    No, I have not. That does make *some* sense, though. I'd walk the customer through resetting the password to something random, then attaching that to the paperwork. That'd be much safer.

    My favorite part of the experience is the former used car salesmen.

    Proof? I've never seen it.

    I wouldn't be surprised if some users interpreted it as asking for their e-mail password. I'd expect more people to read the question that way than assuming it's asking for their Windows logon password.

    Yeah, it's true. He totally can run. But he can never come back, then!

    Do it! You can run, but you can't escape the long dick of Uncle Sam!

    Video is already down :(

    haha absolutely!

    Typically at far less their value.

    +1 for an answer to this. Or if you just don't want to upgrade to LTE. It sounds like we can keep our unlimited plans? Or will we lose it on the next renewal?

    haha this basically sums up my opinions on the state of wireless data

    The point of the quotes around "learn to code" was as a stand-in for this much longer phrase: "People who learn to code because they think it's a fad. They think it's like learning how to change their oil. Something that can be learned once, without any real background education, via a 15 minute tutorial. They then

    That's not what I was referring to. I'm referring to people who think they can "learn to code" in 15 minutes by reading some tutorial, then they step outside of their normal scope of work and write code, which is allowed by their bosses who know less than they do. Then when SHTF, real programmers have to come in and

    This is 100% true. What's worse is that people who "learn to code" typically aren't very good at it. If you're a programmer, then you know what I'm about to say: There's already way too much bad code out there. It's already overwhelming. We don't need more of it.

    Yup. I'm the first to make that argument. My point was in the double standard, in the hypocrisy, that supporters of the "free speech" argument seem to exhibit. You can't support that argument some of the time, otherwise the entire argument is invalid.

    Yup. I'm not arguing that. I'm simply pointing out that people need to pick a side and stick to it. You can't arbitrarily argue "free speech" in some cases, but not others.

    Yup. I commented earlier that it's valid if it affects his job performance.

    Right. You make a great distinction. He was walking the line, but in my opinion, he didn't cross it. If he had said something like "I let the black kids burn", then that's clearly admitting that his views impact his job, and thus the safety of others. He may even open himself up to criminal charges.

    That's fine. I get that argument. But then you have to apply that same line of thought when people are fired, demoted, etc. for comments that you agree with, but the body of authority didn't. Can't have it both ways.

    Eh. To be honest, I've conversed with lots of city emergency service employees (FDNY, NYPD, etc.), and most of them come out with the same views. They are placed in neighborhoods and situations that many people simply don't see. Some might call that racist, and some might say "I know what happens there" or "they're
