No, very weak is "hjdmib". He a bit more than doubled the characters that needed to be searched. Obviously, throwing a few symbols in there would be nice, and even better would be some bytes outside of the domain of ASCII, but hey, you can't have it all. Though really, why not use "H3y Jud3, d0n't m4k3 11 b4d"? It has almost all of that, plus a good length.

Submission + - Google Browser Sync To Be Discontinued

Dude With An Afro writes: What could have been a great Google project is now history. For those of you who never used it, Google Browser Sync was a Firefox extension that synchronized your bookmarks, web history, browser sessions and passwords across multiple computers by temporarily saving them to Google's servers. According to the Google Browser Sync team: "It was a tough call, but we decided to phase out support for Browser Sync. Since the team has moved on to other projects that are keeping them busy, we don't have time to update the extension to work with Firefox 3 or to continue to maintain it." For all of those who fell in love with Google's Browser Sync, our only hope now is to resort to poorly maintained 3rd party extensions without Google's blessing.

This article is confused and makes all sorts of horrible assumptions. In short, the author seems to believe that the only way people make money off free software by adding "differentiating" proprietary software to it. Since the whole point of the GPL is to prevent people from making the software under its purview non-free, it shouldn't really be surprising, then, that the author finds it a huge pain in the neck. Personally, I'd say the license is a success, and I suspect a lot of the companies making money from GPLed software would agree with me.

Submission + - British ' X-files' released to public 2

Smivs writes: "Britains Ministry of Defence has just released files regarding invesstigations into UFO sightings between 1978 to 1987. Over the next three or four years, 160 files will be handed over to the National Archives. The first group of eight files, one of which is more than 450 pages long, is available via its website today.
This article from The Guardian newspaper details many of the events in question, some interesting and many just bizarre.
A similar release of UFO files by France's national space agency last year attracted more than 220,000 users on its first day, causing it to crash. To avoid such problems, the National Archives is using an external hosting company which can add extra capacity as needed to handle the web traffic."
