Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Passwords are fundamental to modern life, both at home and at work. In the workplace, the security of passwords is paramount, and ensuring that employees are taking matters seriously is an important part of safeguarding any business. Mental note: invest in yellow stickies

It really is a burden...
Article says: ...that even in a 250-employee company, there are an average of 53,250 passwords in use -- a near-impossible number to keep track of and to know the strength of. LastPass found that people have nearly 200 passwords to remember, so it's little wonder that password reuse is an issue.

Not when 90% of them are a company standard variation of: Test123!@# or Pa$$w0rd for dummy accounts.

We do things similar same, same, but different in our office. We're conservationists; so that means 1 piece of paper for passwords, neatly folded, and placed under the keep board for safe keeping.

As the researchers note, they were trying to synthesize a type of glowing nanomaterial when they found they had created something else—a type of invisible ink that could be made visible on demand, and then made invisible again. Just wait until Big Lemon Juice suppresses this research

A patent litigation factory was stopped from suing hundreds of small printers. Printing over a communication network? Yeah, no one did that before 1999.

No. VB.net is colored hater orange in the tag network at the bottom. Everywhere else it's share is too small to have made the cut.

Haters gonna hate.
I don't understand it either. C# is so powerful, yet a nice C-like syntax.
Probably PERL, PHP, and Python P-weirdos who are hatin'.

@Kent-Sharkey 's bosses. This has already been posted directly by a user. There's no reason to make yourself look sad and petty by insisting on linking to a 3rd party doing a crappy job of repackaging SO's content.

Rutgers engineers have created a new type of user authentication system that relies on transmitting vibrations through a surface and having the user touch the surface to generate a unique signature. ... ... I'll just leave this one here.
|

|

This[^]. And to answer the question; a fool and his money..
Doesn't even mention if the vibration is used as salt, or as something that is supposedly "unique" enough to identify a person (which sounds like a stretch).

Yet another solution looking for a problem to solve. And this doesn't seem to be a very good solution either.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Senators raised the stakes against some of America’s biggest tech companies on Wednesday, telling them they must take more comprehensive action against foreign actors misusing their platforms. "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
I've been avoiding this whole news path to keep things out of the political (and US-ian) realms, but this seems like it might affect our industry.

Normals think it must be easy and were all just being lax.
Countless normals come and go from our shop with exasperation saying "Can't we pass laws against this?" We always have to remind them what www is and if you don't like someone from <insert unsavory="" country="" of="" the="" day="" here=""> being as close to you as they are on the public network then your only recourse is to unplug from it.
The blank looks are precious.
Frankly I'd call their bluff.

Apparently our Senators have never watched one of the millions of television shows where any 12 year old hacker can "bounce his signal" across the globe to hide his identity.

Not that I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'd be interested to see the software that these Senators write. I'd tell them to make a law that puts a boolean value of ImABadPerson in the http header of every request. That we we can easily parse out if this person has bad intentions while on the web.
Wait maybe I read the headline wrong, perhaps they are angry over Olympic wins and that is supposed to be "Senators blast tech companies over Russian Medaling..."
If that's the case I wouldn't look to the tech community for athletes although I'm sure there are some decent ones.

With C# we have always tended towards major releases: bundle a lot of features up, and release less frequently. We even went so far as routinely omitting the traditional ".0" when we talked about C# 6.0! What's the point?
