Hi Bruce,

I'm pleased that this has gone your way.

All the best,

I haven't seen zxcvbn mentioned before, a similar look at password strength from 3 years ago.

Personally I like the output of http://www.kurtm.net/wpa-pskge... for passwords:

A "Swiss watch" means that it follows the 'Ordinance regulating the use of the name "Swiss" on watches', which also includes quartz watches.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

It might be that in your locale it is commonly taken to mean a purely mechanical watch, but that isn't the same the whole world over.

I believe that "initialism" is the correct word.

Baffled that this is modded as "Funny".

On the "single source of truth" point, I don't think this is incompatible with distributed version control. Just make it your policy that a given repository is the canonical source.

If their existing SCM application is working for them, and they're happy with it, then it's perfectly fine.

Agreed.

I'm not arguing grammar, but this may be of interest.

Are you using some magic shell which understands the syntax of every executable command line in the system? I want me one of those.

No magic shell, just bash. I knows what you tell it. Lots of distros take care to provide this sort of support, I couldn't comment on arch. Perhaps you're missing some bash-completion package? See e.g. https://github.com/RoadRunnr/s...

I use mine to create raspian packages for some software I make, so others can use it more easily. Boring, but much easier than cross compiling!

Not to argue with your main point, but 15 years ago USB 1.1 had only just been released. USB 1.0 was pretty rare. I doubt Windows 98 had USB working without problems either.

The "one beam going through a doughnut beam" technique is well known through STED microscopy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STED_microscopy

STED is a superresolution technique for imaging when using fluorophores.

This is a very nice idea using the technique in a different way for a different application.

Pff, kids these days.

KDE supports virtual desktops (in the "workspace behaviour" settings but definitely virtual desktops) and you can resize the toolbar. Screen lock - I don't know. I'd guess at Display and Monitor settings->Screen saver then "Require password after".

I agree. I used to do most of my home development on a headless 600MHz VIA C3. It broke at the start of December so I'm on a 1.6GHz dual core Atom instead now, it's zippy! :)
