What "password system"? User passwords? What is the difference between
Vista passwords and user passwords in other operating systems? And which
kind of passwords can be cracked in 25 days? The standard ones
"password", "myname123") or the better ones

D00d, where'd you get my password from?!?

I found it on that sticky on your monitor ;-)

Did you know that ISPs take steps to protect people's passwords so for
example when I type:

user name: xxxxxxxx
password: xxxxxxxx

It should blank it out cool ah?

Oh rats, look at that, my password for all to see.

Not only can your 8800 crack passwords, it can run PhysX, without the
PhysX card installed. Well, it can, see:

Although they don't have it available for the nVidia GPUs yet,
Folding@Home (se my sig) has a version available for some of the recent
series of the ATi cards. Also a version for the PS3.

Yeah, that's because ATI can do real math and Nvidia just has lots
of frames per second.

What a BS.

Seriously though, when I was running SETI@Home, I was hoping someone
would come out with a version that used my GPU, so I could get extra
results completed and edge out my competitors (a lab full of OpenVMS
Alpha systems).

Are you implying nVidia cards are just better optimized for games? :-P
