  1. Nothing new on Swiss Researchers Exploit Windows Password Flaw · · Score: 5, Informative

    "We fear, however, that the titles of these articles are a little sensational. While it is true that the LANMAN and NTHash windows password techniques have issues, the paper that kicked off this whole hub-bub [PDF] describes a refinement of an existing attack, not a new attack. We wanted to remind our readers that adequate password security is a good idea, whether your windows systems are being attacked with an adversary with an old copy of L0phtCrack, or with Philippe Oechslin's new system."

  2. windows env on J2EE vs. .NET in Productivity Comparison? · · Score: 1

    I have using both. The difference is not big. The only reason why i would choose .Net is that i am using MS only. You know that your not gonna move to solaris or mysql or anything else. I know its working but .net on windows is better that java on windows. So if you arent sure if you gonna use windows/exchange and so on - stay with java.

    "I don't think the maturity of Bluetooth technology is good enough to ship the bits when Windows XP is released," said Carl Stork, general manager of Microsoft's Windows division, speaking in an interview at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) here. "We wouldn't want to ship something that doesn't work, and Bluetooth doesn't yet meet a certain quality level." Yeah right, that WAS funny!!!! HAHAHA
