Doesn't that just mean more money though? I'd agree that the analysis of the damages would get pretty fuzzy at best if you're trying to account for such factors, but it's still ultimately just a loss of money.

So we shouldn't take advantage of current laws because then they might get changed and we wouldn't be able to take advantage of current laws anymore? Hm.

Domino's put out a similar video a couple years ago: http://shine.yahoo.com/shine-food/dominos-gives-us-a-glimpse... (sorry, would have linked directly to the video but it doesn't seem to be allowed)

But in that case the password has only been compromised on that one website, as opposed to every other website where it's being used (likely a non-zero number of them given the average user's password habits). I'm no security expert but I

Security questions are usually just used to decide whether to send you an email with a password reset link (or more annoyingly, a new password), aren't they? I've never seen a system where being able to answer the security question(s) is e

That doesn't actually contradict what the guy I responded to said though; you'd want to try signing up for gmail with a few variations of your own login that have a few random extra '.'s. My assumption is that these would all be rejected

I never really use sort by price because I find that the cheapest results are usually not very relevant, but I do have other complaints about sorting results on Amazon... Why do I still need to select a department in order to sort? Does Ama

It seems like it might be simpler both for the dev and the user to just send an SMS with a neatly-formatted text version of the bill rather than a link to a screenshot of the bill. If it's just a couple amounts, tax, tip, and total, that se

Has anyone seen this happen in chat yet (I don't use FB chat much)? The example image shows it in a group chat (and the text also says "That way, you always know who got the message, and who didn't.", which semi-implies multiple receivers)

I do this too, but (as lazy as this might sound) I'm definitely much less inclined to watch TV knowing that I'll have to go through that process vs. grabbing the remote and pressing 'power' and flipping through the channels (which is perhap

I don't know much about psychopathy, but is it generally accurate to say that psychopaths don't "understand" the ethical rules of society or the motivation for having said rules? I thought it was more that they didn't feel any sense of pers

I think GP is using "organized" to mean the same thing you're using "forced" to mean - given by a governing body from its tax revenue. Funny how we tend to choose the adjective that puts our personal views in the best possible light. :P

I've been using OSX as my primary OS for about a year (other than using Linux exclusively on every machine I SSH into for dev), but I just found out from your post that caps lock + shift doesn't make things lowercase on Mac. So, nope, I

by FaceKicker 14y ago
I downvoted you because your post seemed unnecessarily pedantic and condescending to me. I think it was pretty clear that GP was casually (or accidentally) using "retina display" as a generic term for "high DPI display".

It's built into Coursera's video player - there's a menu/button to change it somewhere on the toolbar under the video. I like to watch at 1.5x (or 2x if it's something I'm really sure I completely know from previous courses or experience)

Well I feel dumb, sorry. I thought he meant original casing + all lowercase version + all uppercase version were all acceptable (which isn't the same as case insensitive but for the purposes of cracking it is just as bad).

It's actually much more than 3 times the chance; this rule allows you to restrict your brute force search to only check passwords with no uppercase characters (or no lowercase characters) which reduces the key space for a given maximum pass

Slightly related, I was wondering how the actual lottery tells if your ticket is real - do the machines record your ticket's serial number and number(s) chosen and then send the info to the lottery HQ? Or do the lottery machines compute an

But they don't need to understand the mathematical details of the cryptographic protocol (do they?), which seemed to be what you were implying. It seems to me the details could easily be abstracted away into a sequence of idiot-proof steps

Regardless of what you think of the kind of people who the government would contract to develop electronic voting machines, I don't think I'd call them "laypeople". Or are you saying that every individual voter needs to understand the inne
