Your're absolutly right! I know people in most cases think "what's the probability of two users with the same password getting the same hash?", but I would never think that on withe the size of wiki!
I can't really say I get what this person publishing this info was thinkig...
Well.. IIS isn't _bad_ as in "WindowsME-bad", but it still sucks. Maybe not at all things, but not overall.
The only reason they (read:M$) developed it, and still do, is that they needed to have their own webserver. It's not like they had a product to cover the needs that apache couldn't...
Offtopic: The "confirm you're not a script" really sucks. I have to put on my glasses. Even then my chances to get it right is like 1 to 42...
You got a point there. Seeing that I'm from europe, it may be hard for me to gasp the way the US market works, but this idea would definitly be dead within a week over here.
It's really weird when you come to think about it. Ifyou look at what groups of people in the world that is the most conservative, you see that these groups also is the ones to start all the stuff that no one else in the world would dare to do.
On the other side though. If games actually impressed the females, think about how kickass you could be at this restaurant after a few minutes on google with the keywords "cheat +for pong"...
"The entire school has been affected. Some of the information is more sensitive than others,"
Besides the social security number, I can't really say I see the reason for anyone to retrive this kind of data.
I know that most people feel uncomfortable with the feeling that someone got their entire student/employee history, but I can't see the harm in it either.
I really cannot see how a serious 3rd party company (well hopefully that _is_ what it is) can get away with such a thing.
One would think that if a company looses a larg customers data during a transit, or if the misplace it, they would have to answer to themselves.
At least we should question the company owning the data when they just shrugs about it whereabouts.
"frozen light", "optical computer", "ultra-cold atoms", "slow light". Are they just stealing fancy words for old things from star-trek?
"captain we don't have the power"
"no problem. we'll just fazer out those ultra-cold atoms with a frozen light. Should be a walk in the park"
I agree! I have yet to see one of these so called great new ideas work for the common person, without having to pay a greatly overpriced fee.
Everytime one of these idea-making companies makes a revolutionary new concept, they simultaniously incorporates it, so that no one else can use the cheap technology at a cheap fee.

That settles it! Kind-of-happy birthday OpenSSH!? ...maybe
Just wait till you get some famous people's phone number then, and we'll be able to check it as well ;)

In other words.. Still no reason to go for IIS over apache?

"The Motion Picture Association of America estimates that it loses $3.5 billion in potential worldwide revenue because of movie piracy."
Surely the can't expect that their raids of arrests will provide them with more sales.
Where they thinking that as long they're already on the red number side, they could just buy themselves some police forces?
I think it would be wise to rethink this.
Is it the e-mail that makes people dumber, or dumb people that uses e-mail?
Look at this from the bright side.

Things could get pretty interresting the 19th of February 2038
I bet i kinda sucks to have to go around half frozen looking for a 64-bit CPU supporting your ancient unix-box

I think what the creators in this case wanted to find out had nothing to do with science.. It's more like: If you can't get a chick. Make one!
