The database shouldnt be storing our password. It should be storing the hash of the password, from which you can verfiy it, but not recover the actual password string.
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg?

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand at post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
Am I the only person who would fail miserably on KLOC? thousands of lines? per day? sheesh. Unless you are doing new development, that's just schitzophrenic.
I have had highly productive days where i wrote maybe 10 lines of code.
Heh, the elevators in our university keep breaking down. After II enquired, i was told that the valves in the computer needed to be replaced quite frequently.
Windows stores passwords in a one-way hashed form, and cannot be recovered. They are, as i recall, base 64 encoded when transmitted when you logon, if logging on remotely. But other than that tokens are passed between the computers to continue your authentication within the domain.
I dont know if it uses a nonce, however, and if that nonce is unique to the computer.
Let's just say for example if "Australia" comes out tomorrow and announce that the US is a great terrorist nation and a part of the "Axis of Badpeople"
Microsoft has a history of being highly apolitical. It is only very recently that they started "donating" money to political parties. In essence, they have only done it now because it seems they need to.
To suggest there is something sinister going on here is correct. Only it is on the part of a govermental system that allows such donations, not on those making them.
When I went to Toronto, they told us they often did films there, but they needed ot make the streets look like streets in the US. One of the things they did to do this, was throw extra rubbish on the ground, and then clean it up afterwards.

Hoorah.
Oh my
Boy did I get bitchslapped.
Sorry....
Quite right about the base64, wholly inadequate.
Note that once authenticated, the password is never transmitted, as the computer doesnt know it anymore.
I dont know if it uses a nonce, however, and if that nonce is unique to the computer.
You are late for a whole tank load of appointments....
Euck!
My machine is named after Britney.
Even got the wallpaper, too... It's when it starts creeping into your coding conventions that you know you've gone too far..
StringBuffer buffy = new StringBuffer();
Got turned into...
StringBuffer britney = new StringBuffer();
Ooeeer...
But of course, you knew that before you posted that, didnt you?

Get with the program. Australia is actually part of the Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About America
Really, get your facts right!
Oh my, oh my. I thought they only came from Asia. Oh well, time to block all emails from America...
They even have a new logo!

Radio waves ARE light. they travel at the same speed, cuz they are the same thing.
I think the protocol is more along the lines of

And does it even work at all? what happens if I go to a page with a ActiveX component in it?
*ZZzzap*, I think I just lost some karma points.
Farmer's Son: It's ok pa, We've got the GPS, it'll tell us where we are
Farmer: Good thinkin', junior
Farmer's Son: OK, y'all wait on, nearly got a signal.. OK, I got it!
Farmer: So, where are we?
Farmer's Son: We are at 123.45'56"E, 43.45'23"N
Farmer: So.....
Farmer's Son: Pa! Pa! I know where we are now!
Farmer: Where, son, where? Tell your old man
Farmer's Son: Well, Sir, Well, Pa, Well, we're in a corn field.
Well, nobody else made any farmer jokes!
Not to nitpick, but they are using Redhat instead of an expensive Unix, not an expensive windows.

That he used the internet to perform illegal solicitations, so they decided to put him under house arrest? Heh, that'll stop him using the internet.
