i just dont get it TBH, i guess im just old now (29 haha) but i find the idea of watching other people that I dont know...play a game does nothing for me. I dont mind watching my friends play because, they are my friends. but I dont understand why people would want to watch people play a game. that to me is the definition of lazy. because you have got to be seriously lazy if you cant be bothered to pick up a controller to play and instead sit around watching people play.
Even worse is watching people talk about watching other people play games (like that south park season finale made fun of)
I see no reason for anyone to complain about those as defaults. a string of numbers (696969) is not bad in anyway unless you really want to stretch the whole 69 thing. Batman and superman as a password I cant see how trademark owners could argue that a password is infringing on the trademark. As for the rest of your arguments I agree we shouldnt say "these are the most used passwords from slashdot" but I would like to know that they were talking about user submitted passwords over default PWs
yes, but im sure that someone out there has made, or is working on a way to crack those defaults too. Of the dozen or so routers ive set up in the past 3 years, almost all of them still follow a formula such as "color+number" or "fruit+number" . We are not getting passwords like 1nV@l!Dp2s$w04d by default yet
what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
after reading the article, im still confused as there isnt enough info to really make anything of this
The data is compiled from leaked passwords in 2014, by password company SplashData.
ok, so it was leaked passwords....but from where? for what reasons? on what devices? I would wager alot of "stock" devices will have simple PWs. and to most people, if it works, it doesnt need to be addressed. Also if PWs are from web pages? what are the pages? because if they are not secure pages (work, banks, personal info) most people simply dont care. I mean to leave comments on damn near any page, you need to register. I know on some pages ive created accts to leave a post and never plan on going back, im sure ive used some weak passwords for those sites.
in the end, without a breakdown of types of accounts / passwords, its a little hard to claim anything based on this data that is worth anything.
Instead of saying "well, we know it will be abused in the future so we cant have it, I think we simply need to institute harsh penalties for people who commit mission creep. and im not simply talking fines, Im talking prison and worse (depending on the mission creep involved) For example, the people who ok-ed the swat that i alluded to before i would not be upset at an eye for an eye. put them in a small room and throw a flash bang on them while they sleep.
plain smell should not even be used. I cant tell you how many times when people get pulled over cops all of a sudden "smell" something when they wanna look in the car (before anyone brings up my name... dont. I get the irony of me complaining about cops sense of smell)
mission creep, while a real thing should never be an excuse to not use something worthwhile. Take for example the case not to long ago where the SWAT got the wrong home and threw a flash grenade in a baby crib. Ignoring the fact that as you alluded to this kind of thing shouldnt be happening to begin with. In that instance, a baby might not be horribly scared for life because of a flash grenade. (lets assume that there was a real issue at hand for a moment)
While I dont disagree, we do have some of the better cops on the world wide scale. Id like to keep it that way. Giving more power to them has the opposite effect
the issue is that the police in this country have shown that they cannot be trusted. this tech will be abused just like stingrays are used in the grey area.
plain and simple, any "search tech" should require a court order (clear, not FICA) to be used and if the tech is used without one, the cops who carried it out, the superiors and the department as a whole should be held accountable to the highest extent possible. Last I checked we still have a 4th amendment
does it really matter? no, not to us, not right now. but generations from now it will be nice for the historians to have a name to go with the time frame (not like they wouldnt simply make one up as we have done with all other periods in time to date)
you would ignore data that contradicts your beliefs??? and you wonder why people say global warming promoters are a religious cult?? Me personally, I like to see information from everyone so that I can have a better understanding, which is what I am getting at here. But thanks for your insight.
Thanks drinky. I see what you are getting at and i misread the data. Im still in the camp that we shouldnt change everything overnight because OMG CO2!!! however I see where I errored out so thank you. At the same point, i think if everyone does a little bit, it all adds up for a better future. Im just sick and tired of the chicken littles out there claiming the sky is falling on every data set that comes out.
thank you! After looking at that chart im even more confused. According to that chart, there are at least 4 peaks higher than last year. meaning they were hotter than this past year. So Now im even more confused on how last year was the hottest ever when the chart you provided discredits that claim
I never said it reversed i said it hasnt increased. This article claims that the majority of the warming has occurred in the past 30 years. Im saying that 20 of those 30 years didnt see any warming. I know I dont know everything when it comes to this topic, but from my point of view saying that its been warming for 30 years when it hasnt been rising according to the climate scientists at nature makes me question the study for its accuracy

Good call. I watch sports, but I used to play but you have a valid sports ftfy there
what OS cant run chrome???

the fact that "admin" is on there as a PW, I would wager a lot of people dont change their router PW let alone SSID and SSID PW

interesting thought. I hadnt looked at that yet but it makes perfect sense.

auto manufacturers : you and your self driving cars, good luck insuring them
google : why dont i go ahead and just whip this out. oh look, BOOM insured.

dont forget the next law. Felony RF blocking wallpaper
in your eyes perhaps. not in mine

i did no such thing
I dont know about you, but its definitely not fruitless when i do it!

ahhh, ok. Thank you. I didnt see that note in the graph, I was basing it on yearly data. that makes perfect sense now.
