Presumably, your root password is essentially immune to brute force attacks (so it wins the comparison you are making), but how many unsuccessful attempts do you think your bank would allow before taking some sort of action?
And if you think that number is in the thousands, have you considered switching to a different bank?
You would open your password database on an untrusted terminal?
My paranoia has reached the point where I won't type mildly sensitive passwords into other people's computers anymore, let alone some computer at an internet cafe.
I guess the stuff that is made in China is cheaper to make over there and ship here. "Why is everything made in China?" isn't really an answerable question, as it is based on a false premise.
We have lots of manufacturing capacity in the U.S., but instead of 4 guys manually operating 4 lathes to turn out 4 parts in an hour, we now have one guy operating 4 CNC lathes turning out 8 parts in an hour.
You have an odd view of money. Surely the citizens of the United States can scrape up enough steel and expertise in order to drill a well somewhere in the Dakotas.
The expertise will probably be the hard part, but then, there are lots of American drillers, many of them using advanced techniques.
It seems like there might be better ways to address a professor and his students not speaking the same language (better than text-as-slides). It really does. One of them might be enforcing language requirements (if there are 3 ESL students in a class, it is not OK to fuck over the other 25 people in the class to accommodate them).
The problem with that is that people who like the AwesomeBar don't care about the functionality you describe, for them (me!), having the AwesomeBar functionality built into the url bar is great.
I'm not going to defend removing the old behavior altogether, but I'm pretty sure that it was a good idea to build the AwesomeBar functionality into the url bar.
It is possible that Verizon has a better network installed, or the guy in charge of their infrastructure planning might be someone who wipes the drool off his chin.
Much of the point of such talk is that you can't prove it. If I figure out a way to crash the Earth into the Sun, it really isn't going to matter how big of a fence you built, you are going to end up a crispy marshmallow.
Credit card companies push the consequences of fraud onto stores and such. Those stores that choose to accept credit card payments factor the risk of fraud into the prices they charge. The credit card companies do attempt to protect their customers from fraud, but only because they wouldn't make any money if they didn't have any members (they also work with stores to prevent fraud, as they figure it will lead to clearing more transactions).
The credit card companies certainly don't pay for fraud though.
You were complaining about the adult involved being responsible if the act were observed. There isn't an adult involved if it is a pair of 15 year-olds.

That doesn't explain it...
(replace 'letters' with 'consonants' and 6 makes sense though)

A similarly entertaining thing is that out-there conspiracy theorists generally consider each other more credible than entities like governments.

Everyone who thinks Microsoft is run bad should take a look at their margins.
The thing is, it isn't a free gift, it is an incentive to get you to sign a contract.

Irfanview is love it or hate it though. I hate it.
(I use XNView for most of the tasks I would use Irfanview for)

I blame all the people who say "oooh-I just hate you" as they hand the phone companies their money.
I would have gone with "Space Cowboys". They sort of make a big deal of the idea that it would be rather hard for a human to successfully do it.

You sig would be funnier if it read "...When many people enjoy a delusion...".
Well, be sure to post an update when the law you are complaining about starts to ruin your life.

At worst it is irritatingly contradictory, not scary, as there is a clear path towards avoiding any question of having broken the law.
Was the double entendre on purpose?
You politely explain that they can (I am supposing that you are referring to html5 video here).
