What's vu?

Read the main news post lately?

VU distributes the game, basically, I believe. VU has to test it and stuff which could take about a week or two, then hl2 will go gold and be available in a week or two after that..or more depending on a lot of stuff..

RC really means nothing. During the testing of Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, I believe we went up to RC5 before they finally said "gold". So the keyword here isn't "release candidate" we want to hear "gold".

Larger passwords with numbers mean a more complex hash, and that means it will take more time to decode.



I've got a stopwatch to see how fast Simplex can correct me.

I use a combination of letters, numbers, and § types of symbols like that. Try cracking that.

Oh my god.



This event rivals the discoveries of Galileo, the achievements of Einstein, space exploration, and the fall of the Soviet Union. Let us take this date with us through history.

I still say November 30th release date.

This is a common misconception. The truth is that certain lengths of passwords are SIGNIFICANTLY harder to crack, while others are easier. There was a study done on this a while back. I think it was something like 7, 11, and 13 were hardest, 8 and 9 were comparitively easy, and the rest were somewhere in the middle.

... I know that. I was merely joking that you had given out my password in your previous post (which you didn't, of course). =P

Zips is far too simple to come up with such a complex password. I'll put my money on "asdf." =P

Great, I thought this was something you knew already, but then you posted, and whatever.

surely a 1 letter password is easier than 8?
