Lol. You're a lot meaner about this than I am, though I did get a certain pleasure in cancelling the facebook account that someone opened with my address.
Since you brought up politics, this harmless "words on a screen" sounds a lot like what resulted in the shooting of Senator Gabrielle Giffords. There are way too many crazy people in the world to be putting people's personal information out there. This is also much like what happened to Valerie Plame during the Bush administration.
Words on a screen with her address, social security number, and a made up story designed to manipulate the public into wanting to do something to her? I can imagine a campaign like that being rather frightening.
Another poster mentions that a 16 bit function consisting of "15 AND gates" takes 31 GB of space and takes 3 hours to process. That actually does seem beyond a human to unobfuscate, but I bet a well written tool should be capable (if they can actually find the part that matters in that 31 GB).
I work at a non-profit and have installed win 7 on machines with as little as 512MB ram. As long as you don't run any antivirus, they are usable and a 1GB machine is just fine for internet browsing and office apps. Now if you want to install an antivirus, you are talking 1.5GB minimum for a responsive system. I'd bet your wife's laptop had a bunch of always running corporate junkware on it and it may also have full disk encryption to deal with.
Yep, I just ran "C:\Users\Dzov>CMD/K WMIC OS GET InstallDate" and got an install date of some 5 years ago:" InstallDate 20090808155049.000000-300"
I don't even think that was on the same motherboard and cpu (second gen i5), but I'm not really sure. I don't know if it's the same speed or not, but it runs fine.
This is a great post and definitely points out a better solution to the cover story. Unfortunately, I think they are just using the children angle as an excuse to keep the status quo of officers and agencies being able to copy and exam people's personal information from their devices whenever they want. I can't believe this issue isn't just dropped by the government for being unconstitutional.
I recall reading some webpage about a Dodge caravan with something like a turbo 2.5 liter 4-cylinder. Apparently that same engine has a performance part following as it was used in some Dodge shadows or some such. Dude claimed that with race gas and modified computer settings, he was beating modified camaros and mustangs at the track.
This is the first slashvertisement I've seen here that hasn't generated a single complaint! Does seem to indicate that the war on drugs is a losing battle.
From what I've read, writing your passwords down *in a slightly changed form* and then keeping the list relatively secure like in your wallet, is actually best practice. It's impossible for an online attacker to get to, and even if someone does steal your written list, it is unusable to him assuming your alterations are decent.
Dictionary attacks are not the only attack vector now days. With all of the account server break-ins lately, a very big problem is people re-using the same password and login (often an email address) on different websites. So if your account to l33twarez.com gets compromised and you used the same account info as your email or bank, then those too are compromised. This has been a big problem with online gaming for years.
Hopefully none of that stuff is building up to eventually clog your drains -- which would then possibly cost thousands to fix. It could be a cutting off nose to spite your face situation.
You say that having sex with any woman that is infertile if even through no fault of their own from any number of reasons including but not limited to cancer, age, injury, genetics, etc is "no better than doing it with a pillow", and then procede to say "please, don't hate"? LOL. Also, people like you are the reason there are so many single mothers out there. Congrats.

Now we just need the FBI to vet all our politicians. It'd be interesting to see what our government would look like if noone lied.
Real drag racers already have to contend with getting detached retinas, and I don't think there's a solution yet.
Another poster commented that trolls were a problem back in usenet days. Trolls were just a lot more limited in what they could do.

Why post AC? Are you afraid of the same thing happening to you?

With that mindset, we might as well be driving gas guzzlers from the 70s and never bother with trying to conserve anything.

Instead of shooting yourself, try a vacation to Vegas or Thailand and partaking of available services. Or hell, quit your job and explore the world.

That may be so. How long do you think it took DOS to boot up then?
Maybe he only has 512MB of ram and antivirus running. That'll cause a fair bit of hd thrashing.

Boot time isn't a good benchmark. I had a 90Mhz pentium that would boot into windows 3.1 (from DOS) in something like 0.1 seconds.

And there were pitchforks.
What could anyone have against Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson? I'm actually curious.
Lol. This deserves a +1.
