He's just trolling now. He must love the attention.
Dice, do yourselves a favour; Fire all of the "editors" and hire some who are competent. The current batch are borderline literate, or just don't care.
Holy shit, you let people with actual legal instruction, if not qualification give verdicts your courts? I want your legal system, because juries comprised of disinterested idiots (of which I have been a member) are just horrific.
I turn all sites into two-factor authenticated sites.
I have a KeyPass database with my website login details (usernames, email address variants etc) which I use to store a portion of the password, which is randomly generated by the KeyPass program. Passwords are made up from the contents of the password field + a passphrase I've memorised. The KeyPass database is encrypted with a unique key totally different to the passphrase.
The keypass database is useless without my passphrase, and the passphrase is useless without the database. All sites require two-factor authentication.
A set maximum length password implies they store it in plaintext, as a password hash isn't defined by the input length. MD5 of aaaa is exactly the same bit length as the MD5 hash of a 1GB Linux ISO.
It is my understanding that Valitor is a private company. Can they simply refuse to process transactions in Iceland "taking my ball and going home" style?
I slipped a piece of tin foil into the note section of my wallet. With the wallet closed, any RFID / NFC cards are unreadable. You can buy individual sleeves for specific cards, say if you have an Oyster card and one of these NFC cards, but only want the NFC card blocked, but it seemed like overkill to me.
The difference is that in Israel you're profiled because you appear to be a young Muslim and therefore require further questioning, whereas in the US you're profiled for being a blonde 36DD and therefore require a second pass with the RapeyScanner.
You're thinking of the HTC One Series (V, S, X, EVO 4G etc). This is the successor, and more capable than those.
Graphics cards makers did it a while ago; "OMG we've run out of numbers! Quick, switch them around and make lower numbers better!" So, now we have 8800 GTX GTX 670, and HTC One XL HTC One.
Furthermore, you seem to imply that all women or minorities are unqualified for the positions they are applying for.
You're the second person to state that. Maybe I should clarify: That was the opinion given in the film by DV's father, which I was paraphrasing. DV's father doesn't offer an opinion on whether an equally qualified person covered by Affirmative Action would be acceptable, and DV doesn't think to ask that question and expose the hypocrasy. IMHO that's the hidden message in the scene, and the obvious message of the film entirely; Ignorance is the home of prejudice.
Regarding your "genetic predisposition", though, how do you know it's genetic? You may have just had a more athletic upbringing, or higher protein diet as a child. I could run the 100m in 11.1s at school, but my parents (and therefore I) didn't put much stock in athletic performance and I was never trained or pushed in that direction. You played sports (football) and would have trained, giving you that physique. All off-topic, though:)
I tried not to assume anything. I'm asking if women don't attain higher in STEM fields of education because they don't see a career in STEM as a viable target, because there are few women working in STEM. Negative feedback loop anyone?
I do, however, see your point. Saying that, though, if presented with two identical candidates in all but gender / ethnicity / sexuality / $Demographic, do you propose that the hiring party flip a coin? It's certainly fair. However that's not how it's allowed to work, is it? Brass tacks here, but if you don't hire the "minority" in that situation then you're seen as a bigot, because at some time in the past that particular demographic was wronged. You're not even allowed to flip a coin. Further, there are no identical people, so ultimately this is all moot. However, arbitrarily enforcing a quota of a specific demographic is just prejudice against those not in the demographic, regardless of the reasons. It's just basic maths; If 10% of your workforce *must* be $Stereotype, then you're biased towards that group at every opportunity because you're forced to "consider the quota", and in and of itself that will skew a hiring person's opinion of a candidate even before looking at a resume or inviting for interview.
Like I said, this is a topic for people who study society and people. All I have are opinions based upon a very basic understanding of the topics we're discussed.
I get the impression that part of the "pump him full of X" you see in (war) movies is to get the casualty to shut the hell up so the enemy don't keep shooting at you.
American History X, the flashback scene around the dinner table when a young Derek Vinyard is talking to his dad about the Affirmative Action policy at the firestation. If you take out the racial slurs, you can't help but see the guy's point. Would you want someone of lower capability than an other applicant working on your team just because some bureaucrat thinks a quota of $gender/race is the correct way to bring diversity to the workplace? It is even the correct kind of diversity? Diversity of experience, opinion, skillset, or interest is surely something better to strive towards.
On the other hand, we have the Catch 22 of women not working in $Career, so girls don't take an interest in $Career at an early age, meaning women don't apply for jobs in $Career. Is it the fault of society for not making careers in, say, engineering more glamorous? Should we push hard for intellect being more attractive than physical appearance? Should we stop seeing a chosen occupation as inherently masculine or feminine? Is it upbringing or genetic predisposition?
Hahaha, it's so funny watching this from the outside!
"14 year olds in mom's basement": OMG CISPA! We must black out the internet like we did with PIPA! Obama: Don't worry Internet Friends, I will protect you from the evil corporations! CISPA opponents: Oh cool, The President is with us! We can all chill out a little. Obama: Suckers. Get me Donald Trump on the phone; I want to know how I can get me a cushy earner after I'm out at the end of my term.
Have you used the Kindle Touch, or similar? I own one; The lack of buttons is not a hindrance at all. I can easily and comfortably slide / rock my thumb from the right bevel onto the screen and move to the next page. Even better, though, is if I want to move back a page, forward a chapter etc, all I need do is move the Kindle to my face and use my nose. It sounds stupid, but it means I can absolutely use it as an eReader one handed. You just can't do that with buttons.
I do the same thing with Calibre. As soon as I heard of that instance of Amazon removing 1984 from Kindles, and closing that blogger's Amazon account for it being tenuously linked to an account which was banned (ending her Kindle access), I started stripping the DRM from every eBook I bought and keeping the DRM-free version on my PC. So, now I have a Kindle full of DRM locked eBooks, and a DRM-free ePub archive on my PC. If Amazon ever close my account, or I decide I want to move away, i'm only ever a jailbreak away.
I like the banner. It lets me know that my browser is successfully clearing cookies at the end of the session. It's the same situation with Ghostery; If I see blocked trackers, I think "Awesome. Working as intended!" If the little icon has no number next to it, though, I start thinking that something isn't working right.
I would argue that anyone logging in to their corporate site from China without using a VPN with a self-signed certificate is doing it wrong. Hell, I'm going on holiday to Australia later in the year and I'm setting up a VPN to my home network so I can use email etc without worrying about my credentials being lifted by any local agency. I know it's a little much for most home users, but for anyone with even an inkling of tech knowhow or a corporate user it should be mandatory.
Troy's had several inventions regarding armours and protection. His 1313 laminated plating resisted consecutive sniper rifle rounds to the same location (not possible with current armours), though I don't know of any public demonstration footage of this, as well as explosive charges larger than typical RPGs. His Firepaste, though, has protected his own face from a torch supposedly hotter than re-entry temperatures, footage of which is on YouTube.
He also constructed a supposedly 97% coverage body armour ("Trojan") with lots of little gizmos included, and allowed almost totally unrestricted movement. No idea if it actually worked or was demonstrated.
Just search Google for his name; The articles are numerous.

Trust no site with a maximum password length.
Redundant. We already knew.

It's an homage; CCP, the creators of Eve, is an Icelandic company.

You do realise that this is already a Crossfire card? It has two GPUs, so that's 187.5w per GPU + 3GB memory.
You're thinking of the HTC One Series (V, S, X, EVO 4G etc). This is the successor, and more capable than those.

Quite so! I was poking fun at Americans by being ignorant.~
