RE: Authorization WTF
assuming UserName is a field or simple property (can't be a method - no ()
Well... .NET allows for all kinds of calls in a getter, so for all we know it's calling a slew of databases. In my opinion, this is both a nice feature, and a relatively big gun to shoot oneself in the foot with.

...and readable.

Readable ??!? particularly the missing break; makes it very unreadable indeed.
How about this?
if (asys->clip_oversamples == 1)
{
if (temp > 255)
*buf++ = 255;
else if (temp < 0)
*buf++ = 0;
else
*buf++ = temp;
}
else if (asys->clip_oversamples == 0)
{
*buf++ = temp;
}I know - it duplicates one line of code, but is otherwise at least ten times as readable.

RE: Can a password identify you?
As for the reasoning, "A password is unsecure because a hacker only needs to discover a random string", it's fatally flawed. What's the alternative? If a login requires a username and password, the hacker must now guess two random strings.
The thing you seem to be forgetting is the possible existance of many users on the same system. The hacker must not guess two random strings. He must guess a userid and the corresponding password. On a system with no userid, you'd just guess random passwords, until you hit someones account. Granted, if you were the kind of hacker going for a specific person, this would take the same time, but if you just want in, start guessing "1234", "qwerty", "kitty", and you'll be in in no time.
(some other guy:)
talk about insecure considering all the passwords are taped up on a wall in the cafeteria
Thats because the lock isn't there to keep you out. If you can get to the cafeteria, you are supposed to be able to enter. Obviously :P
