wow, it stuns me how people can write so much text for something so trivial. what's your point? "i don't really care that the stackoverflow guys don't care because it doesn't really matter" "i'll just post it here knowing that it won't help the average joe either, because he will never read or understand what i wrote" who's the target audience for that post? if you're just explaining cookie theft ssl and openid to unknown audience by the example of stackoverflow. by all means write it in the first paragraph. have some respect man

A little harsh. I think it's a good reminder for all of those new products and services being developed as we speak who can make this a priority now instead of having to layer it on later. Would that fit your definition of a "call to action?" I'm working on a side project now which uses a similar approach for security (delegate it). While I had already planned on making sure the app would be available over SSL, this was a good reminder of why. The beautiful thing about the Internet and, indeed, free choice is that you could have stopped reading this article and moved on at any time.

  but it's not. the way i see it, op seems to have a rather big audience. but it rather reads like a highschool it essay. see if he had been in any way related to stackoverflow the message would've been ok, but too long. "A little harsh. I think it's a good reminder for all of those new products and services being developed as we speak who can make this a priority now instead of having to layer it on later." i hope you see the irony. you're right with what you say. but it would be even better of a place if people would actually try to create something of value, both positive or negative. but this is somewhere in between. something with more value and much more precise is the stackoverflow link someone posted in this thread http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/69171/why-doesnt-the-stack-overflow-team-fix-the-firesheep-style-cookie-theft http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/69171/why-doesnt-the...
