If they really did that as default, you would have a/etc/shadow filled with data about the exact length of each password. Great thing, that;)
Some Software does include size optionally, other does compute two hashes.
The basic problem though, is that MDn and SHA-n are in the same family and these algorithms have been fundamentally broken for some time now. Instead of slathering on more of old security (Hi, 3DES!), get a new, better and above all different approach like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlpool_(algorithm). By the time everyone has switched, the old algorithms are completely useless, anyway (Hi, 3DES!)
Should the U.S. government or researchers be worried that a Japanese supercomputer will soon be crowned the world's fastest computer?
No, but they should be worried when a 'technology magazine' sees the need to explain that 298 is a larger number than 250.. Yes, this might be shocking, but after you substract 298 from 500, you are only left with 202. And no, 202 is not larger than 298, even if you take the whole of it. So, yes, if you have 298 apples of a total of 500, noone will be able to have more than you. Next, we will have a closer look at the letter 'G'.
As a purely Open Source user in a purely Open Source environment, I do get to hear lots of funny jokes about my eeevil keyboard, but the important part is that this keyboard lets you type in an almost natural position. Long story short, i owe a lot the little stack of keyboards I bought for all places I am working at.
Every store that sells small batteries has a box where you can drop them into. For every large battery (think car, motorbike), there is a 10 Euro deposit which you get back when you return any other large battery of the same kind.
For normal waste, you have the trash bins and sacks for easily recybalbe stuff (yellow), houses with gardens have one for biological 'waste' (brown), paper (blue) and the rest (grey or black) excluding glass and tin cans.
This brings us to the collection points every city has at least one of. There, you can drop everything from a washing machine to the uprooted tree in your garden. A couch, construction waste, toxic wastes, you name it.
Oh, and we have that small tax on electronics, too.;)
No idea about the US, but in Germany, this has been done for years. At night, they are pumping water into reservoirs uphill and during the day, they let the water go through a turbine back into a reservoir downhill. I learned about this system in primary school, so it must have been in use for ages..
..emacs! Just think about the possibility of actually _knowing_ what you are doing instead of just mashing buttons until you get into shell mode to start vim..
And it might come as a complete shock to you that many people just don't like to sign up. Forget those 30 email addresses everybody has these days, forget spam filtering. The truth is, the web conditions us not to reveal too much info (in this case, any info at all) and that's just that.
They have every right in the world to advertise or require people to sign up. But i have the same basic right to avoid their site just Because.
Never mind that i probably would not visit that particular or any other given random site again. Ever.
Side note: I could view the article without signing up or adds. Perhaps due to using Konqueror, but what do i know. I just hate these holier-than-thou attitudes. (On both sides, anti-ad zealots!)
Those machines would be next to useless, of course

This will only _really_ help you if the last kilobyte (and because of how those algorithms work, it need to be the last kB) is, at least in part, executed.
See the other post about the birthday paradox why even this is a bit useless for matching with a given hash as opposed to just finding two colliosions.
For the people with less bandwidth (or the heavily addicted irc'ers), there is #election2004 on irc.freenode.net, too. we will have the current results as we get them, plus discussion that stays amazingly friendly, at least until now;)
It is actually pretty easy to let a laptop run with it's lid closed: You take a pair of pliers and rip out whatever is used to detect the closed lid.
If you want, you can be a little more gentle, but if you have a laptop with dead batteries you can only use as a server any more, you might as well forget about functionality you will never need again.
yes, that is exactly what i thought. while having a huge uber1337 base may sound like a great idea, you have the problem with the shielding the other posters mentioned plus you get one big single point of failure. and when that things really breaks, what will the astronauts do? sit on the rover and wait it out?

It's a shuttle XPC barebone with an AMD CPU and a nforce4 chipset. As we have had DHCP troubles right before, it took me ages to 'debug' that..
Yah, grind the Meta key to death, instead ;)

A chain of Florida convenience stores has begun accepting fingerprints as payment, using a biometric system called Pay By Touch.
Money is so outdated, we should all pay with fingerprints and nail clippings instead!

if you turn over a few peripherals you have on your desktop, that you'll see "Tested to Comply with FCC Standards: For Home or Office Use."
;)
well, you might have noticed those 'CE' or 'TUV' marks. PCT and VCI are other examples. That's called internationalization

Sounds pretty much like what i have been running as kill419.sh in the background for about a year, now.
Most of the peer review done is free. Even for reader-pays magazines. Don't ask me why, but it is.
