Is “Never tell your password to anyone” message in chat really necessary? That old lady was not all that dumb. She gave her PIN to you, which you didn't ask for. The odds that someone you pick to give your PIN to will grab your card and rob your account are much lower than that someone who asks for the PIN will do the same. |

Is “Never tell your password to anyone” message in chat really necessary? The people that fall victim to social engineering already "know" they are not supposed to give that information to anyone. They are duped into believing that there is an exception. So the text really has to be a paragraph clearly explaining that under no circumstances will any legitimate agent ever ask for their secret information, and that anyone who does so should be assumed to be a criminal. |

Synonym for 'GUI' for non-technical people? This is the best answer. In particular, the GUI of a non-windowed embedded system is its "screens". If it's a windowed interface, we can call them windows: the program's collection of windows constitute its user interface. |

Are age verification banners effective? Requirements for facebook accounts are extremely annoying to those of us who say no to facebook. |

Humor on the deathbed My feedback would be: write the damn code which figures out whether it ran out of memory or crashed for some other reason. |

How did electronic timers get the override button completely wrong? Calling it a rant is unkind. Though it isn't a question and doesn't belong here, Peter makes valid points. Good products do get wrecked with stupid user experience. Some consumer electronics has incredibly obtuse design with respect to user experience. Microwave ovens, entertainment system remote controls, you name it. Those designers should really be flogged with a wet noodle. |

Should offensive/vulgar usernames be banned? @zzzzBov But assassin isn't offensive, at least not universally so. For instance, SpamAssassin is a popular piece of software for blocking spam. |
