There are twelve known physical types of ice. Look at the phase diagram carefully. Even at 10,000 gigapascals there are forms of ice. Most of these types are denser than water. What we typically think of as "water ice" is specifically called Ice-1 (there are two subtypes, cubic and hexagonal). Ice-2 through Ice-10 are all denser than water, with Ice-10 being 2.5 times as dense. That's some heavy ice. Ice-11 is less dense than water, but Ice-12 is again denser.
Damn it, this is a Futurama thread, not a Firefly thread! You guys ruined the last Futurama thread with all the Firefly discussion. Hey, I've never seen Firefly, I'm not inclined to see Firefly, I may even like Firefly, but for now, I can't get enough Futurama! (Pun intended...)
As for Comedy Central running Futurama reruns starting in 2008, who cares? I've seen all the episodes and have all the DVDs. Unless there are new ones to enjoy, why bother?
Well, since ITAR is no more, why would @stake do this? Marketing, of course! "Our product is so good, we can't sell it to just anyone!" Balderdash... Anyone in the biz knows that LC is obsolete anyway. Don't believe me? Google "Rainbow Tables" and see for yourself...
If you just have to have an automated tool for hash cracking, skip LC and do SamInside. Same functionality, cheap, no copy protection, and integrates with Rainbow Tables as well. Hey Mudge! Still think selling out was a good idea?
Abortion isn't necessarily "legal" but it's not "illegal" either.
JULES Well, abortion is legal there, right?
VINCENT Yeah, it's legal, but is ain't a hundred percent legal. I mean you can't walk into a restaurant, roll an abortion, and start puffin' away. You're only supposed to abort in your home or certain designated places.
JULES Those are abortion bars?
VINCENT Yeah, it breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it and, if you're the proprietor of a abortion bar, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, which doesn't really matter 'cause -- get a load of this -- if the cops stop you, it's illegal for this to search you. Searching you is a right that the cops in Amsterdam don't have...

If you're in the states, you'd better move there too. Otherwise, the NSA might just be monitoring all your communications with your host. King George himself authorized it.
I call shenanigans. Have you read "The Puzzle Palace"? They have been doing this for decades. Ole George had nothing to do with it (apart from allowing it to happen, just like the last 10 presidents...).
I guarantee that you're more likely to get sick from licking an ass crack or toilet seat than you are from kissing a person on the cheek.
While I have a tendency to agree with you, I have to consider how recently the subject showered versus how recently they, ah, made themselves unclean. Assuming you did not defecate since your last shower, I could see your crack being cleaner than your face (fecal bacteria included), as your crack is nicely bundled up while your face is out in the open. Upon dropping the kids off at the pool, however, I'd bet the reverse would then be true. No matter, I don't plan licking any cracks anytime soon...
The whole purpose of the -database- is to make it easier for everyone to access data.
No, the purpose of the database is to make it possible for authorized users to access data.
The app of course can do whatever it wants when it comes to security.
Which is why the app server is a target. You didn't eliminate your security problem, you just moved it. You moved it to a host that is exposed to the entire world (for Internet apps). Hope you did your homework.
Oh, but wait, you don't care, you're a database guy! The app server is someone else's problem! NOW I understand your approach! Way to go! I bet you're management material!
Act! does this and it pisses me off. It's a special instance of the MS SQL Desktop Engine (you should already be worried) with a SE password known only to the app. There's a tool that you can use to reset it (probably where I'd start if I wanted to capture it), but you can't ever get it to reval it.
Write a PERL script that listens for connections and fakes the authentication routine. Point your app at the host running the script. Have the script record the authentication credentials the app uses. Have the script respond to the app with a "failed login" equivilent. Bingo, got your SA password... (Post it to Slashdot when your done, please...)
I can't tell you how many times I've seen apps all using the same credentials to log into the database... The ID and password are hardcoded into the app, and it's the same for all the vendor's customers. And no, these aren't little one-off apps for small businesses, these are enterprise apps. I've also taken advantage of this fact for pen testing....
Look, you stand way more of a chance of getting a disease from sitting on a public toilet than you do from a highly scrutinized tissue transplant.
Well, if you believe Penn and Teller (on their Showtime show "B---sh--!"), you're wrong. They actually took microbe samples from people's faces, butt cracks, and toilet seats to see which was the "dirtiest". Turns out butt cracks and toilet seats were cleaner than people's faces!
I love that show. It's like Mythbusters for atheist libertarians...
Cult-of-personality reference. Jim Jones gets followers to drink poison kool-aid as he kills himself and all his followers...in the 80's(?)
While an excellent overview, I use the reference in a more generic fashion... to refer to one who ignores their own moral sense and agrees to further the goals of another, most often at their own peril. Useless Factoid: Jim Jones used Flav-r-aide, not Kool-aid. Grape, I believe...

Um, dude, when did you ever have a piece of decent audio equipment? (Don't lie to me, I was there!) :)
They can't stop drugs, poverty, crime or terrorists, what makes you think they can stop black market DVD players?
Um, so poverty is a crime now? Or were you implying that it's the government's job to make sure people aren't poor?

Just stay away from me with that Ice 9, alright?
Thanks for the link!

So who else read the headline and thought it was a story about running Windows apps on your MacIntel?
>> Intel's chips will use that extra sillicon for a nice pair of fake breasts.
>I think you misspelled "chicks".
Yeah, well at least he didn't misspell the name of the chip in question in the headline of the story...
"Between them, they process billions of emails per day and are overseen by hundreds of administrators."
And how does the NSA process all that email? Now THAT would be an interesting technical challenge!
NOTE1: Between each test run, a 'sync' and 10 second sleep were performed.
D'oh!
But what's the sleep in aid of? It'll achieve precisely nothing --- the sync will block until all I/O is complete.
Maybe it's to flush from the internal drive cache to the platters? Just because the OS says the data is flushed doesn't mean the data is flushed...

I can appreciate the beauty of a snowbank in -40 degrees celsius weather.
Why the distinction?
Gawd, I literally hate it when people misuse the word "literally"...

In communism, man exploits man. In capitalism, it's the other way around...
Even then those ports are monitored for the correct kind of data.
So, just encapsulate. Stir in some encryption goodness, and nobody is the wiser...
