NTLM hashes are stored in Active Directory servers as one round of unsalted MD4. It's plain MD4. Not many people know this and I only point it out as it's important to understand that when talking about how many cracks per second they are g

My former job was systems programming on precisely this sort of project. We ran embedded ARM based Linux systems in cars, motorcycles and over the road trucks to gather research data from the vehicle CAN. The volume of data and variables co

Would be nice to get away from it all for a few months. Being a park ranger (for awhile) would be a nice break from a high-tech lifestyle.

I've used Debian GNU/Linux as my primary desktop OS and as a server OS since 1995. Many ditros (such as Ubuntu) are derived from it. People who have grown accustomed to deb packages and synaptic, etc may like to try it.

Agreed. This has nothing to do with the term "metrosexual". "Metrosexual is a neologism, derived from metropolitan and heterosexual, coined in 1994 describing a man (especially one living in an urban, post-industrial, capitalist culture)

I think part of the new-found interest in C++ is because of mobile and the need for performance. Ten years ago, we would write something in Perl, Python or Ruby and say, "If it runs slow, buy a new computer." Those days are over. Mobile has

It has been my experience that technology is full of naysayers who have strong opinions (it matters not if those opinions are based on actual experience). You are doing it wrong... I would do it with ABC.... I would write that in XYZ. No

I was a big subversion fan until I took a systems programming position where the dev team used Mercurial. It took me a few weeks to really start liking it, but now I absolutely love it. It's great.

Guys with heavy beards... do you get more attention from the TSA? I heard that any male (regardless of race/religion) with a heavy beard is checked more closely. Has this been true for you or people you know with heavy beards?

Another reason is added security. The joint registrar/hosting companies allow you to use the same account/password to access and update the site that you use to transfer and register domains. My rule of thumb is the registrar, www hosting,

Thank you for pointing that out. It seems he has multiple young women around him. I thought there was only one.

He wrote that his girlfriend, Sam, was 17 in April and later wrote she is 20 years old now. Did anyone else catch that?

C++ is coming back in a big way because it saves money. It is the king of performance per watt, per cycle, per transistor which directly translates to performance per dollar. It cannot be beaten. http://www.alejandrosegovia.net/2011/09/08/

"Google has worked more on the kernel side, they've done their own filesystems." What custom filesystem is he referring to? Does anyone know?

It's not just me. It's tens of millions of paying customers. The other pay TV services are the same. It matters not what the example is, the point is that companies display ads to paying customers and have for some time now. So we should no

What's the difference between this and paying 100 bucks a month to DirectTV? I'm paying 100 bucks each month for the service, why does DirectTV bombard me with ads every few minutes? It seems logical that if DirectTV can behave that way and

There are several local apps that have done this for a long time. I wrote and use SHA1_Pass. It has local clients for Mac, Linux and Windows and a JavaScript version that can run locally on mobile devices. http://16s.us/sha1_pass/

One more rule... While you type your PIN, cover your typing hand with your free hand to thwart card skimmer cameras. This won't prevent keypad overlays from recording the PIN, but those are more expensive and more rare.

I find C++ much easier to read than Python. Here's how to reverse a string in C++: string s = "string"; reverse(s.begin(), s.end()); And here's how to reverse a string in Python: s = "string" print s[::-1] In my opin

Java is open source too and C# is not the only corporate language from MicroSoft.

Languages such as Go would interest me more if they were not controlled by one company. I've had bad experiences with corporate languages in the past. This is one reason I'll stick with C++. It has an ISO standard and many different compile
