But the "reduction" adds no benefit. You might as well just check the whole hash and eliminate the false positives, which have no purpose. (A false positive has no correlation with being "closer" to the real password.)…
But these "classes" have no meaning. The only thing that means anything is whether the entire hash matches or not. Comparing a subset of bits just gives you random results, (aside from the case where the entire original…
This doesn't make any sense. There is no "reduction" of a cryptographic hash that shows you anything other than "100% match" or "not 100% match". Essentially this is just displaying a random symbol along the side until…
That is my preferred explanation as well. A caveman would not notice a WiFi signal even if it was blasting right through the cave; he would probably be looking for smoke signals or something. Also, a huge intelligence…
I bought a generic one, pretty much the first hit on Amazon, and it works fine on the Air. It never occurred to me that this was a difficult requirement to meet anymore. They come with those dual-headed connectors, but…
I do think Apple will stick to this, but on the other hand an engineer's comment on a bug report is not much to go on--they may not know Apple's real plans, and Apple could go back on its stated plans anyway.
I discovered this yesterday and loved it, but it didn't occur to me until today to look up the first host I ever used to get online, in the late 80s (Usenet and email access only at that time). Not only is it there, it…
Every SSD I see on Newegg mentions that it has a 3 year manufacturer's warranty.
OK, but then you sort of have to be careful what you put in the first line, and then it's really no different. Anyway, I would think that most of the time suck in email comes from replying to others' messages (which…
Sparrow already does virtually all of this. The only real differences are the Subject thing (not sure how this saves you time, other than pressing TAB once), and displaying images from the address book.
Now he can start counting "days since I stopped telling people about how I quit Facebook".
It's interesting that this also seems to have factored into Richard Stallman's philosophy. Since he considered working on closed software unethical, and noted that he could always survive as a waiter, he felt he…
True; I would say that 'pure craftsman' type of person would be totally comfortable with the 'loser' position in this analysis. They would not be looking askance at the 'sociopath' types; whereas another type of person…
This is a pretty amazing analysis. I think a lot of really talented engineers in Silicon Valley fit into a kind of hybrid category I might call 'loser with sociopathic tendencies' (gotta love these terms--hey, I didn't…
If you look at the rest of the site, they're not only against porn, but seem to be discouraging orgasm in general, based on the ideas of spiritual traditions such as Taoism. While it's true that many traditions did…
I agree with the commenter on the blog who said he's just not holding it right. I hold mine with my index finger wrapped around the right-hand side, so the joint at the base of the index finger is about next to the Home…
