@falstro what's the problem with those requirements?
07:44
@Federico apart from being incredibly stupid?
why stupid? because it misuses the "utf-8" definition as "any non-ascii utf-8"?
no, / is ascii, so is +.
it's any character which is not in the above mentioned sets, not "non utf8"
and besides, my 36 character long non-special character password is a lot strong than one that matches the rules, but I can't use it because it's not within the rules.
that's stupid.
(limiting strength of passwords)
wait, 1 thing at a time.
1. I thought you said you can use / and +, but simply they do not appear to be considered special (for some kind of clerical error, I guess)
2. the last line forbids the use of non-utf-8, that I guess is in place of "non-ascii utf-8", right?
3. "my 36 char password", you don't have only that, right? right? [and password managers are your friends]
@Federico yeah, read the line I wrote immediately before yours
@Federico no, I don't.
it's a generated random string
but it took forever to figure out why I couldn't use it (used special characters)
"special characters" is the worst term to put in a UI
07:55
@falstro here you say "non-special char"
@falstro and here "used special characters"
I don't follow you
"my 36 non-special-character password" was metaphorical.
as in, it's stronger than if you adhere to the rules and do the minimum of 10 characters
I'm a cleptomaniac, I take things literally

None of the answers to my question contain any information I couldn't have guessed myself :-(

Q: Do military pilots have a phrase like "aviate, navigate, communicate"?

Dan HulmeThe phrase "aviate, navigate, communicate" is commonplace among pilots, as a reminder to concentrate on flying the aircraft first, with navigation a secondary focus, and fitting in communication when it won't interfere with those other things. Military pilots have other things to distract them f...

What I wanted to know is "Is there an additional phrase with military-specific stuff in?" but they all answer the question "Do military pilots also say 'aviate, navigate, communicate'?"
08:16
dunno if maybe avoiding enemy fire comes before aviate...? :P
The resemblance between Trump and Berlusconi starts to be uncanny:

Q: Why is Trump winning, when I know so few people who admit to voting for him?

PearsonArtPhotoI am a well educated Republican, of generally conservative views. Pretty much every day I see and hear people talk about how poor of a candidate Donald Trump is. But he's winning primary after primary, and is likely to win tomorrow in my home state. Every other election I've known plenty of peopl...

I remember hearing the same questions when Berlusconi was elected again and again
"but noone is admitting to vote for him, how can he win the elections?"
or, as a friend of mine put it, we Italians are partially rejoicing from this situation facebook.com/francesco.lanza.9699/posts/871002742996948 (post is public, so you should be able to see it)

@Federico Quoting!
How many of you have gotten a really weird response for using the NATO/ICAO phonetic alphabet for spelling out stuff in non-aviation life?
@SMSvonderTann not I, it seems like engineers are completely used to it
also it helped me in the local pub quiz a few weeks ago, where there was a round where every answer had a call sign word in
I get a weird response for saying "wilco" when I'm playing online games sometimes
On this subject, I made our local ATC laugh last weekend by getting both my callsign and the runway number wrong when calling downwind

@SMSvonderTann I was forcing technicians to learn and use it long before I started flight training. It avoids people's really bad attempts to invent their own.
I will also tolerate people using the old US Army Able-Baker alphabet IF they know the whole thing
16:29
@voretaq7 Yes, I have heard so many of those and can't do anything but laugh at them.

@SMSvonderTann usually, it just takes a few tries
(I have a last name that is a royal pain to spell, despite being squarely of European origin)
