@TessellatingHeckler Even if you take that into account, there's a big difference between 2^44 and 2^70. For a dictionary as small as 2048 words, it's going to take 2^44 tries to get a four-word password, similar to what a brute-force would be.

However, if the attackers would employ dictionary words separated by spaces, even then the second password would have ~2^70 guesses (roughly the amount of words in the English language to the power of 4) which is a lot more than the 2^44 guesses you'd get by brute-forcing.

As we have been trying to explain the past few minutes.

@AshleyNunn Except it's not stupid, nor antiquated.

I do not doubt the existence of bi men.

@AshleyNunn No, I mean, you can't do that AND donate.

Well yes

@AshleyNunn Orientation has nothing to do with it

And I'd be surprised if unprotected sex with multiple people isn't on the list in itself, it is here anyway.

@AshleyNunn Pretty sure you can't have unprotected sex with men who have sex with men

I don't know how they did it exactly, just saying it makes sense to draw that conclusion if you have enough data

But you can extrapolate knowing how many people do get tested and demographics

Not enough, obviously.

@ShotgunNinja Many people get tested regularly.

@MadScientist Exactly.

@ShotgunNinja You notice aids, generally not HIV

Or people who have been in the UK within a risk period of mad cow

@AshleyNunn In the same way rejecting people who admit to having unsafe sex with people they don't know is discriminatory, yes

@ShotgunNinja Then simply yes

It's based on their sexual activity.

@FEichinger It's not based on their sexuality

You don't generally notice HIV, no

@ShotgunNinja HIV is a virus, aids is a syndrome

@LessPop_MoreFizz Why is it misleading? Screening can have false negatives

So not at all based on anything antiquated

Still a huge risk factor

It's 20%

Yes, I remembered it wrong

> In 2007, the largest estimated proportion of HIV/AIDS diagnoses among adults and adolescents in the U.S. were men who have sex with men (MSM). While this category is only 2% of the U.S. population[26] they accounted for 53% of the overall diagnoses and 71% among men.[27] According to a 2010 federal study, one in five men who have sex with men are HIV positive and nearly half don't realize it.

@FAE I'm basing this on statistics from... 2005?

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's what I thought too.

@RonanForman A significant portion (significantly over half) of men who have sex with men have HIV/aids

The person who called me from Sanguin was rather vague about it

@FAE Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can't donate blood with fluoxetine in it.

@RonanForman Mad cow IIRC

I'm pretty sure I can't donate blood. Maybe they could give it to a depressed person.

@OrigamiRobot Cool

This is... interesting to log into

Can we do a new topic now? :o

I'm pretty sure this is the first Arqade anniversary

@Sterno That sounds like awareness of webmasters more than food.

Can't figure out hexagon at all

Triangle in 5 is easy

How is that not a hexagon dammit

@badp, ooo, didn't mean to make you cry

But now I've gone and thrown it all awaaaay

@WorldEngineer I earned this name!

My username keeps confusing me.

That is disturbing

@MadScientist Then you don't deserve your crew.
