Nope, tried with Chrome latest and Firefox latest. I wondered the same.

The idea's great, but I think the look of the site could do with a rework. It feels a little dark and cramped.

The most enjoyable part of Curiosity for me was it having the unintended side effect of getting me to learn how to automate my device through the MonkeyRunner framework... which has, in turn, introduced me to Python. So, all in all, the she

It seems that there is not much difference between the gossip magazines and the newspapers any more.

The script that generated the CSS is far more impressive than the image itself, would definitely like a look at that.

As a book nerd myself (and a lover of JS), I really enjoyed that.I think the criticism of Dickens was undeserved, even if it was a quote - but the Shakespeare iteration was spot on, loved it.

IMO A lot of that decline/increase is probably where Bing has bought integration into an existing product. I've seen it a lot lately, "powered by Bing" and the like, but I've not seen a single person actually type Bing into the address bar.

Even more performance-intensive than I thought - possibly why it's not been implemented. Assuming you know that a given password can be used 10 times and there's a database of 100,000 users in your scenario above, how would you work out who

I think that the main problem is always going to be the end users. I'd like to say that fingerprints or iris scans would solve the issue, but they have their own problems (e.g. having a backup password in case prints or scans aren't recogni

I would expect that you'd just compare the hash, effectively performing half of the log in process to check if the password's okay. I imagine it'd be pretty costly in terms of performance if every time you wanted to create a new user you ha

The problem with blocking common passwords is that quite often you just end up creating a new set of common passwords. I had to set up a management system a while back, and given the sensitivity of the data, it seemed prudent to block passw

Just checked and you're right... bad example, I should have checked before I posted. There are, however, plenty of larger companies that did just use a link in the footer (Amazon was one). The day before (IIRC) the deadline for having the l

It seems that the bigger companies (BBC, Amazon, etc.) have just gotten away with having a link to their cookies policy in the footer, while the smaller guys (e.g. the web dev place I work at) have been scared into placing often intrusive J
