- or you can go through all possible passwords ONCE and save the resulting hashes; subsequent cracking jobs are very fast, but you wasted a lot of space to store all possible hashes.
thus, if disk space is cheap and you can afford to keep a couple of gigs in pre-computed hashes around, you have a very fast way of cracking weak hashes. a couple of years ago, this was not possible due to hard drives being like 200MB large.
You could always burn the data on a DVD rom. That would give you around 7 Gigabytes to play with. For a box of ten DVD's, that around $10 to $20 for 70 Gigabytes. And you could always buy second hard disk drive. Even Dell sells home PC's with hard disk drives in the 250 - 400 Gigabyte size range. And laptop sized hard-disk drives are now in the 120 Gigabyte range.
Umm wouldn't windhisled that don't break cause more fatalities?
The windshield does break - the glass becomes lots of little glass cubes. But the plastic layers deform under impact, keeping the fragments in a contained space, so you get a free "forehead impression". Deformable enough to prevent serious head injury, but strong enough to stop you flying out. Neither of which will happen if you are wearing a seatbelt correctly.
If you use ordinary glass, there would be sharp elongated shards of glass flying everywhere.
... I always wondered why satellites are wrapped in gold foil. The offical reason was that it protected against micro-meteorites, sudden temperature changes and heat stress. Now we know the real reason:)
From the article you will see that research studied two particular groups of genes:
(1) Mitochondrial DNA - This DNA never recombines. The genes are passed *exclusively* down the maternal side of the family tree ie. daughters have near identical mitochondrial DNA to their mothers (plus or minus the odd genetic mutation, which allows the scientists to timestamp the changes).
(2) The Y Chromosome - This DNA never recombines. The genes are passed *exclusively* down the paternal side of the family tree. ie. sons have near identical Y-chromosomes to their fathers (plus or minu the odd genetic mutation, which allows the scientists to timestamp the changes).
The mutation rate of mitochondrial DNA is around 1 change in 33 generations, or around 520 years. That gives people quite a long time to move around and form new settlements.
Finally, those kids in college can really see their circuits in action rather than as blinking circles in some circuit simulator !
And of course, the kids are missing out on the fun of spending an entire lunchbreak trying to debug a simple circuit (a logic analyser) where some of the kit parts have had their polarity reversed (PNP transistors instead of NPN transistors) without anyone bothering to check.

Living the good life:)
Being able to live in the best locations (quiet/safe neighbourhood, good school, large backyard, nice green view, and being able to just afford the luxury items you want to buy (4x4 off-roader), and being able to go on holiday whenever and wherever you want. Usually such people have taken early retirement in their mid-50's and have paid off their mortgage. Broadband is now attractive to these people as they video-conference with their friends and family across the world.

Being on the border between the countryside and middle-class suburbia, while still being within 30 minutes of a major city centre and an international airport are still extremely desirable features of lifestyle living. This has been the major factor which has influenced the growth of most major cities.
The requirement for broadband adds another factor to the equation. It adds another constraint to the choice of purchasing a house, affecting house and adjacent land prices.
Are there studies that demonstrate that broadband access results in economic growth even in rural areas?
In other news, Bud Light gets you lots of chicks. In bikinis. And twins.
If you drink enough bottles, every single chick you take back to your place will have a twin in the morning. And you will also have two watches on your wrist.
A good example is the number of students who are using broadband/ADSL in order to allow their home PC to be used as a network drive, giving them the freedom to do their work from home as well as at university.
b) A major collision is in no way necessary, sorry.
I always thought it was the collision between the planetoid that created the Moon, and the Earth which caused the convection currents of the plates (otherwise, wouldn't everything travel in the same direction).
Due to the great heat in the core, denser elements (such as uranium, plutonium, other radioactive elements) will sink to the bottom
I always wondered about that. So theoretically, the very centre of the core of the Earth would be plutonium/uranium, surrounded by layers of different metals? I read that it wasn't possible to go beyond Iron using Fusion?
i don't think this should be such an odd find. what are the prerequisits for a planet/moon having tectonic plates?
A major collision with a large planetoid is the main requirement (imparting a huge amount of heat), and a means of keeping this energy in the core, so that at least the central part of the planet/moon remains semi-liquid. Otherwise everything would just cool down and become a solid lump.
Titan is believed to be heated by gravitation stress from Jupiter, if not from the magnetic field as well. There could also be natural fission.
It is going to be interesting to see if there is enough liquid to partially or completely cover the surface (oceans/continents, marshy areas, complete ocean with high waves/frozen poles).
A national ID card scheme was tried out in the UK back in the early 1970's at the same time as members of the British Commonwealth were first moving into the country (and usually into the cheapest, most crime-ridden areas).
The police would arrest them for not carrying their ID cards with them; which they were not doing because they feared being mugged and having their ID cards stolen.
Catch-22: If you do carry your ID card with you, it gets nicked and you get grief, hassle and aggro from the authorities for a replacement.

It's a neat idea, but using a small-diameter, high-RPM cutting tool to carve a pumpkin essentially guarantees the immediate area will be coated in a fine orange spray.
Apparently, a diet rich in meat helps people grow taller. The Japanese have in recent years increased their consumption of red meat (vs. rice and fish), and their average height is increasing.
The current explanation for these "hobbits" is they somehow got to this 31-square-mile island, and because of the habitat/food source limition, they grew smaller so that they cooled off more easily, and used less energy.
That's the argument used for living in extreme cold. We were told that ethnic cultures such as the Zulu's were tall because that was the best way to radiate heat (taller == more elongated == more surface area/volume), and that the Innuit were short and round due to the extreme cold (shorter == more spherical == less surface area/volume).
For reptiles, warmer temperatures usually leads to larger body sizes, while colder temperatures leads to smaller sizes.
So, maybe the climate went the other way, and everything became colder?
It's interesting to see how Bush seems to know more about European defence policy In Iraq (in particular Iraq) than the British government seems to.
A good three to four weeks ago, the program "Ask the President" was being broadcast live on the BBC Parliament channel) when Bush confirmed that the cost of the Iraq war was going to be reduced by having a greater contribution of troops from the European allies.
A month later, there's outrage in Scotland, that the same regimental divisions that have been slated for merger/disbandment ("Blackwatch"), are the same ones to be moving into Baghdad. Publc opinion in the UK is that this is a political move by Bush to keep his voters happy, and there is fear that the UK is being sucked deeper into this situation (If there are already 150,000 troops in Iraq, why are another 500 needed?).
but as theories go the one that c-sections have an impact on allergies seems a bit far fetched
As a new infant develops inside the womb, some of the urine produced is reused to help make the lungs develop. When the infant is born, this is normally squeezed out of the lungs. This doesn't happen with a C-section, so the effects of this are unknown. Does it oxidise and damage the lining of the lung, soldify into micro-crystals that could puncture cells or is it absorbed straight back into the blood stream?
What if they spy aliens? Won't that cause a little alarm amongst the general population?
No, the central government of Titan have contingency plans to reassure the Titanian public that anything they see is merely a weather balloon, a stray asteroid or a reflection of Venus.
There are several current theories; (1) that our houses are so clean, that the immune system becomes hypersensitive to anything it doesn't recognise. Another theory is that children born through Caeserian section don't have their lungs properly 'wringed' through normal childbirth and are more likely to suffer from asmtha , bronchitis etc... (3) Another theory is that the fumes chemicals such as housecleaners, detergents damage the lining of the lungs.

The patent for Rubik's cube was issued in 1980, and so it is expired."
The patent relates to the mechanism of the cube (six axii, plastic cubes with edges) and sticky tabs.
Trademark relates to the name "Rubik's Cube" and other titles such as "Mini-Cube" "Professor's Cube" and "Rubik's Snake" and the name of the company.
Copyright covers the shape and colours and titling of the cube.
