Not really, no. Just stop the reset token from appearing in the client. Just send it by email like you're supposed to and that's it, vulnerability gone.

Couldn't those functions just be inlined by the compiler if they're simple regex-wrappers anyway? I do agree that it might be overkill to move regexes to their own functions just for readability's sake but I don't buy the performance argume

Well, it's not easy to say the least. There are essentially two big problems we have. One, anything telecom related tends to be much more expensive here than almost anywhere else in the world. For example the best home connection I can get

Whenever I read about power outages in the states and the kind of mayhem they cause I think about how different the situation here is -- Lebanon that is. We haven't had enough power to run the entire country ever since the end of the civil

He wasn't saying that they actually do that. He was saying that people frequently make these claims with only anecdotal evidence and therefore he's sceptical about him. Effectively, his entire post amounts to a [citation needed] :)

I was wondering the same thing. I live in a third world country and I've never seen a connection with no egress filtering.

Okay, so it's an unsophisticated attack, used for data gathering purposes directed at the police(not the military mind you). And it's obviously Iran. Really? I'm not saying it's not Iran, it might be for all I know. I'm just interested in

Well, from what I've seen from both HN and slashdot(which I read for a while) is that hackers tend to take an especially in keen interest in human rights-related issues(usually with a special focus on the the online stuff and privacy but no

I don't know about Vietnam, but in the Middle East(at least in Lebanon, Syria and Egypt which is where I've been in the past few years) 3G is usually way more expensive than DSL due to low data caps. I pay 10$/mo[1] and have a 100MB/mo cap

I did something similar. Though for me it was after college and before starting on a career. Spent a year in Syria(I'm Lebanese) doing youth-work, teaching, etc... It was definitely an extremely beneficial year for me. I would recommend it

Well, you'd be giving an advantage to people who perform better than others when under stress. But then, that's not necessarily a bad thing is it? As an aside, I've noticed that people respond to stress in extremely varying ways. I've seen

Well, I do that too, but I shouldn't have to. I also tend to get pressured into being in pictures. Some people have a tendency to get offended and/or being really persistent when someone doesn't want to be in a picture. I just hate being pu

Just one comment, from what I've noticed(haven't checked the code to make sure), the size of spawned bubbles is a random function biased by your current size. While I think that's a good idea in general I think they should be overall smalle

I makes some sense. If you're using SSL and someone is trying to snoop on your connection. If you visit a non-SSL site from an SSL site and the referrer gets sent then the snooper knows the URL of the page you were on last. Whereas if the

He didn't say that public transit fees should be raised to restrict usage, just the opposite, in fact. He said that public transport should be subsidized by car registration fees. This means cars get more expensive for rich people and poor

Those are mostly problems with Mac OSX(except the storage issue on the iPhone).

It used to be like that for me, until I met someone in real life who's a few years older than me (late twenties) and who is a self-proclaimed programmer and who acts like that.

What about "stealing" the pull-down notifications in iOS 5? That's clearly taken from android.

Even with games, if you use vector graphics and the aspect ratio is close-ish it can work pretty damn well. I tried out the phone version of Angry Birds on a Transformer at some point and if it weren't for the extra button on the bar allowi

With the slight correction that it's "ergo LoC should probably try to archive the web before it tries to archive twitter". But yeah, that's the gist of it. But so what? That doesn't mean it's an invalid argument. In fact, I'm inclined to ag

I've always found it weird how different engine sizes are in American cars as opposed to everything else. Unless you were going for a race car or something it's quite uncommon to have a 5.7L engine in anything but an American car.

Well, only the Lamborghini is a luxury car(unless you consider all cars a luxury but that would be a different discussion). Otherwise, I fully agree with your point. I like cars and had no clue what, exactly, the Pontiac Fiero or the Chevy

Stackoverflow sometimes annoy me in how aggressive some people can be at closing questions. So this is a question that's 3 years old, where Jeff Atwood himself weighed in. But somehow, just because it got a surge of popularity recently it w

Wait, what? The initial post and the GP are from different people. Also, the one you're replying to clearly states: "So this review is completely subjective". How do you go from that to 'your definition of objective is "agrees with what I t
