https://www.westpac.com.au/ limits the password for online banking to exactly six characters - letters and numbers only - and is not case sensitive.

And you have to enter the password using the mouse and an on-screen keyboard so you can't copy/paste the password from a password manager.

As for "try and X," I do agree that it lacks proper punctuation. If you want to be taken seriously you need philosophical rantings to take on a more precise syntax:

Try, and develop a style.

Do or do not; there is no try.

It does not matter whether your try, it only matters whether you develop a style.

Yes, dentists are well paid - eventually - but they start earning late, a few years after a software dev, they have a much larger school debt to pay off, and just like a software dev, the early years don't pay so well.

... and they have to spend their working lives peering into people's mouths. I've never understood why anyone would choose that as a career (unless the money is really good).

I'm just basing the relative experience level by your UID ...

And on what did you base your assumption that UID correlates to writing experience? I would have expected that someone who has apparently been writing for longer than Slashdot has existed would have realised that other posters might also have been writing for longer than they have been registered at Slashdot.

I think Ford should invest in getting everyone a moving map GPS

... displays will be in all new cars starting in 2018, because backup cameras will be mandatory. So sticking in a GPS is a minimal cost. For many current cars, the backup camera and GPS are part of the same package. ....

That's all very well, but I don't usually have a problem navigating when I'm reversing - I want the GPS to work when I going forwards!

... Much like we have a national do-not-call registry, we need a national do-not-track registry that covers the individual and any information source they choose to register.

Wrong. We need a DO-call registry and a DO-track register. Privacy should be the default state. I should have to opt IN to being called by tele-marketers, spammed, tracked etc, not opt out.
