CAPTCHAs are stupid simple. When I was trying to prevent data sniffing on a site where a unique key had to be entered to view data (and/or QR code scan), I did a growing time delay on repeated attempts combined with a CAPTCHA on the third and subsequent tries. After 15 tries, you get false negative results (real keys still come out as failures/404). It resets after 20 minutes once you stop trying bad data.
That pretty much guarantees 'a' will be '@' and 'i' will be '!'.
That doesn't work, because lots of sites check for substitutions when looking for dictionary words. My punctuation and numbers tend to go only at the beginning and end, just because it's easier to remember. But that's even easier to crack.
it results in people rotating between the same 3 or 4 passwords for everything
And when I was required to change my password every 60 days, only one character changed (rotating across the keyboard's home row) so it was not much more entropy. Still, it beats writing it on a post-it.
That must be how they work. There's one site I use where I paste generated passwords in when creating new accounts. Sometimes a really strong password shows up as really weak. If I remove it and paste it again, sometimes it's strong. Sometimes I have to paste it into the "Repeat password" box first to clear out the "weak" designation.
Yes, you want to use a development version of Linux for development. That's sort of self-explanatory. You might call it "user feedback" but with a user-hostile response like that, they expect you to be an active participant in the development process.
In case they didn't spell it out plainly enough, lots of games are developed using a scripting language for the level data themselves. Going back as far as the old Sierra adventure games. I'm not sure if code that runs through an interpreter counts as a violation, though they could easily write an "interpreter" that passes just about anything as a live command if they set it up that way from the start.
You're not even pedanting right. "m" is meter. If, ignoring all English-language precedent and convention you're going to assume it's a unit of measure, then it's 400 meters of consumers.
Product-neutral does not mean it doesn't mix in. I think they are (not directly) saying taste-neutral. I'm fairly certain they were trying hard to downplay it, but why else would they make it edible?
"The cool thing about it is that because the coating is a composite of solid and liquid, it can be tailored to the product. So for food, we make the coating out of food-based materials and so you can actually eat it."
Why are you asking me? Ask Dell. You would still have the option to install your own. XP was essentially an LTS release. As are all of Microsoft's OS releases.
It's a problem with the Linux repo design that program versions are tied to repos by OS version.
I agree (mostly). However, they did count on it for dithering colors with the bleed and smoothing jagged lines.
I certainly prefer SNES graphics with nearest-neighbor scaling to hq2x and the like. There are too many errors in the added details and it's way more of a distraction than jaggies. It's worse than the 120Hz motion interpolation that was a big deal in last generation's TVs. I don't want all the downside of CRT - fuzzy edges, distortion, scanlines, etc. Back when I had a TV like that, I wanted better. Why would I want worse now?
VBR within a frame is relatively new or not talked about much if it isn't. This is talking about which macroblocks to give more bandwidth to based on their content and relative importance within the frame.
Not for all that I'm looking for. LFE's should hit more than just your ears. And nobody's putting rear speakers or decent virtual/simulated surround processing (and at best they get Pro Logic II over stereo anyway. Headphones aren't accepting fully encoded 5.1.
Besides, I've noticed even with decent large speakers that dialogue is muddy when there's no dedicated center speaker. And that's more to do with it being a separate speaker (and audio channel) than anything to do with my ears.
You don't really have a choice about getting them, either, as almost every channel over the cable line is encrypted now.
You can buy one outright if they still support CableCARD - but they likely charge almost as much for the card as they do for the whole tuner/DVDR. SDV doesn't work with CableCARD, which seems to be more about blocking CableCARD than freeing up unused channels for Internet.
In practice, they also tried to kill their Google Voice app, when they rolled the functionality into Hangouts...and now they have a new Google Voice web site and app.
I'm sticking with Hangouts until I have to switch.
Isn't it always one update? Or does that not apply to Windows 10?
That one update may take 30 minutes to install on a Core i7 with an SSD, but it's still only one update. And twice a year, the "one" monthly update is a completely new OS image.

Next time they can recommend decreasing password security to improve overall security. Less handwritten passwords all-around.
Mixed upper and lower case
Includes Numbers
Only one month of the year includes a dictionary word
But only 7 characters....REJECTED

Pick a strength at random.

You can still repair anything you want, and you can pay anyone you want to repair your device
DMCA - no exception even for personal use. If they use any form of soft protection, encryption, or obfuscation, it's protected from your hands by law.
you just can't expect the company to warranty your device afterwards.
On the other hand, Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

You keep posting and yet you seem to know nothing about LTS OS releases:

They continued to get security updates during that long term without a major version change.

You can install a newer LTS OS later. And if there are drivers now, there is a good chance of drivers then.

20Mbps MPEG-2 still looks better than 5Mbps H.264.
And ATSC content is free.
A phone 6 inches from your face is bigger than a 50" screen 6 feet from your face.
Picture quality is actually better on the phone, in most cases (smaller screens are cheaper buy nicer).
Sound is crap on the phone. I have a 5.1 surround system and I watch all my TV on a TV.
Lots of options with XMPP. If someone in the industry can tie two pieces of string together, they'll make some money on it.
It's available as a Chrome desktop app. Works pretty well as long as you use Chrome.
