I keep a mnemonic around in my phone because I've got nearly 100 accounts online for various things - but I know what the password is from that and, even then, I can usually cycle through any variations to get to the one it was.
But how do you pass that info along to family members... especially ones like mine who are not tech savvy!!!
I use hints for my passwords and then keep the ID plus hint in a list on my smartphone's notes. The master list of hints to passwords is kept on my main PC at home with a printout kept in a safe in the bedroom.
I tend to have 3 "classes" of passwords, stuff for common access which I don't care if it gets hacked, stuff for midlevel access (where I do care but I wouldn't have any actual loss if I did) and banking level type stuff.
common stuff I had about 2 passwords I would regularly use, mid-level stuff had about 6 I would cycle through and the high -end security about a dozen passwords.
This actually worked pretty well up until the last year or so where my password count has exploded because various accounts now enforce different rules/lengths for naming and my work recently went to separate web based hosting and bug tracking systems each requiring their own sets of passwords (and lots of both personal and work sites have started enforcing password expiration)
What should I do with my 5000 shares of occidental petroleum? MY SUGGESTION IS TO -BUZZ- -CLICK- SELL.
Or is it going to be like:
Cortana, I want to buy 5000 shares of occidental petroleum. I'm sorry, I can't find the stock for irradiated pablum. No, I want to buy 5000 shares of OCC-I-DEN-TAL PETRO-LEUM. Ok, I have just put in an order to buy 5000 shares of dental linoleum. The shares have been purchased. Is there anything else I can help you with?
FTFA: "In the last few months, we made the HERE apps compatible with Windows 10 by using a workaround that will no longer be effective after June 30, 2016. To continue offering the HERE apps for Windows 10 would require us to redevelop the apps from the ground up, a scenario that led to the business decision to remove our apps from the Windows 10 store."
I wonder what changes on that date that forces a ground up rewrite?
>The most important distinction, however, is between restaurants with minor violations (grades A and B) and those posing considerable health risks (grade C and worse). nEme- sis uncovers 11 venues in the latter category, whereas control finds only 7, a 64% improvement.
They found 4 (count 'em FOUR) more restaurants than the control and conclude
>Given the ambiguity of online data, it may appear hope- less to identify problematic restaurants fully automatically. However, we demonstrate that nEmesis uncovers signifi- cantly more problematic restaurants than current inspection processes
FOUR more than the control is NOT significant in light of the fact that they inspected 142 venues and found only FOUR more violations than the controlled experiment AND they cite the fact that they found an illegal venue running without a permit that would've never been inspected anyway. (Which is both a pro or con depending on how you look at it - pro because it wouldn't have been found otherwise, con because that's a problem that should be discovered by any beat cop on the strip.
Lastly, the entire concept relies on social media and voluntary data collection which is incredibly flakey and prone to social attitudes of the day. I bet this system would've worked even better using foursquare (maybe even yelp) but those apps have fallen by the wayside and twitter will too. What's the critical mass that requires statistical suppositions to target a potential venue for an inspection? 5 complaints? 2? 1? At that point the process becomes subject to trolling and hacking. (Let alone generational and geographical effects about the type of tweets that get posted.)
It's a novel approach - but it's long term effectiveness is highly doubtful.

"Oh, not all students are smart enough to handle those subjects."
But they're smart enough for Computer Science? Do students really need to know how to design a new sorting algorithm? Understand what O(n) means (oops, there's that advanced math again...) Or does "computer science" mean learning them thar kids to program and make purty web pages. That's fine but that's a TRADE skill, not a SCIENCE skill just like industrial design, typesetting and auto-mechanics.
A government agency wants to use, factually, LESS secure phones in its office to make a political statement.
Is the point that government agencies should always use less secure phones so the public can access their salient details? In that case I agree but I don't think that's the point he's trying to make.
Oh wow... I never thought of using my smartphone as a.... PHONE!
Or maybe I just find it easier to use two clicks to launch the app and hit re-order my favorite - rather than try to orally communicate my order over the phone in a crowded and noisy pizza shop where the pizza-guy can't even hear me.
Hey, why should I even use a PHONE - I can just drive over to the pizza place, walk in and order it right there at the window and have it ready in 10 minutes!
You don't even need advanced technology for every freaking thing you do.
Pizza apps are a staple of any app ecosystem. Generally I use my web browser on my LAPTOP or safari on my iPhone (or the pizza app, whichever happens to be on screen sooner) The point is that Microsoft is trying to setup an ecosystem like the apple or google app stores for applets. But if they don't even have basic apps like those to order pizza after, what... 3 - 4 years of running an app store, they're seriously hurting. Because it's THOSE apps that are designed intentionally to be used on a metro/touchscreen interface they're vital to the success of the surface but they're not there.
So - as a tablet - it's an utter failure. I can't recommend it to my grandmother or tech-challenged friends and family when a droid tablet or iPad will work right out of the box. As an ultrabook with a touchscreen it does much better but then it gets compared to macbooks or ultrathin laptops
And no it wasn't bullshit but thanks for your concern. Aside from palemoon there's nothing on the surface but pure unadulterated Microsoft goodness. Sure, it's probably a bad driver (hardware seems fine otherwise) but they're all Microsoft drivers either from the stock install or the windows update and, being that it's a Microsoft built device, they can't claim it's a weird hardware configuration or some driver the vendor didn't properly test.
3 BSODs within 2 days of taking it out of the box. Tablet mode is unusable, They sell it on the strength of using existing Windows apps, like firefox but clicking on the text boxes inside firefox (or older windows apps that don't use the stock windows edit boxes) don't bring up the on-screen keyboard. Power saving modes like you find on android or iOS devices are an after thought. Microsoft still treats this thing as a PC so coming out of sleep mode is not fast.
Basically it's an overpriced but nice ultrabook.
So I reached the level of acceptance as it, still, barely, serves the purpose I bought it for.
Last night I wanted to order a pizza - something stupidly easy to do on android or my iPhone with an app - So I went to the microsoft store and searched for a papa johns app for a lark. No apps found. No apps found?! WTF?! Fine, how about Dominos. Here's one... for India. That's nice except I live in the United States.
OMG...Here I am trying to at least "live" in the Microsoft eco-system and it's like a bunch of Paklids running the joint - "We have Microsoft App Store! We are Smart!"
And now... NOW they're forcing ads onto the lock screen?!
Microsoft is dead. I've got everyone in my friends and family holding onto Windows 7 (and have disabled windows update) and while I'm forced on my surface to use Windows 10 - Well, this is where I leave you.

Today the government mandated that the Orwellian Plugin be a required built-in feature for all word processors, editing tools and key entry for public safety purposes.
The Orwellian plugins are widely used to auto-correct incorrect thinking and terminology legally defined as hate speech and promotes a safer and more welcoming and open society.
Oh yeah.. laugh now... just wait til your implant gives you diabeetus because it continuously requires more glucose to keep refreshing its IPv6 connection!
(Besides, old people need the bigger screens, I'm surprised there's not a jitterbug iPhone yet)
I wonder how bad this is on home routers. I haven't seen this problem on my iPhone or Droid but my iPad, only a year old, has recently started draining its battery pretty quickly which I think I can relate to turning on IPv6 at home...

Yeah yeah - Not like an actual zombie apocalypse is actually going to happen, but...
Governments have been running scenarios and "wargames" on "zombie apocalypse" scenarios, disaster type settings and the like. Like "Acts of God" in the old vernacular where random catastrophic events weren't covered has "zombie apocalypse" become an actual quasi-legal term to replace it?
