If I understand it correctly, for every LM hash someone has computed an input...
This is not correct. The hash of every possible combination of (7) letters has been calculated and stored in a large database. If you are searching for a password that has numbers or other characters in it, that hash will not be included in the database. There are also a very large number of "pseudo-hashes" which fall within the range of "hash-like" numbers, but do not result from any possible input.
So, to say that an "input" has been computed for every possible hash value is incorrect.
Sigh.... Read the term LINE PAIR again.... a line pair is a discernable PAIR of lines seperated by a contrasting line.
I have a hard time understanding why you dont consider the "contrasting line" to be one of the two lines that make up a "line pair".
Maybe a little homework is in order...
I agree...
Google didnt find the paper you cited online, but this one http://www.couger.com/microscope/Ted-Clarke/papers/FilmScanner/
"Resolution of Digital Photomicrographs from Scanned Film" (Reprinted from February/March 2001 issue of "Microscopy Today" with permission.) uses it as a reference, and the author uses two pixels per "line pair" in his calculations (Figure 5).
You are also contradicted by this paper http://www.fillfactory.com/htm/technology/pdf/oeep e99.pdf from the proceedings of the "European Organization for Experimental Photogrammetric Research
OEEPE Workshop on
Automation in Digital Photogrammetric Production", which concludes:
100% constrasting line pairs can be detected down to... slightly less than 1/2 line pair per pixel.
To resolve a line pair, you must have 2 lines with a space between them, and to resolve 1 line pair from another, you need to discern a space between the line pairs.... so you need 4 points to resolve a line pair
A "line pair" is one black line and one white line, just two pixels, not four.
There are some informative comments in this thread, but yours is not one of them.
Hovering is one feature, and following a programmed flight path is a second feature. Together, they make a pretty cool computerized flying, camera-carrying robot package.
The way I read it, there is a certain amount of attitude and position control hardware onboard so that when the aircraft gets a message to "hover", the robot flight systems handle the details of that task independently. And how small is it?
The article is clear enough.
Hovering has to be taken in the context of the other capabilities.
What i'm looking at is a hybrid system, where I would take input from: Grid, Solar and Wind....to reduce my electrical expenses.
If you consider the whole system, the best way to reduce your utility costs is almost certainly not by augmenting the supply side with a sexy solar / wind turbine hybrid, but rather looking seriously at the demand side. That's where the really money can be saved. I have no idea how you are using up to 90 KWHrs/day, but you mentioned an electric water heater, for example. Heating water with electricity is like cutting butter with a chainsaw. A solar water heater could pay for itself in the first year, compared to PV panels that might take ten to twenty years to pay off.
Why not pick the low-hanging fruit first? It may not be the sexy answer, but if you are serious about lowering your utility costs, the real money savings usually turn out to be on the demand side.
I would need to store some amount of reserve energy
Because you have access to the grid, it would be a lot cheaper to use the generator to cover for occasional power outages, and use a standard battery-backed UPS for each PC or other other critical use (cordless phone, etc).
> your SSH port ISN'T OPEN FOR SNIFFING until you knock...THAT IS THE WHOLE FRIGGING POINT
You are confusing "sniffing" with "scanning". Port knocking hides from simple scanning (using NMAP for example) but once a connection has been established it would be obvious to the ISP or anyone on the local net using a packet sniffer (Ethereal for example).
The next time you get the urge to post in FRIGGIN ALL CAPS, maybe you should try calm down a little bit and make sure you know what you are talking about.
The problem with a simple phone answering machine is that it still allows an unwanted caller to wake you up in the middle of the night, or harrass you by calling every ten minutes throughout the day, etc.
Telemarketers don't normally do that, but many people would still like a system that can block unwanted calls without allowing the caller to bother them by even ringing the phone.
Recording the natural echos of the room creates a sort of virtual acoustic room, and listening to it through speakers creates a second set of echos that sounds unnatural.
But if you listen to the recording with headphones, you hear only the the original set of echos and with a reasonably good recording, the sense of being placed in original room where the recording was made can be remarkable.

they have a good selection of open source software as well as "freely-distributable" (binary only) software.
What's this RFID? If you buy a shirt, how could you wear it with an RFID tag still on?
The entire transmitter/id-chip unit can be smaller than a grain of rice. If woven into the collar of a shirt, it might be almost undectable to the naked eye.
Pet owners sometimes have them implanted under the skin of the pet, using a hypodermic-needle-type device, to make identification easier if the pet is lost or stolen.
I'm inclined to check out the ones I haven't read, because in addition to the fairly obvious classics mentioned fifty times previously, you also listed a few favorites, like "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", that I didn't see mentioned anywhere else in this thousand-plus-message-thread.
Ever think about putting a link to that list on your home page?
I agree, why not use an inverter?
They can be small, cheap (less than $50), and simple. I don't know how much your time is worth, buy unless I could solve this problem is less than an hour, I would probably go down to the warehouse store and buy one off the shelf.

You'd think the license plate number would be a better clue [...]
:)
I would think the specific Model of Mercedes might be even more helpful.
Wouldn't the GPL'd code be considered "prior art"?
