A while back, I found out I had a bad CPU after replacing everything

Hi,
an Acer notebook with a Synaptics Touchpad makes some trouble
here. My primary problem is: I restart the mouse daemon and then I
can move the mouse only for a short distance; suddenly the mouse
freezes.
To analyze the problem I do the following:

# dd if=/dev/sy

Hi,
I have 7.2-RELEASE running on two older laptops and both have had a

Good call on the hashing, reducing the quality of the passwords, Kurt.
The hash generated passwords are for online accounts, as
auto-generated initial passwords and such.
But I'm also looking for a good way to generate high quality crypto
keys. In the later case, the data being protected are disk

As I understand it I would have to double the length of a hashed
password for it to be as secure as an un-hashed one, as each pair of
characters represent one byte. Aye?

I wouldn't put it quite like that, it's the hexadecimal representation
I am confused about the usage of the tag for src.
I took a look at the web pages and found the following choices:
_7_BP
_7_2_BP
_7_2_0_RELEASE
_7_2
But could not find anything that told me where -p2 fits into this!!

-type allows different types of files to be located -- 'f' - regular
file, 'd' - directory, 'l' - link, etc.
Have a look at find(1) for more info.

What is "-type" supposed to do? I've never used it before, never

Type is used to specify the type of file to be found.
f is a regular file.
