That's why you need PBKDF2 with at least tens of thousands of iterations or bcrypt/scrypt.

Well marginally better than Windows home edition

@Sandro Windows Server as a web application server is best used with ASP.NET. You're better off using Linux to run a PHP server.

^----- that.

you can install php on iis quite easily

a linux server is cheaper

And more reliable

hopefully with MS getting fully behind mono and them making .NET open sourced you'll be able to run ASP.NET sites on linux boxes soon

You kind of can already

It's just a massive pain and it's missing a lot of features

Hmmm

what site is suitable for asking about running programs on a old kindle via firmware updates

Does it run Android?

!!caat

@BenN That sounds like my kind of server, where do I get one? :-D

@cat mono-project.com

good luck!

Hello! Anyone familiar with Procomm + 1.1B by Intuitive Communications?

I actually have no clue about it but it turns out theres a computer where I work that uses it

I'm not entirely sure of what it does other than transfer information to a sewing machine

what is the issue that you are having with it?

is the sewing machine directly connected to the PC via USB or some other connection?

my mother has a computer controlled sewing machine

serial port

the issue is rather "dumb" per say

it wont recognize the connection

and the input characters turn out as just symbols

im sailing unexplored waters

this software is older than me

the sewing machine recognizes the connection

but the computer doesnt

Is this suggested edit a bit too radical?

OP used .44 Magnum ammo for energy comparison with an 18650 cell. The edit was meant to make it more technically accurate.

IMO the whole apples to grapes comparison itself serves zero purpose to begin with, it is a hype statement that only creates an interesting read, not a idea of what your actually dealing with.

if you want to compare 22longs to 44mags , even that would be a rediculous energy comparison, but might be slightly more valid.

@JustDoIt what OS?

we dont see people saying things like, the ammount of gasoline carried in the average car is enough gas (when vaporised) to create a mid sized MOAB bomb that could level a few houses. Or that there is enough hydrogen energy in the lake to blow up the whole town :-)

@Burgi clamav I suppose

@Psycogeek Answer author approved the edit.

Sweet. Upgrading to Windows 10 doesn't require a CD key.

If the machine is already activated using another key

And you delete your CD key from the copy of Windows you're upgrading

It just warns you you'll have to enter a new one after upgrading, and it automatically pulls the same one when you do

Yup

Heck it didn't even need my Win 7 CD key to begin with. Which is good because the CoA on the laptop is unreadable.

Managed to clean install Win 7 and convince it to activate itself using the SLIC from my BIOS

Upgraded to Win 10, W10 generated itself a new CD key and activated itself.

Then go back to my old Win 8.1 that I was actually running on the laptop, delete the CD key from W8.1, upgrade to W10 in place, and it reactivates itself.

Smart.

Also means its easy to install W10 over an existing Windows 7/8.1 install without worrying about it using/upgrading the wrong CD key, just delete the CD key from your W7/8.1 install first.

Nice of Microsoft to have actually designed it smart and sensibly...

robot wars is back and its really really good :D

I need to see if I can find that.

@Burgi Yeah I heard

the professor guy was saying the biggest change in battle robots in the last 15 years is decent lithium batteries

anyway, nn

Heh, I hadn't thought of that
