Salting your hashes only protects you from rainbow tables (and then only if your hash isn't already in a rainbow table). The salt is included in the hash, so I can see if your password is a weak password like "password" or "PASSWORD" or... exactly what Gawker warned against.
I shop at Whole Foods Market. They refuse to sell any products that contain high fructose corn syrup
Except that in this case, they sold you a twinkie, then broke into your house and took it back in order to protect their image as a company that refuses to sell products that contain HFCS.
Sure, if you can honestly believe that you can meaningfully publish an anti-book to cancel out the existing book and result in nothing but a lot of heat and sound, then you can consider this act to be "editing or revising a piece of writing; preparation for publication" of an anti-book.
For everyone else who expects something to exist after preparing it for publication, deleting an entire work isn't "redaction". Deleting it retroactively, doubly so.
The option should be somewhere easy to find. After upgrading from Office XP to Office 2010 I had to resort to google to figure out how to get the insert key to work again.
Have you had the problem anywhere other than slashdot?
Anyway, some guy figured out that you can fix pasting in slashdot by adding a div to the end of it. Just create a bookmark on the bookmark bar for javascript:document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('div')); and click it whenever you open a slashdot story.
The bug report has a workaround: create a bookmark for javascript:document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('div')); and click it whenever you want to paste into slashdot. No idea why adding an empty div to the end of the page makes it work, it probably forces chrome to re-parse slashdot's flaming pile of broken html to something that will actually work in the browser.
Medical records were a "non-issue" too, but then we passed a law saying that doctors can't just pass the photos of my surgery around their friends to have a good laugh.
If we don't like this, we can certainly press for the same level of legal protection for credit card records.
Domestically, you can carry as much cash around as you want anyways. No reporting requirement, not illegal.
Civil forfeiture, look it up some time. Sure, you can do the spastic pedant dance and yap about how it's not "illegal", but when the cops can just seize your money and hold it for you forever, it's functionally illegal to carry large amounts of money around.
Yes, there are a some ads (which ones vary from user to user) which promote products or services that a user was not previously aware of and in which the user is interested and which are, in fact, ads the user wants to see.
If I were really designing a modular MFP, all of the modules would be powered off an internal bus rather than each having their own power cord.
If I were really designing a printer with a wireless router hacked into it, I'd spend the extra 30 minutes attaching the router power to the printer's internal power supply rather than having two power cords, since I'm likely elbow deep in the printer guts to reroute the ethernet cable in the first place.
It's hard to say, since we're not getting to see what rules the FCC are actually voting on (or are they literally voting on "whether to adopt rules", and the rules come later?) so for all we know the FCC is calling their rule that "banana splits are to be served after every lunch" net neutrality.
Salts protect against rainbow tables, not brute forcing. The salt is stored in plaintext with the crypted value (eg $type$salt$hash for the Modular Crypt Format) "Good" hashes are just those where someone hasn't yet figured out a way to calculate that "X#4!./,V3zm" has the same hash that "password" does, and ideally that take a relatively long time to calculate in order to slow down brute force attacks where someone throws a dictionary at the hash and sees if any matches pop out.
Protection against brute forcing is a password that isn't in any dictionary attack database, or a l33t variant thereof.
My first thought was "Oh look, someone learning that the patent system only works for the Big Boys". If he thinks his riches aren't coming fast enough now, just wait until the market is flooded with cheap Chinese-made ripoffs.
That said, it looks like a fairly good idea if it's made with the right materials (hard plastic+"rubberized" coating to protect shins). Shame I didn't think of it first.
No, he says he wants to use "a canvas to paint custom objects". No word at all if these "objects" are even supposed to be interactive. Maybe he just wants to draw a flowchart using squares, ovals, diamonds, and arrows. Or maybe he wants to make a slide show. Who knows?
What distros need to do is have periodic "releases" of the core build and libraries, with applications built on top released as they build. Then things like KDE and glibc remain stable, while we get to use the latest firefox or openoffice once they're tested to work in the core environment.

So when you go to your doctor or shrink can they say hey its been ten year I can blab about so and so's mental problems
If you signed a contract saying after 10 years the doctor can blab all he wants, sure.

No oxygen, no problems?
I think you just solved both the fire and the user problems! Two birds with one stone!
meaning the surge in traffic can only be coming from collateral damage infected hosts
Viruses typically don't browse security sites. People trying to remove viruses, however, typically do.

Everyone, duh. They'll need the obscenity prosecutions to meet whatever quota they couldn't get out of the pedos.

The reason is that the PDF support is actually Foxit reader being distributed as a plugin.
Because pasting into a completely empty box works. Try typing <a href=" and pasting a link.
If it works for you it's because it's fixed in Chrome 9 now.

except the new guy, who goes out of business
And the banks and venture capitalists that fronted the money for this fool's errand.
If rates are raised again, someone else will try it
Good luck getting the banks and venture capitalists to front the money for the fool's errand the second time around.
This is a non-issue.

Of course, separate from that is when the cops actually charge your money with a crime, in which case it's "illegal money" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_v._$124,700
Streaming. Uploading those videos you just took to youtube. Plenty of realistic ways to clobber your cap, without trying to find a 6GB file.
and was flipping everyone off?
Are we only going to here that nice pair of jokes
You could say this thread is a bust.
Not only that, but sometimes ads are pretty cool.
