The most funny one was a professional and rather costly password checking tool.

Besides the usual other rules, it had a rule that the new pw must not be similar to the old one. For similarity, this thing checked each character in it’s place.

So you could have the old one:
“MyAssMy$1” and the new one:
“$1MyAssMy” and it was not similar at all :)

The ISS is in space.

You don’t say!

Don’t forget industrial heat

Why? Is it different from “all of mankind’s energy”?

sex in space?

Well, not exactly. There’s these bulky suits, you know, they get in the way.

Inside the ISS it might be a different story.

Try the ESC key.

Directly, as you phrased the question: No.

Indirectly: Yes. Because we would automatically stop burning fuels when we get all our energy from solar. That would decrease the temerature a tiny little bit.

But the temerature of the planet does not really depend on such actions. For example, the indirect effects of CO2 and Ozone in the atmosphere have much more powerful impacts - and still they can only change the temperature at the planet’s surface (that’s what our lives depend on). The whole of the planet is yet another thing.

Great answer! 😃

a manager who seems to be nice, but everyone is nice 'till they stop being such.

…at this point I wondered, spontaneously, if you have it in your work contract that the manager must be nice.

Regarding your specific question:

I can give a company a second chance. But never a manager where I have worked and quit. I have actually avoided applying, or canceled an application, at companies where I knew that a former manager was now.

learn how to unplug.

Very well said.

Did he also wear pants?

I mean, pants are dangerous now, do you understand?

How do you insert/eject the discs from a webui?

My opinion is that satire must hurt. Otherwise it may have no impact, then it is nothing else than cheap comedy. But it is possible that it hurts too much, so that some people cannot endure it. Society has a duty to protect the weak as well as the artists. It is a narrow line.

What a void attitude.

The Charlie Hebdo event has proven that the discussion is very neccessary, and that satire is not fully respected even in a modern western society.

My guess: NSA, Google, Apple, then some data selling jerks.

Money won’t be used anymore then.

They find something else, so that they can own you even better than with money.

For some time, science fiction thought that it’s body parts: They own your body, and if you have too much debt, somebody takes a part of you, instead of money.

I hope that biotechnology will advance enough, so that synthetic parts will become available before that happens.

I have used 3-4 different reddit accs, back in the days, when I was still there.

Sooner or later, I got some ban or other.

I simply used the next one and that was that.

When you are unable to do that, find out how they could identify you as the same natural person.

Some ideas:
The same app/browser? (without any privacy settings)
The same IP address?
The same E-mail?
The same way of swearing? 😉

If you did all of these wrong, then no wonder.

LOL. I have no idea.

the line between […] just being a creepy stalker?

Depends mainly on your own looks, and a little bit on the question if she’s already into you:

Are you closer to George Clooney or The Real Life Hunchback?

I have ADHD and this means for me that I cannot sit motionless. Every few seconds I move on my chair, change my posture etc.

That is all the excercise for my back. So far it has worked.

every company working on making self-driving cars has a strong incentive to constantly claim that results are “just around the corner”

That’s not what the German carmakers do.

We are laughing at American companies who do such bigmouth claims all the time, and call them liars, and worse.
