I recently started using keypass. It has an autofill function for any site you visit. This makes it so I no longer even need to know what my passwords are. It will even produce random passwords for you. It's open source and cross platform. All my passwords are in an encrypted file in my dropbox folder for syncing across my devices, and I carry the key in a thumb drive on my key chain. I also have an keypass app on my android phone in case i need a password and am not on one of my usual devices.
Dismissing an entirely useful tool with such a remark feels very much like the fools I work with who want to keep using text editors to develop with rather than an IDE. It feels like every other case of someone scoffing at new ideas. It indicates to me a person who has decided that there are to many new things to keep up with, so they will turn there nose up at the things they have ignored. It feels like what I consider luddite behavior to be. But perhaps my daily quiet rage against these so called 'developers' I work with - people I had hoped to learn from, who for all intents and purposes refuse to learn anything new since like 1998, has left me a bit angry toward that sort of behavior in general. If so I apologize.
They could simply make the TV non-functional if it does not detect you, and/or pass some sort of live action captcha. i.e. strike the pose shown to watch TV
The martians went to Earth when their planet died.
Then a civil war broke out between the faction that wanted to continue technological advancement and the faction that wanted to start it all over.
Or perhaps, when they got here, it was like Firefly: There was not enough infrastructure and their civilization slid into ruin.
If I put some means of a dynamic shopping list in my house (standard items list and a barcode scanner, or whatever), then I should be able to have my shopping list anytime I go to the store. I could send a sms message to my house if I stopped at the store, and have the list updated before I start shopping.
Maybe you think I could do that now and simply have the list sent to my cell phone, and you are right, but with the carts I will know what I need from each aisle. This gets rid of the frustrating inner/outer loop thing of iterating through my list for each aisle.
Everyone knows that the moon is really a giant mulit-gen space ship created by an ancient extinct race (the Ancients). Come on, who really believes that its powdery coating, which conveniently absorbs impact shocks while capturing new resources for the moon people, and its life-helping effect of strengthening our planets magnetic field are just chance? Clearly it is intelligent design.

What's this? A luddite on slashdot?

What happens if someone does this and sends the SWAT team to the crack house down the street?
There is no such thing as random, only patterns too complex to model.
