Please don't use hashes for this. Use bcrypt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt). Hashes are designed to be easy to compute, bcrypt is adaptive in the sense that it can be made harder to compute over time, so it's a lot harder to brute force. It also adds a salt by default.

pd: you should telnet/nc to 4ws.cl 8800 to connect.

It's working at 4ws.cl:8800

I've written a (very) basic mud server in node.js (in like 8 hours). Maybe you'll be interested: https://github.com/farevalod/nodemud (I'd appreciate some comments on it too!)

Chapter 4 of Jeffrey Friedl's "Mastering Regular Expressions" goes in depth about NFA/POSIX NFA/DFA. It even has car analogies!

Did you try "sudo apt-get install fancontrol"?

In the context of this discussion, I believe "a few billion dollars" would be pretty cheap.

Actually, this makes me think. The area now dissipating heat is much smaller (perimeter of the square * h, and used to be the area of the square). You have to dissipate the heat. The solution really can't be as simple as the article proposes.

What? Why is this, isn't memory indexed for direct access?

I learned R some time ago in university. I've heard of lots of newly graduated colleagues that now work doing "SPSS consulting" (whatever that means) for big businesses. But I can't really see how you could use R to parse financial data, becaule I lack the financial background to understand what it means. Maybe that's what SPSS provides, and what singingfish means with "you don't need to know what you're doing".

How well R competes with SPSS?
