Yeah, but say 26 lower case, 26 upper case, 10 numbers and then how many special characters? 30?
So you got 62 vs 92 characters.
To begin with they don't know if you use alphanumerics only or not, so it's not obvious what.
But regardless, say they do.
8 characters with special characters: 92^8 = 5.13218873 Ã-- 10^15
10 characters but only alphanumerics: 62^10 = 8.39299366 Ã-- 10^17
So now Hedwardish (heck, screw the numbers, 52^11 = 52^10 = 1.44555106 Ã-- 10^17) is much better than 3TtÂed6/ and 3TtÂedÂ6/ is just four times as good.
Imho the former is easier to remember, and "bla bla yada yada story of my life this is my gpg key" is imho much more convenient than Y45i64tgi4%409d9di34k68rgft645egfed5t6&&7.
Personally I don't see the horror in "99% of passwords don't contain a single non-alphanumeric character."
Since then is a 8 character password with non-alphanumerics better than a say 50 character password with only alphanumerics?
Which one is easier to remeber of:
&/fhy47F
or:
"omg leet slashdot password try to crack this one stupid"
and which one is safer?
Also with no password reminder and all these shitty sites which require you to register for no obivous reason or which require it for a reason which matters who's got time for unique passwords?
Guess one could make one:
thisismypassword and then just use it as simple as thisismypasswordSlashdot, atleast that would make it unique.
Or maybe use different e-mail adresses for various seriousness of the account, so then you can have thisismypassword for all but if it's only for junkaccount@gmail.com then people won't crack your forumposts@gmail.com or emailaccount@gmail.com even though they had the same password.
Anyway I think "rules" for passwords are stupid. There are much better and easier ways to improve safety. Sure 50 characters with an occasional & sign is even better.
The issue with rolling my own is that with all the open-source software, apps, web-apps, Internet, piracy,... in what circumstances do I actually need to develop something myself? There is no drive to get going so unless it's for "trying to make this" (which is much more boring if I will have no use for it) or I get paid to do something someone really need I can't really see how or why I would develop anything?
Could I find some use for a mail and chat client or photo album? Yes.
Would mine be better than the ones already developed? Probably not.
How does installing new software on a pc/phone/whatever void warranty?
Probably in the sense "It doesn't boot since you fucked up the installation process / installed faulty software? We can't spend our time and resources fixing that!"
Reminds me of that movie I didn't watched but which was on the TV about a young kid which meet a group of music people (I think one grown up leader and lots of stealing children?)
Anyway he gets his hands of someones guitarr and plays by setting the strings in motion and then kinda "drumming" on them while they are vibrating (or maybe he still uses his finger tips but over the hole and not at the neck?)
Anyway, sounds pretty cool and is a creative way to use the guitarr. The movie was probably great but I didn't watched it because it sounded so boring with this musical theme.
There is a Swedish blog called Cornucopia which asks a question regarding (whatever it's possible with) unlimited growth in a limited world.
Which I find a fitting quote and/or question.
I guess what follows is a rather bearish attitude on the future economical growth and consumption for everyone.
Maybe even more so for us westerner and you people over there in the US.
As long as solar power can provide more power than was needed to build the plant it would work. But the energy may become very expensive and hence you most likely need to use it more sparingly. Same goes for a world without oil (and nuclear if that would be part of it.)
For housing you can build (more or less) passive houses with extra insulation and smart planning if you really want to. For other needs such as industry maybe one just have to accept that one may have to consume less, not more, the whole time? Guess the same goes for food production. Maybe you have to accept less growth and less food because it's grown in a more energy efficient and simple way?

Why not go all the way with QNX core, QT toolkit and WebOS foundation for the user interface? ... or just run MorphOS ;)
Yeah, because Kindle sales surely make Amazon rich. Not.

But I may be wrong ..

... but I live in Sweden.
I'm not. I don't got an issue with either.
It's probably legal to see them naked but maybe not have them work as porn stars.
Pornography and having sex isn't the same thing.
The retarded thing is that child-pornographic FICTION is a crime.
Who gives a shit about drawings? Murder, violence and so on in fiction form isn't crimes.
Over reaction and 100% retarded.
Ta bad no-one actually _CAN_ (or do) use a Thorium reactor atm.

Disney should be ashamed of themselves for profiting
Doesn't Jobs own Disney nowadays?
or as I would had liked to put it:
"This is Slashdot."
... n't really solve anything.)
Don't shoot anything up until you know how to get it away from there.
I think I've read how life length has expanded by 8 years in 100 years. Don't know if it was locally (Sweden) or not.
However many more died earlier before.

I don't want to be a troll but seriously what is this 1998? At least they'll have cloud computing I guess...
October 3, 2002: NetBSD: i386 -current Adds SMP Support
Not that long time ago..
Also:
On my computer all my files usually end up on the desktop nowadays, saves and what not.
In real-life? It all ends up on the floor.
I don't know which alternative is better. Atleast the files on my (virtual) desktop doesn't corrupt.
Where are the self-organising file systems? Even more so, where are the self-organising homes?! Wife 1.0 + mom-patch?
Yeah, I've more or less never lost a piece of paper ;D
Can't he afford one or two memory sticks himself? Doesn't he already own any?
I've used 3.x on an old OS X installation so things has probably improved but yeah, UI rendering vs page rendering in firefox rules, not.
I assume chrome or opera is better. (compared to said version, 4.x and later may have improved a lot, I can't use them so I don't know.)
Your mom is a racing driver?
The real problem is that schools don't teach how to handle a firearm safely and effectively.
Call the police and have them pick it up?
If your Groovy code is slow then you're doing something really wrong.
When I write Groovy, it's almost as fast as Java.
Does not compute.
