I've survived three weeks without food. But those MREs really do a number on your system.

Bet you didn't shit for weeks.  And when you did, it had the atomic weight of strontium.

I went through a weird phase during my ROTC days where I really liked some of the MRE's-- I'd eat them even when not in the field.  Started to sour on them towards the end of my senior year, though.  Don't think I'd be able to go near them these days.

I had two ROTC roommates in college, and when I burned up my food allowance on my card, ate their MREs through the last week and finals.  I'll never do it again, short of a zombiepocalypse.

Trying to remember the ones I liked.  I think maybe spaghetti, omelette, chicken a la king, and chicken & rice.  The ham slice always made me gag.  Used to love the freeze-dried fruit.  Wish you could find that more places, actually.  To stay awake I used to dump the instant coffee on the back of my tongue & wash it down with water.  And for some reason I always used to hoard those little bottles of Tabasco sauce.

I never had a problem with constipation from MREs in the field-- only when there was less physical activity or sometimes when I was eating them at home.

That woman who tried out for the NFL failed.

Video is embarrassing.

She had never kicked in an actual football game before.  What possibly could've gone wrong?

I don't see any other way to compare passwords for similarity without having them unencrypted (especially against a next-to-last password, which wouldn't even be entered on a "new password" screen).  You can check to see if the passwords are exactly the same, just by storing all of the encrypted ones. 

However, I just don't see how you can check if the passwords are almost the same without needing them to be unencrypted.  If encryption system made similar unencrypted passwords also look similar when encrypted, then it's a very crappy encryption system, because someone trying to guess it will know how close he's getting to the right password.

It could be that they aren't using a proper one-way encryption, and they are unencrypting the stored value to do the compare.  Which effectively means it isn't usefully encrypted, but it would look like it was.

Alternatively the password change form itself could require entering the old password, allowing it to compare right at the moment without storing the value.

Don't do that.
