Well... Angular Material is a multi-person project that is (seemingly) backed by Google, but they are abandoning 1.x release (1.0 was just released last October) to make the 2.x release Angular 2.x-only even though Angular 2.x isn't re

To be fair, Google's ad dept. wants you to put everything about your digital life into their services, yet nowhere do they warn you about backing your stuff up with the same gusto that they put into getting you to use the service in

Technically the original movie wasn't the first to use the "Ghostbusters" name, and there were some legal issues around that. This is why there was a "Ghostbusters" cartoon that was not tied to the movie franchise

I think that parent is classifying a "true" scam as one where the scammer knows that they are scamming and just doesn't care. 419 scammers take money away from people and have no intention to ever "make things right.&quo

It's likely that eBay's internal infrastructure has compensated for this, but it also seems like a potentially overlooked aspect of their system. Even if there are no server logs per se (unlikely), they might be sending request lo

Or, you know, someone obtaining a PhD breaks the "dumb jock" mould without necessarily being more or less intelligent whomever it is that you are referring to.

As others are saying, using a GET request embeds that password in the URL, which means that server logs on eBay's side will have your password in them. Server logs aren't always the most protected thing in terms of locking down sy

It's hard to argue that a competitive salary for work done is "payment" for not doing something later on. If they are paying an above average salary for the job, it might be arguable.
