Like normal, I logged into my bank account this morning, but not like normal, I mis-typed my password. But it let me in anyways. Howcome? They're NOT CASE-SENSITIVE.

Wells,
Fix this now.

So my DSL at home is only getting sync at 768k. I've called it in to AT&T but had issues which I was hoping to be able to resolve online...

...to learn Unix you learn to understand and apply a small set of key ideas and achieve expertise by expanding both the set of ideas and your ability to apply them - but you learn Windows by working with the functionality available in a specific release

Okay Exchange and Notes admins, do you want to know HOW our government lost their own emails?

By laughing in the face of basic best practices.

During the Clinton Administration, a lot of thought was put into constructing a solid mail system, with Lotus Notes, where everything is tracked, backed up, and archived appropriately.

Fast-forward into the current Bush Administration. Notes was starting to look a bit dated. If you are familiar with the system, it looks a bit like CompuServe, circa 1992. The desire for change was there, and they got it. But boy was it poorly executed.

So occasionally I will let my Firefox remember my passwords. It's okay, everyone does it.

Not too long ago, I was making changes to my router's config, and on the config page is the place where you define the http admin's username and password.

Well, Firefox plugged in something it had remembered in the past, and for the life of me I couldn't crack myself back in.

BUT, I do have SSH access. The default user on the current DD-WRT series is root, not whatever it likely set. So since I have root access, somehow I must be able to do something about reverting my password faux-pas..
