To me the issue is that the most important thing about a database is the data . If you're reviewing code with a join to an unknown table or view, will a "tbl" in front of the object really swing your vote between "This is passable code" an

Looks like he definitely hit the nail on the head when he assumed he'd get people blaming him for not blindly following the "Just wipe your phone!" advice.

It's true that my living in Detroit will help provide the police with more money, which may in turn make more people in the city, which may bolster the police even more... etc. However, I think it's quite a gamble. What if I buy property an

I also have worked for QL, and there are actually very few of the workers that live downtown. Most commute from the 'burbs. I considered it and did a lot of research and here were my thoughts: -The income tax needs to go. 2.5% to live in a

This makes sense, I hadn't thought of knowing the hashing method and it being unsalted. Knowing those it would be just as easy to whittle the list down exactly the same way.

How does this work with hashed passwords? Wouldn't any semblance of avalanche effect make this attack useless?

The article makes no mention of people with curly hair meeting each other as a market. It discusses people having curly hair (and, mostly, taking care of it) as a market.

Like I said, if your money is supporting someone doing good and gives them the ability to continue doing good, then it's helpful. Going back to the Red Cross example: If I'm a doctor in the US I'm making very good money, I get to see my fam

> We stopped SOPA This is what I'm worried about. Who really stopped SOPA? You can bet that anyone who signs up for this will go around touting how they stopped SOPA, just like the guy next to me pretty much single handedly saved Hait

Whoa whoa whoa... Don't act like signing up on a website is equivalent to doing something. It's literally the absolute least you could do.

Once I got the "for dummies" (Thanks james!) I immediately made the connection that it was an extremely short pulse- However that really puts it into perspective, thank you.

Sorry guys, I'm having an off day. Can someone explain this a little bit? They were able to put 500 terawatts into this beam, I think I understand that part. But that's 1,000x more energy than the US is using right now.. so did they actuall

This really tripped me out the first time I did it, I thought I had too much caffeine already! Actually, I kind of liked it.. though I have no idea why. Gimmicky.

Very true, but that actually validates my point- how many amputees actively strive to participate in the paralympics? I would estimate that pool is smaller than all the horses being raced, meaning his accomplishment of beating other racers

I would expand this to say don't just compare speed across brands on PC either- if you compare a quad core Intel to a quad core AMD, you'll see quite a difference. It's all about how those cycles are used!

I look at it this way: I buy a new car, and for whatever reason, I really want nice rims on it. If I want the rims package, I also have to buy the package with traction control and sat nav, and it's going to cost me $3,500. It doesn't make

I think just the fact that most of these discussions really revolve around technology is the reason that we aren't seeing many females- there just aren't that many in our field comparatively. On the other hand, I think that another contribu

Of course you have to know the salt, but I'm suggesting something like using a different storage medium, so that one vector of attack cannot get both keys- unknown to the attacker. I should have made that more clear.

Because I'm obviously missing something: what's wrong with a hash + salt? Depending on how it's done, wouldn't a hash of an unknown salt + password be impossible to translate back to plaintext? Even if the salt is known, as long as it chang

In the next article, titled "What I look for", he mentions that he'd never use a stored proc to access data through SQL. To me it sounds like he is almost refusing to use an RDBMS to its fullest.

How much money did these people that "knew it would fail, of course!" put on shorting it when it was $35? If any of the people that "knew $38 was way too high" had done that, they'd be out counting their money on a beach, not sitting at the

The XKCD is a little different: 1) Find (false) fact on Wikipedia. 2) Include fact in your important paper (journal, etc) 3) Fact is found on wikipedia to be false, and is removed 4) Fact is later found in your journal, and is then added to

I'm not going to go look for the actual contract, but there has been controversy about the American Idol contract for years. Out of all the shows you could have picked, why would you pick one involving recording companies? :) Here's a excer
