I would advise against your method, because you just reduced the search space for anyone wanting to get in from millions of possibilities to just 160 different passwords. Having a list with your actual password on it makes it pretty easy to brute-force.
Same goes with an earlier suggestion of having your passwords on a slip of paper in your wallet but not indicate which passwords are for what. Very easy to brute force.
I say yes, sabotage the botnet with friendly worms/bots. The owners of the infected computers don't know about the problem, don't care or don't know how to fix it.
I say vigilante action is okay, to protect ourselves (the people in the know adminning the networks and computers being attacked).
Bah, XSan is *not* enterprise ready. When I was deploying it for a customer we discovered that the version of XSan we were using was totally incompatible with ACLs. The setup the customer wanted really required ACLs (regular unix permissions weren't flexible enough) and so we ended up switching off the XSan and using them as regular file systems.
Although without ACLs, yes, XSan is pretty nice. And it's true, XServe RAID with XSan is very nicely priced compared to setups from IBM and Dell, etc.
Except that if there are no more innovators and daredevils left, this will mean a slowing of progress. You always need people who are willing to go out on a limb to risk their own lives as test pilots and stuff. If all these people are weeded out, who is going to test fly new airplanes and stuff like that?
You forget that heavily taxing the fuel is hard for the economic growth of a country too. The whole transport sector will suffer and prices of all goods will increase. This is a tricky balance; fuel taxes cannot be taxed indiscriminately.
Unfortunately it was the only way to play a lot of WMV files. VLC and MPlayer do not correctly play a lot of these files. I hope that I will be able to in the future. There are a lot of.wmv files floating around, and it would suck not being able to watch them on a Mac.

That's hilarious, but if they don't derive any more income from speeding tickets they'll just increase taxes on petrol or road taxes. Politicians are always going on about increasing safety on the road. Increasing taxes is always an option if one source of income dries up.
Yeah, indeed. On the awesome British car show 'Top Gear', they actually used a 747 with 2 engines running at full power and pushing 2 cars into the airflow. Both cars flipped many times and it was quite clear that the jet vs taxi myth is confirmed, even though it failed on the show.
Yeah, the article isn't very good unfortunately. But I guess no one with the adequate knowledge has taken on the article to make it better. It does sort of summarize what the Tier 1 ISPs do, though.
Tier 1 are the huge ISPs, which peer with eachother (and don't pay eachother transit fees) and sell transit services to smaller ISPs (which do pay fees to send traffic through the Tier 1 ISPs). So yeah, bandwidth wholesalers is pretty accurate. See this wikipedia article.
I sent them a comment and got a "helpful" reply back.
My comment:
I can't seem to add jabber users that have accounts on other servers. The request doesn't arrive at their client. And neither can they add my google jabber account... is this by design? (I thought all jabber users could chat with jabber users on other servers).
And got the reply:
Hello,
Thank you for your message.
If you'd like to add new friends, follow these steps:
For contacts in your Friends list:
1. Scroll over your friend's name, and click 'invite.' 2. Verify your friend's email address in the dialogue box that appears, and click 'Next.' 3. Choose to send a standard invitation to your friend, or customize the message by entering text in the text field.
*If your friend does not have a Gmail email address, an invitation to create an account will be sent with the invitation to Google Talk. Invitations you send through Google Talk are deducted from your available Gmail invitations. 4. Click 'Next.' 5. Click 'Finish' in the dialogue box that appears confirming that your friend was invited.
For contacts not in your Friends list:
1. Click 'Add friend' at the bottom of your Friends list. 2. In the 'Add:' field, enter the email address of the friend you'd like to add. - If you'd like to add more than one friend at a time, just make sure to separate their email addresses with commas. - If the friends you'd like to invite are listed in your Gmail Contacts list, click 'Choose from my contacts...' after clicking 'Add friend.' 3. Click 'Next >>' after you've entered all the friends you'd like to invite. 4. A dialogue box will appear to confirm that your friends were invited to Google Talk. Click 'Finish.'
Remember, to talk with your friends, they need to have Gmail addresses. If you invite a friend who doesn't have a Gmail address to download Google Talk, he or she will be able to create a Gmail account.
Each time you add new contacts in Google Talk, they're also added to your Gmail Contacts list, and vice-versa. Keep in mind that removing or blocking someone from your Google Talk Friends list does not affect your Gmail Contacts list.
Sincerely,
The Google Team
WTF? Thats not what I asked, was it?
I seriously hope they'll add this... They're all about interoperability, but they'll only talk to their VOIP partners.
Yeah, Jabber has server2server capabilities, but for some reason, Google has switched this off. In other words, I cannot add anyone with a jabber.org (for example) account to my Google Talk jabber account. You can only chat to other Google Talk users. I'm a little dissapointed by this step. Perhaps they will open it up in the future.
I'm curious: how does it work in regular helicopters anyways? The left side will always have more lift than the right side during forward flight (assuming clockwise rotation). How is this compensated for? I would imagine it slanting/leaning to one side if it wasn't compensated.
Awesome... maxing out my connection at 610 KB/sec. I love BitTorrent...
Now if only the editors weren't so lazy and would set up a slashdot tracker for this sort of stuff. I'm sure they could fix it so slashcode downloaded the movie, made a torrent for it, using the slashdot tracker, and then replaced the link to the movie with a torrent file, or else added a link to the torrent file in the blurb.
Yes, I second that. This is a very good book. Available as an audiobook too, for listening during the commute to work (which is how I "read" the book).
I haven't read the book recommended by the grandparent, but maybe I'll check it out.

Insightful reply. Wish I had mod points, I'd mod you up. :-)

Do you think you'll ever run out of myths to test?
BTW love the show, keep up the good work!

Many people here in Europe pay over $5.60 per gallon nowadays. We wish we had $3.00 per gallon prices.

Uh... no... since the Touareg looks anything but like a VW Beetle: VW Touareg. :-)
Why would you run Doom 3 under Wine when there is a native Doom 3 client available for Linux? Or is it just another case of 'just because we can'? :-)
