One of the banks I use limits you to 8 digits, no special characters or spaces.

It's.... so wrong.

Because they like insecure passwords?

When murdering one person is the goal of an entire war, you've lost already.

Wasn't that basically WWII with Hitler?

So many years ago, I remember and understand how there were limitations on passwords. They couldn't be longer than a certain character length, couldn't have certain characters, etc. Well, the year is now 2015 and I can't understand why some companies choose to use legacy systems or methods, because I can see no other reason for why I just got these while trying to sign up for a TWC account (Verizon FiOS isn't available at my new place... :'()

I use LastPass to randomly generate almost all my passwords, and was just shocked by this...am I alone in thinking this is just ludicrous?

So I was talking to @Minion-Queen and telling her how I'm pretty sure that @scottalanmiller and myself are aliens and just don't realize it. That's when I thought of this video (and such a great song too) and realized this is what happened! (you can watch without audio and still understand, but if you want to jam out, I won't blame you)

Starbucks Hacked - Maybe Not Such a Great Economic Indicator?
http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2010/06/30/using-starbucks-dunkin-donuts-to-track-economy/

Actually I might say the exact opposite. When businesses that rely on discretionary funds are doing will, that probably means the economy is doing well too because people have extra discretionary funds to spend.

That's exactly what I said. The point was if they were hacked, the numbers are possibly skewed.

Probably not enough to make a real difference in the overall picture though.

That's a fair statement. Even if they stole millions, we're talking about billions of dollars for Starbucks, so you're probably right.

I thought that they stole from customers, not Starbucks?

No they did. But my point is that if they steal from customers, that's going to hurt Starbucks too, because people report the fraud, and then stop going there because they don't trust it, tell others the same, etc.

Trying to figure out how to do unattended SAP B1 installations... it doesn't look like that is going to be an option. Looks like I will be going to every PC in the near future.

How to do what?

Deploy remotely I would guess.

Right, I got that part. I just have no idea was "SAP B1" means.

Hi Helmut,

1. From B1 installation kit, run Autorun.exe file. If you are using Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, right click the Autorun.exe file and choose Run as Administrator.

2. First it checks whether SQL SERVER is installed or not. If installed, it will show you the list to install Server, Client & Integration component.

3. If SQL SERVER is not installed then before installing B1 Server Components, it will show you the SQL SERVER installation window which is a silent process which installs the SQL SERVER components and applies the default values.

4. If Microsoft .NET framework is not installed, then it will also be installed during the silent installation of SQL SERVER.

5. If you used the B1 Silent installation for SQL SERVER, then the default User Id and Password are 'sa' and 'SAPB1Admin'

6. B1 client application should be installed on every workstation manually.

7. As part of client installation, B1 client agent is installed by default which saves the configuration parameters provided by the user during client installation for the silent update of B1 client in future.

8. If you want to install or upgrade B1 Client in silent mode, use the following command line parameters:

setup.exe /S /z"c:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One Client*127.0.0.1:30000"

where /S = silent mode

I hope this helps you.

Thank you,

Hari

Yep found that earlier, trying it now. No unfortunately, they don't have an MSI, I kind of wish this product had a web client like most modern software is going to...

That would make sense.

Slavery was abolished over 100 years ago in the US, except for two things, joining the military and farming. My father always said farming, especially a dairy farm, is basically legal slavery. And when you join the military, you are not a person, but property of the government to be used as they see fit.

The important thing about the military is that it is voluntary, unlike traditional slavery.

Yeah, I know. More like indentured servitude than slavery.
