A token generator, a little device where you push a button and get a password. Sorry that the language was confusing, I wanted to make the point that tokens, codes, keys, whatever they want to call them are another password.

Logging in. First I need to make an account for nearly everything. Then I need to link that account to a phone number or email. Then every time I use the service I need to wait for them to text or email me a password. If they email me the p

In my experience useful scientific knowledge is accumulated in people actively working. Documents (books, papers, guides, programs, talks, blog posts, etc) are communication tools, but are limited by the medium and the ability of the author

Not sure why, when every flagship phone has rounded corners, we don't all use circular monitors. It completely solves the rotation issue, and is stylish too.

My thought is to require all domains be sold for the same set price (or at least constant for each TLD). If someone wants to register 1,000 domains let them, but don't allow them to profit off that. If someone breaks the rule, revoke t

What's the reasoning or history behind why domain prices A) vary between TLDs and B) are allowed to be sold at any price (think huge markups from domain speculating)?

What I hate on Hulu is clicking to watch an epiode, getting a short network splash animation with sound, then getting a short promo for the show I'm about to watch, and THEN the show starts playing. These are not skippable and this is

I love Kroger's natural peanut butter (ingredients: peanuts,salt) for $1-$2/lb. It's amazing to me that the hydrogenated crap is more expensive, and the name brand natural stuff is more expensive still!

Can't believe how many people want Lou to have the van impounded. The Amazon name is so big and so impersonal, anything and everything associated with it is expected to be taken care of by the System right away. This is our culture. Lo

How do the workers feel about these changes? I hate being told what tool to use. I've worked in computer labs where the admin had very strong opinions on what software was good and only installed those tools, no alternatives. It stinks

Authors get pushed into writing like this, then readers learn how to read a scientific paper. The point is: a lot of people put up with this process and don't feel incentivized or empowered to challenge it with their own work. I hope i

Literally, yes. But I find it incredibly annoying to estimate indentation when lines are wrapped in an editor (or webpage). Or, to a lesser extent but still throws me off, when multiple blocks end at the same line. Or when pasting blocks in

I miss using my Logitec MX 1100 so much. It was the perfect fit for my hand, and batteries lasted months. I still have it in fact, just to make sure I'm not being overly nostalgic. Unfortunately the materials were poor quality: I liter

I feel I'm the only one who absolutely hates the zoo of MFA I'm subjected to as part of the latest and greatest in security for the masses. I hope something comes along to replace all of it soon.
