    Actually, the older ones took a longer time to crash. Take my win98 box in a '99 emachine for example. Nowadays it will first Bsod on startup, hit space, it goes away. Then it will bsod again a couple times when the ram starts getting full. Auto -close fuction for the background programs I call it. Then, it will start to get sluggish, the cpu light will start going full tilt, till she either stops, or inexplicibly restarts.

    Now If I had a new machine, it would crash a lot faster, and I would get less work done.

    Yes, but there is a critical point at which the rate of unused genes stops disappearing rapidly, and they for all intents and purposes, exist forever. It's not like humans are single celled organisms, where the existence or lack there of, of a couple non functioning genes might make or break the survival chances of itself. Also, there is also some slight proof that genes do function better when there is some separation between functioning, and non-functioning base pairs. In my opinion it's in the benefit of humans to have unused genes, as over time, mutations in them may spring beneficial genes. Lastly, I have a question for you. What evolutionary purpose would disappearing genes serve? The benefits seem so minuscule to me.

    By your comment I can see that you have never been up here where it actually gets cold and snows then. Some pine trees can carry nearly twice their weight in snow. And what the hell are you talking about hardwood trees getting the sap out of the trunk? If the trees did that, they'd die. Sap doesn't freeze until it gets really cold, and even then, when trees to crack, it's usually nothing major.

  20. Re:damn on MD5 To Be Considered Harmful Someday · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. Even small hashes can be made unpredictable.

    What if one got the hex value for each character in decimal, and when computing the hex, used the h value twice, the l value 4 and 2 times, the o value once and half of the e value, (basically multiplied by a function depending on where the initial value was located) and then, when computing the final hex, used these numbers more than once in the calculation.

    Doing this, and getting the results from modular division, the number in the hundredths placeholder of the original value over the total value...

    There are lots of methods to create a seemingly random but predictable string from an input, and even with low-level hashes, its completely unpredictable. Even if one tried to use a small enough input value for the computation, a good hash sum generator would have compensations for this, ie, the total string value is changed to 10^(e+1) - x.yz...*10^e then the result is multiplied by the an original hash value.

    If you don't think I am making any sense, look at this example. I am making a hash value of two different inputs, one is '100' (a) and the other is '101' (b)
    Method: [10^(e+1) - x.yz...*10^e]*[(ones placeholder +3)-(hundreds placeholder*45) modular divided by 34)] Then the result is modular divided by 104.5. If the result is negative, it is converted to a positive value. Then, the value is doubled string-wise, ie xy --> xyxy and is put to the power of (x+y+sum of original char's*.1). Then it is rounded to the nearest one.

    a) [1000-100] * (3-135)/34]/104.5
    hash = (900 * -30)/104.5
    hash = 39(39)^(12.1)
    hash = 3.1927900973916559543780941642248*10^43 (calc won't go any further)

    b) [1000-101] * (4-134)/34]/104.5
    hash = (899 * -28)/104.5
    hash = 92(92)^(11.2)
    hash = 2.7721903833553211943079134140892*10^44 (ditto)

    And that was just a simple hash, that I created off the top of my head. Defiantly longer than the input value, and one could probably just modular divide to 32 decimals for convenience. Now imagine what a person who actually makes hash algorithms could do. (This is only my second ever pseudo-hash.)
