For those of you who don't feel like reading the article, it is basically about how researchers at Georgia Tech are able to brute force 8-character passwords in less than a couple of hours, using "clusters of graphics cards". This is nothing new; graphics cards are being used for all sorts of applications other than graphics. What I think is more interesting is the conclusion the writer draws from the fact that cracking an 8-character password is a simple enough task, provided you have Read More Related posts:

As someone who has written his fair share of Java, I'm very accustomed to stack traces. The fact I've made it as far as I have with PHP without them leaves me feeling amazed. The fact that I've had access to them all Read More Related posts:

This is generally a waste of time, however. The probability of two people on a forum consisting of thousands of members over the span of several years having the same question, idea, or thought turns out to be very low. In addition to this, using the search feature can be incredibly confusing to use and takes far too long Read More Related posts:

Previously I wrote about several new features that would be included in this version, however rather than further postpone a release, I've decided to hold off on those features until the next version. Version 0.4 incorporates a new theme, the latest version of tab override (which should resolve any browser compatibility issues), and various improvements and modifications Read More Related posts:

Obviously one of my needs is to host this blog. I don't get a huge amount of visitors (150 on an average day) so this isn't much to ask for.

I have a few other sites that are in development, most of them will never see the light

Along with some bug fixes there are a few new features. One new thing is the option to attach a database to allow for more advanced functionality. For now this includes something I'm calling examples generation, which allows you to store your code and output and allow others to view it. This is done without giving them access to the Apparatus interface. Apparatus can still operate in lite mode (without a database), but some features will not be available. Also in the works is a new template Read More Related posts:
