I actually use completely unrelated responses to these question and store them in a password manager as well. Of course with a password manager, they're never really needed.
Some sites ask for security questions when they detect no cookie.
One bit of information might be enough. Sell or don't sell.
It's usually buy, sell or hold, but really you want a specific number, which could be very detailed if you're doing microtransactions. And you probably need a few bits to identify which stock you're selling, and all this needs a carrier of some sort. The expensive part, though, is probably securing the transmission.
Now you are wrong about the ribbon, only because you are not taking into account office jocks have been using office for over a decade and know it like the back of their hand. The ribbon blows muscle memory all to shit and I've watched as people that could fly on 2K3 were brought to a screeching halt thanks to the ribbon. Sure its great if you've never used office before, but that isn't their biggest demographic is it?
"OMG, they moved the buttons out of a fucking menu and put them right in front of me! I'm completely lost because of my "muscle memory" or some bullshit excuse!"
It's been 5 fucking years, how god damn long does it take you people to learn this shit? It's not rocket fucking science, it's Office, for christ's sake.
Do we need to bring back Clippy to hold your hands and change your fucking diapers?
An F-16 pilot said the Air Force is either “incompetent for missing this until now,” or “dishonest and trying to sweep something under the rug.”
Usually a reporter throws out dozens of quotes until she finds one like this that is sensational.
A quote like, "yeah, this is a really hard engineering problem to solve, and every time you go up and run a test flight it's expensive and dangerous," just wouldn't get printed because it's not news.
If I've only got Comcast, DSL, satellite and cellular, the market isn't working because Comcast has a "monopoly", where "monopoly" is Greek for "I don't like that company". Because the market isn't working unless the fiber fairy has given the hobo on the park bench 10 Gbps, and he's regular.
And if there are a dozen manufacturers producing tablets, some of which are premium and some of which are cheap, the market still isn't working because there's a "race to the bottom." God forbid poor people could be allowed to purchase consumer electronics!
You not getting what you want is not a market failure. Is it really so hard to grasp the concept of scarcity?
Even Sam & Max kinda sorta worked for the police. Anonymous as vigilantes is pretty accurate, they decide what they think the law is, and they decide who they think has broken it, mostly based on their meteoric sense of self-righteousness.
Apple has a history of driving away developers by incorporating their ideas into the bundled apps. Not many developers though... only those of really well thought out OS enhancements.
It's a good thing, too, or else to get a functional OS you'd have to buy and install dozens of utilities. Remember when the only TCP/IP implementations for Windows were third party? The ultimate goal is to create a great experience that users are willing to pay for, and anything that gets in the way tends to get railroaded. That's not a problem, that's progress.
Yup, better, when there were multiple 3rd party implementations for scanners and Bluetooth. Oh, you want to use your scanner with two apps? Suck it homeslice, the drivers you need can't be installed at the same time.
It's funny how George Lucas pretty much did in the Special Editions to the fans (and future fans) what Vader did to Lando in ESB. Well, not exactly funny, but ironic maybe?
Huh? It's been a while, but I don't recall a scene where Vader slaps Lando to the ground, says, "suck it, bitch, you'll buy it anyway" and shits in his face.
(That's one kind of dramatic scene where a cape just doesn't work.)
The econobox I drive to work each day would be a technological marvel to the most wealthy of executives even 50 years ago. New things are expensive, so the rich get them first, but if we never dream of any thing new simply to spite those more fortunate, we spite only ourselves on the long term.
I really wasn't trying to be spiteful towards them, they had a very good reason to want to get where they were going quickly, and back in those days business had to be done face to face. Hell, even today there's controversy over the POTUS signing legislation with an auto-pen.
And rich people aren't the only select group. I don't spite astronauts and cosmonauts and such for being a handful of people who had the rare combination of talents and drive that got them through their space program into an incredibly small club. But while it is great science, flying around space itself has been more an indicator of human progress, I think, than a driver itself. And I think that's true of the Concorde.
Real drivers of progress have to be far more ubiquitous. Cellphones, for instance, started out as rich people's toys, but unlike the Concorde they've had a far more dramatic impact on society. And I doubt many rich people cared about washing machines, but that was an incredibly liberating invention.
Haha, funny, I've heard people rave about driving around the French countryside, but, yeah, I think I'd stick to touring the cities on foot.
I live around DC, and we get tons of new drivers from all over who have never driven around here before, and a lot of them are the super aggressive political types, or they're driving government vehicles and don't give a fuck. By the time they've mellowed out a little, there's a new administration and you get a whole new batch of assholes.
If you strip out the broken-hearted fanboy stuff, there's a perfectly rational letter in there explaining how his business needs aren't being met by their current product offerings, and that lack of software support for capable hardware is driving him to migrate to another platform.
That whole "let's carefully assemble the evidence and come to a reasoned conclusion" is just a conspiracy to hide the TRUTH
If you didn't notice I did actually carefully assemble the evidence and come to a reasoned conclusion.
This is the standard response to all medical conditions where there might be legal liability. Proving a direct causal link is very difficult, as people who got cancer from cigarettes or asbestos exposure discovered.
Uh, no, you explicitly claimed that her desire to do studies for several years was just spin. You're demanding bullshit answers now, rather than waiting for science to be done, which is the standard alarmist position.
At this point it time, there is no study that "proves" cigarette smoke causes cancer in humans. So we should lift all rules imposed assuming as much until a causal link is proven, not just the strong correlation and proof in non-human creatures. After all, without *proof* lets act like the opposite is true, regardless of the likelihoods of each.
Sorry, no dice. For smoking, we took some years to run studies, and then passed laws based on those studies. That is "carefully assembling the evidence and coming to a reasoned conclusion."
Nice try trying to play that angle down by the professor there.
That's right! That whole "let's carefully assemble the evidence and come to a reasoned conclusion" is just a conspiracy to hide the TRUTH. We should all RUN IN CIRCLES AND SCREAM AND PANIC!
But how many people have an online persona that is vastly different than they're real life one? I have friends that act like they're Che Guevara on their social media postings that, in real life, will bitch and cry and complain for an hour if the person at Starbucks takes too long to prepare their non-fat mochaccinolatte
But that's pretty much how Che Guevara did act in real life. The guy was a pampered rich kid who, when he couldn't hack it as a doctor, decided to play soldier. After a string of pitiful failures, he tried to prove how tough he was to his men by personally executing bound prisoners, or shooting his men in the back when they tried to get away.
and don't even get me started on all the people that bitch and complain about "freeloaders" and "people living on the government teat" that I know for a fact are collecting government services themselves or have benefited from them in the past..
We know that the IRS tracks donations to the treasury and there are virtually none. Therefore, people who want higher taxes don't actually donate to the treasury, they just vote for higher taxes. So their actions demonstrate the acceptable standard: play by the rules as they are, and vote for how you want them to be.
Thus the pro-taxers have clearly established that as long as you vote to eliminate government handouts, it's perfectly fair to take the benefits while the law stands. And even that's ignoring that you've already paid taxes for those benefits anyway.
How does your subconscious know which password to use? How many 30-bit passwords can be "implanted"?
Incidentally, the fact that the password is known is really not an issue, if you consider it simply another factor of security. I wouldn't want to play a damned game every time to log in anyway, but if I only occasionally used an account and this was used to verify the system I was on, that would be fine. Call it the Rumsfeld system: you log in with something you know, and something you don't know you know.
If you're just disassembling used electronics to recycle the parts, don't you just use a heat gun? That doesn't seem like it would require any special skills.
Yet another horrible headline. The resolution doesn't declare the Internet a basic right, it declares that the Internet isn't exempt from the protection of basic rights. Not even close to the same thing, though it doesn't surprise me that Soulskill apparently couldn't tell the difference.
I was about to pile on, but you're misreading the/. headline, which is almost plagia^H^H^H^H^H^Hidentical to the Times headline.
The headline says "UN Declares Internet Freedom a Basic Right", not the Internet itself as a basic right. Unless they changed it, or something.
Why? I'm a Romney supporter and I'd call him Dr. Paul. After all, he's done far more as an ob-gyn doctor than he's ever done as a legislator. Even he'd probably tell you that.
I'd love to ask him "Dr. Paul, have you ever turned away a patient because she wanted an abortion?"
The Hippocratic oath is an oath/EM., not a guideline to be bent for superstitious beliefs.
You're seriously talking about superstitious beliefs, but implicitly accepting the notion that a child doesn't become human until she passes through the birth canal? Your position is actually more superstitious than what Christians believe, which at least specifies a distinct biological process.
Seriously, explain to me, scientifically, at what point abortion becomes infanticide. If a foot is still in the birth canal, is that still an abortion? Once the child is fully born, can you use something like the "three-second" rule to kill it? Maybe if you change your mind, you could stuff it back in there and it'd be cool? If the mother delivers prematurely, do you get up until the 9 months? How about children born through Caesarian, can they be killed at any point because they were never technically born of woman, kinda like how Macduff was able to kill Macbeth?

That's pretty interesting stuff, but I wonder if it's any good for cheese racing? That link, btw, is not for anyone afraid of the competitive spirit.

...this century's progress in the peak of human achievement will far lag that of the last.
If you want to measure progress in "how fast a handful of executives fly around," sure.

Nowadays, Australian law is based on what the USA wants.
To think I used to be proud to have been born in Australia. What a bunch of crybabies.

By similar logic, people should drive at night with their headlights off. If they can't be seen, it makes it harder for other drivers to hit them.
That's good advice in some places.
