The reason passwords suck is:
This one wants eight characters, with a symbol and letter
This one wants eight characters, with NO symbols, and a letter
This one wants upper and lower case letters
This one wants upper and lower case with a symbol and number
This one want upper and lower with no symbols.
The formats change all the time, so it is no wonder that most people end up with a post it note stuck to the computer, or if stealthy, inside the draw.
Do NOT give them ideas. It is bad enough that you need to pick your car carefully as to ensure aftermarket parts, because any "car maker only" part is exorbitantly priced.
Rent options ? A car is an appliance...
The only problem here is that the credit card industry will then figure out yet another way to screw the small merchant. PCI compliance is a great idea. The various "insurance policies" and "penalty fees for PCI noncompliance" pushed by the interchange companies are a rip off and farce. They aren't going after my small business......but I'll pay more money to someone because some Russians hacked Target. Thanks !!!
By the way, why do we have interchange companies anyway ???
Teens in House. All Content comes from the web. Very occasionally, a "glee" or "Dr Who" comes up, and they get away from the computer and sit in front of the big screen. 99% of the time they are in front of the big screen, it is Netflix streaming the content, and occasionally a less formal streaming service.
Appointment TV....zero. This is why I can't watch the evening news without seeing horrible drug ads (or ads for horrible drugs-but I appear to get a beach house if I take that drug)
The kids have left the building. The only time they really use my home theater is for a movie with surround sound.
Knowing someone who made good health choices, but had congestive heart failure anyway, and is now alive due to an LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device), I'd say that you don't have any clue about the real world. Yes, some folks drink or smoke themselves sick, but guess what ? Parts fail. We'll just leave you by the side of the ER when yours do...
American workers have been forced to compete with the third world. Why should Germans be surprised that companies want to do this to them. It is not about nations, it is now about how corporations can destroy wage bases and workers benefits.
US Amazon does NOT have a Union.....luckily the German state has a place for worker's organization.
I hope German workers stand firm.
You could not fake radio messages from the moon. The signals where UHF, line of sight. Anyone with the equipment to receive it also had to point those antennas....triangulate......
You have to get out of orbit...you need to get to the moon....you need to get into lunar orbit and then land....successfully. Read the history of the Ranger Program to see how much work this took the US, and they were crashing onto the moon, not trying to land a working Rover. Getting the insertions correct is not easy. China has done something difficult and laudable.
While I'm sure they had the full data from the US program, and the USSR program, making this happen is still a great achievement.
I have noticed how the US media is paying little attention to this......
My Town is unusual in that we have an equal spread of folks in each quintile. That is, we have a few legit plutocrats and a few folks "on scholarship" for school lunch, and everyone in between.
Unless you are the NSA or IRS (or both) income is a tricky thing to guess.
If the landing were a hoax, don't you think the Russians and others would have busted us years ago ? You can't fake a transmission from high orbit.
Morons. The same sort that burn witches....
