The arabs at least doesn't pretent, they've exchanged the jockeys for robots that takes care of the beating of their camel.

Great race, indeed. Watched it a few more times on youtube.
Anyhow, there are members on this site who don't find anything interesting.

Well, it's neither cricket nor soccer, so don't except the usual fan-masturbate-a-thon we usually get here for those sports.
The fact that it's an American event also contributes to the 'meh' reaction as well.

Countries other than the US have had horse races for millennia. Nothing special there.

I know that. The fact that this particular event is an American tradition is why it is viewed with boredom and disdain on CP.

... is going f***ing ridiculous.
I tried to open my google account today from a computer I had never been using before.
As a security check (You are not using this compute to access your account blabla..) I got asked to enter a f***ing phone number finishing with two given digits that was supposed to be in my personnal profile : never heard of that number. So could not do it.
Alternatively, they wanted to send me an SMS code on the same number. This was logically pointless as I do not know that phone number, and I did have my phone with me anyway.
So I had no way to access my account ! What is the f***ing point of having data in the cloud if you cannot access it from devices "you are not using usually" ? 
As a result : Back home, I was forced to modify my Google account password, which I have now to take over on all my android devices, redo all the f***ing sync settings. I haven't found any place where I could find or change that wrong phone number they were asking me
I am so done with that sh*t.

Go here[^] and click 'Phone Number'. It gives you instructions. I have verified them,

I once accessed one of my Facebook accounts via TOR browser. Facebook locked out my account. It said I accessed my account from a Denmark IP. Which is probably correct. The thing is it's Facebook! Not citibank.
My guess is Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Amazon are trying to be the super do login "authenticators".

A lot of people link their Facebook account to all sorts of other accounts, so if it gets compromised, they are all compromised. Admittedly, today no banks are stupid enough to allow that, but that's just a matter of time and change out of management who grew up trusting FB.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Now imagine having to go through that every couple of months for one of your relatives who keeps "losing" his password and wants you to reset all of his accounts across all of his devices...

If only it were that easy.
There's been situations where I've sent links to people with detailed step-by-step walkthroughs with screenshots, I've offered to people to show them some stuff and suggested to them to take notes as I walked through something, and had some of them tell me straight to my face, "I don't want you to show me how to fix it when it goes wrong, I just want you to keep it from happening again".
I can certainly walk away, but some of these people are those I see at every family reunion and that sort of thing. Some people simply refuse to learn.

There used to be an old saying, "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." With computers and most electronic devices and non tech type people, this just doesn't seem to hold up. You have to constantly feed them them. That is why IS departments exist.

Ridiculous, certainly! But let's remember that all this nonsense has come about from pressure on companies like Google and Facebook from paranoid users (and scaremongering 'security' professionals more than willing to make a fast buck). I'm disinclined to blame Google for the bunker mentality of its 'customers'.

That's an extremely old picture. The first time I saw it, it was on a computer made of bamboo and stone, and pterodactyls were circling a nearby active volcano.

Hover your cursor over the image.
You will discover that "Frando Calamba" is either...
- An extremely common name there, or
- An example of severe multiple personality disorder, or
- One User ID being shared by too many real humans
