How about moon dust that eats away at your equipment, sticks to everything, and can cause iron poisoning (and possibly a lung disease similar to silicosis)? “The dust was so abrasive that it actually wore through three layers of Kevlar-like

Rather than emailing the passwords, you might want to look at the way Django does transparent upgrades of passwords. It has a prefix for the hashing algorithm at the beginning, so it can check which algorithm is being used for each password

Acer, Samsung, LG, ZTE and HTC all make Windows Phone 7 models. That's most of the big Android licensees right there (Motorola being one of the big holdouts in both royalties and WP7 phones). Obviously they aren't so pissed that they won't

Have you thought about adding a candy "rewards" program? If someone starts a subscription from a referral maybe they and the referrer can each get a bonus candy package when they start? That would probably be much cheaper than trying to do

I know I'm being a bit pedantic here, but both bcrypt and SHA1 are cryptographic hash functions. So please, do use hashes for this, just realize that some hashes will be far more secure (like bcrypt) than others (like SHA1 or, FSM-forbid,

I'm puzzled by this cage match mentality: two enter, only one can leave. I think that for the indefinite future, we will see co-existence and mutual co-opting of technologies. A nice arms race, with occasional routs and victories in particu
