  1. Re: For work I use really bad passwords on Cracking Passwords With Statistics · · Score: 2

    I used to have a favourite keygen (for some obscure program, I don't recall which), I would use the webpage address as the name & whatever key it spit out would be my password.

    I have no idea why I stopped doing this ... I may start again :)

    Yeah, I've never been, but it's on the rather long list of places I'd like to visit if I'm ever adopted by a rich, but terminally ill uncle ...

    Nah, you can always use a USB to PS/2 adapter - I found a supplier that sells them cheap!

    Here it is again, bolded for emphasis:

    In the US, on average, 61,6 acres.

    Considering the comma is a thousands separator in the US, surely he meant 61,600 or perhaps 61,600,000 acres.

  16. Re:I do not trust you! on Google and Microsoft Plan Kill Switches On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Who, Google and Microsoft? I don't trust them either, but I didn't think either was responsible for catching, prosecuting or punishing criminals ... Did you mean the carriers? Phone cops?

  17. Re:What about a kill switch for Google and Microso on Google and Microsoft Plan Kill Switches On Smartphones · · Score: 0

    So, making money off you is now more evil than turning your data over to a government that can (and has an alleged history of) make(ing) you* disappear? Interesting.

  19. Re:Answer: Both on Google To Take On Apple's CarPlay · · Score: 1

    Grishnakh's first post came across a little trollish (I don't think that was his intention), but his point was completely valid. The typical Android user isn't running cyanogenmod (too bad, because it's great IME), nor (in the US) using a phone that they bought outright to use on a carrier that gave no discount for BYOD (disclaimer: I am not a typical Android user either). The typical Android user is using whatever device VZW/ATT/Sprint/TMO talked them into getting and likely got no significant OS updates ever in the 1-2+ years they owned it. Contrast this with Apple (disclaimer: I hate IOS) users where their devices generally receive the latest updates. It's a ball that has been traditionally dropped.

  20. Re:Oh, good on Wikipedia Forcing Editors To Disclose If They're Paid · · Score: 1

    Yeah, he meant on their assertion that "Assad and Syria were proven to have used Sarin on it's own population" you should have appended it with [citation needed]. Would have thought a Wikipedia editor would have gotten that one ...

    Unfortunately I've already commented elsewhere in this thread, so I can't mod +1 informative, but I appreciated reading about your use-case. I've considered one myself but did not anticipate getting this much use out of it.
