Yes, amateur radio callsigns make for great passwords. How many people do that s**t nowadays anyway?
It's a very niche group - the article should give general tips, not "if you own a boat, then...".
The segment of the population that are radio geeks tend to overlap with the segment which are security geeks. You can get your Ham license at hacker events like HOPE.

So basically, the people who already know this s**t (security geeks) get tips on how to do it. Wonderful. This only helps, then, the people who, at the same time, have a Ham license, yet are not security geeks, since otherwise this is either useless or known information.

Interesting fact.
9 will be the first thousandth page where people will want to pwn the one right after it, not the thousandth itself.
Only 498 more pages to go.

So you're lazy ?

You may want to get a virus scanner, since yes, macs can still get viruses. If you're still keeping up risky behaviors from your windows computers, your mac computers will have the same problems.

I wonder.
Why do you quote a post you haven't read? Is it just out of courtesy, for him to know you're talking to him?

The Turing thing?
That actually happened. I've been to Bletchley, the barracks are still there, as is the mansion, and Collosus (a replica), and other computer history related machines. The Enigma cypher is pretty interesting, and if it weren't for bad Axis practices (using cribs), it still wouldnt've been broken (there are messages still not decrypted).

if not better

Stupid, ignorant comment.

wow... only quoting part of my sentence. rolleyes

I don't see how that's relevant.

Photo-editing, video editing, photoshop and gimp work just as well, if not better on a Windows computer.

You could've left it at "work just as well", but you decided to sneak in an "if not better". That's the bullshit, and that's the ignorance. I don't see anything wrong with "Photo-editing, video editing, photoshop and gimp work just as well on a Windows computer".

So before you go crying foul because I only quoted the part of your sentence I disagreed with, think before you act, and think if that quoting lacked attenuating context or misrepresented what you said.
Hint. It didn't.

You're better off reading a tutorial about this. You haven't.
Read this


Or this

No.
W3Schools is the worst place to learn JS. Its examples and code are all based on 1995 practices and should not be followed (for ******** sake, the introductory page uses document.write). Avoid at all costs.

Without using decimal numbers you have more precision with farenheit.

Without using the number 1, decimal is more precise than binary.

I hate #C&T I got banned for saying that Celsius is more accurate than fahreneit. 0-100 32-212, really?

Then you got banned justly. There is a linear relation between Celcius and Fahrenheit. It is a bijection. Then, for every value in Celcius, there is a corresponding value in Fahrenheit, and viceversa. There is no more precision in either.

EDIT:

More intuitive maybe, but more accurate no. If anything it's easier to be more precise with Fahreneit without using decimals then it is to be as precise in Celsius.

That's also bullshit.
EDIT: I should clarify. The reason it's bullshit is because you gain absolutely nothing - you'll have less decimals, but you'll have larger numbers. I could just multiply Celcius by a thousand and I'd get no decimals in most real life situations, while I'd be exactly as precise - "not using decimals" isn't a useful measure.
