a very common attack is where the attacker gets hold of the hashed passwords one way or another.
A system shouldn't make this easily avaiolable. The password file really should be hard to get. Besides giving you the hashed passwords, it also gives you a list of valid user names. Having to guess both the user names and the passwords makes breaking into a system much harder.
Changing your password won't really help you with brute force password attacks.
1. The attack happens over a short period of time, and unless you have a very short change cycle, it won't help during an attack. 2. Changing your password between attacks just gives them a second change. If they couldn't guess your first password, maybe they can guess your new one. 3. This also depends on whatever brute force protection is built into your system. 4. If you have an over-the-shoulder spy problem, then you should improve your typing enviornment or your coworkers.
Maybe instead of '*'s displayed as you type in a password, you should display letters from a random word instead. That would give such over-the-shoulder people something stupid to look at, instead of your fingers.
It sounds like the setup for a SciFi movie. Starts out with a group being transported to an inactive city beneath the sea, but when power fails it floats to the surface, where they are attacked by soul sucking aliens and evil machines while searching for power units. Maybe we could call it Stargate Atlantus, or something like that.
Note to self: Before launching ballistic missile attack on an enimies secret lair, make sure the minions in charge are not stupid enough to launch while national media cameras are active. Do the laser sharks need feeding?
I've been pricing out a new laptop, and I've love to get one with SSDs, but DAMN they're expensive.
You should price out what an original IBM PC cost. You were looking at $1500 starting price, and that didn't include any kind of floppy or hard disk, and 64K (not M) of RAM. What you paid back then for two floppy drives would probably buy you a decent laptop nowadays. Hard drives started at $10 per M, and 30M was a large drive (in both physical size and storage capacity).
And you had to walk 30 miles uphill (both ways), in the snow, to get to/from school.
Aren't there supposed to be alien spacecraft following behind these comets? Every few years there's another group offing themselves in order to get a free ride on one of those spaceships.
Way back, in the far distant past, you could buy kits to make your IBM selectric connect to a serial port, and it would work as both a printer and a keyboard.
There were also kits available to us many common electric typewriters as printers, by putting a solenoid above every key.
And many of the later electronic typewriters came with a serial port.
Or you could have bought one of the letter-quality daisy wheel terminals, which could often be used as a typewriter.
It doesn't even appear that they used a manual typewriter.
Since we have the experts here, is a metric buttload a unit of mass, or is it weight, or maybe volume? I know that someone will say is a unit of current, because of all the juice. Others could claim it as a unit of time, due to the length of the queue at many sports events.
But, I have always called them minion 1, minion 2, etc. Ok, so 2 is the largest I ever got to, but you can't defy tradition. It's traditional, you know.
Reminds me of the Seal Team 6 story. The US Navy made a Seal Team 1 and 2, then skipped up to 6
Are you sure that they really skipped those other teams, or are they hiding the fact that they created them, then forgot where they were? There sould still be members of seal team 4 sitting in some long forgotten bunker, wondering when they'll get their next pay check.

Why hasn't anyone brought up the possibility that it is part of this conspiracy?

Just how do you pronounce that without people laughing at you. Keep-ass just sounds so porney.

Apache Declares War On Oracle Over Java
Slashdot never definess anything. Translated, this reads
An American Indian declares war on an ancient Greek prophet over coffee.
This reminds me of a scene in some movie... Oh yea, Toy Story where the spaceman guy zaps the c'boy with his leds, with less than explosive results.

Do you mind if I borrow your cell phone for a minute? I just want to pee on it a little bit... What STD test, I just want to pee on it?
Doesn't this remind you of the scene in the Raiders movie, when the Nazi's skin turns liquid? Is this how they did that scene?

If they were wearing silly masks, and moved around like the old silent movie stars, you'd have a set of Power Rangers.
I'll bet the main difference is something like going from -O0 to -O2, and dropping debug code.
The word you are looking for is either "droud" or "tasp". Check out wikipedia. Been done in SciFi for a long time.
Luckily for you there is two flavors available: Duracell and Energizer!
Can I have one that doesn't require knocking something off a weightlifters shoulder, or makes me bang on a drum while wearing as bunny suit?
Wouldn't it have been cheaper just to rent the same studio that NASA used?
So, they get power out of every stroke using two cylinders, instead of every other stroke using one cylinder.
Is this one of those "don't look behind the curtain" advances?

Does this mean that "that" is how neanderthals sounded when they talked?
