Well, in general, I'd suggest something related to the service rather than the service itself. Computer algorithms generally aren't intuitive in the same way computers are. Paypal -> $pr3f1x29# elh oh el I liek money u gieve

You could implement your own dictionary (in ELvish!) if you wanted. But, I just make them up. You can re-use the prefix as it's only purpose is to screw up "whole word" algorithms.

As I posted on Proggit. NO. NO. NO. Password length is by far the most important factor to brute force attacks. Which, I presume, is most people's concerns because if we're talking about weak hashes or plain-text storage, you're kind of

But I was told that Chrome will protect me and I don't need to whitelist content.

I'm inclined to agree, but I want to make the caveat here that a lot of phones don't have encrypted bootloaders (e.g. the Droid RAZR) by default. The carriers throw a fit and refuse to buy the phone unless it's encrypted for their needs. So

As somebody who works as an expert (I hate that word by the way, so I apologize) in the legal field, I can say this sentiment is pretty accurate. People think the that evil cabal of lawyers et al conspire against the little man to crush, op

I just disabled the entire API. I see no difference in "user experience" save not being able to trade eggs.

You mean like this? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite I agree; I much prefer whitelisting as I go (which is why I still use Firefox + NoScript + RequestPolicy).

I think, in general, I find some of academic's dogma a bit off-putting. I always approach things in the most classical sense--that is, everything is relatively true. Not to dismiss empirical data though. For example, people seem entrenched

I don't know if it's a sign of some neurotic behavior, but I hate it when people use the word bright. And, for whatever reason, they use it a lot. I find it patronizing if not placating--especially when my work isn't appreciated by people t

I'm not a hardcore statistics person, since I only took enough to get me through ECE, but I think this is why I always had a problem with softer sciences (undergraduates, maybe graduate students are better). Things always boiled down to, "l

I use MS as well as nix depending, and I do agree that this scenario has simple, clear cut advantages to use nix. That being said, this article just made me feel dirty. I don't know why people have to overstate a point or politicize every

Should have? Maybe. But, with corporations that size it's unlikely. I'm not saying this fall entirely on him, but I feel he didn't exactly do his fullest before puling the trigger on the full disclosure.

I'm not a Mac person myself, but I do respect their design philosophy in the sense you don't have to do wild new things -- just standard things really well. So, by proxy I respect their engineers quite a bit. My only beef, really, was with

Insofar as the dump file still gets stored somewhere, I don't see why this is bad either. Most of the time, in modern versions, BSODs are hardware/driver related and require somebody half-competent to diagnose it.

That's right. Use that lambda expression. Right there.

I should add something to your statements. SCReddit is a lot of things (not good), but their leniency towards commercialism is by and large more flexible than the other SRs. It's mostly driven by the fact Starcraft has been an underground,

I didn't mean to imply that, I meant to imply one "should" have two different volumes with different operating systems as to ensure no artifices from your misdeeds are on the "day to day" volume (assuming said criminal is using Windows). I'
