As someone mentioned already, they should first check the list
of hashed already cracked and return the answer if found, so as not to waste time. Now they're going to crack the same hash over and over again (unless they delete it first).
The 42 answer was a joke, a movie reference. I forget the exact movie, but I remember the guy asked "what is the meaning of life" and the answer was 42. Problem being he didn't know the question it was calculated from. You had to be there I guess. A MOVIE? Ungeek!
It's from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, a real book, on paper! Can you imagine it? A supercomputer was asked the answer to Life, The Universe, And Everything. It went into deep thought and returned a thousand (sic) years later, saying the answer is 42.
Run, don't walk to your nearest bookstore and get a copy.:P
It seems they're also going to hobby OS developers as part of their "research". Probably trying to find out if it is credible that someone could build an operating system by themselves, or something.
The name Justin Orndorff also appears in the ESR response.
Popups are irritating because they, well, pop up, when you least expect it, where you least expect it, and have to spend time and nerves closing it.
But when you use tabbed browsing and set new windows to open up as new tabs, this problem is gone.
It is when I use a browser without tabs for some time and notice those ugly popups that I think - why don't I ever notice any popups? And this is because when an ad appears in some tab, I just click where the X that closes the tab usually is and get it over with.
Yes, but cracking the code isn't only going through all of the numbers - you have to input the code to the access system and get a response (and a good system delays on a wrong password).
Some time ago, I needed to write a cronjob on a friend's box to do nightly updates of the locate database. Not being familiar with the syntax, I looked it up quickly and wrote this cronjob: * 05 * * * updatedb I thought that this would run 'updatedb' at 5 o'clock, and the minute isn't important. What this actually means is 'starting from 5 o'clock, run updatedb EVERY minute'. Imagine my friend waking up in the middle of the night because of the disk making lots of noise, (updatedb is heavy on the hard drive) as my cronjob had generated loads of updatedb processes. The system load was 70.00 at the time my friend arrived to check out what's happening.

Does that 'Ob' stand for obvious? It should stand for obligatory!
I, for one, welcome our new bee-loving overlords.
But does it run Linux?
Yes, sorry. It was a radio show first, but it's most known for the book.

Or use a one-liner perl regex as your password, easy to remember if you know what it does, but also not breakable by dictionary attack. :)
