"as long as you are not using that password elsewhere "
Password reuse like this should be absolutely forbidden. It's ridiculously insecure.
Password change policies depend on the service being protected. Very few benefit from changing. E.g., shared passwords such as safe combinations, door passcodes. Encryption keys such as those used for offline backup sets (nobody who worked there 10 years ago should know the current passwords).
When you don't trust the service provider, data breaches, such as somebody recovering a backup set from a recycling operation in Somalia, could mean that passwords depending on lockouts, timeouts, etc. can be subject to offline cracking attacks. Aging algorithms and changing standards can impact this. e.g, your AOL account password might be sitting around on some backup tape encrypted with DES.
But if you don't trust the service provider to protect their backup sets or have good employee policies, then what exactly are you trying to protect with that password?
For me it's the 20 minutes of commercials, the lack of ushers to kick people out who won't STFU, the insane concession prices, the garrish, loud lobbies, and the high ticket prices.
$50 for a couple to go to a movie? It's the price of a streaming box from China.
For older films, availability is a major issue. It's hard to find anyone who will take your money... but when you do, the prices can be insane. Competitive with 'owning' a DVD which you can loan or trade with your friends, rather than the disposable watch-one-time thing. *if* you can find the content at all, normally it's just not possible.
But I don't want to over-emphasize the price. 20 minutes of commercials on top of showing up early to get a good seat... I'm more sensitive than most to stupid commercials and they make me sick of looking at the screen before the movie even starts.
"The DNC members are contractually obliged to be neutral with regards to Democratic candidates. They were not."
That's an agreement between the DNC members and the DNC leadership. It would be up to the leadership to raise the issue was to whether or not they think there is a breach of contract. Fraud would be, e.g., if people gave money to the institution with the expectation of receiving something in return, but they never received it.
E.g., if there were a DNC "University" and they were selling courses on... real-estate and investing, and it turned out that despite objections and violation of state law, they continued to use the title and offer no such credit in return, that would be fraud. In such cases, the founder of the institution may be found personally liable.
No no, for it to be fraud, you need to have lied in performance of a contract. Like when a billionaire tycoon lies about the zoning of a building subjecting his buyers to unexpected taxes, exceptionally high mortgage rates, and half the expected resale value. That's fraud.
"The shelter workers know" - sounds like a recipe for arbitrary evictions.
Drug tests are for benefits. It takes more than a few days to get benefits, and more than a few days go get results. The shelter workers know if you're smoking crack in your bed. If you fail your drug tests, you don't get to stay in a shelter. You go to rehab or you get nothing.
I think $200/head is better spent creating a society where we don't need security guards 24x7.
I'm about as left as they get and I think this proposal is so stupid that the congresswoman should be ejected from office.
And her comment on the unfairness of the lower capital gains tax is... profoundly ignorant.
Drug testing the destitute? Not poor, destitute. Those who cannot support themselves and require a handout from society. Those who's net contribution to the economy is negative... I support drug testing.... although, you cannot cut benefits unless you want to live in a society where truly desperate people roam the streets stealing food.
There are many reasons you drug test. Do your really want some hooker doped up on coke sheltering next to the pregnant girl with downs? It's not fair to the poor to tolerate this behaviour in the shelters. Wouldn't it be nice if shelters were full of positive people who didn't shit on the sidewalk, litter needles in the yard and smash cars in the neigbourhood for their next hit?
You want benefits? You want to be in a shelter? take a drug test, if you fail, accept treatment. If you don't test and don't take treatment, society has a duty to protect the most vulnerable *from* you. I don't have a solution for these suicidal trainwrecks, but sheltering them next to good people and ignoring their drug abuse is not the answer.
Guns were an important part of the founding of the country?
Oh you're suggesting that the population of the time was prescient, and anticipated a future we've not yet experienced, where Washington uses force in such a creative and impotent way that the population can only defend itself with firearms.
The site is difficult to navigate and difficult to extract the meat of the accusations.
There are 8 stories (+2 empty ones). 1 first person rape account, 1 second person rape account and professional bullying and harassment. 1 first person sexual molestation. The rest are harassment, bullying, intimidation and aggressive, inappropriate sexual propositioning (e.g, asserting himself in professional situations, ignoring personal boundaries and aggressively sexually propositioning in front of a victim's business clients)
"political agenda", yes... although the motivation for it seems to be victimization, and the stories are almost all very public so they should be easy to corroborate.
The design of the site doesn't do anyone a service.
I did it once on a rental car after driving for 12 hours... We were on loose gravel and only created a shower of dust. I caught the mistake instantly, but it was enough for my passenger to take over driving. If it were clean asphalt and I were in a sportscar, it would have been a wreck.
FTA: "She knows the difference between brake and accelerator pedal. " - it's amazing how people attribute it to knowledge and discredit "not knowing" as a question of intelligence. The car was 5 days old, it takes more time than that to become intimately familiar with the car.
The reflex reaction to the car lurching forward when you hit the brake is.... hit the brake harder...
And it's ridiculous that the article is interviewing her husband.
It will give you a remote session. Provided:
- You open a hole in your firewall
- You have a dynamic DNS service
- You don't mind sending username/password, and your entire session in the clear
- You don't mind the performance
These issues are amplified if you're helping somebody over the phone.
As far as I know, there are no free (libre) alternatives to Teamviewer.
"Where is the internet? You can't answer that because it's a reference to optional behavior on the part of network operators who want to get involved in peering with other networks - it's not a thing, and it's certainly not a place. It's a concept, sort of like "driving on the right" or "league bowling." "
Open up an ISP where google.com is your houseplant and you'll get an earful from people who can tell you very specifically where the Internet isn't.
No, they govern common infrastructure in a single place known as the Internet. Specifically the DNS system and the numbers. They exist specifically to ensure uniqueness in this single entity.
That's why when people refer to "google.com" they're not referring to your local DNS servers' record for your houseplant. It's because there is a capital-I Internet.
IETF handles standards. I left them off the list because their reason to exist isn't exclusively to the Internet, but they also handle standards which are also applied to the google.com houseplant. ARIN and ICANN only exist because of a capital-I Internet.

It's down to 85% now... and falling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Desktop_and_laptop_computers
Only 95% in gaming. 85% general desktop/laptop. 50% in development. 44% web clients.. 32% in servers...1% of tablets.. 0% of supercomputers
I think this will go into non-linear marketshare loss very soon.

"politically motivated pseudoscientists"
What's your local university, the Exxon information center?
No no, for it to be fraud, you need to have lied in performance of a contract. Like when a billionaire tycoon lies about the zoning of a building subjecting his buyers to unexpected taxes, exceptionally high mortgage rates, and half the expected resale value. That's fraud.
D'oh.
Raspberry Tau?
1/2 pi, but just as useful.
"sexual harassment in the workplace"... "female victims of her husband"
You make it sound like Clinton was a serial rapist or something.
It was consensual and completely legal. There was never any debate over that.
Clinton lied about it under oath. That was the problem.
You also have to throw out the people who don't leave their mother's basement.
I mean, the kind who do so because they don't know how. Not the kind around here.
This new login thing is a fad.

You can get some Chinese corner store to replace the screen for you for $30.
I picked up one of these for an iPad mini...
It's normal tempered glass, the digitizer has trouble with multitouch, etc, etc. It works, but the quality is of a cheap Chinese device.
People throw out their Apple products because they damage them beyond economic repair or they've served for 5years+ (but still have a resale value)
Can you say the same for the rest of the industry?
The vagueness in the accusations of "sexual misconduct" and intimidation is awful. I had to read the stories to figure out what the accusations are.
http://jacobappelbaum.net/ is very weird.

These have been around for years for Thunderbolt. Search on "Thunderbolt 2 PCIe Expansion Chassis"... You'll find product announcements from 2010.

There are governing authorities of specific standards and technologies to ensure that there is ONE Internet and that everyone on it can communicate.
Or should ICANN and IANA change their names? What do they govern now?
It's all FUD.
