@SCdF - << However, can you explain to me why it's better than using a strong password? >> It's not necessarily better or not better, or more secure or less secure; it's a different approach. I usually hesitate to compare approaches because like religious arguments no one wins. I use your same approach - long, unique, hopefully impossible-to-break passwords stored in a password manager which in turn is protected by a good password. But the vast majority of users either won't have the savvy to set this up or more likely don't even know it's an option. << Where is the danger? >> The danger is in human behavior. That's the weak link in all these scenarios.

Jeff - "Stack Overflow has dozens to hundreds of plain vanilla uncompiled Linq to SQL queries on every page." Could you elaborate on this a bit? Curious to know (the db accesses required to construct a page) what's requiring double to triple-digit numbers of queries on a page? Thanks

Jeff it's possible you're only hearing about the totally unqualified applicants. The decent-or-better candidates don't make for interesting interview stories.
