Aberystwyth University has a pretty hardcore mnenomic-passsword generator. http://www.aber.ac.uk/cgi-bin/user/syswww/gw/mnemonic Generates evil password like this:
Interesting work. You might like to email their sysops to see if the script behind it is freely available (and if it's not, whether they'd consider GPLing it) Edit: Looking at the output a little more cafefully, this would not be hard to code. You'd just need several dictionaries to feed it. |
pwgen generates random, meaningless but pronounceable passwords. These passwords contain either only lowercase letters, or upper and lower case mixed, or digits thrown in. Uppercase letters and digits are placed in a way that eases remembering their position when memorizing only the word. . Install pwgen with the button below: e.g.
apgAPG is the Advanced Password Generator. The software is used to automatically generate new passwords for whatever use you feel like putting it to. Here are some key features of "APG":

Try the password card. You carry it in your wallet and you remember two symbols and a color. You read the letters / numbers between the symbols along a color line, or make up any algorithm that you can remember. The site generates a random card for you. |

I suspect your use case if different, but this kind of thing is useful for shared secret keys, and other kinds of passwords that you don't type in very often. However, you will at some point probably appreciate applications (like pwgen, KeePassX or LastPass) that give you an option to avoid easily confusable characters, like Stil,
This is nuts, of course. You probably know when this is useful or not. And it's certainly better than using 'Pa$$w0rD' for everything. If in doubt, create a longer password, or pass your generated password as input to another generator, or use multi-factor authentication. |

SuperGenPass is a bookmarklet solution originally intended for website logins, but it can easily be used for applications, too. It uses a master password plus the current domain name (or application name, if you like) to generate 10-character passwords like I keep a bookmarklet in each of my browsers, and on my cell phone (works offline, too!). It's very convenient. If you're "brave" then you could even hardcode the master password into the bookmarklet. |
Keypass has a built in password generator. Generate your new password and remember it with the same tool. |
I use FPM2 (figaro) password manager. No mnemonics, but you have a password generator, and you just have to keep in mind one password. Simply search it in Software Center. Or, if you like a "low-tech" but ingenious solution, you can watch at this: http://www.passwordcard.org/en |
I got some pretty good feedback with brain-generated passphrases. Alas it's not a free generator, because it works better with a cup of coffee, nor is it open-source (but kinda difficult to hack). |
Here's a JavaScript bookmarklet. It will ask for the length and then create the password. Just create a new bookmark with the following address:
For those interested, the above bookmarklet was using the below code, minified with Closure Compiler:
I found a good website with a few interesting options for password generation, strength testers etc. It is prints the password out as mnemonic. It isn't flawed terribly like some of the major websites that people are currently using for password generation and testing. |
http://www.random-password.co.uk is a free online generator? |
Has Revelation been considered? Not only will it generate the password, it will assist in keeping track of them. |
Mozilla has a little Flash video on a password schema you might enjoy at http://www.labnol.org/internet/different-passwords-for-websites/17961/ |

Health Profession Opportunity Grants
Authorized by the Affordable Care Act, the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) program provides education and training to TANF recipients and other low-income individuals for occupations in the health care field that pay well and are expected to either experience labor shortages or be in high demand.
Program Participants
Grantee organizations define "other low-income individuals" and are serving a wide range of participants including: individuals without a high school diploma or GED, incumbent workers, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients, and disadvantaged and at-risk youth.
Grantee Organizations
Grant awards were made to 32 entities located across 23 states. There were two Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs).
Of those organizations that were eligible for the first FOA, 27 awards were made. These awards were given to:
The other FOA limited eligible applicants to Indian tribes and tribal organizations. For that FOA, five awards were made to tribal applicants, including one tribal council and four tribal colleges.
Education and Training Programs
Program participants enroll in a variety of training and education programs that result in an employer or industry recognized certificate or degree. Training programs take place in a variety of settings and formats, including:
Some education programs enroll students in cohorts to create a supportive peer environment for learning. Other training programs have been designed as career ladder programs so that there are multiple entry and exit points between employment and more advanced training.
Grantees are offering educational and training programs that may lead to more than 50 unique occupations, including those for:
Supportive Services
All grantees offer multiple supportive services, such as financial aid, child care and case management to encourage participants' successful completion of training.
They use grant funds for many of the supportive services and leverage non-grant resources for others. In some cases, grantees use a combination of funds if appropriate.
Consultation and Coordination
All grantees are required to coordinate with:
There are several ways in which the grantees coordinate with these required partners. For example, grantees coordinate with TANF agencies through formalized agreements (e.g., memoranda of understanding), form advisory groups to include a TANF representative, work with TANF agencies for outreach, recruitment and referrals, and leverage existing TANF resources with other grant funds.

Sally Field and Daniel Day-Lewis appear in a scene from "Lincoln." Field was nominated Dec. 13 for a Golden Globe for best supporting actress for her role in the film. The 70th annual Golden Globe Awards will be held Jan. 13.
Perhaps like many viewers, you exited Steven Spielberg's hit movie "Lincoln" wanting to know more – more about the Civil War, more about the 16th president, more about Secretary of State William Henry Seward. Played by American actor David Strathairn, he was Lincoln's confidant, the one in the fabulous embroidered dressing gown. More can be found in two terrific new biographies. Often considered our greatest president, Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis in the movie) is definitely written about the most. More than 16,000 books have been published since Lincoln's 1865 assassination. Yet the man remains eternally fascinating, as David Von Drehle's Rise to Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year proves. Von Drehle opens his book on Jan. 1, 1862, and closes it exactly one year later. Month by month, we watch the inexperienced Lincoln cope, change and grow as he faces extraordinary political, military and personal crises. There is seething intrigue within the Cabinet as the Treasury's Salmon Chase becomes inflamed with jealousy at Lincoln's growing reliance on Seward. Lincoln also has to navigate between hard-line abolitionists and those advocating a more gradual approach to ending slavery. As for the military, Von Drehle brings alive Union Gen. George McClellan in all his insolent, fascinating complexity. A brilliant organizer beloved by his troops, the West Point grad becomes almost mentally unhinged, paralyzed with a fear of failing in battle. Yet the more Lincoln reaches out to support McClellan, the more he treats the president with contempt. This was also the year that Lincoln's cherished son Willie died and the already-volatile Mary Lincoln fell apart. Von Drehle traces Lincoln's deepening religious faith, as he reaches out to various ministers and to his youngest son Tad's nurse, whose spiritual fortitude impresses Lincoln. But what sets Von Drehle's outstanding book apart is the craft of his writing. The text is all of 379 pages, but it is lean, insightful and often lyrical. Too many history books today are unedited research dumps. An editor-at-large for Time , Von Drehle displays the concision that writing for a newsweekly requires. While countless tomes have been published about Lincoln, his secretary of State is almost forgotten by the public, save for Alaska being once nicknamed "Seward's Folly." Fortunately, Walter Stahr sets the record straight in his compelling Seward: Lincoln's Indispensable Man, arguing convincingly that "other than presidents, Seward was the foremost American statesman of the nineteenth century." The author of an admired biography of John Jay, Stahr presents a detailed but crisp narrative that takes the reader from Seward's birth in 1801 in a little town 60 miles from New York City to his death in 1872. He was an outstanding governor of New York, an effective U.S. senator and, in 1860, the leading Republican presidential candidate before losing the nomination to the little-known Lincoln. (According to Stahr, the more prominent Seward would have lost the election because of his support for Catholic immigrants and his well-known opposition to slavery.) Stahr presents Seward as a remarkably likable person, despite his flaws. Wildly ambitious, Seward lied and schemed on occasion. But he possessed charm, brains and curiosity. A born politician, Seward adored talking to strangers and seeing new places. During the crucial 1860 election, he campaigned for his victorious rival with zest. A wealthy lawyer, he was famed for hosting fabulous dinner parties. An opponent of slavery who sold a house to Harriet Tubman (who sent flowers to his funeral), Seward also visited his colleague Jefferson Davis every day for seven weeks in 1858 when the Mississippi senator was housebound with an eye infection. Charles Dana observed that Seward possessed a quality rare among lawyers, politicians or statesmen: "Imagination." Which is why Seward realized the USA should buy Alaska from Russia in 1867. You grasp why Lincoln grew to cherish Seward's sturdy optimism and clear-eyed political pragmatism. Whether in life or now in the pages of a book, the man was good company. © USA TODAY.

Slippery Eel
Seeing this ending to quickly was a suprise tbh. I don't know why exactly Azim had run off on his own, the idea is that he's protected by his detail and the "civilians" play cat & mouse with BLUFOR to wittle them down. Obviously if BLUFOR decides to camp the two helipads it's a boring tactic but then they have to split their forces, making them easy to overrun. I'd generally like to see more asymmetrical adversarials work on our sessions.
River Assault
This mission is always a meatgrind and tonight was no difference. If I or anyone else gets around tweaking it, it might be an idea to add wrecks or some abandoned fortifications along the western hills and shore, to give the attackers more ways to approach.
Yes I know, it was dark. Next version will have campfires at every possible cache location, more lights in general and flares for the defenders as well. And a clear sky/full moon. Still, I like the idea of giving BLUFOR a clear advantage with the NVGs and the darkness and forcing INDP to be a bit more hide-y and ambush-y (but not completely clueless as it was in this version, my bad). I'm not sure if INDP should have an advantage in numbers though I'm happy to be convinced otherwise.Last edited by Wolfenswan; 05-12-2012 at 10:31 PM.

Yeah, still, there's a difference between behind hide-y because you don't see well and not even seeing if you're hidden or not. I was pretty sure to be well covered on two sides, and partially hidden from my back, though when I went to specator mode, and activated the night vision, I had to admit I was in the middle of effing nowhere.
In my opinion (and that's just an opinion) dark nights like that don't have a place if you don't have NVGs. Just makes it a pain to play. Hell, I went all the way up to get IEDs for my team, stood up on top of the cache and couldn't ever see it. This is even more important if one team does have NVGs. Then, it's not asymmetrical, it' just butchery.
On the other hand, a full or half-moon night makes it interesting. NVGs are still a definitive edge, yet you can still see around you some, as long you're not in some shadow.
Then again, I'll implemet something like that in a mision I've been working on, so, some of this, some of that, we're still happy.
Other than that, sorry for dying early in River assault, which seemingly led to an all-out clusterfuck for quite a while. I still think the plan was not that bad, though. You guys did make it to the artillery in good numbers, which is not the case everyday. The BTR or MAT would probably have helped a bit.
As for Slippery Eel, the concept is fun as hell, but maybe the scenario could be revised, as it lead to something kinda frustrating. I would also maybe add a rule so that BLUFOR won't shoot unarmed people, even if they know they are players. This could bring a bit more tension to it.Last edited by Black Mamba; 05-12-2012 at 10:30 PM.
My AAR:
I don't remember any of those maps... :D
Slippery Eel
Blufor Alpha 1 FTL (or 2)
I had a lot of trouble with my Arma on this one, for some reason the game froze on the loading screen. No problem, I restarted the game and reconnected. As soon as I got into my position, the mission ended, aziz killed, lolwut.
River Assault
CO Medic
I was assigned as Medic/Bodyguard/Slave to Mamba. We drove our officer UAZ ahead of the main group to scout the enemy positions. Spotted a lot of important stuff, relayed to SL's and then the assault started. People started dying, Mamba sent me off to heal people. Then I heard a message from Mumble - "User left your channel", I knew what it meant... Relayed Mamba's fate over CC, and the assault continued.
Not knowing what to do, I decided to attach myself to Alpha, and run over to them as they were the Vanguard force. Looks like it was a good idea - Alpha was undermanned and I filled a fireteam member role quite nicely. My skills proved useful as I healed a lot of people. As soon as we organised and started attacking, more people started dying, including all of alpha and charlie, save me and Capernatious. Someone took command of the mission, I think. We blew up the artillery cannon thingies as per objective, and then the mission ended.
Blufor Commander
As CO I devised this kind of plan:
Alpha and Bravo would board the Chinook. I sent the Blackhawk ahead to scare the enemy, and basically stop movement and make them keep their heads down. The Chinook circled around and landed in the Northern part of town, behind a big mountain. Alpha went north toward the friendly checkpoint and took the humvees, while Bravo went on the mountain to provide a BOF for Alpha's advance.
Alpha waited for Bravo to get into position and then started firing (we spotted a few enemies beforehand), Bravo also opened fire. After the first engagement I was very relieved to learn that Alpha took no casualties and we continued.
I sent Bravo down the hill to flank around and take look at the caches that were at the far eastern side of town.
At about this time I boarded the Blackhawk as gunner (it had no gunner) for a better look at the town. After very carefully clearing the northern side of town, and finding no caches we went south, again I sent Bravo to flank from the eastern side, and for Alpha to attack head-on.
I told Kale (Blackhawk pilot) to hover over the last caches, as our teams were closing in. I saw a guy running in the open and my trigger itching finger opened up on him, I thought that they won't do much to us with small arms. And then I found out that IndieFor stole OUR humvee somehow as it opened fire on us with it's .50 cal.
Our engine was down, as we were going down like a rock, I shouted on CC that "Command is down!", the only response I heard was "What?", as the chopper crashed and burned. Don't know what happened then, but the important thing is that we won :D

Slippery Eel
Same problems Halop had, he even was my FTL. This session my Arma acted up every mission, I just hope that won't happen again.
River Assault
I was in one of the bravo fireteams I think, although we were quickly reduced to thekev, the hero AT guy who must have shot a dozen tanks, and me. I don't think I ever killed quite as many enemies as this mission, I mowed down a whole compound from a higher vantage point, all the while praying that Alpha was where the map suggested (due to the distance the blue helmets were not displayed as blue, but brownish). Of course, I would have readily admitted my guilt in case of friendly fire. Ahem. I also survived the mission, which was good.
I thought I'd try leading a fireteam, in this case Alpha 1. We managed to kill three or four enemies before even entering the town, and I successfully didn't shoot Draakon (Alpha SL), whose ID was for some reason not displayed. As I said, my Arma did act up quite a bit. We then cleared out the compounds, there was some shooting and something must have happened to Alpha 2, because after Draakon died and I received a field promotion, they didn't answer. I messed up the last chance to get a working CC in mumble, thankfully Ebass played my radio man and there was not much to be talked about anyway. After Ebass got shot in the legs (and us not encountering an enemy for five to ten minutes), he just took a humvee. On our way to the last house with enemies in it (which was besieged by Bravo), we suddenly won the mission. Go us!

A technique developed by Hashirama Senju, founder of Konohagakure, the user forces trees to grow on any surface, easily creating a dense forest anywhere they choose. A small plant can grow into a forest in an instant.[2] By generating chakra, the user manoeuvres it as they see fit for attack and defence; and furthermore, this omnipotent technique even allows them to capture the enemy at the same time. With their tremendous life force, the trees can pierce through earthen walls, and extend their branches at their prey in an instant. Even stating that Konohagakure wouldn't have been established without this technique wouldn't be an exaggeration.
- In Japanese, "sea of trees" (樹海, jukai) is an idiom referring to a large expanse of dense woodland. The First's technique changed the last kanji from sea (海) to world (界), probably to reinforce the greatness of the forest created.
- Hashirama uses this technique in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3, Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 4, Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 5 and Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations. In the first three, after trapping the opponent in a giant tree, Hashirama clasps his hands together and causes the tree to explode, causing damage to his target. In the other, after restraining the target with wooden tendrils, Hashirama delivers a chakra powered punch, sending the target crashing down through the trees.

Monkey found at Toronto IKEA
Primate wearing winter coat roamed parking lot
Published On: Dec 10 2012 10:15:16 AM EST
Updated On: Dec 10 2012 10:18:24 AM EST
Shoppers at an IKEA in Toronto were shocked to find a monkey wearing a winter coat on the loose in the parking lot.
The primate caused quite a stir, and became a social media sensation, before it was captured by security Sunday afternoon, the CBC reported.
According to the Toronto Star, the monkey somehow escaped from a crate inside a car parked at the store.
Shoppers described the 7-month-old monkey as "agitated," and it is now in the custody of animal services.
According to CP24, the monkey's owner was fined $240 for having a prohibited animal.

The eight-band k.p model of strained zincblende crystals has been extensively used to describe the electronic structure of III-V semiconductor nanostructures.
in the present work, we propose to extend these approaches in order to provide a fast and easy method to evaluate the electronic spectra of narrow-gap semiconductor Quantum Dots.
A complete 2D axi-symmetric model is proposed for the simulation of the electronic, mechanical and first and second order piezoelectric properties of narrow-gap, strained, semiconductor quantum nanostructures emitting at long wavelength.
Comparisons with complete 3D results obtained at TUB are also given.

#Life#The Flinger Family#Baby O#Those Little People
I always heard moms talk about their school aged kids. School aged! My god they seemed so old. Until today when I watched my 6 month old and his 3 year old sister get on a bus for school. No, I swear. Isn't he still 6 months old? Isn't she still the feisty three year old that coined the term, "You think two was terrible, you ain't seen nothin' yet." The thing is: You all think the same thing, don't you. I know I do when I see your children climbing on to busses. "Wasn't he just a preemie? Wasn't her mom just pregnant with her? OHMYGOD where has the time gone?' This is an occupational hazard of blogging for 7, no, NINE years? What the hell, people. Did we even have blogs in 2003? Oh, yes we did mothercrackers. We...

"Oh, you're from Seattle? You're so lucky!" This is coming from the Delta ticketing agent in Detroit. It's been raining for weeks and it's the end of June. "Yes, I suppose, why?" "Have you ever read fifty shades of Gray? Christian is from Seattle!" I roll my eyes and try to be patient when I explain, in very slow words, "He. Is. Not. Real." Someone asked me once if I'd ever been to Forks. You know, where the Vampires live? I usually reply with something not-at-all snarky like, "no, generally I hang with werewolves."

Friday was our last day at the pre-school we've been attending for five years. No, our child hasn't failed pre-school four years running. This school provide pre-K from 3-5 and Kindergarten for 6 yr olds. Both of our children have been at this school. There are other families in the same boat and I see them at the little concerts and plays. They watch their children with a camera and compare the same production to the previous four. There are four of us families, no, five, and our children have grown up together. And Friday was the very last day we will go to this school. I picked this school one day, which I remember vividly, when my daughter was two. We were looking at options because I was going to drive her to Canada and drop her off to live with a flock of geese and she... Read moreThough the Truth May Vary Aug 20, 2012
We are watching our parents age. Haven't they always been the same age? So why are they deteriorating before our eyes now? Why do phone calls include doctor results and stories from forever ago? Of regret? Of routine? When did I become the mom and for the love of god please tell the children their real mother is coming home soon. Who owns this house? The big one with the barn and the garden overgrown with weeds and the busted old chicken coupe? Not us, not me, no way. I've been listening to stories through music. They're called lyrics. Maybe you pay attention to them or maybe, like most people I talk to, you just hum along and think, "what a lovely tune."

Is there currently any noob-friendly way to try it out on Ubuntu 10.10 so that compiz also works? As in all pre-made packages and such.
Phoronix: Benchmarks Of AMD's Newest Gallium3D Driver
While we have already published two exciting articles today looking at the native ZFS file-system for Linux and also new benchmarks of OpenSolaris / BSD / Linux, here's a third article for the day. We might as well test our new Phoronix serving infrastructure while already having excess load today due to Slashdot, etc (it's good practice for OpenBenchmarking.org), so here are benchmarks of AMD's newest Gallium3D driver compared to their classic open-source Mesa driver and also their proprietary Catalyst driver. Oh yeah, a fourth article is also in the queue for today or the very near future when AMD has a major Linux driver announcement to share.
Is there currently any noob-friendly way to try it out on Ubuntu 10.10 so that compiz also works? As in all pre-made packages and such.
what is the "bottleneck" that keeps the gallium drivers from performing at the same -or similar- level as the proprietary ones???
is it something in the state trackers or something in the lower parts ??
Very interesting this review...!
With just a few months of development, ATI R600 Gallium Driver is already faster than R600c driver in most games tested here... Although its 3D perfomance today is still far, far away from what Catalyst can do, it is interesting to know 3D perfomance is improving steadily in Mesa.
Btw, I'll also give a try to R600g when it becomes in a more or less "working" status... even if its 3D perfomance still needs a lot of catch up until have the same performance as Catalyst. (I'm interested in its video decoding acceleration capabilities...)
Thanks for the benchmarks. We still have a long way to go, but looking at r300g, there is lots of "win" coming our way.
Still, the numbers are a bit odd.
I get stable 60fps at 1920x1080 in OpenaArena using r600g on a 4550 (!!!), which is at least 3-4 times slower than a 4870. It's impossible that you only get 87fps on a 4870.
EDIT: 54fps, not 87.
It's unlikely that a 4870 is slower than a 4550.
Does this include the page flipping/tiling patches?
Nice article, thank you!
I can pretty much confirm that it is stable and working nicely. I've been running it for about a month and I only have one issue: the notifications in Ubuntu are not rounded and shaded.
Although I've got to tell you that I pretty much only use Compiz as I don't get hardware acceleration in commercial mesh generation software IcemCFD. That is a big pain and I don't know why is that as it is not supposed to use anything above OpenGL 2.1. Maybe this driver is not recognised as supported or it is blacklisted?
Can't wait to have h264 decoding support!
Dave, Jerome and the others working on this driver are awesome! Thank you so much guys! I hope AMD will switch to this driver soon. The next round of Fusion parts should get Gallium-only support in my opinion.
Those are pretty awesome results given the short time devs have had to work with the code. Bodes well for future card generations.
Given the decent FPS numbers at lower resolutions, IMO it would be interesting to have tests run on netbooks/sub-notebooks. They do tend to ship with lower grade GPUs, though I'm under the impression that extrapolating the performance delta between fglrx/OSS across GPU incarnations is tough (as in OSS drivers not scaling that well yet).
I have the feeling Gallium3D drivers have reached the "good enough" stage for those machines, at least performance-wise.

Post a web+network transitive trust relationship here
Posted by:
Date: January 22, 2007 07:45AM
In May of 2006 I discovered a new attack vector (web+network transitive trust relationships) but I haven't disclosed it until now. I'm not even sure it still works with the primary website that had the vulnerability, because the last time I tested it was in November.
This is an attack vector that allows authentication bypass. I have run across this in Intranets/Extranets in the past - in addition to Internet websites. I'm not sure if it has a name, but it works in a very similar way that Berkeley r-services, NFS, NIS, AD, and other transitive trust relationships work.
Basically, if the HTTP server/app builds a trust relationship based on the source IP addresses of remote networks (and/or HTTP referrer tags) - this can be subverted easily. It could be that the firewall/DMZ supporting the HTTP server(s) supports this network policy. It could be a variety of things.
The primary things I see in common are that the source IP be in a certain range, such as one that belongs to a particular company or university that has subscribed to the web application as a service. I also see HTTP referrer tags being used as a secondary precautionary measure (so that the attack won't work through proxies as effectively).
I encountered this in May when using the Tor network to access http://safari.ora.com (redirects to http://safari.oreilly.com).
Basically, when firing up Tor and going to http://safari.ora.com (but not http://safari.oreilly.com), I was able to gain free access to the Safari library through ProQuest at the level of the university's access that I was proxying through Tor. I believe the difference in oreilly.com and ora.com was due to the aforementioned HTTP referrer checks, but I could be wrong.
In this case, I think that ProQuest has a network trust relationship to Safari over some sort of extranet, perhaps over IPSec or private-line. ProQuest is doing some sort of IP-based firewalling to permit or IP forward (or HTTP redirect) traffic destined to Safari to go through them. This could be a variety of things in networks, such as DNS or even host files.
This could also occur by O'Reilly's Safari network/servers redirecting to ProQuest, although this is less likely.
After a few conversations with friends (especially people I know that attend universities), it appears that many web application services allow this sort of free authentication when at the university (or through corporate licensing as well). One example we came up with was LexisNexis. But there are potentially hundreds of examples, all could be private databases that are accessed through web applications.
My theory is that many private (including financial/government) databases are accessible in this manner. Combined with JVM+Firefox IP grabbing, Javascript/HTML Intranet port-scanning, UDP hole punching (to access internal proxy servers), and large anonymizing networks such as Tor, JAP, and Six/Four... this could lead to some serious abuses of authentication/authorization to vast amounts of private information, especially identity and financial information.
Worse, over the Tor network - the traffic is very anonymized, leaving little direction to track down the source via logs. Covert channels could make this even more difficult to discern that an attack is even occurring.
Attackers would simply need to create a map of Network A connects to Network B connects to WebApp X connects to Database Y. It's a classic security through obscurity subversion. Even if there is an additional authentication step (e.g. a global user/pass), this can usually be discovered/disclosed as well. I have seen companies that have subscription access to web applications that access private databases - and they post the user/pass on an Intranet site that is available to everyone in that company. This used to be prolific with FTP and probably still is. But FTP servers aren't web applications.
I know that free access to Safari and LexisNexis may not excite you - but it probably doesn't excite the people who pay subscriptions to these services (or the companies that receive the payments). This may be all this ends up to be, but I'd love to explore it more.
If you find a web+network (could be HTTP, SQL, XML, XPath, SOAP, JSON, etc) or even a network+network (e.g. FTP, DNS, LDAP, SNMP, CORBA, NFS, NIS, X.500, etc) transitive trust relationship post it here if you like.
I'd also be interested in finding out which webserver/webapp/databases are most interesting. The only list of databases I know about is available here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_databases
Of the interesting, subscription-only based services listed I found Dialog, Hoover's, InfoTrac, LawTel, and PayScale. Not a bad list so far!
Since I lack the database industry clue, if you know of a neat database that allows these types of transitive trust relationships (especially through HTTP), it would be interesting to hear about it here as well.
As a final point, I'm sure you are familiar with some of the other implications this provides. With a freely authenticated website, it is now possible to test that web application for vulnerabilities in parts of the application you may not normally have access to.

RSnake - nicely done and thank you for bringing attention to this!
I found another list of database on Wikipedia
Of which, the US ones seemed most interesting to me personally
I had some premonitions of this when reading this article
about a woman from New Mexico who probably hacked into the NSA call database from her workstation at Sandia National Labs and then got caught. She called the CELL PHONES of some guy in Linkin Park and his wife.
It took me 2 minutes to search for and find her MySpace profile minutes after reading that news article a few months back.
Who wants to bet that she used MySpace from that same computer, and who wants to bet that the investigators PROBABLY opened up that same profile during the investigation? That's one XSS away.

This isn't exactly the same thing you're talking about, but the US govt seems to do similar things, but with reverse DNS lookups: http://www.disa.mil/main/about/publications.html
The only thing I'm basing this on is the image restricted to .gov/.mil and the DSN directory which is supposedly only open to .mil
I've never had the balls (or is it stupidity?) to check, so I don't know whether that's the case or not, but if anyone wants to inform me whether or not those are just reverse DNS lookups, I'd really appreciate it.

Come on... this was a troll module right from the onset. Let it die already.
Phoronix: KQ ZFS Linux Is No Longer Actively Being Worked On
Remember KQ Infotech? KQ Infotech was the Indian company that ported the ZFS file-system to Linux as an out-of-tree kernel module (after deriving the code from the LLNL ZFS Linux work) and KQ's interesting methods of engagement in our forums. The company was successful in delivering an open-source ZFS module for Linux that performed semi-well and didn't depend upon FUSE (the file-systems for user-space module) like other implementations. However, this ZFS Linux code appears to no longer be worked on by KQ Infotech...
Come on... this was a troll module right from the onset. Let it die already.
Open source code can't die. If it has technical merits and no legal issues, it will be picked up again by somebody. If it either lacks technical merits or has legal issues, it will probably stay dormant. But it'll never die as long as the code is available for download.
KQI version may be dead, but if you think zfs on linux is dead, think again! It lives on zfsonlinux.org!
Indeed. It appears the ZFS port was started by the guys at LLNL (only picked up and moved forward by KQI) and they've never slowed down with it. It's under active development right now.Originally Posted by devsk
Also, there's lots of interest in it.

ZFS is more mature in its league then anything else on market and that is open source (or not open).
Development is being continued on open by porters on many platforms, not only Linux. (On Linux one needs to add ZFS native module separately from main Linux because ZFS is CDDL licensed (Floss, can link to other licenses) and Linux is GPL2.
Those platforms are also OpenIndiana (OpenSolaris community continuation), Nexenta, FreeBSD, Schillix, zfs-fuse, OSX, and native Linux port in progress.
And used by companies such as Joyent, Entic etc (One can get VPS servers from them)
OpenSolaris based foundation for Open distributions is IllumOS project, sponsored by Nexenta and others. (One can get payed support from Nexenta)
ZFS is being used in production environment for years (5+) and it can save you from high priced closed and hardware-tied solutions for SAN .
It can even save you form even buying high priced RAID cards/controllers.
Same pool of disks can be used on both x86 and SPARC servers.
ZFS is basically main focal point of best of what file system can give to administrators.
Oracle choose to continue developing it closed, hoping monetizing on it but one should be warned not to install SolarisExpress on their machines first with ZFS.
If you want to use ZFS pool on all supported platforms (Linux, zfs-fusa, FreeBSD, Nexenta, OpenIndiana, S11Express), one should first install eather 2009.06 or from OpenSolaris snv_134 CD (genunix.org) and Then update to both OpenIndiana dev and Solaris11Express.
That way also Linux and FreeBSD can use it - still did not tried to install and boot additional OS'es from same disk(s)/pool, but it is possible since ZFS allows MANY different OS/versions to boot from same ZFS pol, using Boot Environments
It is being reported that Ubuntu is able of booting out of ZFS disk/partition/pool with some caveats, so stay tuned

Questions & Answers
It refers to the firmness of the item, so this item is more firm than soft.
Overstock customercare is completely wrong on this! On this scale 10 represents as soft as possible. This mattress is extremely soft. Thats why it's called plush. You can also note its 15 in thickness as an indication of softness. Don't get it unless you are both very lightweight and like a soft mattress. I have a very similar model from M**ys.

Okay, with the F8 packages not working I used the "normal" installer, and I'm quite surprised. No squeezed screen, no watermark, 3d accel working (not tested on second XServer though), switching VT working, etc!
However, the Wine libGL bug is still not fixed and I still have 2 X processes running. 2D accel hasn't improved much either.
HOWEVER, I now can resize windows while using compiz without lags, so upgrading was good for me this time as this was one thing that really disturbed me!
Great release for me, keep on with the good work AMD!
EDIT: Oh yeah, Got around 10% better FPS on Neverball, too. Ain't too much, especially because Neverball isn't such a high end game, but any improvement is better than none

clean + easy Roll-On Waxer Refill
GoodgirlCan't Live Without ThisThis product is the best. I dont miss the salon at all and I can wax with the smallest growth, so I stay smooth almost all days of the month. I hope Folica does not increase the cost of this product from $7.99.posted Aug 1, 2007Link to this post
MaryWashington DCHome WaxingIf you wax at home this is the best product. I have been using it for around 15 years and am on my 3rd waxer. Not messy, fast - awesome. I hope folica keeps it in stock.posted Jul 27, 2007Link to this post
KristenManhattan, NYGreat Product, Often Hard To FindI love this product. I have been waxing my own legs for years and this product makes the process fast and easy. What can take about an hour at a salon, takes me half the time in the privacy of my own home for a fraction of the price. This product is difficult to find in stores, in Manhattan at least where you can usually find anything, so buying it at Folica.com is so convenient.posted Jul 26, 2007Link to this post
JulaRedmond, WAGood To Have A Few On HandThis is the best personal wax system out there but make sure you have lots of refills around so you dont run out just when you need to wax. The sale price is great for these large refills. I use about 3/4 of a refill to do my armpits, legs and bikini areas.posted Jul 18, 2007Link to this post
NPhiladelphiaFinally Found ItHiIve used Inverness since I was 16 and used to get the refills at Walgreens. They dont stock them anymore and I finally found them here. So happy to find place that carries them. The applicator, etc is so easy to use, not messy at all and much cheaper and faster than getting it done at a salon.-Nposted Jul 9, 2007Link to this post
DaliaCAExcellent!I use those refill with my One Touch Deluxe Cordless Home Waxing System .Unfortunatly its discontinued on the folica.com. But this thing is magical. My husband teases me about all the hair removal product I have in my cabinet. But this is the only thing that works perfectly. The results last weeks. You dont see hair dots on your skin like when you shave. Your legs are smooth and nice to touch! Its not very painful. Once You start, few minutes later Youre ok. The machine itself with the refill costs as much as one trip for wax in a salon. You need one refill(or less) for legs, arms, underarms(not the best for underarms), bikini(the best).posted Jan 10, 2007Link to this post
AnnaCAEasy To UseJust heat it in the device i bought a while back and use it. Easy as 123. it takes a while to heat well but i always allow 55-60 min. i am pleased with this product and i will always get this same one.posted Jan 5, 2007Link to this post
LizGood StuffThis is a great product. Ive owned my personal roll on waxer for years. Its easy, fast and saves me a ton of money. I dont trust myself to wax my own eyebrows, but for everything else, its a breeze!posted Jan 4, 2007Link to this post
Daisy A.Love ItI love this product I have been waxing for years now so it was easy to use and no mess which doesnt happen with regular wax pots. The only thing that bothered me a little was that the wax goes fast if you use them on you legs but as long as you get sufficient replacements youll be fine, & it still saves a lot of $$$! Great!!!posted Nov 16, 2006Link to this post

Starring Josh Brolin as a man who is mysteriously locked away for 20 years, then suddenly and inexplicably released, Lee's remake reportedly hews closer to the 1996 manga source material that inspired Park Chan-wook's 2003 masterpiece.
The bloody remake also stars Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen and Sharito Copley as the film's big bad Adrien Pryce.
Before being picked up by Lee, Stephen Spielberg was attached to direct the project, which would have starred Will Smith.
"Oldboy" hits theaters in the U.S. on October 25.

Special Olympics Southern California athlete Paul Hoffman gets a vision exam from volunteer optometrist Catherine Heyman.
We are all in favor of eliminating unnecessary suffering. Poverty and famine have received billions in aid over the years. What if you could help 200 million people worldwide who suffer needlessly from chronic pain and disease, blindness and hearing loss, shortened life span, depression and suicide?
Philanthropist Tom Golisano joins former President Clinton, Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver and four Special Olympics athletes – Loretta Claiborne from Pennsylvania, USA; Deon Namiseb from Namibia; Dustin Plunkett from California, USA; and Ioana Cioban from Romania – to mark Golisano's commitment of $12 million to the Healthy Athletes program.
At more than 1.2 million free health screening clinics in more than 100 countries, the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes program offers health services and information to athletes in dire need. In the process, Special Olympics has become the largest global public health organization dedicated to serving people with intellectual disabilities. That record of success and benefit led United States businessman and philanthropist Tom Golisano to commit $12 million to expand Special Olympics' health-related services and launch a new Healthy Communities initiative. The donation was announced by former U.S. President Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative event in New York City on 23 September.
U.S. businessman and philanthropist Tom Golisano as he announces his $12 million commitment to Special Olympics.
The new initiative will take the principles of the Healthy Athletes program but expand them from a series of single events to a steady presence in the lives of our athletes with intellectual disabilities and their families. Special Olympics has major offices in 170 countries around the world. Healthy Communities will be launched in seven countries (Mexico, Peru, Romania, Malawi, South Africa, Malaysia, and Thailand) and six states in the U.S. (Arizona, Florida, Kansas, New Jersey, Wisconsin and New York). Healthy Athletes has provided free health screenings and products to athletes for 15 years. See the press release for more details.
Moise Ahoussimou, a poor West African boy with an intellectual disability and next to no vision, is one example. While volunteering at Healthy Athletes, a doctor realized Moise had been blinded by cataracts. He was referred for a simple operation, and Moise left his appointment with restored sight. He saw his father for the first time. "I can see." He grabbed his father's hand. "Hey! Dad, I didn't know you are that tall!" Miracles like Moise's happen at every screening. A volunteer dentist from California, USA saved athlete Dustin Plunkett's life by finding his mouth cancer. Mariam Zakhary of Egypt, fitted with a hearing aid, heard her language and her coach for the first time in her life. Stories like Mariam's are inspiring nations like Egypt to expand their offerings to athletes. All Special Olympics Egypt athletes now receive medical exams and follow-up care.
Healthy Athletes currently offers health screenings in seven areas: Fit Feet (podiatry), FUNfitness (physical therapy), Health Promotion (better health and well-being), Healthy Hearing (audiology), MedFest (sports physical exam), Opening Eyes (vision) and Special Smiles (dentistry). Officially launched in 1997, Healthy Athletes organizes its events in a welcoming, fun environment. Its screenings educate athletes on healthy lifestyle choices and identify problems that may need additional follow-up.
By listening to athletes at events and conducting research over many years, Special Olympics leaders became aware of the lack of quality health care for people with intellectual disabilities and found it unacceptable. We found that people with intellectual disabilities have a 40 percent greater risk for health issues, and that health care professionals are not trained in or experienced with caring for people with intellectual disabilities.
Called into action, we began to explore ways to help using Special Olympics' unique global reach and access to people with intellectual disabilities. The result was the launch of the Healthy Athletes® initiative in 1997. Today, Healthy Athletes provides health screenings free of charge at Special Olympics competitions. Offered in a welcoming, fun environment, these screenings educate athletes on healthy lifestyle choices and identify problems that may need additional follow-up.
Healthy Athletes currently offers health screenings in seven areas: Fit Feet (podiatry), FUNfitness (physical therapy), Health Promotion (better health and well-being), Healthy Hearing (audiology), MedFest (sports physical exam), Opening Eyes (vision) and Special Smiles (dentistry). (Learn more about all these on the Special Olympics Resources site for Healthy Athletes.)
Through a global team of health-care volunteers, Healthy Athletes works to improve access and health care for Special Olympics athletes; make referrals to local health practitioners when appropriate; train health care professionals and students about the needs and care of people with intellectual disabilities; collect, analyze and dessiminate data on the health status and needs of people with intellectual disabilities; and advocate for improved health policies and programs for people with intellectual disabilities.
Healthy Athletes' influence is evident with more than 120,000 healthcare professionals trained, free health screenings provided to more than 1.2 million athletes, and 90,000 free pairs of eyeglasses given to athletes. And Healthy Athletes continues to grow each year with help from a global network of volunteers, in-kind donations and other financial support.
For more information on Healthy Athletes, contact Lynn Erickson, Manager of Health Communications, at +1 (202) 824 0247 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Help us reach more people with intellectual disabilities and bring them the power of sport to build confidence and good health.
