Maybe I'm just a terrible programmer, but I think the author may be a little over emphasizing the seriousness of the bug. To me, this is one of those throw away issues that you keep in the back of your mind. Unless I'm coding something that

I don't like having to specify the task in the comment, simply because the risk of typos. It would be nicer if I could issue a command prior to committing that would let me flag the tasks complete, then it automatically adds it to the comme

Summary: 1) People dont like remembering long complex passwords so they end up using short easily brute force-able passwords. 2) So, break up a complex password giving the user something short and easy to remember and store the remaining co

The training is not meant to be patronizing, it's meant to insure that your users can use the feature properly. Also, there is to levels of user here--the admin user (who is in control of the feature) and the agent users (the agents who use

I wonder if there is room for a product that grows with you? What if there were a product that is exposed to you first in the simplest form. It's clean, elegant and simple. Easy and not intimidating to use. As you use the product, your need

Interestingly, I've seen this video--3 years ago and yet this technology has yet to gain any significant traction. Sorry, but this is not the "near" future of computing. The primary reason being that "gesture" based interaction is too compl

PHP needs a champion, a Douglas Crockford and book entitled "PHP: The good parts". PHP faces a lot of similar discrimination that JavaScript did for the longest time. Sure, there are still criticisms for JavaScript but for the most part peo

Could someone detail the process of "sharing a masked password", or at least how it would theoretically be implemented as a feature? I'm not quite sure I get the scenario. Is the masked password to access passpack user account? Or is it to

Realize, silence is interpreted as consent. If you wait until the hardware has been produced and implemented into the product before voicing concern--then it's already too late.

Like reverse engineering anything else, it boils down to observation. Find cool people. Observe cool people. Discover patterns. Then, it's simply a matter of implementing those patterns. You'll discover in the case of "cool

This is why I'm absolutely terrible at security considerations. When I look at webGL, I think what's the problem? So what if you have direct access to the GPU? My naive view of the graphic card is: shader instructions -> VIDEO CARD -&#6

If you're lucky enough to be able to sit in a class taking notes and basically "get" the course material, when it comes to studying the necessary formulas, there's a quick and easy study tactic that requires about a single hour prior to tes

Does any one know if this technology, or other technology like skin grafts can be applied post scaring? IE, is it possible to remove severely scarred skin (by cutting it off) and then use skin grafts to replace it? Just wondering if these t

Hey good call on the padlock issue I hadn't even thought of that. However, I don't it should be visible only when switching tabs. I think instead it should be added to the tab itself that way it's always visible. However, that means present

I hadn't considered the case of updating whois information. However, to resolve that issue I'd simply provide a mechanism where you could flag your account as pending an authorized whois update. Then, when the whois is updated, google would

I was simply supplying what a solution was--which has nothing to do with Google's likelihood to implement it.

While it may add an extra step on their end process wise, it seems like the obvious solution to this matter is to simply enact a policy such that if domain ownership changes hand the associated accounts are reset unless a signed transfer of

I wasn't suggesting that it was the issue. I was pointing out their QnA section uses the phrase "truly random" to explain why that specific set wasn't valid. Which semantically, "truly random" disqualifies all of their previous sets and not

While I would never hope for or wish unhappiness on some one, I'm afraid the next punchline to this joke is an update in the future in which the thanks line is gone (presumably for his ex-wife).

This is not the case, because in the constructor person is being set to the argument. If the argument is not supplied (undefined), calling the instantiated object's gender property will result in undefined. [tested and confirmed]

Under the section "The Property (object attribute)" the code segment has two curious lines. I expect the first cancels out the latter, making the latter useless. // in Person function this.gender = gender; // outer scope (g

While the policy change does fundamentally allow the company to determine what content to keep and to remove I'm not sure how that provides you with a valid concern about opting in your data for the transfer. IE, if you don't opt in you're

A question of naivety--why bother with checking by "casting out 9's". Isn't it simpler to simply redo the calculation and check if you get the same result? If you're concerned that you multiplied wrong isn't it just as likely you'll perform

I would argue you can have a more honest discussion in the shoes of a bystander than in the shoes of the author.
