Did not RTFA, but a piece in the NY Times a few weeks ago talked about how the recollections and dietary logs of food study participants are unreliable. Studies rely on participants keeping a journal of everything they eat, over long periods of time. The accuracy of the study is only as accurate as the recollections and journal entries of those who are eating.

This system is for regular kegs, but home brewers almost always use soda kegs which are far smaller. The video mentions as small as 30 liter kegs, but the soda kegs used by home brewers are 5 gallon which is about 19 liters. The OP was probably being overly snarky without knowing the details of keg sizes. Note that there are people that have keg systems at home for personal use, but that is for commercial kegs. I doubt those home users would want to spend the money to support this system.

Or they use really obscure questions. Verizon prompted me for "Favorite Vacation Spot" the other day, and I could not recall my answer. Wound up resetting the password and account.

Wish I could mod this up...I do have points, but if I mod this the thread gets deleted. :(

I forgot to also mention two-factor authentication. The downside of all this is if the phone is lost/damaged then you may not be able to access your passwords.

But of course, none of these celebrities have time for this. Technology has enabled them to do things that were competently handled by manager and agents in the past.

A strong password CAN be easily remembered. How about remembering 10 and 11?
"Ten!!!!!!!!!!!"
That's 10 and eleven "!" characters.

Length is really the primary consideration and once you get to 10+ characters the repetition isn't necessarily an issue.

But to your point about the cloud, I agree. I truly despise how all the vendors (Google, Apple, Microsoft among others) are driving data to cloud storage. It's so difficult just to save a file to the local device...every other prompt is trying to get you to save to their server farm.

Yup, I agree. I have Lastpass for my iPhone but some of my banking apps won't let me paste a copied password into their app. Try typing "$eR#g,Q2!yu?" into a banking app using the touch screen.....argh! I could drive to the bank by then to make my deposit. :)

I'd imagine once you hack a celebrity email you can then get emails of their friends, and so on. The key is to get the email address of Kevin Bacon and then you're golden.

Use one very strong password for the password manager. That allows you to have hundreds of different passwords so each site you visit uses a different password and you don't need to remember them. If you use a strong enough password then you'll be fine.

Just another reminder to use strong passwords, password managers, and change them often. It's a pain, but it's the reality of the digital world.

They don't just throw themselves under the bus, they pile up in front of it. It whips the base into a feeding frenzy.

Or rile up their base.

It's cute how you are surprised there are people in the US that would 100% vote against a gay person no matter how qualified they were. Me pointing it out has no bearing on the discussion, because those who are opposed to the "gay lifestyle" are likely already mounting a campaign against her. They didn't me to make this observation.

Because while she is quite qualified for the position I can bet that some in Congress will not only have an issue with her gender but also her sexual orientation.

Note that I do not believe this should be an issue at all, but reality is often different from what we would hope.

Occasionally the merchant services provider will ask to speak with the customer, and they also will contact the issuing bank. However, the entire call is handled over the initial call that was made to the merchant services provider. Once the merchant services provider speaks with the customer the retail clerk gets the phone back and it is at that point that the merchant services provider gives the clerk an approval code to use.

Note that for American Express and Discover the retail store calls their processing center directly. That's because they handle their approval system and they will frequently speak with the customer to verify security details. But the Amex number for merchants is an entirely different number than the one on the cards themselves, and the retail clerk initiates the call and speaks with the representative.
