Yeah, that's real shocker in the story. Someone wants to introduce elephants and lions to what is now cattle ranch territory? There has already been a crazy amount of push back when reintroducing wolfs into different areas.
Something tells me elephants won't pay attention to barbed wire fences.
Plus, aren't we already having a difficult time keeping mountain lions alive?
Say you registered at adobe with jimiscool78@gmail.com with the password "passwordissecret". Hackers comprimise adobe read your plain text password. See its non random and try to acess your gmail account with the same password. If you used the same weak passoword, they now have your email account too.
Say you registered at adobe with jimiscool78@gmail.com with the password "&%awj&JS82j(1[sok", which you only used to register with adobe. Even if they try accessing your gmail account with the password, it won't work. Because its a different password.
Note the gmail access is just an example, they could also try that username and password at other sites like twitter, facebook, your bank, healthcare.org, amazon.com, etc. When you reuse passwords and one website where you used that password is comprimised, they all are.
If they had hashed them without a salt, then you'd be better off with a random password. If they had hashed them with the same salt, then you'd be better off with a random password If they had them plain text, and you reused the same weak password on multiple sites, then you'd be better off with a random password.
In general there are so many benifits to using a strong random password on each site, that its really stupid not to.
Well, just saying you have quality control, quality is controlled for the good. Makes me wonder if the lack of quality *is* the desired effect.

I approve of this Bill's message. Now if the new kids would update their documentation so they actually specified ASCII when they wanted ASCII instead of leaving it documented as EBCDIC.
I can't beleive there are so many people on here that didn't immediatly know what a CLA was in this context. Its not the olden days. KIds and their lack of intimate knowledge on the state of the Linux world.

Just doing it once sucks if you have a lot of media in a single folder ( which I did at some point). I'm trying to remember what I used before switching full time to linux. Maybe it was songbird? For years I used MusicMatch which was pretty good, but yahoo killed it off leading me to a period of time where I was really unsatisfied with any media players so I changed them frequently.
If you aren't using a database, you also need to do searching/sorting in code as well. I don't think a lot of them did this well.
Metadata can be stored in databases, which makes searching for artists/songs/etc faster than trying to go through the file system, loading each file and parsing the meta data out like some programs did.
First of all, Windows 8 is not a buisness tool in any capacity right now. They are all actively avoiding it, leading to the noted sales slump.
Microsoft would be within their rights to require all manufactorers to ship the default launcher, with others only accessable via the store, also possibly set by group policy. If it wanted to, Microsof could do this while retaining any strength they think they had while also promoting true innovation.
Write a good clean seperation for the launcher and let app developers go to town, like they do on Android. Let the best one win, and incorperate its fearues as the offical one.
There aren't any rational arguments against any inflation what-so-ever. If you are philosophically against it, I don't think policy makers should consider that a valid opinion on economic matters. It implies a lack of understanding on wealth generation in modern economies.
You're assuming that those criticism actually believe what they say. I don't think that's the case. I think there is also a large group that sees the first two groups as a money making opportunity and parrots the criticism in various money making schemes.
You don't consider google now to be at least a rudimentry consumer level AI system? I do. I knows what I like and shows me things I'm interested in at the appropriate time without prompting, while answering queries with remarkable accuracy.
If watson had enough information about you, like google now, it could probably answer the question.
"Well, you seem to like Alfonse, you posted 'Alfonse pizza is the best' twice after going there, even though you go to Pete's more often. Visits to Petes are usually in response to an invite from friends, which usually ends with your head in a toilet for 5 minutes longer than normal. "
Yes, but they didn't create that disaster on purpose. The scientists want a disaster that they created. Probably to gain entrence to the evil league of evil.
No, genious, the problem is US. The disfunction of congress mearly reflects our own stupidity and ineptitude as a nation. We could not achive any grand harmony by doing an end and around congress via an ammendment.
I think, perversely as it sounds, we need a congress that represents us less than it does now. If I had maigical constitutional changing powers, I'd double the terms for congress. House goes to four years, senate to twelve. Theoretically, that would mean they would worry less about what us idiots think is best and more about what is really good for the country. Of course, that may mean they just become more corrupt.
Or potentially we just need to get rid of gerrymandering. All congressional districts are now decided by a computer algorthm. Not limited to state boundries.
Not amazed at all. Tools are much better at detecting these kinds of bugs than humans, with out limited stack space. And as time goes on, we build better tools. I'm not really surprised at all that humans aren't spending their time poring over the intricacies of an old font loading section.
Especially not surprised that people aren't looking for local privileged escalation vulnerabilities.
Also not surprised as X's security model has been known to be flawed for years.

Yeah, I ran into that eariler this week. The only thing that solved it was to delete all of my cache and cookies. Hasn't happened again.
Really?

I don't think you know enough about songbird. Its pretty terrible. I have memories of finding it using 150+ Mb on a system with only 1 Gb ram.
I know everyone isn't a fan of Amarock, but its a thousand times better than songbird/nightengale.

Might try it later tonight. Nx worked pretty well, but it would occasionally break with other updates.
