You're right, but the samenpoint remains. They shouldn't be storing passwords using reversible encryption. There's no practical reason for it. Presumably, anyone who compromises the system would have access to not only the stored password but the code that encrypts it.

It's always seemed to me to make far more sense than the Shannon-Fano coding that came before it. I guess it's hard to imagine what the problem looked like when starting from a position not informed by all the things that came afterward.

Doesn't first-to-file eliminate prior art as a means of invalidating a patent unless that prior art was patented? What does this mean for things like open-sources software?

Thanks for considering this. It's always seemed to me to be a problem that is artificially difficult. That maybe we are doing it wrong and there is a much better way. IMHO (and I have no proof of this opinion) the conversion between time space and frequency space should be linear and trivial.

There isn't a "rainbow table" file format. It's a concept. The table cam be filled with any data available, not just brute force. Assuming that websites don't use salt algorithms, they are the most efficient way to crack passwords in the real world. Most users don't use strong passwords. Add to that, the network of com...

as long as there's resolution, it's fine and i can fully appreciate it. but if the chord never resolves, then i'm really tense for the rest of the day, because I *do* expect it and it never comes. i've been singing in classical choirs since i was very young and unresolved dissonance has always really bothered me, idk

Thanks for the clarification. Since the patent office has shown that it is totally unqualified to evaluate prior art, this just takes it out of their hands and puts it in the courts.

Though if you're talking about a proxy that you "use from work" as the parent mentioned, they're probably MITMing your SSL traffic. They can do this transparently by adding a new root cert to your certificate store. In other words, if the proxy operator is also the administrator of your machine, don't rely on SSL.
