Has anyone realised that Code Project is storing passwords in plain text? I just went to reset my password and had it emailed to me :wtf: I had expected better than this, especially from a site that includes so many security-based articles in their newsletter. Let's hope this gets fixed soon...

Storing Passwords in Plain Text -
Dumb Old Program QuestionWindows 10 does user names differently to older operating systems e.g. Windows 7. My desktop is stored at C:\Users\benab\Desktop on Windows 10 and C:\Users\Ben\Desktop on Windows 7. If the programmer was using her user name to store it to the desktop (terrible programming practise!), then that would explain it ;P

OOPKSC - Out Of Place Keyboard ShortcutsYou know what drives me mad? When I try to use Ctrl+Y to redo and it deletes a line. Not only do I lose that line but I lose all the code that I've just undone with Ctrl+Z. :doh: I've changed the key mapping on my computer but I was helping a friend with his code the other day and managed to delete a load of it :~

Random Tips on Windows.In Windows 7 or later, if you shake a window from side to side, the other windows minimise. As a result, if you go to the performance tab in Task Manager and shake it around, CPU usage goes right up.

The worst way to name a variableLol, I wrote this a few years ago for a school project... I think I wrote it on Monday at lunchtime.
function randomNumber(){
var lunchtimeMondayReturn=0;
while(true){
var lunchtimeMonday=Math.random();
if(!((lunchtimeMonday+'').split('')[2]>3)){
lunchtimeMondayReturn=(lunchtimeMonday+'').split('')[2];
break;
}
}
return lunchtimeMondayReturn;
}
