How many nines before we call it? 5-9s?

The Sabres plot from game 18 or so to now looks like a cartoon mountain background. Also, did we ever decide whether the Y-axis should be frozen with a "here be dragons" note or adjust down to show the plot? I suppose it'd depend if there was more than one team down there.

Awesome: listening to my wife make my kid laugh. Puppies and ktitens can't hold a cuteness-candle to a 5-month-old laughing.

I think you have that backwards, this year is all about losing battles to win the war.

Nice!

Ahem. ;)

I think adding Richards is a bit odd, although I suppose "free" wasn't a good enough price (waivers), but maybe there's some plan for the Sabres to get him plus some assets. I think the roster would look OK if you just bumped the centers up, although having two rookie centers may be a recipe for disaster. Probably better to slide Zemgus into Richards spot and move Grigs up to LW2. He really doesn't belong in the 4th line anyways.

Nope, as much as I'm behind the tank I'm still annoyed when EDM scores.

"Giving blows, accepting blows."

Looks like a gold Skagen.

Maybe Le Canucks feel they need to beef up their D for Buffalo tomorrow.

Gamecenter on my PS3 and Phone is really shaky tonight, I need to watch the SuperTankBowl. All I get is moments and freeze, moment and freeze, moment and never come back. At least watching on my laptop and forcing the quality to low is giving my somewhat jumpy vision but not stopping.

Someone had that idea, but I think it was decided it was too much.

Ah, I wasn't reading that closely I guess. In any case, it's tough to say players will want out ofr Buffalo when 10 years ago, Pittsburgh wasn't really in that better of shape either as a franchise or a city. One of the G will probably move, but the return will be underwhelming (or as a throw-in as part of a bigger trade). G in general don't get a lot unless you're a huge name (Miller).

I was going to mention the Pitts. Pitts felt a lot like Buffalo when I was there earlier this year, but 5-10 years further along with the rebuilding. There was a lot of talk of moving the Pens just before Crosby came around, They've had it good for the last 10 years or so, and you may be more right in that kids being drafted now are going to put more stock into that then the periods where they were terrible.

It's mentioned in the second link, I think, but the dictionaries they use have to be small or combining words spirals in complexity quickly. The crackers will use the top 1000 or 10000 words, so if you keep out of those you'll be in better shape. The interesting thing I saw in there is they'll use the strings the find first on a given site as the dictionary when they ratchet up the complexity. It makes sense, since in a lot of cases a system will attract similar people and similar passwords. There's undoubtedly a user or 3 here whose password is "sabres", so for the later passes they'll feed that back in as part of the dictionary. Some user thinks they're being clever with a password like "Sabres1970#394ever" but really that's not as strong as you'd think because individuals have used each of the components in their crappy passwords. Interesting stuff. I guess the best system (other than completely random) is to use long passwords with obscure words with intentional misspellings. Of course, part of this experiment is that the password list in the articles is using MD5, which is a terrible hash for passwords. If they used a better hash (SHA256, for instance), then these attacks become far more computationally difficult and take a lot longer.

That's two big men agreeing with each other.

I might even agree with you on it's merit, but is one center more valuable than (hopefully) an entire first line. I'd have to think about it.

The only at-all possible move would be if Buffalo takes #1, and #2 throws a bunch of stuff that could be considered. Is McDavid better than Eichel, Eberle, and Hall, for instance?

I didn't get a chance to watch earlier, that kid has an awesome mohawk.

You'd have to space out the names by hand, but the rest of the numbers are close enough that you don't really need to line them up.

The funny thing about Volbeat is about half the time I hear them I think it's a new Metallica song.

True, but it depends on what attack vector we're talking about. If we're talking about guessing, I'd hope that most of the sites we're talking about have password guessing rate limits and lock outs after X bad guesses. If we're talking about someone stealing an encrypted password database, I'd think player names would be long enough and far enough down the list that it'll buy you time (assuming the encryption is well done, of course). Even if the encryption is not that good (no salting, for instance) most Rainbow tables aren't going to go out to 20 characters. To sum up, longer less complex is better than short, complex passwords, and phrases are a lot easier to remember than complex strings. http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/06/password-complexity-rules-more-annoying-less-effective-than-length-ones/ I do concede your point though, I'm just paranoid about losing the keys to the kingdom with a centralized password management solution (either actually losing the db or having that get compromised).
