8x8 grid of various characters. Pick your line. The line can be any direction you want. Start on whichever character you want. Don't necessarily make it a straight line.
Certainly a person can reasonably guess that the card they stole is using one of 16 passwords, because people choose the easiest path. However, using a memorized salt would help in most places except where you can't use sections of previous passwords.
I had a computer security type class while at the Uni. L0phtcrack found my "ultra-secret" password in about 5 minutes (Windows XP login password). Cain&Able can also crack those passwords saved in browsers. So, yeah, single point of failure.
My problem was the mishandling of Pippin and Meriadoc. Those characters totally had a maturing when they stood in the Treant council. Instead, the director put the critical decision and statement in the hands of the head Treant. I too thought the movies were an excellent adaptation of the books.
THHGTTG isn't consistent between mediums (or even between books). That was by design by the author. I think some fans missed that point when watching the movie. (unless I am misunderstanding their complaint.)
But that's also the problem. The whole story is told through a single person's point-of-view... that person having no dialog.
I'm not writer, so I couldn't say what a good Half-Life movie would be. I can only venture to guess that the story would not revolve around Gordon Freeman so much as we have in the games. Perhaps it can explore the G-Man's influence, the time between resonance cascade and the Combine coming to power, or post Citadel destruction, or what happened at Ravenholm.
Besides, what's wrong with the Lara Croft movies? I know, they're Indiana Jones type movies, but the game was basically Indy is a girl.
The Oblivion countryside was huge! Certainly there were "cute" areas and "creepy" areas. It was a fairly decent game, covered story and made you think about various social topics... if you're into that kind of thing (each "god" had a group of followers that could be classed as hippies or goths or whatever). It also made you evaluate your choice in moral quandaries.
I have been known to handle to different computers, mouse in each hand in right-hand configuration, just fine. Middle finger of left hand does all the left clicking, pointer does the right click. Not hard to wire your brain to figure that out... at least, not hard for me to train my brain to think like that.
Heck! Why use apt-get? Ubuntu has been very nice to include a GUI front-end for it... twice. Administration -> Synaptics Package Manager and Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center
I have met... okay, I haven't met them, but I follow-up behind them on occasion... tech's and tech firms that will install unlicensed software on a client's computer. Quite often, the user/owner does not know about the unlicensed copy.
Perhaps the line should have read
We have detected that this copy of avast! Pro is using an unauthorized license code (in other words, you didn’t pay for it - if you paid for it, contact your sales representative).
I remember my high school Pascal teacher introducing something like the above-mentioned AI algorithm game. Each person writes an algo' to "defeat" the other person's bot.
As part of a college group assignment, that is what we did. This was 5 years ago. Comodo and Microsoft had not released an AV product. The test was to verify if the AV products would prevent various attack vectors. The computer was re-imaged after each test and then loaded with the tested AV product. One test was performed with the image and no AV. We tested AVG, Norton's, McAfee, and ZoneLabs offering (using the free or free trials version). I also tested with one product that was advertised on TechTV / G4 using that Scandinavian girl asking if you have viruses. I used several different scanners to verify infections.
As expected, the last one failed miserably. McAfee and Norton's didn't do so hot. Zonelabs did well and AVG was the best... at being adequate. I admit I might have had a bias when performing the tests, but I was being as thorough and consistent throughout the tests as possible.
I turned away from AVG when the nag-ware piece of their software became overbearing and their software started to get as sluggish as Norton's had been. I have been on Comodo since just before their Internet Security software left beta stage. I've not had too much problem with viruses.
Having said all that... from this point on, I'll be much less informed - I've gone Ubuntu. I've now got to learn how security on Linux works and how to properly configure its firewall.
That was a fun test. It would be much easier to perform now with VMs being as stable as they are.
I use Comodo because they have the best free software firewall around. It's a bonus to get the AV product with it. Like you, I'm not sure how good it is. However, in the 3-5 years I've been using it, I've not had virus troubles (2 computers, one's the wife's, the other is mine)
I decided, after my recent hard drive failure, to fully immerse myself into Linux. My PC, among other things, is a gaming machine. I've built it to be that. Having said that, I am quite pleased with how my games are running under Wine in Ubuntu. I'm also very pleased with how easy Ubuntu 10.10 is to use.
Add to this that, usually, who is the first country in a troubled area with actual aid (food, money, resources)? Who provides most of these resources at the end of the day? America is great in so many ways. (And, yes, I realize it has made a large number of mistakes. Our current chief apologizer is attempting to make amends for those right now.)
It may not have been interesting to you at the time. However, the ramifications of the event and how it likely affects your life today is probably interesting. Perhaps you fly less or are more annoyed by going through sexual assault when attempting to board a plane. Or, perhaps not. Perhaps you are the type of person that rarely leaves your locale... any traveling you do is by car or train. But then, you are affected by having more motorists on the road, travelers on the train because there are others who fly less.
Perhaps, also, the bedouins, who have no knowledge of the 9/11/01 events, will have noticed quite a few more SUVs, tanks, and men with American guns on the trails they usually frequent (assuming they are nomadic in the Arabian Peninsula).
What? The results of the kid's fallout or a reality metal detecting show? I can see it now... "Metal Detecting WARS" !!@!@121!!@ Next on TLC. (Right after Storage Unit Wars... I'm not kidding, I saw a commercial for the thing recently.)
Yeah, I think meteorite hunting or beach combing for rings is more profitable, if possible. If you get REALLY lucky, you might find some coins washed
up from a 1600's boat wreck.
My one time search in FL this year netted me a penny, a dime, and a toy among the normal trash.
That's why the Republican Party appears to be more of an umbrella type party. They accept the socially conservative and the fiscally conservative. Much to the chagrin of the socially and fiscally conservative, the party includes the socially conservative fiscally liberal... which is what we've had from ~1996 - 2007. The TEA Party appears to be fiscally conservative and socially whatever you want. The Democrat Party appears to only accept any conversation from the socially and fiscally liberal to the extreme leftist (call them what you will - socialist, communist, marxist).

You forgot the floating point error from the original Pentium 66s, or "0.99997" really does equal 1.0000!"

handle two different computers... apparently my fingers don't always listen to me.

Only if they repent.

Perhaps, through an attorney :)
Perhaps a better site: P-Robots

Mmmm... google is my friend P-Robots
I think you're looking in the wrong places. Maybe you should advise them to use more hand sanitizer or to stay away from those street girls.

Boy, I'm glad I didn't originally make my handle mach10 back in the BBS days.

And, in the US, we keep voting them back in...
Oh, sorry, this wasn't the political thread, was it?
