   I've never seen MNX before. I noticed in their pricing and features that they offer "additional IPs at no extra cost". Has anyone had experience with this? Are there limits?

    So far as I can see, the Hangouts implementation still uses XMPP, and even sends some federated messages to other servers. It looks like there has been some kind of code added to specifically block the functionality for which code already

    If they've switched to Hangouts, you will no longer be able to reach them. Google users using the old non-plus-ified gchat, which is being phased out, will still work as before, but for people who get upgraded to Hangouts, they'll

    I'm hoping with the ousting of Vic Gundotra, Google will reenable XMPP federation with Hangouts... For those unaware, for years GTalk supported using XMPP/Jabber to talk to other servers. A handle of whateverwhatever@gmail.com cou

    They still return code that runs javascript in the main codecademy domain, so you could potentially modify the servers to return tainted data to steal cookies and whatnot.

    I'm interested to learn about their sandboxing. They allow a lot of user-submitted code to run server side. How do they sandbox this? What level of isolation do they use? - If language-runtime patches, then there are escapes like
