  1. Re:Hollywood is truly out of ideas on War of the Worlds Remake Already Shot Overseas · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I dunno. I reckon that the Pendragon production with full on period setting could be awesome. The book ruled. The audio vesion (Jeff Wayne wasn't it?) was fantastic. It appears to be what I was hoping for from Speilberg, but maybe being an independent it'll have that extra integrity... and it will be set in England ;) The Speilberg version will probably be flimsy and nice looking.

  2. Re:Just do what I do on Passwords - 64 Characters, Changed Daily? · · Score: 1

    Surely a better approach may be to do something like the online banking systems do, rather than one password use a sequence of two (or more for higher security applications) passwords?

    The banks tend to go with personal info (such as DOB)+ 1 password, but if you had 2 alphanumeric passwords and a two stage process surely that makes bypassing it a lot more complex.

    Picture this: -
    Login 1 - Enter info, hit submit
    Login 2 - Enter info, hit submit
    By using two screens it makes the brute force/dictionary attempt that much more difficult. By using 2 passwords, the probability of a them being compromised becomes a lot less likely too.

    I guess ultimately it'll all end up using biometrics and people will be hacking off fingers instead of hacking into systems...

    Surely you mean e-pocket? OK, so kinda off topic, and yet not: - What's the most bizarre or just downright crazy e-something-or-other that you've seen so far? Anyway, off for some e-coffee...
