    Well then you're going to absolutely love the next story. It's about 3D-printed graphene quadcopters...

    And your method won't work if somebody "fixes" the question because of a typo/change of phrasing/to make it clearer/whatever reason.

    At my company the security precautions have become a parody. 32 char mixed case, letters numbers, expiring every 4 hours. You have to get a new one every 4 fucking hours.

    What's your estimate on the time lost by all employees for dealing with such precautions? Try to document that, with proof, and get a meeting with your boss(es). After they see the money wasted on being over-precautious, IT will probably calm down a bit. Even a new password every month would annoy the hell out of me.

  8. He says the way we build cars is more important from an environmental standpoint than how we fuel them.

    Oh, okay. So let's fix the way we build cars but at the same time let's go backwards on how we fuel them.

    Why can't it be both? Because his company probably can't make electric cars.

    Google's phases are usually as follows:

    In Canada we still get Android devices with old versions of Android, so people still get brand-new devices with that old piece of crap "Android browser".

    The "Android browser" browser is not Chrome.

    The default Android browser is such a piece of crap that I don't even waste time testing it anymore. If you're stuck with Android, install Chrome and stop complaining.

    Which is why 99.99% of online giveaways, even if they are based in Canada, exclude Québec.

    Tell me about it. I don't even check the requirements for any giveaways anymore, because they always end with "Except in the province of Québec".

    Fuck you, Loto-Québec.
