Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

An example: I'm no fan of David Miliband (I actually disagreed with a lot of what he said) but whenever an article was published about him, most of the time they included a photo taken at an inopportune moment (with the speed of modern cameras, this can happen to anyone).
That's Ed Miliband.

Pretty much.

A while ago I wrote about the ‘special relationship’ that exists between Strings and the CLR, well it turns out that Arrays and the CLR have an even deeper one, the type of closeness where you hold hands on your first meeting. "Arrays are basically voodoo."

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Chicago have just unveiled a new, state-of-the-art password meter that offers real-time feedback and advice to help people create better passwords. I'll take "Wishful thinking" for $200, Alex

So expect spam from Carnegle Melon, offering to test your password strength for you.
And the actual thing is a neural network -- that means that everyone in the world will be giving their passwords to an AI!

The algorithm is pretty simple isn't it?
1 - 3 character pwd = very, very, very weak
4 - 6 character pwd = very, very weak
7 - 9 character pwd = very weak
9 - 11 character pwd = weak
11 - 13 character pwd = now you're beginning to get there.
14 - 16 character pwd = ok, not bad
64 character password = you're probably going to be ok.

heh.
When I'd typed the letter 'p' 52 times, it started flickered between "strong" and "pretty good".
'f' needed over 70, so 'f'-ing is obviously less safe than 'p'-ing
(Try it yourself; the numbers are real)

That's a bug in the algorithm, for sure.
Better report it.
My passwords, as you probably know, are all sha-256 hashes that are 64 chars long.
Here, I give you one for free:

You're not understanding.

Now, which bank are you logging into?

Oh what a great thing! At least, umlauts are accepted, but that thingy fails to recognize ßüöä as lowercase and ÄÖÜ as uppercase letters...
What will it do with a password written in a different alphabet which does not have the uppercase/lowercase differentiation? Anyway, with ต่ร๕ู๗คกแยอตัเสทลห๓ it suggests to change it to ต่Uร๕mู๗คกแยอKตWเสทลBห๓ - i.e. it added 1 ASCII lowercase and 3 ASCII uppercase letters. Great idea! Especially switching keyboard layout while typing a password can be fun.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It ain’t just about Windows, macOS, or Linux. Also-ran or fairly obscure operating systems, like OS/2, are everywhere—in some cases, hiding under your nose. Geeks gotta geek
Also: who's going to write a virus against BeOS or OS/2? Better than running antivirus.

Quote: We're specifically dedicated to maintaining OS/2 and derivative operating systems as long as possible. As long as there's hardware that will support OS/2, that's what our focus is.
But what's really needed is an operating system that allows slashes in file names, obviously.
I've always wanted to know who decided to name it OS/2. It's such a stupid idea that it's almost art.
"Ok, they put Windows in the Windows directory, so we'll put OS/2 in the... Um... In somewhere else!"

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have come up with a way to add touch controls to any object, no matter what shape or material it is. The system is called Electrick, and it uses a software algorithm to read the press of your finger by measuring changes in the flow of electricity across a conductive surface. Type by running your fingers through your hair!
