You don't need to seed a single byte to get the IPs of everyone on a torrent. Just ask the tracker/DHT network, and it willingly gives away all info about seeders/peers. This is by design, as torrents were never intended to be used for illegal means.

As an example of thorough work done by a real design agency, here is a 90-page PDF style guide from the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. (Not in English, but the images should speak for themselves.)

You won't get anything comparable for $250 on 99designs.

Have timing measurements ever been exploited online in practice? I would assume that over the internet, any difference in timing would get drowned out in the timing noise of a dozen routers, switches, heck, even possibly cable quality - making any reliable measurement impossible.

Server=.\WinCC;uid=WinCCConnect;pwd=2WSXcder (+1 for what appears to be a reasonably random looking password

Only random looking. Glance down at your keyboard as you type in that password.

If you're talking about VAC-banning then you're just factually incorrect. If not then I'd be interested to know of an example, because I've never heard of somebody's entire Steam account being banned. Phished, perhaps, but not banned.

Google "disabled Steam account". They ban people for various things, mostly related to billing issues. If you want to experience it yourself, try purchasing something with a credit card, then dispute the charge. Poof, no more account.

They might have a slight point if the stuck accelerator problem actually was caused a software problem.

But since the problem has been shown to be a floor mat, or, in some other cases, a faulty mechanical design, what does this article have to do with anything?

Just turn off the pagefile.

Windows can't page when it doesn't have a pagefile. Problem solved. At least it works for me.

I haven't tested Windows 7 yet, but I was always annoyed that XP seemed quite fond of prioritizing disk cache over background applications. Every time after I had been playing a game, my web browser/email client would be slow as molasses because it was completely swapped out and it would take minutes before it went back to normal speed. So I did the one thing that a lot of people think is some kind of blasphemy.

I turned off swap.

And never looked back. I don't have to worry about disk trashing when changing between programs anymore, the whole system feels faster and I've never run out of memory, despite only having 3GB. Something was definitely flawed in the XP memory management.

There are nearly as many computers in the real world using SDRAM and DDR SDRAM as there are using computers using DDR2 or DDR3.

They are also owned by people/companies that would rather buy a new system instead of adding more RAM.

Yes, it's Google's problem that you don't know how to use robots.txt.

Bull. Shit.

My Xbox hasn't been online in months and I have both installed and played games from the drive while it was offline. Try again.

Why would you want the double-precision version? Crypto is all about integer math.

I modified code from this SHA1 cracker. Good enough evidence?

My 8800GT gets about 100 million passwords per second when cracking MD5 and SHA1 hashes. I thought the CELL was supposed to make the PS3 faster?

All the things you specified are software based, and as others have already said, you can get the source of that right now.
