RACE For What It Is

Stewart Schatz — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:06:00 +0000

Edward James Olmos gives a very interesting and enlightening speech on “race” at the United Nations. They were there to talk about his hit SciFi show Battlestar Galactica.

I agree with the idea that we will never get rid of racism until we stop referring to “race”.

Have you filled out your 2010 Census yet? For all the “programs” that the US Government has on fighting racism why do they keep perpetuating the situation by forcing you to choose one?

Hacking Weak Passwords

Stewart Schatz — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:00:00 +0000

There is a post on One Man’s Blog that I thought was pretty interesting. It is about the use of weak passwords and how they can get you into trouble.

The following is a list of common passwords from the post:

Your partner, child, or pet’s name, possibly followed by a 0 or 1 (because they’re always making you use a number, aren’t they?)

The last 4 digits of your social security number.

123 or 1234 or 123456.

“password”

Your city, or college, football team name.

Date of birth – yours, your partner’s or your child’s.

“god”

“letmein”

“money”

“love”

Assuming the hacker has a reasonably fast connection and PC here is an estimate of the amount of time it would take to generate every possible combination of passwords for a given number of characters.

Thundersnow Explained

Stewart Schatz — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:00:41 +0000

From Wikipedia:

Thundersnow, also known as a winter thunderstorm or a thunder snowstorm, is a rare thunderstorm with snow falling as the primary precipitation instead of rain. It commonly falls in regions of strong upward motion within the cold sector of extratropical cyclone, where the precipitation consists of ice pellets rather than snow.
