makes that infeasible. But Apple could have something up their sleeves; think AirTunes.

Done.

See the difference and where the mistake is?
I love the tmp directory idea.
I use a Documents folder for my docs (since GNOME and OS X both like to save things there). I have subdirs like "resume" and "school". school is organized by semester and class. Sometimes I put each assignment in a separate directory if it's (for example) a LaTeX document with lots of postscript graphics or datasets or such.

This is completely wrong. The PSI of the tire has nothing to do with how much weight is being put on the road.
They do the same fucking thing. Play MP3s.
You would be surprised. Let's expand upon your program a bit.
/etc/passwd

/etc/passwd, unknown to the passwd program.)
(pseudocode)
program "evil":
main(){
close STDERR;
exec passwd;
}
program "passwd" running setuid
main(){
open >
print STDERR "Password: "
}
Oops. The password file just got deleted. Security is hard
(The reason? File descriptor STDERR is usually #2. However, fd #2 is closed and replaced with
Fucking slashdot. :)

That should help you. man dc for more details.
Use dc. It's included with OSX and is a great calculator.
> 2 2+p
16 i 10 o 3 * p
> C
I think you mean 2.0 + 2.0, because 2+2 is never going to be floating point. Two completely different operations as far as the computer is concerned.
