No, I don't think that's what he meant at all. Why so quick to jump to the conclusion of racism?
??? Sorry but I fail to see any references to racism either in GP or my post. Or is my knowledge of English that bad? (A dirty Polack here.) The only party I'm offended by is Nokia, may Elop get eaten alive by dire tardigrades.
It's poor english, and the posts on Maemo are event worse.
You mean, all posts from random developers from China are reviewed by someone with a stellar knowledge of English before going live?
It's not something from an official channel, but language alone is not enough to dismiss this. And it's not in Nokia's PR interest to announce things like this prominently. Don't expect any press releases or such.
As 90% of Facebook accounts are fraudulent (friend/"like" farms, etc), and most of the rest are either dupes or inactives, 1% is overwhelming response.
Of course, when Facebook is concerned there's only one valid vote, and it includes AdBlock and iptables -j REJECT.
Fortunately, i386 is gone: every non-embedded x86 CPU you can buy these days is amd64. Let's wait for the ancient register-starved monstrosity to die -- folks who want 32 bits can have x32 with none of the problems.
Or upload just hashes of segments of the recording, preferably signed and timestamped by a public server. The set of possible attacks is the same: a pre-recorded fake, a "suddenly broken" camera, and "oops, my disk broke and there are no backups".
That looked set up - looks like the cow was being starved and the bird trapped there by string.
Animal proteins are better and easier to digest than plant ones, even for herbivores. It's just that cows are so lousy hunters they know they shouldn't even try.
My relatives had a cow who kept breaking into the henhouse for a snack, despite having plenty of regular fodder.
Today Linux has suceeded it and can now scale to 64 processors.
With the 3 kernel Linux can scale to 512 processors.
Try bumping the setting and recompiling, m'kay?
Linux has had a journaling file-system [...]and even BtrFS to name a few.
Actually, btrfs doesn't use band-aids like a journal (except for the fsync log): copy on write means you don't need to write the same thing many times. Take a look at log-structured filesystems for an even cooler solution.
While mutt and alpine run circles around GUI clients, I use both mutt (via ssh) and thunderbird (via IMAP). The latter sits hidden (FireTray) serving as a glorified biff most of the time, but when you receive mail from business people, it's usually an image embedded in a Word document, or at the very least a pdf. This is where mutt fails.
I guess you haven't tried Vista UI. Most of its glaring deficiencies have been fixed in 7, but not all. Try for example something as basic as searching for a file by name. Or, using a scroller in the directory part of an "open file" dialog.
For cases where you already need those 14 characters, xkcd's way is far easier to remember for humans. Those 91 bits of entropy can be encoded either as 14*6.5 bit fully random ASCII, or stretched into several common words.
But my point is, you hardly ever need that much entropy. Reasons why have been posted quite a number of times in this discussion already.
the Romani are a race as defined by the European Commission on Human Rights
An ethnic Romani who does not have Romanipen is not considered to be Romani.
That's why I stressed the difference between romanipen (xenophobic ideology) and ethnicity.
Main article: Romanipen
The "romanipen" article in english wikipedia is a politically correct stub. If you want to stick to wikipedia, try for example the polish one -- still a stub but a bit longer.
When being black leads to higher chances of being convicted on the same evidence, higher prison sentences for the same crime, lower employment for the same qualifications, lower socio-economic status from the same start point,
Care to elaborate about that? Because what I see is that the ghetto gangs work hard to maintain these statistics, while civilized blacks don't differ from their civilized neighbours. It's just that in the US you have a bigger percentage of blacks having a ghetto mentality than the percentage of whites being so-called "white trash".
" A group whose ideology urges them to hate their neighbours has no place in a civilized society."
I agree. I suggest you leave then, and stop persecuting your Romani neighbors because of who their parents are.
If you can't comprehend the difference between ethnicity (ie, who your parents are) and ideology (ie, what you believe and what you follow), then this discussion is quite pointless.
Let's say it in simple words: ethnicity good, (this) ideology bad. (four legs...)
It's only weak passwords when you have access to the hash database what's broken. You can always throw in more characters to make brute-forcing take exponentially longer. And since some hashes have been proven to be NP-hard, there's nothing you can do better than brute-force them. No useful hash can be harder than NP, but I'd say that's good enough for me.
Also, in a majority of cases, if you can obtain password hashes, you may just take whatever was protected by that hash. Not always:for an encrypted file/etc that might be possibly fetched by an adversary, you'd better have a good password, 14 fully random characters at the very least[1]. But for accessing a remote account, no matter how important? 8 characters with decent entropy is more than enough. So what if your cluster can process a billion hashes per second -- the server won't accept more than a handful of authentication attempts in that second. Which can be further rate-limited, although total lockups would be abusable for a DoS.
[1]. The cluster in this article can do 77 million md5crypt attempts per second, let's assume our good hash takes as much time to calculate. That's 2^26.2. Fully random ASCII characters have 6.57 bits of entropy. Let's take a 14-character password, and 32 such clusters. Why 32? Because that drops the time required to 13.75 billion years, which is a quite familiar number.
Even if Moore's law will continue, 14 characters are going to last our lifetimes (fully random, not qwertyuiopasdf. XKCD has something to say about ease of memorization.). Ordinary people will write a sticker that says qwertyuiopasdf, of course, but that's a social rather than technical problem.
Another post full of pathetic drivel from another racist.
How is an IDEOLOGY a "race"?
You've got no statistics to back up your "follow romanipen" (totally made up) bullshit.
Here for example. From your tone I guess adding more references would be a waste of time.
Aside from the fact that widespread racism against blacks hasn't ended
Eh? Please show me any western country where racism against blacks isn't limited to a bunch of skinheads and other lowlifes not worth notice or spitting at? There might be some grumbling here and there, but nothing even close to full-blown discrimination we have plenty of examples elsewhere. This fight is mostly won.
they didn't need to be "rehabilitated"
Here's a dictionary: 3. rehabilitation -- (vindication of a person's character and the re-establishment of that person's reputation). Is there anything in this sense of the word related to the person or group being inferior in the first place?
you could just spout the same shit echoing the "all black men are rapists/ have low IQ" that was around in the 50s.
No, I don't. It's about CULTURE, not race or ethnicity. A group whose ideology urges them to hate their neighbours has no place in a civilized society.
Have you heard about a thing called "romanipen"? It's essentially "gadjas are not human, you should never steal from or cheat someone following romanipen but everyone else should be distrusted, and being not humans, crimes against them are not a bad thing".
Things are so bad that in Slovakia you have 80% unemployment among Romas (ethnicity not romanipen wise) while the general population has 7%. This is way more than could be explained by antiziganism, especially that legally no one can discriminate against Roma people, and they receive benefits from a number of Affirmative Action-like programs. An incarceration rate of 25 times that of the rest of the population is not a surprise, too.
For you US folks, the best comparison would be a rabid gang of black supremacists operating in a ghetto, punishing "traitors" for interacting with people of other races and beating "literary faggots" who try to get an education. And just like US blacks, civilized Romas often meet with hatred because of actions of others. Except that only a small minority of blacks are in gangs, while a majority of Romas follow romanipen. Widespread racism against blacks is fortunately a thing of the past, rehabilitation of Romas has only started.
If the maze consists of whole blocks that are either full (chance p) or empty (chance 1-p), then if I can remember correctly, you can go forever with probability 1 after leaving an initial region iff p < 0.5, and will be trapped with probability 1 iff p > 0.5.
This is different from this article that has either / or \, I'm way too rusty to prove it myself right now. Running a quick simulation is a way that doesn't require thinking, though.
How come? An ISP router shuffles packets from one layer 1/2 protocol to another (ATM, Ethernet,...), completely changing their encapsulation but not affecting the actual content. A TOR node shuffles packets from an encapsulated form to another, not affecting the content. What's the difference?

I'd say, it's more because TV itself is quickly becoming irrelevant.

If I had to click out a report on a virtual keyboard, I'd complain too. And touchscreens are not any better than that.
Stuff that scrolls off the screen is pushed out of memory and falls into the bit bucket. Only when the bit bucket gets full the program will crash.
