So passwords are getting easier to crack because hackers can try billions of combinations fairly quickly. My question: Why are the *able* to try - TWuG Aug 23, 12:32 11
- "Should have had an authenticator" -- nm - Qale Aug 23, 12:36
- We used to run with password lockout on our external facing email system. Users got locked out so often and couldn't log onto their computers that we - oblique Aug 23, 12:35 1
  - Now we have a system where you get a phone call when you try to log on and it asks you to enter a PIN on the line - oblique Aug 23, 12:38
- They start with a weak site, not a bank or anything important. Hallmark ecards may well allow unlimited tries. -- nm - mara Aug 23, 12:34 5
  - And my question is "why allow unlimited tries"? If you can't remember it in some low 2 digit number of tries, you should be hitting the - TWuG Aug 23, 12:37 4
    - with gmail, after a few tries you have to also do a capcha validation -- nm - zork Aug 23, 12:42
    - kilbo answers that above. -- nm - mara Aug 23, 12:40
    - I think Gmail is like 4 or 5 but could be wrong. It's not very many tries. -- nm - sycor Aug 23, 12:39 1
      - After about 4 or 5, they break out the "now you have to get it right AND fill out impossible to read captcha" -- nm - Qale Aug 23, 12:42
- Because then when you go to log in and you are locked out, you're mad and they have to deal with you. -- nm - spamlet Aug 23, 12:33
- "That'll be extree." -- nm - nubby Aug 23, 12:33
So, I'm under the weather and they're like, you don't have to work tomorrow. I feel bad about that. I shouldn't though, should I? - Qale Aug 23, 12:29 3

- and the CBS page about this didn't work for me. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 12:31 3
  - Nor me. Looks like they took it down. Once Fox reported it, the genie was out of the bottle and won't go back in -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 12:34
  - Looks like they took it down, but there are plenty of other sites with the story. -- nm - mara Aug 23, 12:32
  - Conspiracy! -- nm - Qale Aug 23, 12:31
- "Publisher Penguin Group asked news organizations Thursday to withhold his identity." ... and Fox News and CBS rightfully said "fuck you". hahah -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:22
- [deleted] 15
  - Fox News, no less. Outstanding. -- nm - nubby Aug 23, 12:22 14
    - Yeah. Glad to see they're concerned for the safety of our men in uniform. - TWuG Aug 23, 12:39 13
      - he should've thought about that before trying to cash in with a book about it. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 12:46
      - Yeah, that sucks. You know what also sucks? Profiting from the sharing of military intel. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:42 10
        
        If he is revealing classified intel he should face charges. But I think a book of his account of the raid could be written without revealing - TWuG Aug 23, 12:44 5
        
        I doubt that it has classified info, but that -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:47 4
        
        's not what I mean. It was a military operation. That's the sort of thing that should be examined by a tribunal and divulged in that way - not in a - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:50 3
        
        Valid points. Though I maintain that the greatest danger the author faces is never having to buy his own beer for the rest of his life. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 23, 12:53 2
        
        Also, given what I've been hearing about book publishers (not Penguin in particular, mostly other ones), they get no sympathy from me ... - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:59
        
        One would hope, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:54
        
        (Granted, I'll take back my statements on this if 100% of the proceeds were always intended to go to supporting veterans & their families) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:43 3
        
        The Fox article says proceeds are going to the families of fallen SEALs. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 23, 13:03 2
        
        Well, that's noble, then. I guess I have to take back my enthusiasm. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:06 1
        
        (I was all set to be happy for Fox News at acquiring journalistic integrity, too!) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 13:07

Apparently, the Facebook iOS apps have been updated. They promise (again) that they suck less now. -- nm - spamlet Aug 23, 12:02

- I think it's crazy that will is trying to provide predictions so far in advance of the season, it's not like we don't have months to go.. Wait - Truman Aug 23, 11:53
- Why would anyone finalize their roster before Sunday? - David Aug 23, 11:52 4
  - so we're starting the drafts on Monday? -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 11:57
  - Yeah, I'll wait and make sure no one breaks a leg first. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 23, 11:56
  - Cuz the thing on the website said the 18th before we were delayed. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 11:56

- And I wonder what the projections for Romo and MJD look like. - spamlet Aug 23, 11:52 35
  - Romo -- 4200yds, 32 tds, 12 ints, 50y rush, 1 td. -- 325 pts in our league. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 11:56 14
    - 12 INTs? He'll beat that in his worst four games. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:02 4
      - Last year, he went for 4184 / 31 / 10. Three years ago, 4500/26/9... - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:03 3
        
        His career thus far is a strange blend of tremendous and several game disasters. - David Aug 23, 12:09 2
        
        I'm just going on the per-game averages for his last 5 years.... - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:11 1
        
        And a reasonable stat compare -- they have Eli at 4800/28/18 - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:16
    - that's...optimistic. -- nm - spamlet Aug 23, 12:01 8
      - Which? Romo's is almost exact to what he did last year....MJD's is high but they aren't doing day by day updates - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:02 7
        
        Yeah, I don't think many people realize how good (fantasy wise) Romo was last year. -- nm - Inigo Aug 23, 12:04 6
        
        Marc Sanchez was a top 10 Fantasy QB last year. -- nm - Reagen Aug 23, 12:20
        
        Injured Witten, injured Austin, headcase Bryant and no Laurent changes the equation. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:06 4
        
        The Witten thing does hurt them. Spleen injuries can end careers. - Inigo Aug 23, 12:11 2
        
        Laurent's 11 TDs were really crucial to stabilizing that team. I was shocked they let him go. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:12 1
        
        I think a full year of Murray in the backfield balances out that loss. -- nm - Inigo Aug 23, 12:19
        
        and a terrrrrrible O-line from all accounts so far (Not Jets bad, but up there) -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:07

    - the fine they could nail him with if so would be more than his new contract! -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 11:56 16
      - The Jags have zero leverage. -- nm - David Aug 23, 11:58 15
        
        you mean all the leverage. He has two years left on a frontloaded contract. They will suck with or without him, so why pay him off? -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:02 14
        
        The fanbase is so bad, they were looking at Tebow to sell tickets. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:05 1
        
        exactly, so MJD didn't draw when he was actually playing. -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:06
        
        You're looking at this exactly backwards. He doesn't have to play at all. While they lose, the fans grow angrier at ownership. - David Aug 23, 12:04 6
        
        the Jags have fans? If he doesn't pay and Kahn wants to play real hardball he sues him for 2/5's of his signing bonus and guaranteed money -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:05 5
        
        What are you even arguing right now? Further nuclear winter demonstrates just how much leverage MJD has. - David Aug 23, 12:11 4
        
        they will suck with or without him, so why set the precedent. -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:12 3
        
        I presume that they want to put themselves in the best position to win. I find it odd that you think having him sit while they lose is good strategy. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:14 2
        
        cause than when Blackmon (or whoever) has a great season they can't point to MJD and say "see, no way we pay you" -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:15 1
        
        No. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:20
        
        and right now his potential fine is around a cool $1 mil -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:03 4
        
        It's cute that you think he'll ever pay a dime of that. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:05 3
        
        talking leverage they have on him, not that he might actually pay it -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:06 2
        
        It's not leverage if it's a figment of the imagination. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:09 1
        
        *shrug* the fact that they likely won't nail him for it doesn't change the fact that they could if they want to go nuclear -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:10
