ycitm··on Google Chrome security flaw offers unrestricted password access
> The fact you can view the passwords means they are stored in reversible form which means that the dark coders out there will be writing a Trojan to steal that password store as we speak.

Surely they have to be reversible, or the browser wouldn't be able to use them as passwords.

ycitm··on Mistaken Identifiers: Gene name errors introduced inadvertently using Excel
You're right, of course. The problem in the R&R case is not with Excel itself, but that it's being used with a lack of rigour.

If it were being done in C# or R I would expect unit tests and so on. I'm not saying that would make such a mistake impossible, but programmers have processes and tools for a reason.

In the OPs case the problem actually is with excel though.
