I really don't see how it would be so difficult to render every possible combination of passwords and then simply search for them. With a powerful enough processor, it should be fairly easy to crack any MD5—and not just "dictionary words" or "pre-saved" passwords. There are only so many combinati...
@Moshe I agree. I'm apparently some sort of weird political extremist, so that doesn't mean much. I was very good at the college "game". To me that's just a sign it didn't teach me very efficiently. ;)
@Moshe I have some thoughts about that blog post. I don't completely agree. I'll try and express my thoughts better in a bit (perhaps when I don't have to type with my thumbs).
I find it only means that in general if by "good" you mean "government" :P
My worldview is of course totally skewed by the fact that my grades were supposedly going to get me "anywhere I want" but in reality they don't make up for my utter lack of interview skills.
I usually only do well if I don't really want the position. I can be my own worst enemy.
That's how I ended up doing an internship in IT straight out of college even though I wanted to be a programmer. Got ALL the interviews, only that offer.

And room owners can't ban either. But I could set the room to Gallery mode and then manually grant talk permission to the dozens of people who occasionally come through here.
@Moshe So here's my 2 cents about your blog post: I think that those statements you're debunking ("College is important because it rounds you as a person", "...will get you a better job", etc) work better if you throw "can" in there. College can help make you a more well-rounded person, it can help you get a job. It's not a guarantee, and it's not the only way, but it is a way; and it has been successful in many, many cases.
Of course, I see your side too - college is not a magic wand that will make you successful in life (like many people seem to advocate).
I group up in a small town of predominately white, middle to upper-middle class, protestant families. Low crime. Most people were friendly. It was...pretty sheltered.
Going to college was kind of a culture shock at first, but it definitely helped me become a better person in many ways (learning to interact with all kinds of people, being more tolerant, handling situations I had never been exposed to).
Anywho @Moshe, I enjoyed your blog post. It made me think =)

Did the CSS for the website just change? The vote counts look funny
