The real question is how were they able to truncate your password if they used a hash?
It's not impossible. Let's see one of possible scenarios when a user sign in using his/her long password:
(1) On the server side, generate the hash from user's input and check if it is matched with the stored hash in the database.
(2) If it is matched, continue the sign in process, and truncate the long password: take the first 16 chars of the long password input by the user, generate a new hash, update the old one, set a certain flag if necessary so that in the future only 16 chars are used to generate the hash to validate the login.
Might consider to write on notebook using invisible ink. You know, once they found nothing on the laptop, they will search on the notebook. Have to be prepared.

"Elvis is a superset of vi. It runs on more operating systems than vi, it is free, and you can obtain the source code. Elvis also has many new features.."
is it true? Haven't heard elvis before this... Personally, I like vi-style editing, and I like it more because vi is commonly available in *nix system. Somehow in my life experience, I never found any *nix system without vi.
mmm.. yes.. As I'm lack-of-superiority to drive people using other OS, my main reason to use vista is because it's what everybody using. Personally, I don't need vista for my main job. Working on computer-related department, I just feel uneasy if I can't help my friends when they ask me to troubleshoot their vista-specific problem only by phone. I have to know what vista looks like, the difference, similarity, kind of problems that might occurs only in vista, etc.. and I think it is not enough to know by just reviewing vista for a short time. I need to use it on daily basis.
I think the author just write on what's inside his mind, that's all. Except that might be the author have two personalities inside his mind?
Let' see from both articles:
A.In Pthreads, each object has its own data type (pthread_t, pthread_mutex_t, pthread_cond_t, etc.) while, in Windows threads, there is pretty much just the one type: HANDLE.
B.In Pthreads, each object has its own data type while in Win32 threads there is a mix of handles and separate types.
Which do you prefer? Pthread can be better than windows thread, windows thread can be better than Pthread.
What's your great weakness?
My great weakness is I don't have any weakness.
What is the goal of the 100 USD laptop? I thought it is to provide cheap laptop for poor country, so the people are not out of date with technology. If it is so, the project itself is not a failure.
It is true that the people in the developing country might need better facilities for living more than having fancy technology. IMO, the cheap laptop is part of the facilites needed, especially in the education matters.
Regarding of the copy right concern, I think it is just quite the same as taking the pictures by common digital camera, or maybe using video enabled digital camera.
I've just attended an IPS presentation by 3Com.. I don't see any difference what IPS does and common IDS. But imo, IPS is a kind of combination of firewall, anti virus, and anti spyware/mallware. Not really a great thing, but I like the marketing idea to introduce "the IPS". The very interesting part of the presentation was the lucky draw, with prize an Ipod shuffle.:)

Can we patch Vista by duct tape ?

however, I think it still takes years until the price is affordable for me. Besides, I'm still concerning the limited write cycles it has.
yeah, the source code is messy. That's why they never let the source code opened to public.
isn't slashdot already like that? anyone can participate sending news/articles. I think, the future trend will be community based news.
