    depends of the context (420 was more obvious than 69, to me...)

  6. Re:Weird on How Common Is Your PIN? (datagenetics.com) · · Score: 1

    I did something like that to get a random PIN, and the bank system rejected it because I had repeated the same digit twice in a row.

    stupid password rules... There's tons if it everywhere!

  7. Re:At least my pin 8068 is safe on How Common Is Your PIN? (datagenetics.com) · · Score: 1

    I've never seen anyone needing a cheat-sheet to enter their PIN around here. So, it appears that the French population at large is able to remember a 4-digit number. I'm sorry to hear that the average American is unable to do that.

    Providing PINs (which is a 4-digit number) look a very welcome idea to me! * it's something like already occurs here in Brazil, with SIM PINs and bank ATM machines ^^

    NET was not "the market first", but the market-only in the case (and, I think, it only made the investments [several years ago] thinking this situation will persist up to now [but it changed, by government intervention [some years ago]: it causes the near-bankrupt of the company...])

    with internet access: it generated a plan form a major cable company here (now with 2mbps speed, from 512Kbps on beginning [in 2009, I think...]) for R$ 39,90 (equivalent to ~US$10 now...)

    something like it happened here, in Brazil: NET, a private company (owned by the largest TV Broadcaster here), made large investments in cable distributing lines (and nearly bankrupted) - this kind of thing can only be done by near-monopolies (because near-all the return of the investment will be captured from this only company...), which was the case here (and, as a private thing, the cable distribution don't cover small and non profitable markets [which is also the main goal in public investments]) The "invisible hand" don't helps, always :/

    Opera is nice for offline reading

    I recommend Opera Mini over "normal Opera": it has a much minor size and memory footprint (by been very light, it works very well on old phones and tablets)
