I think he just likes playing Godzilla. He's a Wookiee bully.

I see your triangle and I'll raise you one Timecube.

The United States vs the Soviet Union, for one. There are many examples, but a notable one was the secret communication that Chairman Khrushchev made to President Kennedy. It was a very long and emotional. While the two leaders were brash with each other in public speeches, privately Khrushchev begged Kennedy:

"It is thus that we, Soviet people, and, together with US, other peoples as well, understand the questions of war and peace. I can, in any case, firmly say this for the peoples of the Socialist countries, as well as for all progressive people who want peace, happiness, and friendship among peoples. [...] Consequently, if there is no intention to tighten that knot and thereby to doom the world to the catastrophe of thermonuclear war, then let us not only relax the forces pulling on the ends of the rope, let us take measures to untie that knot. We are ready for this. [...] There, Mr. President, are my thoughts, which, if you agreed with them, could put an end to that tense situation which is disturbing all peoples. These thoughts are dictated by a sincere desire to relieve the situation, to remove the threat of war." *

I think it's pretty certain that Krushchev and Kennedy being able to talk to each other helped diffuse a situation that brought the superpowers closest to the nuclear brink.

It was after the Cuban Missile Crisis that the Moscow Washington direct hotline was installed so that the leaders could communicated directly to resolve crises.

You leave a history with that nickname. The longer the history is, the more chances you will have of leaving something identifiable. Idiom usage and sentence construction at first, but as months turn to years, chances grow that you start mentioning enough things about the place where you live to narrow things down to a geographic location. And if you mention specific events or things that only you or a few others know, you're really setting yourself up for trouble.

Kindof hard not to when the details are made very public.
It's not like keeping the script of a movie under wraps. When you fire workers and make them retrain their H1B replacements, there's no way to keep that secret.

Good for tablets, but I've found the Hacker's keyboards (which I use for my ssh connections) pack too many keys too closely, and I end up making a lot more spelling mistakes. Naturally, there's no spell correction like there is with the Samsung keyboard. I don't want ssh connections spell checked (that could never work), though I wouldn't mind other apps like sms messaging being spell checked.

You might have missed his point, that the only way to root a Samsung Android phone is to exploit (and leave open) a giant security vulnerability.

Everyone knows it's total bullshit too, as Internet service providers don't have any control over what computers and devices are hooked up on your home connection, nor should they.

I have noticed that numbers and punctuation like ! and $ are left unmodified after a password is ROT13d. Does that mean I should avoid such characters in my password and only use letters to be truly secure?

No, they do not. So if you ever forget your master password, you lose all your Lastpass-managed passwords forever (happened to my husband..). Everything is encrypted by your master password before it gets to Lastpass.

The only thing they have access to is your password hint, settable by you, which could be anything (and I usually set my password hint to have no relation to the master password).

Not really, he didn't say that nothing will happen, just that a small amount of work will be needed to fix it.
That doesn't mean he wants to do that work for no reason.

So ignore the PR drones and keep using the words as you used to, don't let the drones destroy a perfectly good word.

Just curious, how is his making some suggestions for things to look up "imposing" on you?

"Selective Libertarianism?" Interesting idea.
