  • I have perhaps 150 old VHS cassette tapes that I want rid of. Can they be recycled easily (in the UK)?

    Last call for old media; a handful will be kept, and of those a few converted to digital.

  • What we really NEED is a kickstarter to aggregate all the cracking of these #LinkedIn passwords

    2012/06/06 20:56:38 BST

    Reduce replication of effort. Who wants to dummy up some wireframes and a REST API?

  • I found something rather interesting in the alleged #LinkedIn password hashes – salting? corruption?

    2012/06/06 17:52:56 BST

    There is definitely some data weirdness. My old LinkedIn password plaintext is cud5dfyy – yes I know that publishing a plaintext is probably stupid but it’s short enough to bruteforce in Hashcat, has been changed, was only used for LinkedIn and is really really old, so I might as well save you the trouble. If…

  • “The passwords were encrypted with technology.” #cnet #gottaloveit – from the 2010 #linkedin password change

    2012/06/06 15:28:18 BST

    LinkedIn did a good job with people management in the last password incident, I hope they do the same this time. LinkedIn is disabling passwords of users whose e-mail addresses were included in the customer data that was exposed in an attack on the Gawker blog sites. The professional-networking site is taking this action to…

    If it turns out that LinkedIn passwords have leaked… …here’s what you should do Rumours are circulating on the net that a database of hashes of LinkedIn passwords has been published on a Russian hacker site. I cannot confirm this, but if the article referred to above is correct then there is a risk to…

    Six years later, after many stops and starts and intervening books and other projects, the original “labor of love” is complete. Ultimately the task included steep learning curves in many aspects of digital modeling (including diving into the deep waters of “nCloth,” Maya’s system for controlling dynamics that allows the canvas awnings to droop and…

  • #RaspberryPi and Kirby cushion factory could be answer to UK tech sector boost – The Inquirer

    2012/06/05 11:19:45 BST

    More on this story… IT’S NOT OFTEN that I’m interested in documentaries about cushion making, but I made an exception for the recent BBC2 programme The Town Taking on China, which ended up having some interesting implications for the UK technology industry.
