    But what is being for a password? Does it exist in its own right, or is there no sense of independent existence that it can have? Perhaps it is just the play of many interacting processes that have lead to this thing that we denote as "password".

    What happens to forgotten passwords? Do they still have existence, even in a system that uses a one way hash? Maybe then your password is no more.

    CAPTCHA: craaazy - definitely!

    I'm guessing this is a "large fonts" bug.

    the BIOS one... is a WTF, but the five or six comments on it are worse. That doesn't look like a real text-mode font, so I'm betting the submitter simply wrote down what they saw on their screen and then retyped it using the closest font they could find in MSPaint and submitted that, as it's difficult to take a screenshot while you're looking at the RAID adapter's BIOS extension ROM output messages...

    and yet people are saying "omg handeled? spelling wtf" and "what font is that" and "wtf? drive(s)?". drive(s) is used because there is a very limited amount of space in the ROM for extra code and pretty string handling, so most people just parenthesize the plurals so you don't get messages like "1 logical drives handled by the BIOS". I've also seen this though:

    printf("%u logical drive%s handled by the BIOS", i, (i != 1) ? "s" : "");

    why do I even read the comments anymore? so many people completely miss the point and then people read that post and miss THEIR point and reply and.... argh. Oh well, I'll join the bandwagon then.
