The password should not be sent (be known to me as an employee), but stored as a hash. If need be, one could reset it.
From, say, an email account.

You are right. I should've said that more clearly. I meant "send me a temporary generated one". Then I can forget about that one and get a new one next time.

Have you seen this dashlane[^] thing? It is an interesting concept for storing retrieving passwords.
I just saw the commercial over the weekend and I had been thinking about just such an application.

Interesting. No, I hadn't heard of them. Looks at first glance to be yet another LastPass[^], 1Password[^], etc. clone, but it does seem to to a bit more than them. Thanks.

The closer we get to the public launch of Windows 9 preview, the more speculation emerges on the changes that Microsoft could make to its operating system. "So you can keep me guessing, come what may"

It doesn’t make sense for most companies to build their own software in-house when pre-fabricated solutions are available. "Everybody's got an opinion and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks."
OK, that quote was slightly modified from the original, just for little sister.

Well, Eminem, in his song said:
Quote: F***in' Internet bloggers: "I sit in front of my computer all day and comment on
Everything, I'm an expert on everything, everything sucks, play the next song"
You're right, everyone today thinks they can start a new Microsoft and create a new Windows and .NET Framework. I, can code, can develop softwares, but I won't, since I can get a more efficient code using an already developed Framewodk and library.
Business companies might be correct, while getting their software built for themself and secure, but most of the softwares are built keeping the security in mind so, using them and editing them out to fit their needs would be a better bid. I totally agree, people are pessimists right now!

It's been almost two years since Microsoft made Windows 8 available for the world, but now, two major updates on and we’ve still not seen any hint of the company bringing its Office suite into the future. Because people really want to select text with their fingers?
Actually, looking at some people's screens, it looks like they're already doing that.

Who wants to select text with their fingers? Atleast I don't! 
Furthermore, to make your opinion clear I would like to add, "Everyone likes to grab angry bird and throw it at the pigs with their finger".
This would be a good way of expressing your feelings to touch the machine process. Also, Microsoft has moved on to a much costly version of Office, the 360. Where you don't buy the Office Suite, who subscribe. You have to pay again after every month, pretty good thing for business but bad for the customers.

Yeah, such touch screens have existed since decades... though they were not at all touch-sensitive.

"Select text" could be condensed.

Today many IT executives choose open source over proprietary software for everything from cloud computing to facilitating teamwork among remote workers. It's not a cancer?

These were myths maybe 5 years ago...Why write about it today?

Because Chris is determined that Kent publish 10 articles/day in the insider even if there aren't that many non-drek articles published in the last 24 hours.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's the thing that just drives me nuts about news. OK, so 90% of people surveyed think that the moon is made of cheese. Does that make them right? Of course not!
I couldn't care LESS what "many IT executives choose." I will choose what is appropriate for my budget and my goals.

Time and again, I run into developers who's feeling towards SQL ranges from slight discomfort to shear terror. It's all that SELECTing and JOINing: it reminds us of being picked last for team sports at school

I am afraid of it because it's a three letter acronym and I have a fear of all TLAs. 
You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think.

Never knew developers are afraid of SQL - sounds me all wrong. In my schedule at college SQL was there every week...

To me the author of this text simply doesn't understand why people don't like SQL.
He even talks about ORMs, but he missed the point entirely. Many developers don't have a problem with SQL. They don't have a problem with the programming language either. Their problem is the mismatch between SQL and the language they need to use and the amount of duplicated code.
Without an ORM, the developer is going to write the SQL, then either use a DataTable (pretty bad) or a DataReader. If the developer uses a data-reader to populate an object (I worked in many places that do this), the developer needs to write the sql + write the code that reads every database field to populate an object. Also, any error when writing the field names will only be found while executing the code. In this sense, it is natural to avoid writing one of them if you can.
And honestly, joins are stupid too. Most joins are based on foreign key fields, and there's only one possible join from one table to the other, yet developers must repeat all the fields in the "ON" clause. It would be much nicer if SQL allowed us to say "INNER JOIN otherTable" without having to specify the joining fields all the time, reserving it for exceptional cases.
