viewtyjoe posted:This one actually kind of makes sense, except for the part where I have no loving clue what "SENTRY" is. The circles are characteristics of the gaming platform (volume, customization, and performance) and three platforms exist at each of the two intersections, not that I'd agree with them. So wild guess is SENTRY is some sort of small form factor PC thing that's going to be the new barebones wunderkind or whatever. It's a small form factor tower console, of course.  It's a not-yet-launched

Furia posted:I use a password manager and it annoys me when a website’s all like “oh no your password’s too long plz make it 15 characters at most” Whenever a site does this (or "your password has punctuation in it, please stop") I assume that they're storing the password in cleartext (and most of the time I'm proven right as soon as I ask for a password reset). Probably in an unauthenticated MySQL database connected directly to the internet, too.

Tunicate posted:Remember when microsoft announced that they were truncating everyone's skype password to 16 chatactrrs? Hey, at least they announced it. My brief experience with Games For Windows Live featured the discovery that the website lets you put in basically whatever you want when creating an account, but the in-game client silently truncates the password you enter, with no visual indication that this has happened. Roblo posted:Out of interest. How do you know that they're storing it in cleartext after a reset? Sounds like something that would be handy to know. Usually it's because I click "forgot password" and they email me my old password.

MrUnderbridge posted:Allegedly, "Keeps it from sticking together". The concern isn't it sticking together in the pot, it's that if you finish cooking the pasta significantly before the sauce and leave it sitting in the colander for several minutes while the sauce finishes, it'll weld together. Rinsing it mitigates this, but at a terrible price. The correct mitigation is to time your cooking so that, if you're not confident in being able to finish them at the same time, the sauce finishes first; then you can keep it warm on the stovetop while you cook the pasta.

Phosphine posted:I have always been aware that, obviously, some people must be buying new cars and therefore can pick colours, but everyone I have ever known have based their colour choice on "it is the colour the car had" because used cars don't come multiple choice. Even when I was looking at new cars (ca. 2014-2015), my experience was that my choices were white, black, grey, or "we have one in blue at the dealership two hours away from here".

The graph was perpetrated by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, but is probably best experienced via this paper, which is critiquing the absolutely garbage statistics used to justify building every-larger parking lots.

Ok, so it's plotting mass in stellar masses, grams, and GeV on Y, and radius in cm and megaparsecs on X, and then it looks like there's a time log-scale (time since the big bang?) inside the plot itself?
