    High-quality sound system and computer-standing-on-desk tend to be mutually exclusive.

    I do the powerstrip thing. In fact, I have one powerstrip that's always connected, and in that powerstrip I have a remote-controlled power-thing, to which I plug additional powerstrips. Whenever I leave anywhere, I simply press off on the remote and my monitor, all speakers, any non-essential devices and chargers/power bricks are out of power, while leaving essential devices on (computers). Same thing when I go to sleep, unless I really need to charge something during the night, and don't feel like jumbling with the rat's nest of chargers hidden under the desk. Saves power, AND is convenient.

    I see, so coffe should be made by adding impurities (coffee, milk, sugar) to water, then boiling the mix. Sounds tasty!

    Oh, and there seems to be an important item on that list there:
    Shall Article 1 (the Bill of Rights) of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to state:
    "That only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions.
    This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage. Nor shall this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions create or recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which is assigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects of marriage."?
    That sucks.

    Clearly a subliminal message by the *AA, suggesting that all their contracts are written with pig ink (blood). Those satanic bastards, they've infiltrated us all!

    You're holding the fork the right way. Me, I'm a righty and hold the fork in my right hand, which is backwards (at least here in Europe).

  11. Re:End user password selection on Bad Password Allowed Swedish Watergate · · Score: 1
    All I can say is anecdotal, however, the systems I've experienced with this truly sad level of user unfriendlyness saved them in some format. Otherwise, they would have accepted: cheddar3000 4000mozzerella cheddar3000 4000mozzerella cheddar3000 [...]
    Ah, but the system still doesn't need to know the current password, which would be a security risk. When the password is changed, the old password is input by the poor user, and is added to the list of old ones. Thus, you can only get a list of 10 passwords that the current one is not like. Which does help bruteforcing somewhat however, if you know the similarity algorithm used, and guessing, since you can see what types of passwords the user likes (or more likely, hates).

    I predict that high-end graphics cards will soon turn into "gaming cards".

  13. Re:End user password selection on Bad Password Allowed Swedish Watergate · · Score: 1
    And since you have to be storing the ACTUAL PASSWORD rather than a hash to check similarity
    Actually you don't have to: it's common to have to input your old password first, before being allowed to change it.

    Yes, the 'classic' classic version. But there's apparently some modified versions that prevent some of those tools from working. Though the preventions are probably easy to circumvent with a better tool. Also, you still need the tool: it can't really be done with a bent paperclip, or just by staring menacincly at the lock like some others.

    It seems that pin tumbler locks are common in the US. This I don't get. I picked a similar lock on a cabinet with a paper clip just recently, with only a quick googling for reference and no experience. What is the point of having a lock like that?

    Recommendations: Abloy classic or Abloy Exec. Notice that both of these have discs, that need to be rotated to the proper position by tilted slots in the key, before the key can be fully turned. No springs to fool around with that wear out. Here's a detailed lockpicker's writeup: part 1, part 2. (pdf)
