I thought the faster you moved through space, the slower you moved through time (thus preserving your constant speed of light through 4-d space+time) ?
To begin with, there's a world of difference between knowing how to salt and hash passwords (very basic stuff that any developer should know) and knowing how to secure a system connected to the Internet (more of a job for dedicated security experts).
Secondly, the assumption must be that you will be hacked and that you should try to minimize impact when this happens. If the passwords are properly hashed then you (the site owner) have done the most important part of your work to ensure that when your site is hacked the hacker won't get access to my (the site user's) plain text password. As people reuse passwords between sites, taking this measure of hashing salted passwords is very important.
In the end almost any site will be possible to compromise. If we call that "Rock" then it is not "Rock vs Hard Place", it is more like "Rock vs Rock with Snakes" (possible to compromise AND gives the hacker plain text passwords).
I agree with how pipatron interprets "Information wants to be free".
"Free" in this context means "to replicate". "Wants" in this context is in the same sense as genes or memes "want" to replicate. It is not the wants of people and the resulting effect on information that is described in the statement, and therefor it is not really comparable to "banks want to get robbed".
To observe that "information wants to be free" is akin to observing that "water wants to go downwards" whereas saying "banks want to get robbed" is like observing that people often build water pumps and saying "water wants to go upwards".
So now the Universe houses both timelines? Because I assume that the person sending the message - and his Universe along with him - doesn't just disappear after sending the message?
He is saying that if everyone were to bury their wealth, be it gold or paper money, in their back yards rather than reinvest then that would be damaging for society's productivity.
I've heard it claimed it is because just like we all think we are better than average drivers, everyone in the US think they're one day going to become rich.
"Application software, also known as an application or an "app", is computer software designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple related specific tasks"/Wikipedia
"Application" has a well known meaning in the computer software industry since nearly forever - just like, say, "Component" - and it has nothing at all to do with Apple. Unsurprisingly, the word "Application" has always been shortened to "app".
For a somewhat recent reminder: maybe you remember "Java Applets" - a name playing on the at the time already well established concept of an "App"?
When compressing the recycle bin further, that should be illustrated with an animation of a little man jumping up and down on top of the trash in the bin.
Because this brings limitless possibilities! For example, in a simulation of a nuke explosion, you could save yourself by hiding in an old fridge! That's the kind of thinking you can only come up with when you have sufficiently sophisticated computer graphics at your disposal.

Ah! Thanks, I missed that indeed!

And what if it is not a main use case? Which version of the ad-hoc queries hurt your eyes the least?

Well, you apparently believe that, but it doesn't make sense.
I gather a whole lot of bugs have leads exemplary lives of late so as to be reborn as people?

"If openness is a virtue, what is sort-of-openness?"
Virtuel?

If you have to be a former employee to know it, maybe it did not influence the compilers of the list?
Yup, no use in pretending it wouldn't be a tradeoff.

Too big to file?
"You put your self at risk to uncover something so heinous as to be worth that risk"
So if we lower the risk maybe we get to know about more than the absolutely most heinous corruption.
Every programmer I know will point to the first apple and say "that is apple number zero"
In that case what we need is an organization that makes equally ridiculous demands in the opposite direction.
Web apps are not exes.
Wait, what?

An authentic pedant.

Fixed.
Then what would you call a horse with three corns?
Is it possible to put firewalls between the load balancer and the web servers?
