I tested this out and was able to login to Bank of America online with no problem.

You over estimate the competence of my bank. :P

Any the securities firm I use. :P

Logged in to every major financial site I have with lastpass, in IE10, on Windows 7 x64 and x86, in only a couple of seconds per site....

Lastpass and the institution are different things.

What are they so we all can avoid them.

And that's exactly why I won't upgrade. Banks are at best marginally competent. I told my wife once, "Watch this. It will take me a hour just to login & check my balance." I was right. Last week I spent over 3 hours getting another site to work. (That involved 3 computers with 2 running clients.) One of my banks forced you to stick with IE 6 for years.

Living Room / Internet Explorer 10 arrives on Windows 7
« Last post by Arizona Hot on March 01, 2013, 10:42 AM »
I installed and tried IE 10 last night and thought it was much quicker than IE 9 on this Win 7 machine. Anyone else going to try it(Win 7 only, of course). I downloaded it straight from MS, not from the article's link.

Tesco are now testing all their vegetarian burgers for traces of unicorn.

Am I the only one that immediately thought of this;D
You know that if a guy eats too much unicorn, it gives him a sex change. Just a friendly warning. If you want, I'll try to find some pictures of people this has happened to.

Whose cruel idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have a "S" in it?

@IainB: Do you think Alan Turingw would have been a good LISP programmer?

Spoiler
Turing's homosexuality resulted in a criminal prosecution in 1952, when homosexual acts were still illegal in the United Kingdom. He accepted treatment with female hormones (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison. Turing died in 1954, just over two weeks before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined that his death was suicide; his mother and some others believed his death was accidental. On 10 September 2009, following an Internet campaign, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for "the appalling way he was treated". As of May 2012, a private member's bill was before the House of Lords which would grant Turing a statutory pardon if enacted.[6]

Living Room / Re: Would a 41 megapixel camera get you to buy a Windows 8 phone?
« Last post by Arizona Hot on February 04, 2013, 09:51 AM »
41 megapixels is pure marketing BS. Sure it isn't supposed to read 4.1 ?

Can't remember where I read it but there was a technical article I read a while ago that argued the more pixels actually equals poorer pictures unless you increased the sensor size.

41 megapixels is correct, but the default is less to decrease noise and improve low-light sensitivity.
