In the mean time I assume you've reduced your balances in accounts with them to 1 cent each and signed up for paper statements again.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Er .. no! The bank asked you to verify your identity by attending a branch in person. How is that unreasonable?
Are you suggesting that the bank should simply have taken your word for it that you weren't somebody who had obtained the password by nefarious means and was now attempting to lock out the true owner by changing it? And it was supposed to be not at all suspicious that you now lived 'too far away' to do the necessary?
Looks to me that you want security only when it's not inconvenient for you.

I just converted a subset of pages on a website to SPA. The pages typically load about 25 jqwidget javascript controls, and on my free EC2 instance, a page takes about 5 seconds to load.
After converting to SPA, loading only the page-specific HTML and Javascript, and the same Ajax query to populate the grid, the page loads in under a second. Can't even measure it.
Hot damn.
Oh, and article on the SPA code is coming out in November, as I refuse to use any of these bloated framework. 8 functions, 97 lines of Javascript (including } and blank lines).

Well all the nuts already roll to the left coast anyway, who'd notice the difference.
And it's still cheaper than keeping them in the funnyfarm for more than a few weeks each.

I'm just curious as to how SF realized there were a couple extra nut cases around. They should be put in charge of tracking terrorists!!

I use Windows Live Mail but I've seen this same feature on other mailhandles. When I get the dropdown menu on junk mail there are a number of choices including:
Add sender's domain to blocked senders list.
Add sender to blocked sender list.
Mark as junk.
Are any of these any better at blocking out spam that keeps slipping through?

I hear the logout option works best at reducing your junk-mail.

It will particularly well if the sender's domain is gmail.com, yahoo.com, veriszon.net, etc. ! ! !

I've not assumed a 'user' of any of my applications had common sense since I was (literally and in all seriousness!) asked where the Anykey was. Over the decades they've never ceased to disappointment me - I just have gotten better at outsmarting the less persistent ones.

The reason spam slips through is that it is constantly changing exactly the kind of things that these kinds of filters are picking up. So no, in the long run, nothing will ever work to eliminate all spam all the time. And, as others have pointed out you do need to be cautious about excluding too wide a range of mail lest you inadvertently cut off genuine messages.

Yea, I do have to glance through the list each time to make sure nothing important has slipped through but I am rather surprised how well these things work. I guess what I really wonder about is why are there 3 filters and what's the difference between them. For instance I kind got the impression that if I choose "Mark as Junk" any time a subject heading came up with the same words (as Dr. Oz Add 6 inches) it would throw it into the junk mail folder despite the sender's name or domain. I don't know if that's true, however. And then there's the ones loaded with all the special character junk in the subject line.

I don't know the ins and outs of the MS filter but if it's anything like Google's 'Mark As Junk' adds to the database of things that have been considered spam with a view to improving the filter for everyone. The best systems of this kind include the actual content of the email as well as the headings, searching for stock phrases or repeated themes, and will also consider whether the email is directly addressed to you, whether it mentions people on your contact list or is sent from them and so on.
The domain exclusions are much less sophisticated but occasionally useful if there are specific senders who are persistently evading the general filters. It is however a bit of a hammer to crack a nut so best used sparingly if at all.

So I'm out front and I'm digging a hole to bury an old boat at an angle so I can plant flowers in it and get it out of the yard as an eyesore, I live in the deep south and this sort of thing is common(the old boat in the yard thing). So as I'm digging and the neighbor walks up, and the boat is right next to the hole mind ya and asks me watcha doin?
I stopped shoveling, leaned on the handle and said I'm digging a grave step on down here and let's see if I got the measurements right.
He laughed and started helping me dig....we're almost done!
