I use a very similar setup, however one issue with the example you've given is that by using the first two letters of the domain means that even a bot could be written to compare the first N charaters of each password to the domain, and can make an assumption on what another domain's password could be. I know, it's a stretch.
A slightly better method is [for example] to prepend the first 2 vowels and append the last 2 consonants to the password. Sure, you have to remember slightly more complicated rules, and how to deal with edge cases, eg. 3m.com.
Also, it's a good idea to select a base password the "appears" random after the hashing is done - in your example, the prefix stands out because the symbols are crammed in at the front.
Ah yes, Brian Sewell (who insists on calling Mary Magdalen, the woman, not the college, Mary Maudlin) is absolute proof that critics are failed artists.
I would argue that counting headers is legal - I see it as being similar as to being charged for the weight of a parcel including the packaging. However, as somebody else has pointed out, charging for ATM overheads is plain wrong as it is their choice to use that method, plus it's all in their network, so it's not like they're passing on peering bandwidth charges.
One of our [self employed] brokers called me over to have a look at his laptop - BT (UK ISP) help centre wanted to update. Out of morbid curiousity I ran it. All it was was an program that launched a URL in Internet Explorer (not the default browser) and took you to their help website (no activex etc). What the fuck did it need to be updated for? All they needed to do is create a http shortcut on the desktop or start menu, but no, some dimwit decided they needed an executable to do the job. Probably because they got a splash screen.
... I don't go to restaurants staffed exclusively by illegals.
Out of interest, how do you determine this - do you require ID, base it only on looks, or on how much English they can speak? Other than the fact that you appear to be confusing illegal immigrants with immegrants, you've got a valid point.
Cash is anonymous. Rather useful if you want to avoid tax. And yes I have used it for that and no I don't give a damn if you disapprove so save your breath.
Ah, we've now got to the nub of it. I was wondering who would seriously trust a piece of handwritten paper that hopefully will be worth the money. As far as I can see, the people that want to keep cheques going are exactly the one you should never trust a cheque from.
Seeing as you seem to mention builders and workmen a lot, it would appear that you work in the building trade - there's a surprise - always looking for a loophole and a shortcut.
Why are cheques so much more secure? They can still bounce, or I could call up the bank and ask them to cancel my chequebook, and still write them out. Sure, it's fraudulent, but if I'm willing not to pay somebody, the I probably don't care about upsetting some lawn care guy.
... or an insignificant matter of money (although don't necessarily have that money cause you didn't stop at the bank) how do you pay some one?
Easy, I log onto internet banking and queue the transfer for tomorrow. If you're relying on the cheque clearing delay as a free overdraft, I think you've got bigger worries.
You could hand him cash - they still have that, they just don't have that out-dated form of transferring money. I can't see the benefit of cheques.
* You still need a bank account, so they're still traceable, ie. You can't use them for hiding funds, unless you take them to some dodgy cheque cashing place, which will take a percentage. I suppose you bank off-shore, but the issuer will still be able to determine where the money has gone. * They take longer to clear, as the bank has to verify the issuer that there are cleared funds. The money also tends to "disappear" for a few days, so the bank doesn't have to pay interest on the money.
I haven't had to write a cheque for years, not even when I bought my flat, and I can't wait for the day that they're no longer accepted in the UK - it's a pain in the arse for us to have to go the bank to lodge cheques from our customers (the motor trade are slow to catch up). I have even paid my car cleaning guy (£10) via bank transfer.

WTF, is this true? I very rarely sleep with my curtains closed and my bedroom looks over a quiet residential street. If my neighbours cop an eyeful, so what, I don't care, but if they're offended then maybe they shouldn't be looking up into my bloody windows.
A shadowy jihadi group believed to have ties to al Qaeda fought alongside rebels who seized a government missile defense base in Syria on Friday
Being aided by people [possibly] linked to al Qaeda makes you al Qaeda now? What I read from this is that they're linked by a common enemy, I won't lower myself to uttering the cliché. Do you honestly believe that US politicians gave a crap about the Koreans, the Vietnamese, and the Afghans during the cold war? Every country - mine included - has accepted the help of some pretty awful people to further their agenda.
The world has to get over this idea of al Qaeda being a group of uber-terrorists with laser beams coming out of their eyes*. They're a bunch of people who have got lucky a handful of times and the thing about suicide bombers is that the good ones can't repeat their work, and the shit ones tend to fuck up, get scared, or get caught.
If you want to live your life scared of these people, fine, do so. However, keep in mind that they don't hate you because of your freedom, it's for a range of reasons - some valid (stop fucking around in their affairs), but mostly invalid.
Exactly, because we all know how well it's worked before. Clearly the rebels are thought of as primitives and that none of them will have the expertise to work around the restrictions and use them as they so desire.
Fair enough. However, as somebody who made a real effort to try to understand what and how Christian people think (and failed miserably), I don't think it's safe to say the reason to follow Christianity has been scientifically disproved. Would you care to enlighten me.
Sure, I could google "Christianity scientifically disproved", but I'd like to see what has made you so [apparently] certain.
As an agnostic atheist, I'm really surprised by this, could you link to the evidence please.
Seriously, I'll be truly amazed if the existence of a God is ever disproved, the current evidence points the fact that it's highly unlikely that one exists, but proving that something doesn't exist is bloody difficult.

If you're running Linux on an embedded machine, odds are it won't even be able to run a 3.x kernel.

Can't believe it's still running, seeing as child trafficking is illegal.
Ah yes, Brian Sewell (who insists on calling Mary Magdalen, the woman, not the college, Mary Maudlin) is absolute proof that critics are failed artists.
I'm confused, the teacher threatened your child or the PC idiot. One outcome is good, the other not.
I always thought it was to make lawyers money (and to punish the company that did the wronging).
Care to provide a link to details on the conflict? Not that I don't believe you, it's just that it'd be interesting to see what went on,

You should. Personally, I think the man is as much an asshole as any fundamentalist religious nut,

In an ideal world this would be flamebait.
