I think global communications and the internet is making the world a smaller place. This means today francecanada is more like 1800 romesienna. And we are much less likely to hate, want to kill/destroy people we are friends with, know well and neighbor.
Think how many friends living in a different country your parents had. How about yourself? And I bet because of that attachment you are less likely to believe they are all evil and feel the desire to kill them all.
Also good old information helps a ton. 1700 propaganda was craazzzzy. A smaller chunk of the population today believes it because we are better informed (generally). This also lessens the chance of war. And is one of the terrifying issues with the great firewall of china.
Just so ya know Israel breaks more UN resolutions than Iraq did. Yet you give them billions to spend on guns and bombs. Infact they've bombed UN shelters. Try again.
Also the appreciation you felt isn't universal. That big symbol of victory and regime change, toppling saddam's statue, staged (dozens of iraqis at best not 1000s took part): http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion/185455
For a few years they just left a lump of cement with some rebar sticking up in place of Saddam. Eventually they replaced it with a crappy statue which was quickly graffittied (All done, now go home). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI4gM_jg5vQ
The vast majority of the Iraqi populace wants the US gone within 1 year (as of 2006). There are lots of other statistics (much more valuable than your experience) that show Iraqis don't want you there and never fucking did. http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/pdf/sep06/Iraq_Sep06_rpt.pdf
The title is 'releases source'... seems like a pretty frigging big difference. Also, apple is a trap. After you buy an apple product you need more apple only products and if you ever try and escape you'll need to replace every electronic in your house.
This is literally ALL on the web, you can't possibly be more open than that. I could open up chrome, goto full-screen mode and change a homepage. BLAM googleOS.
This is for gadgets at best. Likely it will be mainly used for embedded situations like... web machines in public places (lots of schools have them). And that is a place where being locked down is fine.
If this became a competitor to nix/doze/osx then I could see your complaint but they aren't in the same market man.
"You already remember multiple 8 character passwords, right?" Nope but i have a medical condition so I'm not sure how fair that is:P Having one long key that you use parts of for various sites is actually pretty cool. Insecure if a person is after you but offers a lot of protection vs bots which is the main concern anyways (99.9999%).
Average cracking time is a fraction of what bruteforce worst-case is. The average password isn't that secure. I remember with popular password lists you could get into many (30%) accounts in the first million guesses. Then you move to mutated dictionary attacks and that will get almost all of them in a few billion guesses. So it really is a lot less.
Today, Sinofsky seemed to be dumping that stance, and instead bragged not only how much faster IE9 would be, but also that its Acid3 score had improved. "We need to do a better job on Acid3," Sinofsky admitted. "We have made some improvements in IE9, which now scores 32 out of 100." IE8, he said, scored 24 out of a possible 100.
The Acid3 benchmark checks how closely a browser follows certain standards, particularly specifications for Web 2.0 applications, as well as standards related to DOM (Document Object Model), CSS2 (Cascading Style Sheets) and SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
Kinda sad you have a bunch of replies and no1 noticed they did talk about acid tests. (Ironically no, I did not RTFA but it was the first site that came up when I was looking up the IE8 acid3 test score.)
That's silly. ACID shows if something works or not. Benchmarks are speed tests that can be wildly inaccurate compared to real world testing. I mean it isn't like browsers are faking it (btw this is my browser: http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/acid3-465.png.. unlike most browsers its not en executable, just open it in any image viewing app) as graphics card companies have.
I don't think 100% is necessary mind you. I do think a passing grade is a good thing.
With the planned 60 PS3s assuming they brute force it and worst-case. It will take them:
At 8character passwords w/ letters and numbers only, 3.3hours.
Upper and lower case increase that figure to 10.5days. (With 9 characters 7.15years)
84character set brings us up to 119.5days.
Note: I just used x^8 which isn't totally accurate, the numbers in reality are a bit larger but it doesn't matter much.
This makes me wonder in case this is true. We are running up to a physical limitation in the human brain. People already have trouble memorizing the dozens of 8character passwords. 9 characters will hold moores law off for a few more years (not the precise meaning of moores law but you know what i mean). The problem is also that people are getting more accounts for things. Most people even today use the same passwords for a variety of things. I'd say almost all people.
So I ask the/. crowd are there any good alternatives to passwords that are feasible? Something secure. Something that can be implemented on websites. What do you think we should be working towards? Is there already something in place that you can give an example of?
Slashdot Mirror
if the code had something like:
#ifdef UNLOCKED
CATCH_FIRE=TRUE
#endif
Hell is supposed to be constant hellfire... Taking that it is pretty friggen unlikely that it will be cold.
Unless you were saying that Texas is worse than hell which may or may not be true.
Only comes in white. (Black Stallion edition to be released in 2011 for 3x the price)
I KNOW I couldn't throw that on the back of a truck.
/. has grown to despise on idle(why does it still exist?), how did it escape onto real /.?
Seriously though this is the shit

I sent mine in but its been pending for 16months. Pretty sure they'll disallow it because the UI doesn't match nicely.

I imagine they would be more like cellphones with giant screens and keyboards....
.... all that will be integrated.
The motherboard, ram, cpu/gpu
So think...
cellphone
+ biggerscreen
+ case
+ biggerkeyboard
- touch(probably)
- portability(big savings)
- carrierBS(a lot)
- phone capabilities

Man you must have aids or something no one was willing to highfive you over half an hour.
I said alternative to passwords... Something that you rarely see outside of ssh and the likes.

Nah after XP there was a huge gap and then Windows 7 came out with NOTHING INBETWEEN.
You can with javascript? It should be added to css though... probably not to html. Sooo nothing to do with the article :P

This guy amuses me: http://www.darkreading.com/blog/archives/2009/01/how_hackers_wil.html?cid=ref-true :(
He suggests hackers can hit 1billion passwords a second. I seriously want that hackers setup
