I've heard that you can still recover items burnt to a large degree (think big military groups doing this). Best method is to burn it, then add it and water to a mortar and pestle.
The other alternative my crypto lecturer suggests is to shred then eat everything...
Really, 12 million hashes out of a space of 2^128 is truly miniscule.
Considering the average persons password, and the fact a large number of applications wouldnt use salts, I'd say you'd be able to crack a good 3/4 of the passwords out there. In fact, 12 million is a damn side larger than I'd expect is needed for password 'auditing'. Never underestimate the amount of craptacular passwords out there.
A few people did diffs on early kernels and all that was changed was the timestamp. IIRC not a single other bit was changed. This fueled a bit of debate for a while, but I think it's generally acknowledged that it's all above board now.
What do you mean they are still nowhere? True, you cant use an entirely Haiku system just yet, but there are many many components which are easily usable right now. Translators are more plentiful, recreations of standard apps are there (with improvements), mail kit is usable, netstack is usable and IIRC media and print kits are in some stages of usability.
Major milestones in the last few months have included building GCC on the Haiku kernel as well as starting up Tracker (equivalent of Explorer) in a graphical environment on real hardware.
So yes, they are not usable right now, but they are not "still NOWHERE".
Try Darik's-boot-and-nuke, pretty damn easy especially if you set it up to auto wipe things on boot. Last time I tried it there was next to no user intervention needed (And that was a while back). http://dban.sourceforge.net/
This will effect the 'jock' market precisely dick. It's shiny, new, and is a version increase of 359. Most of the casual market will have no idea what HD DVD is or that it will obsolete their new console.
If you wish to manufacture Blu-Ray discs, you must buy a new machine. Of course, we are told, if it is cheaper to manufacture HD-DVDs than Blu-Ray discs because you don't have to buy new machines, then the discs will be cheaper for the consumer as well. Hooray for trickle-down economics!
Reminds me of once reading that CDs were initially priced relatively high so that the industry could recoup its initial outlay. However, the price never ended up decreasing; Hey, if you have a boatload of people already buying at those prices why do you need to reduce them?
Interesting sidenote anyway. (I'm a Blu-ray guy myself).
Right, 14.95 a month.
Assuming 180000 subscribers thats (ripped from some random webpage) $2,691,000 a month.
Since this is comparable to the cost of an actual superhero a month why dont we all band together and buy slashdot an enforcer of justice or evil, whatever your personal preference. Hell, for just one more month you could have both. Combine that with the recent craze for reality tv and you have something a little more exciting...

Palm wont let the source out, no. But unfortunately for them the deal was signed _before_ Palm became involved, hence they have no say in the matter. At least that's what I've read. Waiting to see the results of the release in any case.
With a small community like the BeOS one you cant afford to just sit back and take the wait and see attitude. There's a shitload riding on the success of YellowTab. Get out there and try some things with Zeta/BeOS/Haiku, support the devs, have some fun:)
Dont mean to pick on you in particular, but I got this far down the page and got sick of idiots bitching. If YellowTab didnt have the source legally, do you really think that Palm would let them sell it this openly? Sure, there were a few people that were selling on a small scale there own personally modifications to R5 or even Dano. But seriously...
Anyway, have a look at some of the changes they've made. It seems to indicate very strongly that they would have _required_ the sources. There's a limit to what binary patching can do.
There does exist a subtle comfort benefit in Dvorak. If you dont have access to ergonomic keyboards or are just too stingey then I'm willing to bet that Dvorak would be quite nice. It's really difficult to pinpoint what it is about it, but when you have to go back to Qwerty you find yourself thinking 'Sweet Jesus this is an awkward layout'.
I've been using Dvorak since christmas and to tell you the truth it was a little difficult getting started and learning it. Took me a good month to get into the basics of it (I didnt really push myself to be fair). Only now about 6 months on am I comfortable switching back between the two.
Takes about 2 or 3 minutes to get fully into the other keyboard map, but after that I'm pretty fine. Though, the interesting this is that I _can not_ use a keyboard labelled with the other keyset. I know that I can do it in _theory_ and I dont look at the keys. But put me in front of my dvorak in a qwerty prompt (or vice versa) and I'm boned.
At the end of the day, it's a damn good keymapping to use, but you really do have to want to either change or want to piss off those who use your keyboard;)
Ouch, think about a DRM controlled whiteboard. Logical extension: "Im sorry, you cannot use generic word X as it is a trademark of company Y". Company controlled educational content... *shudder*
Ahh, so now we can choose our own personal good and bad guys in the patent wars? Whoever wins in the courtroom we all lose in real life regardless of what side you take.
I think you're being overly defensive and quite frankly arent seeing the larger problem. The code you mentiond isnt really going to be expected to run on some random platform due to the need for at least parts of them to rely on system specific capabilities (hell, Linux _is_ the system).
The problem is more that people believe the entire world consists of Linux, and nothing but Linux. Therefore, they neglect basic portability principles because they are either lazy or consider themselves to be amongst the chosen few who are to deliver the OS of the gods to the heathens.
Wake up to yourself, the example I gave illustrated a point you could probably take good note of. I helped created a game engine, shitty as it may have been, that ran on,
fully/partial/non posix systems
Uptodate, reasonably current, and fairly old systems
Used a wide variety of system functionality
Yet this ran perfectly under all systems. It's not as difficult as everyone will make you think. Try it yourself instead of hanging around slashdot trying to make yourself look intelligent by dropping names the rest of the readership will instantly mod you up for.
I agree with the sloppy coding call. A while back I was writing a (failed) 2D game engine, complete with networking, sound and everything. It compiled and ran fine on Windows, Linux and BeOS with bugger all effort on the part of the two of us coders. I mean seriously, most major libraries are cross platform now so if your code doesnt at the very least compile and make a reasonable attempt at running you should be castrated.
Oh yeah, you could gain those things, or like 3/4 laptop users I know you could kill your windows installation. I mean seriously, it has a lot of good features but you'd expect QA to catch something as massive as that...
How about using a vanilla PC with a removable HDD bay. Grab a copy of Darik's boot and nuke from here. Set a few options on the boot disk and get it to run automatically when booted, set floppy as boot device. Now you can just whack in any HDD through the enclosure, power on, and it'll nuke itself automatically. Advantage of using lesser and more common hardware.
Finally, neural networks do a very simple and basic operation, typically they associate a numerical value with another numerical value.
But so much can be modelled with numerical values. To state it like above implies a huge limitation. Im a relative novice to things such as these but I was able to easily construct a NN which recognised handwritten digits in images with ~90% success rate. While it did in reality map a great deal of numbers to other numbers, both the input numbers and output numbers had a great deal of meaning.
Out of curiosity, are you able to say why the networks dont scale well? Or what sort of sizes NN's become unsuitable?
Slashdot Mirror
For some reason all I could think of after that was the phrase 'Internet Explorer and CSS Support'... (That said, I still mainly agree with the idea).

Apparently it has pretty much everything in it. Java though, so it's not for the extreme performance peopel.

At least they'll have a few years installation/misc headroom to make sure it all works before Longhorn is released.

It's a freaking fun OS. Even had my linux loving hippy of a flatmate saying "Wow, that was easy" once. Though I'm sure he'll deny it to the end.
