I like this idea, but I don't think it can be enforced. If I "forget" my password, then all the history is lost with it.

by swixmix 15y ago
That would only be true if it didn't keep history. Let's assume my previous two passwords are "love123" and "hate098". If I try to use a new password "love124", then the permutation checker (which, for the moment, knows the new password in

A better method would be to save previous password hashes when a password is changed, then check hashes of permutations of the new password against the previous ones.

This article is for everyone who evacuated Japan and are now returning. It may have been difficult to leave, and it may be hard to settle back down after returning. But, it's probably no where near as difficult as this.

The public outcry against nuclear power is partially to blame for the Fukushima accident. The fear is a self fulfilling prophecy.

I don't agree with this article. Level 7 on the INES scale indicates "health and environmental effects." The scariest part of this event was the potential extent of the disaster. But reality got in the way again, and thankfully the worst ca

I want to emphasize that this is not news because reality hasn't changed. The way reality is measured has changed. The IAEA reported Japan changed from rating each individual reactor (1,2,3) a 5. They combined them together and finally rate

I don't understand what you're trying to express. You seem to be skeptical but don't offer an explanation. The reorganization makes sense to me which is why I don't understand your comment.

I mistakenly thought Larry Wall was the new Google CEO. It seemed a little odd at first, but then I thought it was very cool. Now it doesn't seem quite as interesting.

This looks like fun, but you do realize some of these Haiku's could cause serious damage to US national security. Don't you? (The appropriate answer, I think, is "I can't confirm or deny.")

You are allowed to create a derivative of the license for your own use. But you are not allowed to modify an existing license document someone is already using with their code.

FTA: "Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed." This is clearly in reference to the LICENSE DOCUMENT and not the LICENSE ITSELF. Forgive the shouting, but this si

It's not very secret if you're holding up a cell phone. And if that is decidedly secret, then nobody should care as long as the unlawful audio is removed before distribution. I use the term unlawful audio because only the personally identif

I agree with Mr. Nee that police officers "are entitled to the same rights as every citizen" because they, simply, are. I believe any individual should be allowed to record anything they please. But I also believe the distribution should b

Summary: British submarines can launch missiles. From the article: "..nuclear bombs were armed by turning a bicycle lock key. There was no other security on the bomb itself." By the way, it's a freaking submarine. Perspective: I lock a gun'

From the article, "Either the machine prints NPR@NPR@, or it never prints NPR@NPR@." This makes sense in that the machine has told itself never to print NPR@NPR@ in the future. It would be like trying to verify someone doesn't know a secret

A lot of people know it's an option, but there is no reward for doing so. Why make my job harder without getting anything for it? Only management benefits from it.

You guys are funny. One post talks about not wanting Apple Rejects on HackerNews, and another talks about how Apple is censoring applications. First Apple, then HackerNews, next we'll be claiming that our own mother's try to influence us!
