Yes, and he knew exactly where his bookmarks were except that they had moved them. So whose fault?

I just typed a fairly complex URL right on the first try, including the HTTP protocol (you have to explicitly type that or Chrome will think you're googling) 
Don't be bitching about HTTP to me, that's the responsibility of the same people who took away my Chrome sync functionality for safety reasons

If my previous position, we had to change passwords on various sites either monthly or every two months depending on the site. They were stored in a software vault you accessed by entering your user ID and password. In this day and age, there is no reason to have post-it notes with passwords, even for your own.
In my position before that one, they were stored in a password protected document; not great, but better than post-it notes.

Yeah, I don't really have post-it's, but the monthly password reset is annoying af

Sander Rossel wrote: No idea why they would disable that policy in the first place, something with not wanting passwords stored at Google
My first guess would be that they are not doing a good job of removing ex-employee credentials from the system (AD Accounts, whatever) upon termination or leave of employment, and they have had some problems where ex-employees have managed to login to certain systems/apps, especially dev and test sites.
I could be wrong of course, but I have seen similar things happen in the past for similar reasons.

In addition to my earlier post about changing passwords, previous position policy: if a team member leaves the department or company, all passwords they had access to must be changed within 7 days. No exceptions.

I think they do that just fine.
Our data is VERY sensitive (people's medical data) and pretty much everything is shut tight, even working from home is a temporary IP exception in the firewall (no idea why they don't just use VPN...).
Most of our systems aren't accessible at all from outside the company and most of our employees don't have accounts for the systems that are.
They even disabled our USB ports.
If they're so paranoia about everything I'd be very surprised if they didn't close accounts of ex-employees on time
I'll give them this though, it's better to be overly careful, even to the point where it makes no sense, than it is to be just a little too careless 
It's just that their carefulness is sometimes interfering with my ability to do my job properly and that's where I, very personally, draw the line

I had this the other day moving laptops and chrome did have an option make an xml thing and re import your bookmarks. Keeping the import file as back up might help

Yeah, it's what I was planning.
Just tried it and the XML I got starts with this:

Well it's the first time I've seen that, WTF is wrong with these people.
Do they pay for the extra seat or are the airlines forced to allow it for free?
Reduce stress and lower blood pressure - vallium would make more sense and a lot less mess.
What about people that need medical marijuana? At least that doesn't sh*t on the seat. Double standards.

Which books would you recommend to someone who is novice to programming and have interest to dive in to the world of software development. I am specifically asking for .NET Technologies.

Too bad. I would have recommended the Harry Potter books, but wizardry is more useful in the javascript/jquery area...

I like the Terry Pratchett "Disc World" books better. Harry Potter series is good but comes in fourth behind any of the Douglas Adams books (2nd), or William Gibson books (3).
"Newer" is not automatically better, just different.

Any of the Addison Wesley / Wrox / Microsoft Press C# books - they start simply, and build up to the complex stuff.
