If you were a programmer, it seems like the RPi would be a better choice than the arduino -- you can code in the language of your choice instead of processing or C, and you can still control interface pins to the outside world. Also, you'd

The video mentions that the production ready kit will be about the size of an airplane carry-on bag. I think for most cars it's possible to fit a roller carry-on bag, a stroller, and groceries with ample room leftover.

Not a long time when you consider how long it took them to write their first release.

So you'll only bring on people with a proven track record of having multiple past exits? That severely limits your options... plus why would someone with multiple successful exits want to work with you?

unlikely. if you look inside a macpro, you'd see that they have 2 giant fans that cool the cpu & ram. They pipe the air so that it flows over the cpu heatsink & ram, but no other components. There's another fan for cooling the re

by veemjeem 14y ago
Yeah, the biggest heatsinks are not in your computer. There are big heatsinks in your car (radiator) and A/C units that would benefit from the tech more than your laptop.

As a newbie coming into the python world, from the nodejs world, it's somewhat hard for me to just start fixing a broken system. It took me a few hours to fully understand the npm system, yet I still cannot understand the combination of to

it's amazing how much cheaper a monitor is when you go from 2560 res to 1920 res -- the price is less than half the cost. The usual run of the mill 1920x1080 display goes for $300 or so. I'm guessing the reason for the price differential

All this does is split the video into 2 identical signals. Note their fine print: "the two outputs of this monitor will always be the same"

As I mentioned in another post, non-thunderbolt displays cannot interpret packet data. When you use a dvi to thunderbolt adapter, it's simply translating the pins, not decoding packets. Your laptop's thunderbolt chip would realize you're

probably not apple reasons since thunderbolt is really just intel's lightpeak spec. you probably can't chain a non-thunderbolt display at the end of the chain because the data packets are probably encoded with some device id, and if it doe

Would the average person who prefers "professional" screenshots be able to tell the difference between Aktiv Grotesk and Lucida Grande? You have a sharp eye, but I would think 99.9% of the population looking at these screenshots would not

They could have done it to the extreme -- show the numbers for the past hour. Then they could almost always report 100% uptime. And if they ever went down, wait an hour, then go back to reporting 100% uptime again.

It's crazy how fast the prices are dropping. I feel like they dropped by 40% in the last 6 months. The cheapest 2.5" drive available on newegg is now a flash drive. It's probably hard to make a spindle drive any cheaper than $50 for lapt

I don't think the "overpriced" myth would ever be dispelled. Apple produces premium products, and premium products are typically associated with higher costs. Until Apple decides to become the walmart of laptops, people will always think

I don't think they had to rewrite the entire OS when they switched to intel. It only took 1 person over a span of 6 months to do the "conversion", and that 1 person was just doing it for fun. It wasn't until he finished that Apple decided

Probably the ones who have 32gb of memory for their photoshop scratch buffer. There's still quite a few of these types of professionals. You just can't put that much memory in the Macbook Pro. Processor speed is probably less of an issue

So you like slow machines? I gave up using mine and sold it... it's nice that it was cheap, but I feel like I can't do anything on it other than vim. I prefer only carrying around one laptop, so I'd rather get the laptop that can do ever

Maybe you were just lucky that your combination of hardware was supported. In my experience, you'll need the latest kernel with some patches from other people, and you'll still have to configure with something like make menuconfig to get t

There's already a thunderbolt gigabit ethernet dongle called the "thunderbolt display", although it's probably too big for people to carry around with them.

2 external displays at the full thunderbolt display (2560 x 1600) resolution. I'm betting you could do more displays if the resolution is lower, however I don't think you can buy external displays with lower resolution that use the thunder

What's wrong? They exist... they're bigger than md5 tables, but not significantly larger. If you don't have 50GB of free disk space, you could get a table with lower complexity for around 20GB or so.

by veemjeem 14y ago
Still, it doesn't matter. As long as one can generate a rainbow table for the hash function, then password lookups will be a O(1) operation. The rainbow table for md5 is moderately small, sha1 is bigger, and I'm sure sha2 is even bigger t

Easy, just convert all the hashes into passwords using a rainbow table. Should only take a few seconds to convert all 6.5M passwords -- O(n) operation here. Then run all the passwords through each user's password algorithm, this is a O(n^

by veemjeem 14y ago
It would still take a moderate amount of time for a single password if it's long and complex -- you're essentially generating the rainbow table. You might as well just download a sha1 rainbow table and just perform a O(1) lookup. You coul

LinkedIn passwords are not salted. You can only make comparisons if your database contains unsalted passwords. And if both databases used salted-passwords, then you still can't compare unless you all shared the same salting key.

I don't think this means much anyway. If you're buying Groupon stock, you're probably going long anyway. Every company has their low points.
