You're right, but hashing makes "password recovery" impossible.
phpBB passwords are stored as an MD5 hash. Original passwords are not recovered, a reset URL is sent to the email of record after giving the reset function your UID and email (it will not work without both).
If certain employees' salaries weren't so outrageously high, would American-made products really be that much more expensive ?
I'm sorry, I don't see the relationship. I think you're under the mistaken impression that we still make things here in the US. Certainly we create technology, we manipulate money, we have a service industry, but make things? Very few things that come from Asia can be replaced with American products, even more expensive ones.
However, are they also willing to pay the prices of American made products?
Americans have grown to feel entitled to a certain standard of living that is disproportionate event to other Western nations. This is because we've been buying on credit. What Americans need to do is live with fewer toys. And, perhaps if we pay the price for American made toys, we will appreciate them more.
It's an "error" to be able to download an application package? Maybe users might want to download it to deploy accross a network (God forbid), and they happen to be surfing MS on XP? There could be many reasons to download it on XP. It's not a fuck-up until a Vista-only MS app installs on XP. Until then, it's just some guy downloading a file on XP.
Why try running it when you can write a snippy anti-MS screed at Slashdot that will be embraced and accepted as more evidence of MS incompetence?
As for me, I can't imagine wanting to install this thing even if I had Vista. I mean, this from the people that brought us Bob and Clippy? Dinking with my system settings? I don't think so.
Meanwhile, Monty Program Ab will be 'a true open-source company,' with only a small number of employees who 'strive to have fun together and share the profit we create.'
Until his product becomes HUGE and he sells his company to Sun again...
This thing as illustrated is hardly a robot. A *part* of a robot, maybe. It's an intrument package attached to a cable tossed ove a cliff by a rover and than retracted.
This is a good book (which I have) that walks you though building a complex multi-part Joomla component. All the code works and is non-trivial. My only complaint is how LeBlanc deals with interacting with the core Joomla classes. Joomla recommends building components with classes that extend the core classes, while LeBlanc does not do it this way, he builds his own functions outside that structure. But if you're looking for a great learning tool that doesn't dumb down the subject and has copious code samples, this is it. A more general reference that is also comprehensive is Mastering Joomla! 1.5 Extension and Framework Development, by James Kennard, same publisher.
WARNING: LeBlanc has a previous edition of this book, same title, which is WAY WAY WAY out of date, but still on sale at Amazon and the publisher Web site. You have been warned...
Incedently, Charter is Paul Allen's company. They are bleeding money right now with a stock price of... EIGHT CENTS! They've been skirting insolvency for a few years now and the Securities and Exchange Commission is saying that if they fail to refinance some of their debt, they will be forced into bankruptcy.
The fact that the different browsers render basic sites differently should be warning enough.
Nonsense. Unless you're using bleeding edge UI widgets, a browser UI is quite easy to replicate accross browsers with the use of targeted CSS or simply thoughtful design. Even with a JS framework for your UI elements, browser diferences are simply not a huge consideration. Unless you want that ActiveX goodness...
I think a good use for one of these things would be to make one powered by dog shit. We could let them loose in parks and other places dog owners "walk" their turd machines. I know the lawn at the apartments I live at would benifit from something like this.
ok, I get the point, but it's almost like they're on an ego trip, whining about how people are giving them proper credit, and wanting everyone to know how important they are. Frankly, I don't honestly care that much about Linus.
The whole "GNU" thing isn't about Linus, it's about Richard.
no, most of the 18 million boxes sold did *not* wind up on eBay. what an incredibly stupid assertion.
The fact of the matter is that many more coupons than actual non-digital TV broadcast receivers were issued. Where do you supposed those boxes will end up? And, right now there are over 600 for sale at eBay. After the "switch-over", all those people hording boxes they don't need will want to get rid of them. Think about it.
This a bad move by an equally mismanaged program. They say that there was not enough funding for the demand for coupons, but then the number of coupons exceeds the estimate of TVs receiving through broadcast signals. Most of those boxes are now for sale on eBay. And this does not even touch on the lobbying from the cable industry and other vested $$$ interests. Bad move.
Banning the devices without an equally convenient alternative will just result in people finding workarounds. Just don't be surprised what those workarounds are. Interfere with people Getting Stuff Done(tm) without educating them on How to Get Stuff Done without X...
This is the case with the current ban on thumb drives. For example, after years of being told we're moving electronic, the AF base I'm at switched to electronic crew pubs and forms, and other mission data from flights is built on board the aircraft, saved on a thumb drive, and downloaded to a system back home after the mission. There are work-arounds, but an entire system built on technology we can no longer use is an inconvenience that lends itself to unapproved / undocumented workarounds with even more security questions. We've always used government supplied thumb drives, but now a lot of people just (surreptitiously) use (more unknown) personal drives.
Why do ISPs insist on being more than just a pipe? It's so dumb no one wants them to be anything else. Do they just not feel useful when they are a pipe?
Because there isn't a lot of profit growth in being "just a pipe", and like all businesses, they would like to make more money.

Only another few hundred In Soviet Russia jokes to scroll through before you start to get to original content.
I thought Windows was the free OS in Russia.
Why to people even waste their own time with this type of shit? It's not even a good troll.

I agree with everything you've said, though my cell phone is about the same as my land line was (which I got rid of).

Nice. It even points the user to ANOTHER non-.mil site to download a PKI certificate. That settles it for me. This is NOT the military.
It's almost certainly a phishing site to gather CAC data from unsuspecting CAC holders.
This should be an interesting experiment in whether subjecting code to an early phase of public hazing reduces security holes and risks of all sorts.
It's extremely unlikely that any SourceForge type repository for government-used code will have much if any public access.

Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.
The obvious answer to me is that Microsoft has determined that they can not squeeze any money out of this code.

I've never heard Windows described quite that way.
