" That's 15 million years to brute force, on average; what duration are you looking for?"

My 15-character password would take 157 billion years to crack.

Your 15 million years is a laugh.

"7,776 English words"

So, less than 1/40th of the English Language.

What a short surface for a dictionary attack.

Slashdot needs to get some real people with REAL technical capability on-board. Timothy obviously can't figure out that HughPickens.com is a complete fucking idiot that can't determine whether or not the stories are worth a fuck for reporting (plus, the fag is shilling in his username alone.)

350 million people disagree with you. /shrug.

You obviously don't have much experience in this area.

You can put money on two things

- this will be used to deny service to blacks (safe bet, as it already has been).

- that will not go over well, in a burn the place down sort of way.

And, at that point, it will probably be thrown out in court or amended out of existence by the legislature.

Most hotel and convention contracts (and, I have dealt with such) have enough wiggle room in the "Force Majeure" clauses that they will be able to void them. (IANAL, and TINLA.) However, it is the deposits that would be at risk; they could be soaked up in fees, etc., as could things like hotel commission payments for the last meeting. For a sufficiently large meeting on an annual cycle, there is generally no or almost no time where there is not money either deposited or owed; those payments would be at risk.

To say more, you would need to know just what the contracts said, and those are generally not made public.

Up to eight cores only?

That's fucking useless with my 192 threads and 37,000+ GPU cores.

BS. I've worked with all the different vendors out there and I call BS on "double the failure rate". Apple/Macs are pretty much on par with any other tier 1 PC manufacturer. They've had some problem children, they've had some workhorses. But don't spread lies about a 100% greater failure rate.

Actually, that's not the case.

See, for my purposes, 7 is still superior to 8. Example - RDP7 connection to a hyper-V server using RemoteFX - 3D applications get DOUBLE the performance versus using RDP8.

Hoping 10 fixes this, but it doesn't seem likely due to how Microsoft changed how things got handled.

"But it is not like the serious drought happening now is a surprise to anyone."

Yep, it's cyclic, and we're just hitting the peak. This will change in about 4 years. Too late for much of anything to be done. Sure we're only NOW trying to build desalination plants, but you can bet that water is going to the rich people with lawns and pools to maintain.

Yea, no. Just about every lettuce type has little crevices you are not reaching to wash without breaking the entire thing apart.

We've had OAMM encoding and transmission of data for a while, usually coupled with quadrature amplitude modulation.

I've heard of slashdot being slow, but by at least THREE YEARS? That's got to be a new record.

Maybe you guys should start reading Nature Photonics.

All I can say is, I hope his checks cashed.

"This "shell game" fiction happens to be the truth of the matter and historically has always been held up by the courts."

Wrong, and the state of California has quite often said "Uh, no, you've improperly classified your employees as independent contractors" using a set of criteria, all of which not necessarily needs to be met, for the standard of 'employee' versus 'contractor' to be determined.

Papa John's tried your same logic - that their customer hired the driver to deliver the pizza, not the employee (hence delivery charges.)

That failed miserably.

I guess you fail to understand that, and thus your intelliectual dishonesty shows.

You probably generate and transmit more procedural data versus a video stream, sorry to break it to you. You also introduce lag, which many of us don't like (and this would suck balls for those using sign language to communicate via video chat.)
