    No. This is such a terrible idea I cannot wrap my head around why any one thinks pasting a password is a vulnerability. If someone is on the system and can see the clip board, you …

    Repping Raleigh here. There is a decent startup scene and housing is very reasonable. $1200 for a 2 bed/ 2 bath apartment with garage that is about 10 minutes from my office and le…
