I just fill in completely random strings of characters and either store them in a password manager, or just not bother at all. The idea being that if I forget the password for your website it couldn't have been that important to me in the first place. I used to try giving "smart" answers to the questions that couldn't be guessed. But it turns out that 10 years later, I can't remember what I answered to "what is your drivers license number?" So I just skip that entirely.
Several rules I absolutely hate for passwords: * Maximum number of characters (bonus points if it's 8 or less). * Require a special symbol, but only !@#$%^&* are allowed. * Can't reuse your last 5 (or some other number > 1) passwords. * Maximum number of characters plus requiring a number, a lower case, an upper case, and a symbol. * Last but not least: Websites with maximum number of characters for password that silently discard whatever characters go over the length. And yes, I did encounter this one. At least the limit was 30 characters, so I guess it could have been worse.
No they aren't. There are many domains where you can work as a programmer without ever encountering a binary tree or an abstract class. And who just memorizes all these random algorithms just to recite them at a moments notice? If I have to implement a binary tree for whatever reason I will read up on it. Maybe instead they should have a test to implement the rs-232 protocol or maybe small micro controller simulator. Or whatever particular topic some person thinks is absolutely a must know for you to be considered an engineer.
Pretty much. I'm sure that this new concepts thing is an improvement over whatever they have; but when I compare it to the equivalent in Haskell I almost want to cry. The way they do it in Haskell seems so much cleaner and less of an after thought. Any type simply declares that it implements Ord, or Show, or whatever you need, and then functions can declare that they require a type to implement that. Of course Haskell has it's own problems with error messages not being entirely useful and code being slow as shit if you don't know exactly how to optimize.
I only use wax cylinders for my music listening needs. I guess all those people who were 12 when cassettes were in are having their midlife crisis now?
You should take a look at that link yourself. Nothing he said sounds remotely like holocaust denial. The only reason he tiptoes around is because it's gotten to the point where if you don't instantly denounce anyone for asking questions about a historical event you are literally hitler.
And I would say that banning that would be a stupid idea too. Ordering people to believe something doesn't actually make them believe it. It only makes people suspicious and makes them hide their true beliefs.
I don't have any of those things. I have a computer with no disk drive. 99.99% of the time you don't need one. It's not worth it to me to get a disk drive that will then not work because it hasn't been used in years. Media gets on my PC and tv via internet, or USB. If they want me to watch their stuff, they have to make it available in a format I can use. I'm not going out of my way to accommodate them.
I'll believe it when they write an article citing specific "fake news" with proof that it was written by russians and helped sway the election. Until then I'm calling BS. You can call anything "fake news", and you can claim that everything online was written by the russians.

Pretty sure he is not liable. Just like movies are not liable for people killing people, or rockstar is not liable for people killing hookers.
It's your own fault of course, but I wouldn't call that person a friend either.

Ha. I've never tried opening that in a new tab.
Maybe it's an option somewhere, but I can only hit Preview, Quote Parent, Options and Cancel.
So I would say that yes, you have to click preview.
My house has never flooded. Guess we don't need all these levees everywhere.
Better just tear them down amirite?

It's the thing you use to develop all the software running on that android phone.
Also a bit optimistic about battery life.
More likely the NSA can use this to store everything you say forever.

Yeah, all those mass shootings causing people to die from heart disease.
That's true and I have no problems with that.
There is more than enough other content for me to spend my time on.

In the past month temperatures have plummeted by about 20 degrees.
At this rate we will soon reach absolute zero.
There is a third option.
Move to a third world country where the government doesn't have the resources to waste on this kind of shit.
And already Trump is doing more than Obama.
Does everyone who visits 4chan get arrested because they make fun of those jihadi execution videos?
> BTW, I recently saw a news item that Trump was a paid agent of the KGB during the 1980's.
Good one. lol

Funny, I though Glenn Beck was against Trump.
I think it's more to do with fearing they will lose their jobs and be attacked on social media if they come out as pro Trump.
