4. So, you are saying that you don’t agree with security researchers trying to keep up with what crackers are probably already doing? Active research and full disclosure is the only way to get a decent security climate.

   First quantum computing stupidness, and now this. You should really brush up on your general computing knowledge.

7. What if someone hacked Folding@Home? 1 PETAFLOPS to crack passwords with. It would take a second or two to crack passwords.

9. Hmm not good, still publicity of this will make people reliase they need to beef things up, nothing is “100% safe”, and will always be breakable, its important therefore to stay ahead of these geeks.

13. All that raw power and games, like PES2008, still show ‘tearing’ and very little anti-aliasing.

    Shameful.

14. Cracks an 8 digit password in 8 hours eh?
    How come then our games are only lasting 6 hours?
    How can they put a man on the moon but not make my trainers smell nice?
