    password redaction uses fixed width font, so we can make a guess at how many characters it is and greatly reduce the key space.

    Wait, what's wrong with the VISA one? Unless, of course, the black bars where in the original email.
    That would have made it better (FSVO better). The problem is that the password was sent in the clear in email.
    Sending paswerd is standerd practise in Hyderabad. How else is usar to get paswerd?

    Not that I ever was a fan of Boogie, C#, Mat Westforest or Fritz (hell, any of the registered users to be honest), but I have to say this site is rapidly deteriorating as they continually get sucked into new flamewars with trolls who aren't even remotely on topic...

    Hell, Nagesh is starting to sound intelligent by comparison...

    We've had off-topic flamewars started by trolls here for as long as I can remember. The problem is that today's trolls lack sophistication and creativity.

    The comments threads would be dull, short and uninteresting if we stayed strictly on topic (especially for Representative Line and CodeSOD).

    As far as I'm concerned, this particular new troll is a self-aggrandizing attention-seeking whore who is going after the easy targets in a very graceless manner.

    You mean people post comments here for the fans?

    Indeed, for extremely-flexible definitions of "sucked into", "new", and "flamewars".

    In todays day and age, if the fee displays as $$.$$, it's probably $99.99.

    I didn't even notice bla bla bla.

    That means you're stupid and inattentive. Nothing more.

    So when you say "nothing more", are you saying that it means nothing more than I'm stupid and attentive? Or that I'm nothing more than stupid and inattentive?

    Just trying to figure out how to gauge the insult here.

    For what it's worth, the new thread seems to have much better trolls.

    Even better: the email was a password-change notification.

    receives email with plain-text password "Damn, they sent me an email with my password in plaintext. Guess I better change it." receives email with new plain-text password "Goddammit."

    I'm missing something on the Office one. It looks like he has 32-bit Access installed, but 64-bit versions of other Office apps, and was trying to install one big Office suite over everything without uninstalling the others first. Doesn't seem like a WTF.
    Yeah, what he's doing sounds like an unusual edge case. Besides, you'd only expect major software vendors to bother with things like making installers compatible with various different configurations of their own previous products.

    Oh wait...

    Also, you'd expect ANY software vendor would bother to actually include the name of the POS being installed (Project 2011, in this case, wasn't it?) in the actual message... instead of the copy-pasted "Office 2010". Oh well...

    Reading comprehension - try it. Looking at the errors, it's clear that the user installed Project 2010 (which is part of Office BTW) 64bit and Access 32bit, likely from single product installers. He's now trying to install the Office Suite, which doesn't like having part 32bit and part 64bit apparently.

    For those of you that say for e-mail from credit card company thing to be password stored in db as plain text, it isn't. I've worked for them for long 4 years and I can assure you that it is sent directly from submission form. Then password is hashed via SHA256 and stored in db.

    So it is basically it (at the time I've worked for them, I got better offer two years ago, they used PHP. Maybe they changed it, maybe not):

    mail("Your recently changed your password. The password is: " . $password); //I know it don't work, this is just to convey idea how it is working;
$passwordhash = hashSHA256($password . $salt) //salt is generated per-user
updateUser($username,$passwordhash, $userid)
