  1. Re:Obligatory on eBay Japan Passwords Revealed As Username+123456 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You just gave me an idea.

    Alright everyone, LISTEN UP!

    If a user tries to use "12345" for his password, return an error message exactly as follows:
    "1,2,3,4,5? ....That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!"

    Now go and implement this on your systems, whatever they may be. I don't care if your code systems for banks, the NSA or whatever. It shall be known as "Spaceballs: The Error Message".

    I wish I had mod points because unlike CheezburgerBrown above, you made a direct quote from the movie.

    But even if they rewrite all the software, can they trust the hardware itself? Modern devices are more than a single processor, a lot of sub-components have their own microcontrollers, etc.

    Funny you don't include Microsoft in your list, because with Apple and Google gone, you know the kind of things they would try to force down on us. History has proof of that.

    Unless of course Tesla has the smart idea to make electric motorcycles and/or scooters.

    I think even the Nissan Leaf is more than 20 000$, so it might take a while for Tesla to offer something in that price range.

    That's exactly what I was saying. There's two units, it makes no sense and they even made the mistake twice. I also never understood why the currency is written before the amount, you don't say "miles 500" or "pounds 50". You also don't say "U.S. dollars 5.25" when speaking out loud either.

  15. Re:Acourding to the article, Verizon style pricing on Google Cuts Prices On Enterprise Cloud Services · · Score: 1

    Cloud Storage is now priced at US$0.026 cents per GB per month, and $0.020 cents per GB per month.

    It's "U.S. dollar 0.026 cents" and "U.S. dollar 0.020 cents", what's unclear about that? It's clearly not a typo since they wrote it that way, twice.

    It would be more sane to write the filter to detect a lot of punctuation with few regular letters.

    Sad story but that's exactly what I did. I saw Bitcoin mentioned on Slashdot, read a bit about and went "meh".

    Did they just write "Bitcoin" in the new law or something more general that can include anything? Otherwise, Bitcoin is now regulated but LiteCoin, DogeCoin and all the other coins are not.
