I've gotten stuff like that. Once when I was 8 or so, I had a dream that there was a room in our house that I never knew about before, reached through a long hallway, that had a lot of Legos and coins. I actually dreamed of that room more than once; the second time I had the dream, it was only one small room in a much larger underground fortress, and I was there on a school field trip. But anyway, I somehow came up with the idea that if I grabbed everything as fast as possible, I'd be able to keep it when I woke up. |

That is why there should be an option to disable HTML in a post. |

1585. Building a computer and having it break within a week. Happened to me.
1586. Sites that highlight search terms. It's distracting and if I want to find a word within a page, I use Control-F. |

I've actually played a SMB3 hack of similarly impossible difficulty. I remember one place where you had to swim horizontally along a fairly long, one tile high waterfall with hammers and such raining down on you. And this was only the beginning of 1-1. |

I hate hacks that are so hard that you have to use savestates every few pixels! Usually I only savestate at the start of each level in case of bugs, computer crashes, etc. Hell, some real NES games are that hard. Like Lone Ranger, I was never able to come close to beating that game. Your health bar drains fast, and you can go a very long way without being able to replenish it...the jumping physics are as bad as Castlevania's, but at least Castlevania let you start at the last door when you die. In Lone Ranger, you generally have to redo like the past 6 towns and 50 or more screens full of enemies. It's like playing Zelda 3 and only being able to save every third dungeon (only MUCH harder than Zelda 3). |

Yeah, Windows folder names tend to be way too long, I guess because they assume nobody will ever have to type them. I actually prefer Unix names: bin, dev, etc, and so on. Short and simple.
Like, why "Program Files"? Programs are obviously files, so why not just "Programs"? |

My school was too low-tech for filtering and blocking programs. The rules were enforced by the Librarians Walking Behind The Computer Users Method, and they caught everything. |

Yeah, I had a programming teacher who knew almost nothing about programming. She was knowledgeable with other areas of computers that she taught (IT, networks, and web design), but I was a better programmer than she was. She knew that, and if anyone asked for help with programming, she would have me help them instead.
One of my English teachers was really, obviously biased. The whole class would act up but she'd only ever yell at like 5 people. I wasn't one of them, so I could do something really bad like write on the wall and not get in trouble, but if one of her "least favourite students" did so much as breathe on her wrong, she'd yell at them. She was like that with the grading too. Sometimes she wouldn't notice that I skipped whole questions, but if one of the students she didn't like wasn't perfect, they'd lose points. |

1593. Programs that don't tell you where they save files.
1594. Actions that cannot be canceled. |

Yeah, and the names are never clear. Always stuff like hqwprtfx.exe and such, like they named their files the same way Acmlm picked his username.
Also what's with all the "My"s? I don't need you to differentiate "My Documents" from "Somebody Else's Documents", so why not just call it Documents? "My Computer" is even worse because it sounds like someone is referring to their own computer in itself rather than the list of drives on any Windows computer (possibly someone else's). |

Changed.
That explains why Spikeman was banned, I was wondering at first until I saw this. At least you were able to fix a hole. Did he do any damage? |

I was wondering if he actually hacked any accounts or did anything like close threads or ban people. Clearly he had the potential to with those passwords, right? |

Or a person that doesn't want to memorize a kajillion passwords.
I do write mine down, which is fine because I live alone and nobody would see them. They're always at least random letters if not random letters/numbers/symbols, and important passwords are always unique (E-mail, bank, etc.) My parents used to use an English word as their password, and then they wondered why they got hax0red. This was in like 1997 though. Once I saw a list of the passwords on the high school student accounts, and almost all of them were just like their first name, a single word, their username, or any of the above with an obvious number sequence (such as 123) appended. |

I never used the backquotes around table and column names in PHP. Does it really add security if the names are always hardcoded (never from variables)? |

Yeah, I know you should always quote things, and also use the appropriate functions like mysql_escape_string. I just didn't understand the `backquotes`. I learned SQL in high school (it was Oracle, not MYSQL) and they never even mentioned the existence of backquotes, so when I started using MYSQL I never used them. |

I think I remember you. Used to be Devin432, right? And some odd jokes about a football in The Forum That Shall Not Be Mentioned Even Though Everyone Knows About It Anyway. |

DxEdge hated my guts, I think we were on opposite sides of some faction split or other.
And Googie's name still makes me think of Google. |

I'd go back to 2005 and apply for a European university. |

Yep, that's the place, and be sure to hit the "Edit Profile" button at the bottom. Then try logging out and back in with your new password. |

Once, someone gave a price of like $2000 on something (a toy guitar, I believe) in Cliff Hangers. Prizes in Cliff Hangers are rarely above like $50.
1612. Realizing I didn't give the proper 30-day notice before leaving my apartment and having to fork over $850, negating several months' worth of savings on rent I'd get by moving. |
