How about when they let you type in a password as long as you want when you create it, only to find out when you go to the login page that it only allows 8 characters anyway. Or worse, it will let you type as many as you want, but only accept the first X... and then compare it to the 16 you entered when you signed up and of course fails every time.
Microsoft introduced a reduced-size password entry box for login (to 8-10, IIRC,) when it absorbed Hotmail, thus locking me out due to my 16-32 character password.
You know what's worse? Security questions! Especially when you can't type your own.
I agree. They completely undermine whatever security the password provided. Also ridiculous, the Q&A field(s) usually allow a more secure response than the password field(s). For the record, my favorite color for the next fifteen seconds is oI!A'Tbx+tqm)n;?:h5YdiV=@g)vlaj
Anonymous and LulzSec are really funny until it happens to you.
I retrieve all data disclosed by both groups. Should I find one of my accounts in any their disclosures, I would condemn the corporation that left my account open to compromise, not the organization that cast light upon said corporation's lackadaisical security procedures. Once one's account appears on one of these lists, it's plausible that a genuine "black hat" organization (that does not practice disclosure) already possesses these data, for use in the pursuit of financial gain.
Well, of course. c6gunner is a US-obsessed authoritarian foreign national whose self-fulfillment comes solely from carpet-bombing American forums with weapons-grade bullshit.
The pentium serial number scare was silly in light of unique mac addresses.
MAC addresses are easily changed; just a couple of clicks away in Windows Device Manager. Intel only backed off (BIOS toggle, off by default, eventual removal of PSN "feature") following pressure from EU, EFF, et al.
No thanks. Halogen lamps need filters and other stuff to be safe for human use.
"Glass" is the material used to filter UV from a halogen light source. Only the quartz envelope is UV-transparent. All halogen fixtures sold in the US that use bare quartz envelopes include a glass UV filter.
it's like an old joke, about a computer programmer, who is being pulled away from his computer by a bunch of mental hospital nurses, while he is looking at the screen, where there is an infinite loop running, and he is yelling: -It's only going to take a little longer!
So, how does the joke go? Or is what you wrote above supposed to be interpreted as a "joke?" If that's the case, you need to do some research into what does and does not constitute a joke. What you've written is at best, an unconvincing parable of negligible utility.
Violent crime has been on the down slope since the end of the crack wars in the 80s [...]
You've pointed out one significant factor, though the greatest factor [per research cited in Freakonomics] was the Roe vs. Wade ruling, and the subsequent decline in unwanted births and/or births by women and girls unprepared for motherhood.
Slashdot Mirror
What, you mean modding something Funny doesn't give the poster any positive karma?
No, it doesn't, according to the moderation guidelines/help.
The flexibility of the building might be a key part of its earthquake protection, and it probably doesn't need fixing.
True points, though both safety and comfort can be improved with the addition of one or more tuned mass dampers.
Please mod parent funny :)

NEVER put your password on a post-it note stuck to your monitor!!
The correct place for it is under the keyboard
According to Bruce Schneier, the correct place for it is the user's wallet.

What difference does it make, unless you're paying Clinton's energy bills? If you're genuinely curious, use a GIS package.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Fourth Amendment, and you are a fucking moron.
So, fondling a child's genitals constitutes a "reasonable search?"

For dogs I don't remember the whole story off-hand.
