Try 1995-2000. That's when VC funding was handed out for no good reason to anyone who wanted a business and to live like a king. Last decade was when mortgages were handed out for no good reason to anyone who wanted a McMansion and to live like a king. You (and your upmodders) must be pretty young to get these confused, because they just weren't that long ago.
Each political side needs power to enact its agenda. That's why even the side that talks a good game about being anti- big money interests, nevertheless partners with them. Gaining and maintaining power requires money and swaying the people. The natural places to look for these, respectively, are Wall St. fatcats and big media conglomerates.
I meant only needing to understand the behind-the-scenes stuff that are actually features of the language. (And where the expression of Standard Library usage errors in terms of the compiler's library's implementation of it is obviously not a feature of the language.)
If I would have followed your advice, I'd have never become proficient in C++
You must've become proficient in C++ thru a lot of trial and error then.
There's nothing wrong with, while a newb, falling back to printf when cout is giving some perplexment. Then make a plan to read up on traits.
It also helps not to panic. I read that as "error: no match for 'operator<<' in blah blah blah". Where the "blah blah blah" appears to be mostly a listing of all overloads and the types that it does compile with.
Then you're doing it wrong -- at the point you can no longer grok what's going on, you've used too much of the feature (for your current level of ability to work with it).
And this holds for the language itself, which is what is usually leveled against. Until you understand what the compiler is doing behind the scenes, don't use it. It doesn't just translate your high-level code, it also can generate a lot of code for you. You have to know what your tools do. Even if the basic way you use them look a lot like how you use other, simpler tools.
Also don't expect to always be able to rely on Wikipedia. So the more general advice should be: Just be cognizant of what institutions the Left has originated or infiltrated. Or the Right for that matter. Just don't take things for granted, should be the message. Know what the agendas are, and where the money's coming from, even for, or maybe esp. for, entities that enjoy the popular perception of being mainstream.
But since when is a feud between GB and MM "news for nerds" or "stuff that matters"? So a Left-wing organization funded to counteract Right-wing media voices does what it's job is. That's not even news.
Religion is actually orthogonal to what you've just described. Some people think more in terms of the collective, and some are more individualist. Some people see it as important that we all live under a more authoritarian structure, and some want much less of that. This expresses itself in the political aspect of people's lives, if they have one, as well as the religious aspect, if they have one.
For example, a Christian religious person who thinks strong, centralized authority by ruling elites is important, such as to keep the doctrine pure, is going to be more drawn to Catholicism than say a non-denominational and Evangelical offshoot of Protestantism. An American political person who thinks strong, centralized authority by ruling elites is important, such as to ensure the persisting and increasing fighting of the war on Global Warming, is going to be more drawn to Progressive causes and candidates than say libertarian ones.
But given that they didn't lose their password, it would look to them that Amazon did, which would not inspire confidence in placing future orders. So the "horror" is not in getting back into the system, but what the user would think of the system if this changeover was handled poorly.
If it IS, then take the password they just used to login,
But if the problem with the system is that mixed-case and extra characters are allowed in the case of older passwords, what about users with 8-character passwords who log in right after your proposed change with caps lock accidently down? Or accidently hit another character-generating key while fumbling for the enter key?
They'll be logged in. But not next time, because their password is not what they think it is. And even if they'd been entering it wrong for years, if they'd written down somewhere the correct one, they'd find that that also does not work. Much bewilderment and negative feelings about Amazon would ensue.
Yes, I'd seen that before. An acceptable gamble for those who need to break ties with AOL and would like to hang on to their email address (for however how long that might be), but not for those for whom those two qualifiers are switched, unfortunately.
How? My mom sticks with AOL for a similar reason -- as part of her geneology hobby she's sent out her AOL email address as her point of contact to tons of people, and has no list of them to be able to notify them of a switchover.
People will take more guff from charismatic persons. The attractive are indirectly taught that they don't have to be as nice to other people, to be liked, as less attractive folk. So there tends to be a (inverse) correlation between looks and what I'll call sustained pleasantness and graciousness. (Which besides attraction is also crucial to a long-lasting love relationship.)
So character as in honesty and integrity may very well be orthogonal to looks, but sweetness of disposition and generosity (beyond merely the ability to excel at initially exuding such, that everyone with highly-developed social skills has learned to do) is not. Great-looking women are rarely great people on the inside in this regard.
The "but it's for the greater good" movement [I have other, more common names for them] is blitzing societies and our consciousnesses right now, in a loosely-concerted big push to achieve critical mass. So we're going to keep on hearing that in general people cannot be trusted to make the right decisions, and so therefore we must accept more and more controls, and accept them as a good thing. We're all in this together, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, etc.
We could always bring down the cost to operate them, by merging some of the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) project's flesh-eating robot technology into them. Then "Powered by Honda" -> "Powered by bums"!
Match this artificial dude up against ASIMO, and we'd finally have what those Robot Wars TV shows should've been. And that Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots game. See kids, robots are useful for more things than just sex, could be the lesson.
Next we could build a 21st century AD version of the Roman Coliseum, to house and showcase mankind's new pastime. The first bout between these two contenders might initially appear mismatched, with the GM product being prone to falling apart on its own. But being an outdoor arena, its opponent would soon rust. And if that wasn't enough, stairs could always be installed in the battle area.
For those who don't know: InPrivate Filtering is a very cool (but never-used) IE8 feature [...] Larger still is that it turns itself off on every new browser session, which was apparently a policy decision.
I've been running IE8 for a while now and never used nor noticed this very cool feature until a few weeks ago. And didn't notice that very uncool "feature" of this feature until a few days ago! Gah! Happily, it's only adding a single registry entry to make the thing stay on. This worked for me (on x64 Vista -- not sure about XP or W7, and apparently it's different for IE9b).
This place has indeed gone to the dogs, but revealing modern hacker techniques one should watch out for is part of the reason I keep coming here. I just don't know how I'm going to tell my folks and other non-techie associates that there's something called port numbers that they should also find some way to add to what they try to pay attention to.

Gee, thanks a lot. You might as well have posted an ASCII goatse. Now we're all scarred for life too.

"If you like pina coladas..."
I figure after home 3D flops, next they'll introduce home simulated IMAX wrap-around TV, with a 16:1 aspect ratio. Look for 1280 x 80 netbooks.
The belief is that people are too stupid to go along with good ideas for how the world should be, so they must be tricked. For their own good.
...to the term "Wii"!

And what exactly would be the point of nagging the desktop users in those businesses?
Thereby running the risk of someday suddenly being yanked away from Hell? ;)
