But that’s only if the attacker already knows that the password is all digits. If the password system allows the usual a-zA-Z plus special characters, then the attacker has to try those, too. Now, a length of only 7 (or 10 if you use the area code) makes it a pretty easy password. And given the prevalence of…

I’ll play!  Kenny Brack, GT40, rain.

17 years ago, at the very same track, Max’s dad Jos crashed into race leader Juan Montoya while being lapped. At least Max still finished second.

The people in Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Minneapolis, Boston, New York City, Pittsburgh, and Detroit have zero sympathy for you.  If you want it to get dark at the same time every day, move to the equator and leave the rest of us in peace.

Similar incident happened in Moscow back in 1982.

I’d buy that for a dollar!

I would say that this situation provides an excellent example of why they need to be, though. The whole ethos of “move fast and break stuff” is merely annoying when it’s an app running on your phone that crashes 5 times a day. When it’s in control of a two-ton missile running loose among the public, it can be…

Only 2.5 hours?  I admire your restraint.

Hmmmm.... I think it’s time for the State of California to sue Levandowski for calling himself an engineer when he clearly isn’t. I seriously doubt that he’s passed the PE exam. And if he has, then he can be sued for negligence if one of his designs injures a member of the public.

I don’t think this article was saying these two incidents had anything in common. It’s just that the SFO incident had the potential to have more casualties than Tenerife.

The current deadliest aviation disaster occurred in 1977 under similar circumstances, when KLM Flight 4805 coming in for landing in a fog collided with Pan Am Flight 1736 sitting on the runway in Tenerife, killing all 583 people on both flights.

Space is hard.

Looks like the driver role got recast after Daniel signed with Renault...

It was a funny angle.

Have you ever taken a physics class? Did you pass? With a D? There are so many basic, high school physics class errors in this article. I’m not even going to mention the spelling/grammar errors.  I can’t even.

Do you even drag, bro?

Unless the explosion shut the engine off, I’m impressed she had the presence of mind to stop that quickly.  I’m pretty sure I would have given up all control of the vehicle and it would have continued on aimlessly until it hit something big enough to stop it.

For me, Windows Phone was far and away the best phone OS.  It was unfortunately paired with the sparsest ecosystem.  RIP Windows 10 Mobile.  Most of the world will never know the splendor that they missed.

We like to talk all the time about when cars will exceed human limits. With Top Fuel dragsters, we may already be there.

Thanks to XKCD pointing us to the work of Newton and a handy story about an unintentional super-cannon, the math is already done for us.
