    Buying a new bicycle: can I bargain?

    Websites that store plain text passwords

    The "forgot your password" page for a local online ticket vendor sends users their password in plain text. I just tested by making an account with a throwaway e-mail address.

    Going to spouse's work Xmas Party

    Mine is during the day for exactly one hour, and then I'm sure most people stay an extra hour to get their work done. My last job had a catered dinner with open bar and then drinks on the boss at the local pub afterward. It was awesome.
