I'd be more worried if you could find salt that was an organism

The restaurant is not owned by Disney, but it is on Disney property at Disney Springs, Orlando. I would imagine that they are going after a much bigger sum from the restaurant itself

I'm not saying I'm in IT, but I'm tired and read the question and thought, "Why are they asking about printers?"

My perspective is that people in the USA are more likely to THREATEN to sue, which a lot of the time is an empty threat, and a lot harder to quantify

I don't know if they still do, but Facebook used to count viewing a web page with a Facebook "like" button as being an active user

Twitter has always been "small" but popular with people who work in the media, so you hear it mentioned on the same level as Facebook by those people, even though it's never been any where near the same size

If it's to stop cheaters, they could just block the "unauthorised" controllers from online play, no need to punish offline players

No, no, this is why I walk around naked. If they're going to be spying on me, I want to make them suffer

They might exist, but they aren't widely known about like they are in the USA

 

Basic cyber security says that passwords should be encrypted and hashed, so that even the company storing them doesn't know what the password is. (When you log in, the site performs the same encrypting and hashing steps and compares the results) Otherwise if they are hacked, the attackers get access to all the passwords.

I've noticed a few companies ask for specific characters of my password to prove who I am (eg enter the 2nd and 9th character)

Is there any secure way that this could be happening? Or are the companies storing my password in plain text?
