Aaahhheemmmm.... You are never supposed to start a sentence with the word 'and.'

It's grammar Nazis!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I know Foothill is right about starting the sentence with an "and". I don't like to admit it, but it slipped below my radar.
However, you are definitely wrong in claiming that the word nazi should be capitalized. It's a common noun, not a proper noun.
Had it been "the Nazi Party", yes. but not nazi. Saying "he's a nazi" is the same as saying "he's an accountant" - no capitalization.
But let's just for arguments sake say that you were right and that nazi SHOULD be capitalized (which it shouldn't) - if so, then "grammar" should also be capitalized as the two words are closely connected to each other in this case...

I remember that. Had something to do with Mordor and Uruk-Hai and RC helicopters

One does not simply downvote in Mordor.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

The whole name seems a bit suspect.. either it's someone pulling our collective legs, or his parents really didn't like him 
[Edit] I guess we're lucky his middle name starts with an 'R' and not a 'U'
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

This is reason number 12,675 why I host ALL my own services, especially critical services like email. I've been running Exchange servers since the early 1990's.
The real question here is why is anyone surprised? Put your stuff in the cloud. Go on, I dare you.

I killed my Yahoo account in late 2004 when I switched to Gmail. Turns out it was a very wise choice... so far.

Not only that, but once again, the details were stolen three elephanting years ago, and they didn't even notice until an unnamed law-enforcement agency gave them a copy of the data which was stolen! 
How appallingly bad do your systems have to be to let someone steal that much data, and you don't even notice it? Are their systems exclusively written by the dregs of QA?

I have a yahoo email that I use for my newsletters and junk email, as well as a gmail for the same stuff. The thing is, that I don't have any sensitive information in my emails, even in my main email; so I don't consider it a big deal. The last 4 digits in a credit card number isn't going to help anyone. I'm not worried.

It is not really about worrying.
"My front door lock doesn't work but there's nothing worth stealing in my house"
That just leaves me with a very unpleasant feeling.

Agreed. If someone breaks into my email, they'll find nothing but garbage.

|
|

I can't bring myself to care too much knowing that my throw-away spam account might have been breached.
That's all we're using Yahoo for, right?
