  1. Re:What are the common factors? on Mystery Malware Affecting Linux/Apache Web Servers · · Score: 1

    Supposedly, infected servers that are rebuilt become re-infected with no obvious sign of infection leading some to believe that root passwords were compromised for those servers.

  2. Yeah sure on How We Might Have Scramjets Sooner than Expected · · Score: 1

    Doubt the US will tolerate > mach 1 anytime soon over the us. People will be pissed. The concorde, which flies, err flew over mach 2, couldn't accelerate until they were like 50 miles out over the ocean or something like that (50 miles probably isn't the right distance but too lazy to look it up!)

  3. Re:In a perfect world on Gates Expresses Surprise Over IE8 Secrecy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    He specifically said pages served in xhtml.

    Very, very few pages are served this way, it's usually text/html.

    Xhtml is suppose to break!

  4. Re:Pricing, What About SLI/CrossFire? on New Password Recovery Technique Uses CPU and GPU Together · · Score: 1

    Rainbow tables are great if they're using an incredibly weak password. This could help to crack harder passwords, but unfortunately any decent password is still nowhere in the country where the building housing the vicinity of cracking good passwords is located. Speeding up the brute force attack of a 20,25+ character password by a factor of 25 doesn't really make a difference.

  5. Re:Maybe this stems from... on Vista Runs Out of Memory While Copying Files · · Score: 1

    I use the excellent program Copy Handler for my copying needs. I highly recommend you give it a try!

  6. Re:Windows Product Activation? on Windows XP SP3 Build 3205 Released w/ New Features · · Score: 1
  7. Salt on Ophcrack Says Your Password Is Insecure · · Score: 1

    Can anybody tell me why Vista STILL doesn't salt their passwords?

    /screw backwards-compatibility -- can you just stop sucking for once?

  8. Re:Possibly down in one piece. on Steve Fossett Missing · · Score: 1

    Even after I got my private, I still filed VFR flight plans. That is, however, until I discovered flight following; don't think I've followed one since! But yeah, not telling literally anybody where you plan on going, even if it's "to the west to work on manuevers or something" is a pretty retarded idea. Also, don't know about you, but if I were going down I'd switch the damned ELT to "on" if I was in that remote of an area. Though who knows what actually happened.

  9. Re:Yuk on Beautiful Code Interview · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I should have definitely made myself more clear on that post! The first part was the "beautiful code" that we provided in one of the examples. The latter was me fixing it.

    Never have I seen of a love for slashies greater than those farkers over at Fark.com

  10. Yuk on Beautiful Code Interview · · Score: 1
    Found in the examples:

    if (/GET \/ongoing\/When\/\d\d\dx\/(\d\d\d\d\/\d\d\/\d\d\/[ ^ .]+) /)
    Okay, how in the hell is that "beautifull?"

    if ($_ =~ m|GET /ongoing/When/\d{3}x/(\d{4}/\d{2}/\d{2}/[^ .]+) |)
  11. Re:Altitude? on Inside FAA's GPS-Based Air Traffic Control · · Score: 1

    Yes, but altimeters still aren't that accurate at high altitudes. Don't you remember the whole RVSM thing?

  12. Re:Firefox no longer safe? on Holes Remain Open in Firefox Password Manager · · Score: 1

    I would give Keepass a look if you want a phenomenal password organizer. It's auto-type feature is unparalleled!

  13. Re:Don't be afraid to try Kubuntu; I did. Here's h on Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring Released · · Score: 1

    You could also just `sudo chown {username}:{usergroup} -R /home` to fix the issue w/o all the fuss...

  14. Chunks not the entire song on Faster P2P By Matching Similiar Files? · · Score: 1

    They are talking about the chunks being the same, not the entire song. If you had a massive lookup table for md5's or something you could easily get a listing of every(body| torrent) that has the chunk you are looking for. Good idea but sounds quite difficult to maintain.

    Note: didn't RTFA ;)

  15. Cheops-NG on Managing Lots of IP Addresses? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I like Cheops-ng, though I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for. Also, I wouldn't run it during peak business hours -- don't wanna clog those tubes ;)

  16. Re:Already exists...CAT III autopilot systems on Remote Control To Prevent Aircraft Hijacking · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well technically you use autothrottles, which is a form of autopilot I guess. And at 500' (YMMV) you switch on the autopilot anyways. So it's damn close.

  17. Re:It was only 9 megs on Digital Big Bang — 161 Exabytes In 2006 · · Score: 1

    There is an extension for Firefox that lets you use your gmail account as an online storage database. This makes it quite realistic to use up all of your space. Enjoy ;)

  18. Re:On the other hand... on 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 1

    Well they're not going to have something like this just shown by default. If you click on the Add Programs (or w/e booted into Win atm) you can add it with, what, three clicks of the mouse.

  19. Re:Wow. on iPods to be Used as Flight Data Recorders · · Score: 1

    You forgot to mention spying on the pilots and using it (indirectly of course) to get them into trouble.

    Not that it matters, I can pull your keys for a lot of programs if i feel the need to.

  22. Re:nLite on DIY Service Pack For Windows 2000/XP/2003 · · Score: 1

    Are you using a restore CD or something? If you want to know why most of the OEMs don't have to activate, just meander over to the link I posted above and there is a link towards the top that will describe how it all works. Cheers!

  23. Re:nLite on DIY Service Pack For Windows 2000/XP/2003 · · Score: 1

    Dell OEM eh, can I interest you in an addon or two that will automatically and legally activate your version of XP for you... forever! Just a quick google search or two for some vlk keys and you're golden ;). Or... maybe you already have some, who knows? Enjoy!

  24. Re:Imaginary Numbers on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 1

    Now I am the last person that should be replying to you, and I'm wasted so it makes it even worse :/, but AFAIK imaginary numbers are considered "satisfactory" because during certain situations they can cancel each other other, therefore the "imaginary" equation becomes a real value. Once again it's been like 5 1/2 years since I've done math so.... (grain of salt)

  25. Re:Not a charity - easy to do on Russia Agrees To Shut Down AllOfMP3.com · · Score: 1

    You seem to be confused, you think that the artists get money from the current RIAA approved online distribution system?
