Exactly, someone mod my original comment down, I simplified the context down too much.

Good call, I'm sure that's how it'd end up being.

At first glance, telling your users they must use a 9 in their password sounds dumb. "Hey, everyone is going to have at least one guessable character". But what in fact happens is most people who make a password on your site will not be using a reusable password from another site which is one of the biggest flaws in security right now. Your site's users are less likely to be hacked if another site's security goes down.

So while security "experts" think forcing you to use one uppercase letter and at least one !@#$%^&*() makes your password harder to guess, what it really does is make you write a password custom to the site. If sites were smart, they'd all have different password rules instead of conforming to this. This means one site would ask you for pick one "^&*(" and one "abcd", and another site would ask for you to pick one" #$%^" and one "wxyz"

Lets say you are selling a car. Then you find out thousands of people are showing themselves driving your car, and talking about how awesome it is. That is free advertising. Now swooping in and going,"Give me all the profits from those videos." is something a cartoon villain like Monty Burns would do.

I always thought a video game play through is owned by the game player. Just like a video game guide is owned by the author. Is Nintendo going to tell people they can't stream on Twitch.tv now?

Hello,

GPL states if you want to make a game using even a little bit of their source code or art, you need to redistribute your project as well. Sometimes releasing your own source code makes your game easy mode to be hacked. For this reason I wouldn't want to release my code initially at release, but I'd release maybe down the road a couple years.

What I want is a licensing system where I can use someone's code/art for free, but if I make a profit, cut them a share. Right now there are systems that make you pay up front, and if you have no money to begin with, you can't do that. But if people made a licensing system that said,"Pay us 1-50% of your revenue in royalty", I'd be all over that.

I think the real problem was you only needed one or two missiles, but SAMs Club always sold them in bulk.

With the proper inexpensive tracking tools, police could track down cell phones that have been stolen. This would lead them to people who probably have committed more than one crime as well.

That sounds reasonable. I'm not a hiring manager. Just a guy who never got a chance to do the computer programming he spent his entire life on, and got a top tier university education with. I do know there is something wrong with how most places do their hiring. They make you spend 20-30 minutes filling out a long internet form, and never get back to you. It feels like they make you jump through a bunch of hoops only to be tossed in a bin that no one looks at.

I think lots of us imagined the idea of a virtual rental service, where you rent out over the internet videos limited by the physical copies you have on your person. This would be similar to libraries or physical video rental services. The problem is you'd probably be sued. Netflix went about it the right way by doing a physical rental operation first.

I'd hire him simply on the fact that he said he's one of the best programmers. Within a week or two of work, you'd know if he was telling the truth or not. I'm one of the best programmers too, but I can't find employment in the better part of a decade. No one is even willing to take a chance on me.

I won't take all the jokes though. I'm sure there's more.
