Your issue is caused by the fact that to create an AJAX client, you basically have to constantly poll the server from the client to get state updates.
No, you don't. I think I actually first heard about this when looking up information about the Facebook chat. I don't have the time to search for the source now, but Google seems to confirm it.
This takes me back to the IM client wars of the early 00s...
When did the IM wars end? Most people I know still use 2-3 distinct IM services, and now that anyone providing any kind of service feels that it is necessary to have IM as a part of it (e-mail services, social networks, and now, it seems, games), it's only getting worse. At least, with Google's support, XMPP is finally gaining some traction (even between non-geeks).
I can't think of any other way to determine that, so I think it is safe to assume that the passwords are stored in plain text
They can just ask you to enter your old password in addition to the new one, which can then easily be verified and compared to the new one you entered. Most sites ask for old password anyway, for security reasons.
If you spend some time parsing that sentence, it actually makes a good point. Games with a year in their name usually don't last much longer than until the new year's version is out.
So why do almost all replies of workarounds or help insist on using the CLI?
Because it's the easier way, not the only way.
Also, it's much easier to say "write these 3 commands" than "open menu, click preferences, then click that, then the third button from the top and then click yes if it asks you that", etc.
This is/. the closest anybody on this forum has come to being in a store with a girl was when they walked out with the latest blowup model they just bought.;)
I'm surprised that no one mentioned the anonymity and untraceability of cash as an obvious advantage. This is Slashdot, right? People tend to get paranoid about Google knowing their search queries here, but no one cares that their bank knows about every grocery they buy?
There are cryptological protocols that try to simulate cash electronically (so you get to keep your anonymity, but you don't have to carry a lot of paper with you, or, for that matter, you don't have to leave your home at all to make an electronic cash transaction). It's sad they are not very popular yet.
Just put the correct IP address in (C:/windows/system32)/etc/hosts, that should do the trick.
Of course I don't expect that most people know this, but I was just surprised they went into such great lengths to block any outbound DNS requests and completely ignored the fact that anyone who has enough clue to know how to change their DNS servers probably knows they can bypass DNS if they wanted.
That doesn't seem like a very mandatory way of censorship. Not being able to translate a site's domain name to its IP address has nothing to do with not being able to access the site.
You can also download the sources and run it on your own server if you don't trust them.
Another interesting feature for paranoid people is that you can set an arbitrary number of "one-time passwords", which you can then use to login to clipperz from a public terminal. If there is any kind of keylogger installed, the attacker only gets a password that has been invalidated right after you used it.
Clipperz rocks! I use it for all my passwords.
There is, however, another nice solution that requires no storage of anything (encrypted or not) and you also need not remember more than one password. You just use the output of a cryptographic hash function (such as SHA-256) on a concatenation of your "master password" (the one you remember) and the name of the site you want to login to. This generated a unique password for each site, and cannot be reproduced by anyone not knowing your master password. Try Googling for "pwdhash" for some tools to automate this.
Better yet, he can compile his own Google servers!
Of course, the bookmarks could be encrypted client-side before being uploaded to Google servers, but I doubt this is the case.
Most people trust Google with their e-mails and let them track their search history anyway, so I don't quite understand why it is necessary to point out these (obvious, at least for anyone reading Slashdot) privacy concerns everytime Google releases a new service.
Even better, define new LaTeX commands for the stuff you write repeatedly. This way, I was able to write my calculus notes in plain LaTeX quite effectively. For example, here are a few I had:
IMO application developers should demand that cloud providers standardize their APIs so that I can implement one storage API in my app and move freely between different storage providers (Just an example).

Pah! In English, you can verb anything.
Google: Don't evil!

You must be new here. Everyone knows there are only four!

The summary author really only has one of two choices: a) pay a lawyer, or b) ignore the legal consequences and only deal with them if you get sued.
What about
c) talk to the copyright holder of the original game?
Ending the summary with a cliffhanger? I must RTFA now!
I hereby suggest "but it's no match for a British journalist" as a new catchphrase.

Using @ instead of @ is enough to stop most e-mail harvesting bots, I don't see them brute-forcing MD5s any time soon.

Mandatory censorship.

If you call your own shots and assembly is still no good you haven't been at it long enough to make any good libraries.
I've made some very good libraries that help me code assembly. I like to call them higher-level programming languages.

I'd be more concerned about the giant penis just north of Europe in that picture.

On a good day, I can type 60+ WPM with two fingers.
You should make a YouTube video out of that... instant meme!
Even better, define new LaTeX commands for the stuff you write repeatedly. This way, I was able to write my calculus notes in plain LaTeX quite effectively. For example, here are a few I had:
\newcommand{\fint}{\int_a^b f(x) \,\mathrm{d} x}
\newcommand{\ixi}{\langle x_{i-1}, x_i \rangle}
\newcommand{\non}{_{n=0}^\infty}
\newcommand{\mr}{\sum\non a_nx^n}
Manage all genres of audio: Rock, Classical, Audiobooks, Comedy, Podcasts, etc.
What a cool feature! My player only manages rock music.
What, they're not? I actually haven't consider this possibility until I read your comment! This is Slashdot, right?
IMO application developers should demand that cloud providers standardize their APIs so that I can implement one storage API in my app and move freely between different storage providers (Just an example).
You're not the first to think of that.
