"Avoid hitting all cars" is just plain bad directive. For example, I, a human driver, don't care too much about hitting other cars as long as it is not my fault. Of course, I try not to hit stupid assholes not using their turn signals and all, but I don't try too hard either.
Ok, call me stupid, but what are the alternatives to sending the password as text in an email?
First, the password should not be stored on their servers as plain text in the first place. Salted hashed should.
Also, what would be the best method?
The company I work for isn't very tech literate and could probably use some pointers.
Back when I was developing something like this, the "best by consensus" thing was to send some kind of one time password. We generated these passwords like encrypt_with_company_current_private_key(USER_ID + TIMESTAMP + GIBBERISH). USER_ID allows you to identify the user, timestamp allows you to limit how long this thing can be used and GIBBERISH is just to add some noise (not sure it is helpful though, I'm not a cryptography expert).
Somehow I fail to see how my losing ~$15,000 funding Goldman Sachs and Solyndra with free cash is benefiicial for me, but millions of other people think it is. That's a True dystopia. Rob from the poor/middle incomes and give to the rich.
Well, it's obvious: the rich will be able to invent new plastic toy! Poor won't be able to buy it, but who cares, it's progress!
This is probably true for retired seniors. These people were fucked pretty badly.
For working class though... Dunno, my mom is an elementary school teacher, my dad was a coal miner. I'd say living in SU in 80ies sucked, way more than it sucks for them now (not exactly a great measure of improvement, but whatever we have...).
They probably would have more problems balancing the budget now, but the standards of living are way higher.
Like, they can easily afford living the way they did in nineties, even without my help, but its just not what they are after now.
Well, there are a lot of honesty out there, if you care to look for it. Read the specs, reviews, blogs etc. and don't forget to turn on your bullshit filter in the process.
This probably won't work for *all* movies, but GP is talking about some obscure movies that are *loss*. Like, making money by trying to sell them is pointless, why not release it to the public for free? Some people may still like it and some may even donate money.
May be they are not doing it because with some movies "sue the customer" is the best strategy.
... I've use teams of 3-4 people, usually one rockstar and 3 who are happy to play second fiddle and follow his lead.
I think you are confusing different concepts here. People who are leaders/can lead are not necessarily "rock star" developers. They just talk louder and more arrogant than everybody else. People who follow are not necessarily worse developers, they just don't like conflicts.

I never get upset at your wife.

What is "WKRP"?
Why is this moderated "Troll"? Poor or not, lets not pretend that more than 10% of those 4.5 billion give any iFucks.

Yeah, reminded me of the Brave New World too, but you see, bees *can* change their genes. Well, except for the queen, but there is only one.
Well, it's not just Microsoft nowadays. After XHTML fiasco nobody takes W3C seriously any more.
There are researches on that. This is the simplest one I can find, you your google-fu to find more.
You haven't heard of Metric prefixes?
Those *are* SI units with standard prefixes.
I'm really surprised it is not porn.
Because the story has absolutely nothing to do with Apple or patents, and yet, GGP managed to find a way to bash Apple here. It's getting old.
Well, he's right that it is deeply rooted in our culture though.

CC stands for "Creative Commons", "by" stands for Attribution (must give some credit to original creator), "sa" stands for "Share Alike".
Well, I've heard the theory that religion in the US became popular during Cold War, as a view opposing Atheistic Communism in Soviet Union.
Now that strategic enemies (Iran, for example) are more religious, I think anti-atheism positions will get weaker over time.
Honest question: what exactly is the point then?
Well, there are a lot of honesty out there, if you care to look for it. Read the specs, reviews, blogs etc. and don't forget to turn on your bullshit filter in the process.
Advertising? 100% bullshit. Carefully crafted bullshit.
My thoughts exactly. Whoever expected that to be really shot with lumia, was probably born 2 weeks ago. Max.
It's really funny that they got caught like this though.
Economists don't understand people. Way bigger problem.

If the quality of those "hits" is on par with the quality of the hits from the real Rock Stars ... then id does not say very much.

Me neither. I definitely remember that they used to be there, but probably Rob took them with him.
Where did you get a Fucking controller? I want one!
