If this is such an obvious exploit, how is it no one walked thru this open hole in the fence the last few years?
I guess nobody gave a fuck. And I never said it was an obvious exploit, the point was damage comparison. he's annoying people, not doing anything dealing long-lasting damage.
Improper analogy. Let me rework it. "I walked through this overlooked hole in the fence and tapped you on the shoulder while you were sun tanning in your backyard, telling you to fix it".
Um, no. The e-mail address can be parked, in other words marked as inactive. All e-mails sent to it would bounce as if it doesn't exist, and all attempts to create an identical one would fail as if it does exist.
I must be one of the few who always carry headphones with them. I stream digital radio while commuting, that's every workday. During weekend the headphones stay in my pocket. Pragmatically speaking, I would be better prepared than you in case of a zombie outbreak:)
You misunderstood shit. The enabled FM chip could be insanely useful in case of a major catastrophe. You would be able to listen to information and instructions on the only device you're carrying with you at all times. It's not about you using it more often, it's about it being there hen you need it most.
Exactly that. I'm one of the very many who have a great idea, have nurtured it over years and ironed out most details, but don't have the cash to implement it. If I were paid that much and managed to gather enough to get started on my idea, I would have quit as well.
No, they are not. Macros are widely used (no matter how much some hate them) and they are the very high in the top 10 reasons the F/OSS alternatives won't work. Formulas (not the simple type such as =SUM()) are another. While most formulas would carry across well, the odd ones which don't risk breaking stuff and making companies lose money (because they don't error out gracefully but yield bad results instead). I've seen CEILING being replaced by the equivalent of MROUND automatically while a spreadsheet was converted from Excel to Libre Office, which is BAD.
"The Average Secretary" is not your issue here. Using it as the standard is low, in more ways than one. I agree the average secretary would make do with anything. Her contacts, boss, clients and colleagues would most likely not agree.
What does one have top do with the other? Newspapers are dying because they are SLOW information bearers. By the time it lands in your courtyard, most stuff in it is already watched and obsolete. Some paper zines would last for a lot longer, though. There is one in my city which would translate as "the phone ad". If you want to sell something (be it a service, an item, etc) you call a number and dictate your ad, then hang up. It's around 2 bucks or so and it gets printed in the next edition. It goes out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and costs roughly a quarter.
Blogs are totally different animals, they have no resemblance to newspapers.
Thank you very much for the clarification. I am a Business Intelligence Analyst and to my shame I had never heard of this solution, or maybe I had but it was so riddled with buzzwords and corporate bullshit that it became unintelligible to plebs like me.
Yes, I can see quite a few use cases for it. If they only used your words to describe it:)
Horrible analogy. In case of a bank, you know it's not yours because you shouldn't have received them anyway. In case of this game, you already bought it so you own it.

And your 'tap on the shoulder' analogy is pretty flawed too. That's assault and likely to result in a physical response.
Not in my country, dear. We're not that fragile around here, to consider a tap on the shoulder as "assault". I mean, seriously, how fucked up IS that?
Bottom line: this guy is being a dick.
I'm not saying he isn't. I'm just saying is not really that big of a deal.

I fail to understand the logic behind this...

Some is in TFS and TFA...
But these are the majority of users.
No, they are not.

The amount of corporate bullshit in TFS makes my head hurt and spin... at the same time.
if there were, it should have been called "Shapely Attractor".
Relative, as in "non-absolute" :)
He used that:

Let's fuck the world juuust a lil' bit deeper.
Those are monologues.
I'd add one more thing: Although not an expert myself, I don't think it likely for people to feel natural talking to an object.
Read THE book!
FTFY.
Unless he drove dozens before, and management still didn't care, because he's someone's protege.
The above was probably meant to be funny, but I REALLY thought that for a second too.
I guess those fit under "AND MORE".
Horrible analogy.
