  1. Re:worth 4 tenths of a cent per share? on A Coveted Landing Strip for Google's Founders · · Score: 1

    Hey! 4/10 of a cent is still money! Being wasteful never made anyone rich (apart from these guys, apparently)!

    I don't know what this "backslashdot" you speak of is, but it sounds bad.

    One of us doesn't know how Rainbow Tables work, because I have my mixalpha-numeric md5 DVDs right here. 30 GB with probability of 99.56% of cracking an md5 hash of length 7.

    > And unlike Python you can, you know, use indents to mark up the code instead of placating the language's wishes.

    Ah, but can you write blocks of code without block termination sequences? You know, ifs without endifs, like in Python? I THOUGHT NOT!

    Seriously though, marking blocks with indentation is great. In every piece of code that matters (i.e. is not art or for fun) you are going to indent your code, so also terminating the block with statements is superfluous.

  7. Re:So... on Ophcrack Says Your Password Is Insecure · · Score: 1

    Okay, every md5 hash whose original input was under 7 characters and in the alpha-numeric-space-special range. But, I guess I answered my own question, it adds 5ish characters to the password so a 7 character password becomes 12 chars, and thus not breakable (unless it's an LM hash, which is retarded anyway).

  8. Re:So... on Ophcrack Says Your Password Is Insecure · · Score: 1

    LC has supported Rainbow Tables since version 5 IIRC. Also, how would salts work on this? If you stored EVERY md5 hash (which is what rainbow tables do), then you've stored the salt as well. You'll just get "saltpassword" as the retrieved password, won't you?

    Man, you did not just use a regular expression when telling people to get girlfriends. Tell me that's not it.

    Man, from now on I'll refer to the meter as "decifemtolightyear". If my calculations are correct, I'm patenting it!

  13. Re:Opera on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    You need to install a few plugins before it'll get to that stage. The one you're looking for now is called tabsrmm. You should also install popups, a customizable away system, smileys, modern contact list, variables... I think that's it...

    Man, I used to love Trillian until I switched to Miranda. There were things I wished Trillian would have, Miranda lacks NOTHING. It takes about a day to customize it fully, but when you do, it's the IM client to end all others.

    Hats off to NSIS for being a full-blown installer with some 40 KB overhead. I worship its having delivered me from the clutches of the evil InstallShield (remember when apps were 50KB and the setup 2 MB?) Justin Frankel is a genius.

    Damn, I just upgraded my 4 year old PC to a quad core, so I missed all the speed changes :/ Maybe I should run it on my old PC just to wonder at how fast it is.

  17. Re:Bookmarks? Pff on A Preview of Opera 9.5 · · Score: 1

    Exactly the same reason, exactly the same complaint. Even though I love the Opera way of feeds, it's just better to have them locally and not have to keep a tab open all the time (the Opera "lock tab" feature helps with that, at least).

  18. Bookmarks? Pff on A Preview of Opera 9.5 · · Score: 1

    I don't really use bookmarks that much (even though with this I might start to). What I really want is can we please please PLEASE have RSS sync? Please?

  19. Re:That's not a comparation !! on Comparing Visual Studio and Eclipse · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of an incident in Feynman's "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman" (great book), where he was called to review schoolbooks, and some reviewers had grades for books that hadn't been delivered yet. Similarly, slashdotters post about the article's comparison when the article doesn't even compare anything.

    Oh, wait, that includes me...
