Telling me the composition by career of the top earners is as useful as telling me their composition by handedness - you're telling the story backwards.
Career-wise, it would be useful to tell us the likelihood of making each earning bracket *by career*.
Umm, did you skip the last paragraph? I suggested that users *should not* think of the random words but blind-pick them from a dictionary (or/usr/share/dict/words, if you will). It'd be part of the whole method and if the user disregards it then [s]he may as well choose "facebook123".
Inagine, as another user posited, that they only pick words from the middle third. That's roughly half an order of magnitude less search-space per word - 81x for 4-word passwords. Makes a difference but nothing to cause a commotion about.
Then there's another argument for actual-word passwords: complicated, non-memorable passwords are more prone to be trusted to a Post-It, which is the Ultimate Vulnerability (TM). I for one take a middle road and use oddly-abbreviated passphrases.
Even if we entertained the XKCD comic and started training users to select four random words instead of a complex single-word password, I argue that it would not amount to a significant increase in security.
People are not very creative and tend to think the same way when choosing passwords. This would lead to the exact same problem we have now, where a few passwords such as "password123" become very common. What is there to prevent “letmeinfacebook” from being the new most common four word password for Facebook accounts?
Umm, how would they "think" of random words? I think "random" means something like: you pick a dictionary, close your eyes, open it on a random page and put your finger; repeat as needed.
I mostly agree with that - my big issue with today's Lego (and I think yours) is rather the single-purpose pieces. I liked Legoland's antenna dishes that you could mate in several different ways, and the minifig's hands which had another "standard" dimension that also included stick antennae, etc etc. (don't get me started with Technic). Many of today's sets are just toys that you can disassemble and put back together.
Back on topic, I meant the theme on the box, which is even more visible than Shell's tiny logo on a brick so I wouldn't be surprised if they go after gas-station kits (though I suspect anti-corporatism played a significant part here).
My first thought upon reading the Ars piece was "why not get a Symbian Nokia? I have one in my pocket right now and with Opera Mini it does the job better than this thing"; the Ars readership seems to concur. There's also mention of a $48 (maybe $60 if the import duties are huge) Lumia 520 and a dozen other workable devices.
The bottom line: shoehorn your pet OS with HTML5 framework in ultracheap hardware, and everybody loses.
Fair enough, considering that the smart~ part is practically unusable. My immediate thought upon reading the Ars piece was "why not get a Symbian Nokia? I have one in my pocket right now and with Opera Mini it does the job better than this thing"; the Ars readership seems to concur.
I thought that's what forking was for - you roll your own version, advertise it, and the original author may be persuaded to incorporate your changes. Worst case, you have two project cross-pollinating (e.g. mplayer / mplayer2 / mpv, ffmpeg / libav, TWiki / Foswiki).
The original author is talking about water, not hydrogen, because:
“The finding... makes it quite hard for these regions in the disk to synthesize any new molecules. This was an 'aha' moment for us -- without any new water creation the only place these ices could have come from was the chemically rich interstellar gas out of which the solar system formed originally,” Cleeves wrote in an email to Discovery News.
“It's remarkable that these ices survived the entire process of stellar birth,” she added.

Same reason why minstrel shows were popular with white audiences: it takes the stereotypes and shortcomings surrounding group X and exaggerates them; non-Xs find it funny.
Educated guess: since some files will eventually have to be modified/deleted, and they aren't about to toss a disc every time, I'm guessing they log file (block?) invalidation for deletes/updates. Once the disc has too little valid data, the valid data (likely of several discs in the same condition) is copied to a new disc and the old one goes to the shredder.
If regulations internal or legal) specify that some data has to be effectively destroyed at the moment, then just skip the invalidation bit and replace the disc right away.
I knew someone would bring up OCZ's reputation. News flash: they've been wholly owned by Toshiba since January. Why they decided to keep the tarnished brand is a mystery to me.
FF never loaded my routers page because some stupid certificate bullshit at the time.
If you're using https, it's worthless without a trusted certificate. Blame who made your router. And psst... it can be bypassed with an exception, even permanently.
Opera, forced an update on me right in the middle of writing down stuff.
I don't use the Wonder from the North, but apparently the update can be postponed, and the whole auto-update mechanism can be disabled.
Why are developers so shit? You'd think they'd sit down and just think things out. PLAN THINGS YOU IDIOTS.
I know, right? So hard to find competent help these days. So fire them!

Wreckless is how I like my flights! (you insensitive clod!)

So, it's like picking from a dictionary 1/3 the size of the one they picked up - half an order of magnitude less possibilities per word.

It's no wonder that several airlines are struggling, then.

Only it's full-duplex, spread-spectrum, and allows many separate, invite-only, multiparty conversations. Besides that, no improvement here.

Seriously, no hand-edited directory has been able to keep pace with WWW content for... ten years now? fifteen?
For those who don't mind the lag: DMOZ - the Open Directory Project.

I thought you were going to say "this is 39 square meters". Even Google converts automatically into m.sq. when you input "47 square yards".
In a mobile device, and given the usage trends? 3-D dick pics.

So, they're looking for civili[zs]ations classified as Type 3 in the Kardashev scale:
A civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy.
OK, suppose we find their galaxy, conspicuous like a flamingo. How do we hail in order to confirm?

Then add the bloody exception, because a man-in-the-middle attack is out of the question and that's precisely what it's for.
Wow, someone's ulcer is flaring up.
