All my passwords are randomly generated, I set the minimum at 30 characters. My most important passwords are 40 to 50 characters. If you're using the printable ascii characters with fully random selection, that's 6.55 bits of en

Maybe I'm missing something, but that doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not critiquing the use of low entropy passphrases (though if very low then they become useless) - as I said in my blog post: ... a passphrase is most us

Any time your password uses a pattern, it by definition has low entropy. I don't know of anyone that has calculated the entropy of code, but I'm guessing it's even lower than that of an English sentence (~1.1 bits per charact

I don't understand what you're saying. I don't own a car. I live in Santa Cruz, where disposable plastic bags are also banned. I do my grocery shopping using reusable bags either on a bike or taking the bus. Where do "fo

I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, she was very brave for wilfully going into that sort of an environment, and a very intelligent person. But remember that there are thousands who live in a similar manner in ju

This is actually what I'm doing for my undergrad senior thesis right now. It's in theory-heavy CS, but there are some results that are based on some moderately difficult math, and experimental evidence of those results, which I&#x

I hate to state the obvious, but... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=914690#c0 That seems like pretty straight-forward reasoning to me.

If I recall correctly, in regards to the incident at the restaurant: it wasn't owned by the person the demonstrators had issue with, it WAS the patron (David Irving, who is a Nazi "sympathizer," to say the least) they dislike

I've heard that it could address it in theory but hasn't actually been used for that yet. Do you have a source saying it does this by default, or failing that, how to set it up to do that?

You don't actually even need to use liquid nitrogen. Much more common is chemical duster (hold the can upside-down and the boiling fluorocarbons will rapidly cool anything), or even nothing at all if you do it quickly. There are entire

I'm sorry, but must be missing something. How does a GPLv3 display server prevent locking down the hardware? Afaik, the anti-TiVoization stuff only applies to the software that's GPLv3, not the stack it's running on.

by tga_d 13y ago
Not really. I much prefer the GPL, since I think copyleft is (at least partly) what has made Linux the massive success it is, and I think a copyleft licence for a display server would similarly be better. But in this situation, I have to su

Only the public key should be stored on the virtual mail server, since all it's doing is encrypting incoming mail. It's your local email client (e.g. Thunderbird) that then downloads the encrypted emails to your local machine and

What does "GF(2^32)" mean in this context?

This was considered normal behavior. "We hear that Lenz, based in New York, would always take pictures of people talking on company-wide conference calls so that he could post them on Patch's internal news site." http:/
