Quote from Inouva :You can't use the Onboard video with the one you plug in the pci-ex socket

The video onboar outomaticaly turns off when detect a video card in the pci socket

Not true. The Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 has Hybrid CrossfireX support.

Quote from Senninha25 :very smart thinking, but saving money? for a team like Red Bull? it's not they have a small budget or anything.

Racing teams can never have too much money. The money they now have 'free' can be used for other things (unless they already knew about this deal when they were budgeting for this year so the 'extra' money has already been spent).

My actual home screen is quite basic...I keep most things on other screens. First and last screens aren't used, second contains messages, third contains Internet stuff (Market, Browser, GMail, Navigation etc), fifth contains a few apps and sixth contains twitter feed (which I don't use that much). I've edited the shots to remove location and SMS info. Phone is an HTC Desire.

Hi Mrs. Underskoar!

If it really is invalid you should contact the devs.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :nope, it doesn't make any sounds

Does the case have a speaker? If so, is it connected properly to the motherboard (looking at an image of the board the speaker header is located just beside the SATA1 port)?

Quote from BlueFlame :We know Petrov is a definate points finnish kind of guy

Quote from BlueFlame :at least when he made a rookie mistake he just took himself out and not everyone else.

Ah, those kind of points. Why didn't you say? I thought you meant F1 world championship points...you know, the ones you get for finishing races in points-paying positions. The ones which he scored hardly any of last year. So, I can't see your evidence for saying he is a "definite points finish kind of guy". On the evidence we have he really isn't. Your gut isn't evidence and it doesn't award points.

Quote from BlueFlame :have you even watched F1 in 2010?

Yes.

Quote from BlueFlame :Petrov was good

No.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :A password which I would personally advise would include phonetics, character replacement, letter transposition, etc.

So for example if you wanted your password to be password, I would suggest DR0\/\/5sAP

Secure and fairly easy to remember. Or I would ask them to use a lyric from their favorite song, use the first letter of each word, obviously switch with letter/number swaps, etc.

OK, so you want people to remember 10 different passwords like your example above? Didn't you just say the average user wouldn't use a 16 character password and now you want them to remember 10 passwords which aren't that easy to remember? Where's the upside in that compared to a single password like you could use for a password manager? With the password manager approach you make the user remember 1 password (and make sure they make it relatively complex) and that gets them access to all their other passwords (each of which is more secure than the ones you'd have them remember).

Quote from S14 DRIFT :I was reading on actually crackability of some ciphers and so far it's estimated even with a 128bit AES key, it would take approximately the length a very ****ing long time to crack. With all of the comptuers in the world trying to get the key, it would still be till the end of time trying before they got the correct key, presuming it's the last one they find. :o

I suppose in processing time/encryption strength, the rise on a chart would be like a cliff face in favour of strength, regardless; I would tell a customer to use 256 bit AES keys, but that wasn't really what I was talking about. I was stating 128 is enough, to me for a home user, 256 is just saying "mine is bigger than yours", and no to password managers.


ePenis doesn't come into it...it's all about practical security. 128 bit is only 'enough' if you can't use 256 bit for some reason.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :It depends on what you define as secure. I don't think that having all of your passwords in one place whether encrypted or not, is as secure as having individually stored passwords (again, whether encrypted or not)

Ah, but you're totally missing the point. If you use a password manager you can use pseudo-randomly generated (read: very strong) passwords for all your accounts. If you're just remembering all your passwords you end up making them simple enough that you can recall them quickly. That's the major difference. In your scenario above Bob ends up with passwords like "bob", "bob1234", "bobby", "bobbob". In the password manager scenario Bob ends up with passwords like "coiicbdcr974itn?c8h43", "fv0i9b09uy5pgnrpivh ;" and a master password that should be more difficult to brute force than "bob", "bob1234" etc.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :It's clear we're never going to agree on this. Advice given by us both is perfectly valid, it just depends on your own standpoint.

I disagree. Your 'advice' (which seems to be that you should just use a a slightly leet-ised word?) is massively uninformed.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :On the subject, AES256 bit is over the top, 128bit would take 10^7^33 or something different possible permutatioins (I can't remember exactly, I worked it out on some paper at work and I've been half asleep since I got home at 4pm). In terms of processing power vs usability and security, 128bit is excellent.

The average home user now has a massive amount of processing power available to them. Even on a 10 year old CPU the task of encrypting and decrypting a few hundred characters is nothing. For a very, very slight increase in encryption/decryption time you get a massive amount more security. Why would you advise someone to use a weaker form of security if the upside was barely noticeable? Sounds like bad advice to me...

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Stop with the sarcasm, is Scottish a bi-word for that now? It doesn't make you look any smarter, just makes you look like a cock.

It doesn't matter how I look. What matters is the quality of what I'm actually saying. The quality of what I'm actually saying (i.e. my advice on security) is far better than yours, despite you claiming to provide security advice for companies with "very secure systems".

Quote from S14 DRIFT :No average home user will have a 16 character password.

People are (slowly) improving their online security. I don't think it's a terrible stretch with continued education (which you claim to provide ). Anyway, you concede that in that situation brute forcing is not an option, yes?

Third party / third party fire and theft?

Quote :You should also be aware that if you do have an accident and there is damage to your own vehicle that Third Party insurance will not cover the cost of any repairs to your vehicle; you are liable for damages, breakdown fees and towing fees yourself.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :He uses a password manager and uses B0B1234! as the "master" key for encryption, and then encrypts all of his passwords with whatever your choice of encryption.

Right...and what happens when the user chooses a non-trivial master password (as they should!)? Something relatively long (say ~16 characters, as before), containing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation. Now the task of brute forcing the master password has gone from something you make sound easy to something which is totally unrealistic.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :You cannot bitch everytime anyone says anything that you don't agree with.

I don't...just when people authoritatively say things that are either inaccurate, misleading or likely to cause problems.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Yes. Maybe I actually like educating people about security rather than just saying "here, install this.."

OK, if you're in the mood for educating us tell us why a password manager application (built into the OS or 3rd party) is so "silly". What is your idea of a better alternative?

Quote from Pox3d :Processor got delivered today, only to find out my original processor is a socket 775 not 478.

I'm very sorry about that (I can't apologise enough). It looks like your board is available in both varieties and I mistakenly thought it was only available in socket 478.

I've never been a fan of supercharger whine, especially not that loud. If you want a fast estate/wagon why not just go for the obvious Audi (e.g. RS6 Avant, RS4 Avant)/Mercedes (e.g. C63 AMG Estate)/BMW (e.g. M5 Touring)/Volvo (e.g. V70) offerings? If price is a concern you could get a nice used model of at least some of the above for the same price as this CTS-V and you'd probably end up with a better car.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :I've said this before and I'll say it again, never upgrade such an old system. You won't be happy with the results. Save your money and buy a new system. Any dual core system will beat the shit out of a single core P4.
