RE: Security flaw in OAuth and OpenID
everything i read so far is saying that people have tried alerting google and facebook but they aren't responding. Why don't people respond to glaring security holes?

@david.wiese @Bill-Kindle no its broccoli, I'm talking that gnarly ass school broccoli that wasn't exactly a plant, but it was floating in some sort of fluid that has no name nor description.
I will have to disagree, you ever smell some rank kale that has been microwaved? if you haven't don't it is really really bad. My desk is by the kitchen and i couldn't be at my desk the rest of the day due to that smell.

RE: New batteries for UPS - Factory or secondary manufacture
@technobabble depends on the age, but most of the time its cost effective to just replace the batteries and not the whole unit.

RE: New batteries for UPS - Factory or secondary manufacture
i always go to batteries plus and get the batteries. They are 3rd party and haven't had any issues with them.
edit: should say that while yes they are more expensive than let's say amazon. It's the fact that i can drive to the store get them and install them in 1 day. -
RE: Chopping off their own feet....
@scottalanmiller I like that there are no points here. I always felt like people just wrote up how-to's just to get the points, and those how-to's did not have any value to them. They were just doing it to get points to get to the next level. I always approached the points as one that shows how knowledgeable someone was, boy was I wrong about that!

RE: Chopping off their own feet....
since i am involved or at least try to be involved on both sites I want offer up my opinion for what its worth. I joined the SW community when i started my current job, why because we used the software. As i become more involved in the community I started seeing more and more public power struggles.I myself posted in the rant thread a few times about the mods not doing their jobs and letting blatant things fly when those things were not allowed prior to a certain CM's departure. @Bill-Kindle sent me a link to this site after we had a public disagreement (but in the private conversation things were hashed out) I still post on both sites and attempt to help out where I can. ML seems to be more IT Pro based and not for the basic user (which is good). Now still haven't reached the SP level on SW yet and don't really care to, I'm not in it for the points, I'm there to provide help where possible just like here. While I post more there, i am starting to here since most of the people i talk to are now using this instead.

RE: How did you get started in IT?
my turn for a long story: When I was growing up I had some challenges learning by reading, my parents realized this and my dad starting bring home his companies suitcase computer where i was playing math munchers and number crunchers. It was at that point where everyone started to see I loved computers. When my parents bought their fist packered bell computer, within days I had that thing apart and back together numerous times. I enjoyed trying to figure out how this machine worked (for a reference I am 31 now and this was back when I was 8 or so). At my young age I was the go to for computer questions in my family (still am to this day like we all are). Fast forward to college where I didn't have a good enough gpa to get into the business school (where the IT degrees where held) I went for a communications degree majoring in video production (yeah a lot of good that has done). Once I graduated and had some internships in local production houses I had the oh s&&t moment and thought how am i going to support a family on $12 an hour. At that time I made the decision to dive headfirst into IT, I started part time in a help desk tier 1 role and worked my way up to a full time field support agent at a tv/radio station. Now I am an IT tech working on everything from phone systems to virus eradication.
