  1. Re:My answers.. on Apple Support Allowed Hackers Access To User's iCloud Account · · Score: 1

    While upgrading some client software to implement one way hashed/salted passwords I came across this password while I was showing why the users of the system were vulnerable to simple brute force attacks.

    "9the8quick7brown6fox5jumps4over3the2lazy1dog"

    This one was by far the strongest in the data, the weakest was "god" (there were actually no "password" passwords)

  2. Re:Impact Of The Decade on Why You Should Be More Interested In Mars Than the Olympics · · Score: 1

    Actually this might be good timing, if the rover crashes nobody will ever know due to the Olympic coverage.

  3. Re:First advice... on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Stay Employable? · · Score: 0

    Live below your means.

    Blasphemy! That is not part of the American dream. And how dare you even suggest such a thing when he can just go out and get a couple more credit cards.

  4. Re:Nice Idea on Hip Hop Artists Developing Open Source Beat Making Software · · Score: 1
    Pretty much sums up the reason for them wanting to do this :

    One obstacle has been our software of choice, Reason 6. Not only is it prohibitively expensive, but it is difficult to order, impossible to share between computers, and is anchored by obnoxious security provisions.

    In layman's terms they don't like the idea of not being able to use if for free. Pretty much defines the majority attitude in the hip hop industry really.

  5. Re:I see dumb people, they're everywhere.... on Facebook Says Your Email Is @Facebook · · Score: 1

    "We want people to use whatever's easier for them."

    Actually in this day and age that is pretty much true, these days people don't care about settings and options all they care about is if it works. If anything Facebook has done a service, by making these kinds of changes and then power users raising a big stink about it forces clueless users to actually go in and look at the settings to confirm what they have been oblivious about since they first opened an account.

  6. So few make any sense... on ICANN Reveals New TLD Application List · · Score: 1

    I briefly scanned over the list and the only one that I saw that made sense was .store, which when you use it seems natural www.amazon.store. Something like www.hotmail.mail or www.google.google seems pretty poinless to me when all they will do is just redirect to the dotCOM version anyway.

  7. Re:Big shoutout to Tridge and the whole Samba team on Samba 4 Enters Beta · · Score: 2

    Or maybe it had more to do with MS actually inviting the core Samba team to Redmond so they could work on better integration points to AD; they did this around the time Win2k8 was released. They have done this numerous times.

    The same thing happens on Linux but at a MUCH smaller frequecy.

  9. Re:"increased goodwill from users"? on Why eBook DRM Has To Go · · Score: 1

    Not all books just ebooks. Solved!

  11. Re:Yep. on 7-inch Google Tablet Coming From ASUS · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The irony of this coming from a closed-minded piece of shit like you is astounding.

  12. Re:External Drive? on Ask Slashdot: Using Company Laptop For Personal Use · · Score: 1

    Actually they could have him charged with the destruction of private and intellectual property if he does what he is saying. Best solution so far would be to use a LiveCD and buy a 16+GB USB key to store the settings and such on it.

    Or like others have mentioned just buy a tablet if it's just for entertainment purposes anyway.

  13. Re:Is the air aiding and abetting terrorism? on Is Twitter Aiding and Abetting Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm air is a stretch but the Earth, now that is the real culprate who is aiding and abetting terrorism.

  14. The reason for the rapid release cycle is clear on Firefox 9 Released, JavaScript Performance Greatly Improved · · Score: 0

    They need to get as many bug fixes / new features in as they can while Google is still funding them. Once it has stopped Firefox will become the Netscape 4.7 of web browsers. That is unless Microsoft steps in and picks up the funding.

  15. My experience is with frameworks... on Ask Slashdot: One Framework To Rule Them All? · · Score: 2

    Most of the time you don't end up using the framework it ends up using you. Over time the quirks of a framework ends up biting you in the ass (usually in a huge way). This is why there are always new frameworks being worked on and there is no one framework that stands alone over all the rest. Lately I have been putting more stock in libraries than frameworks.

    2012 will be the year of ARM on the desktop...

  17. So both companies are douchbags now? on Samsung May Try To Block Next iPhone In Europe Too · · Score: 1

    Does not matter who threw the first punch the fact they are both hurting the consumer in doing so makes them both douchbags in my books.

  18. The USPS is not in trouble just yet on USPS Losing Battle Against the E-mail Age · · Score: 1

    Just a heads up this is the real issue behind the default http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/09/06/postal.default/index.html?hpt=us_c2. It has to do with the retiree health care trust fund payment (5.5b) being due on Sept 30th.

  19. Great movie to watch on the subject... on Apple's Chinese Suppliers Accused of Causing Significant Environmental Damage · · Score: 1

    Very interesting movie on this subject and the "recycling" of western technology Manufactured Landscapes (2006)

  20. Storm surge threat reference material on Hurricane Irene Prompts Unprecedented Evacuation of NYC · · Score: 1

    Some interesting articles on the how and why NY and surounding areas are at risk.

    Google earth rendering of the possible flooding (4.3m storm surge for a cat 2 hurricane)

    The one thing that the media and this model does not take into account is the underground infrastructure factor which could extend the flooding (underground) up to 2 miles further from the edge of the on land storm surge (the model only shows above ground).

  21. See no evil, do no evil... on Google Reaches $500 Million Settlement With Feds · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Google has the "if I don't get caught have I done anything wrong" attitude and now are getting called out on it, makes me wonder just how many other instances of "see no evil, do no evil" the public and competitors don't know about.

  22. Amazing how a couple of days can change things... on Google To Acquire Motorola Mobility For $12.5 Bill · · Score: 1

    http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/08/13/036203/Motorola-To-Collect-Royalties-For-Android

    Considering that Google didn't just wake up and said "I think that I will buy Motorola today", this article now makes perfect sense. I suspect that Google will be even more closed about Android since they are now an OEM.

  23. Google does NOT need Firefox on Why Google Needs Firefox · · Score: 1

    Without Firefox think of all extra advertising dollars they would make without NoScript/Adblock or other ad blocking plugins that Firefox offers. The bottom line is that Google is using Firefox as a way to keep the "do no evil" drones in line.

    Mod me down but it's the exact thing Microsoft and Apple do only to a different target audience.

  24. I will say it now... on Unified NoSQL Query Language Launched · · Score: 1

    CouchDB, SQLite and Microsoft are shepherding the project and are inviting other parties to participate. "We're not trying to drive some sort of heavyweight process," Phillips said. Future versions of both CouchDB and SQLite will support UnQL queries, their creators promise.

    Somehow I feel that MS will be either buying up of these NoSQL companies or is developing their own in the near future. Why else would MS get involved...

  25. Anyone signed up and read the TOS on Google Announces Google CDN · · Score: 1

    Would be interesting to see how they can use the content after downloading and what kind of rights on the content you are giving up. At the very least you have given Google the "right" to do analysis on all traffic to your site and the content of your site; whatever that entails.
