why not just give them a checkbox that says Password Optional
There are some pretty bad places - it appears to work in the U.S. But what about Canada?
I'm sure there's some Canadians out there -
How about anywhere in Southern Alberta (south of Calgary)?
6. Your passwords and account security
6.1 You agree and understand that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with any account you use to access the Services.
6.2 Accordingly, you agree that you will be solely responsible to Google for all activities that occur under your account.
5.6 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under the Terms and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which Google may suffer) of any such breach.
Facebook's terms of service are just as strict.
4.6 You will not share your password, let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
I for one would not give that information and would suspect that the City is in violation of some law or other and that my providing usernames and passwords to these accounts would constitute my violation of terms of service and would get me in lots more trouble.
Anyone ever think there might be a good idea that this little microbe was buried beneath the ice at an abnormal depth and frozen to almost complete immobility for so long? Seriously why wake an unknown microbe before we even have anything that can protect us from its potential spread. I'm going to go lock myself in 2 ziplock freezer bags and wait for the destruction.

In my organization, the number of priority 1 incidences have dropped by 95% since implementing ITIL. That is mostly because there is so much paperwork and hassle involved in opening a priority 1 incident that nobody opens them anymore. ITIL works.
This would not be ITIL then -- All incidents should be handled and categorized accordingly. If there is a priority 1 incident it should be a priority 1 incident not a lower priority incident with a call to your buddy in the server room to fix a glitch. You shouldn't have to be scared of making a priority incident just because the paperwork is overwhelming --

Afterwards atendees will be ushered to the dining hall for a fine serving of raisins, prune juice, and Oxygen treatments.
St. John's ambulance will also be on site to assist with attendees suffering with various age related ailments such as broken hips and arthritis.
Alot of the limitations I've had with loading times and playability have been overcome with a softmod -- easily acheived through various means. I've added a 640Gig USB2.0 HDD to my WII which allows me to keep a backup of my regular stock of games - since doing this my loading times have decreased significantly. So wouldn't the WII benefit greatly from supporting additional hardware or upgrading the ability of their current stock?

Look at that fourth screenshot. What possible harm could loading a project do, I wonder? Does it already (partially?) execute even when it is just sitting there in the development environment? Is this an attempt to banish evil compilers from accidentally compiling source?
And why is the answer always "make the user choose" even though there is absolutely no way to make an informed choice (same problem as with UAC or sudo: I don't want to hand over the keys to the kingdom, I only want to give out narrow and specific permissions, based on useful information, rather than some nebulous feeling of 'trust')?
Could it be some sort of pre-compile - that way your project looks like it compiles fast when in reality its being compiled at code time?
FWIW
This is simply assuming that all dinosaurs had their hearts in the right places ---
Doesn't anyone recall the Star Trek Movie where Kirk kicks the alien in the shin and it doubles over in pain cus he just happened to kick him in the nads?
As much as we know about dinosaurs it's quite possible that their hearts may have been elsewhere in their anatomy more better suited to pumping blood to places that needed it. But for the lack of an existing capillary diagram for a dino I might as well as just be speaking out my hat.
this isn't even the original article --- The original has since been redacted and replaced with this one. The actual owners of the dark fibre are none other than Google -- I have heard from some reliable source that the dark fibre is being used to connect DC to the google lab on the moon.
BAH! WTF - this is too true - next thing you know its going to be the llamas have been put in charge and those responsible for the sacking of the sackers of the judges who have just been sacked have been sacked. I don't think llamas can be members of any copyright extremist groups.
The Talon is unarmed, but can be disturbingly temperamental. Singer gives a worrying example of one sergeant just back from Iraq who described how his Talon robot acted 'erratically'.
Another told how his robot would 'drive off the road, come back at you, spin around, stuff like that'.
I spoke to one soldier in the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry division, stationed at Forward Operating base Kalsu, 20 miles south of Baghdad, who works with Talons.
I once spoke to a guy who knew guy who said that a friend he worked with played with one of these things and they were great.

The atmosphere is slowing it down. Shoot that same gin from a mile up and it will slow to terminal velocity.
What do Gin and terminal velocity have to do with space rocks?
So now what? random genetic mutations? Green Skin? Red Laser Shooting Eyes?
Or maybe something cool like a sex hungry space alien ala Species?

He also notes that the beta still lacks support for ASP.Net MVC, smart devices, and the .Net Micro Framework.
So what does it do then, exactly??
This is fine because I burn my cd's with curry powder and paprika.
This device has some seriously personality issues -- either that or everyone wants to be like the Woz.
