Until i find a solution for sync with my own server. Firefox removed the sync 1.1 protocol with local-only key (additional to the password) and now allows you to login only with e-mail and password. This means, the firefox server can decipher your data. They have some wrapping scheme, but it's just not working when they deliver a modified login page grabbing the plaintext password. No go.
I guess ignoring caps lock (or showing indicator) will not work for web pages. OTOH, how often does it happen? Then the people type in the password a second time, so what.
The point is, you should not make passwords case insensitive, but you should not force upper case letters either. Because you would rule out all all-lowercase passwords, thus making the set of possible passwords smaller.
And for caps lock there is an easier solution: show the user an indicator (or fully ignore the capslock). The indicator has some advantage, when the user uses caps lock on purpose.
Nope, this won't work. Because if you use such a service, you're hard to geolocate, just as with vpns. So netflix will block you even more than they block ipv6.
most people who cry photoshop isn't replacable, cannot actually use more than 1% of the functions without ruining their images. And like 80% are possible with gimp/krita. People who REALLY need photoshop are rare, and they are skilled enough to achieve the same with a combination of other programs, if photoshop is not available. Who still needs PS (and if only, because its all in one, he learned this and really uses the obscure functions) can still stay with windows or use a mac. But 99% of the users do not need PS.
when you try not to miss anything. You're always searching, which posts are still unread, because the timeline always tries to resort it, without actually knowing what you've seen but not clicked.
So? There are a lot of opensource licenses, which permit this.
And they are consumer licenses. Even when many people think of opensource as freeware, it is not. You are only permitted to use it under this license. Of course, the typical FOSS licenses have as very first paragraph "You may use the software how ever you want", but without such an paragraph (i.e. using some program from github, which has no license attached), you're violating copyright, as you have no permission to use it. And the licenses regulate redistribution, in a way more strict way than the usage alone (for strong copyleft like gpl), but still permit you to sell copies.

It will get Windows 10 soon.
No escape.
why do you care? you're anonymous.
That's a misunderstanding. Downloading torrents is fine and even a good purpose.
Torrenting via tor once you have the torrent may be a problem (but capacity is growing and the exits are the bottleneck)
Weakening the security by choosing a key from a much more limited set of possible keys.
They just should have stopped changing the API all the time. Too easy? Maybe ... not changing APIs seems to be boring to mozilla devs.

YOU don't understand. But think you for flaming.

> would also increase the minimum length to something significantly over 8 characters so as to prevent usage of single words as passwords
how long?

They could use geolocating DNS to spot ipv6 users (ipv6 dns queries) from ranges they cannot identify and then only deliver A records to them.
Nope, this won't work. Because if you use such a service, you're hard to geolocate, just as with vpns. So netflix will block you even more than they block ipv6.
IPv6 does things like renumbering support and mobile ip stuff, which makes locating harder. Of course, your standard connection does nothing of this.
Please ...

That's bullshit, because you already CAN use lowercase passwords, but you do not need to.
"I read slashdot, because i am so f*cking bored".
If the site limits the length of the password, you still have: Irs,biasf*b
That's what the road is made for.
Be glad it were quiet for a long time and may be quiet again when other ways are usable instead of complaining.

Maybe he's actually right. Don't give these people audience, neither themself, nor by discussion their stuff, refuting, etc. Just ignore it.
stuff that matters.
And WTF didn't the summary link the facebook clone?
I just demonstrated, that you're missing the point, this is one of many counter examples. Now don't try to weasel out.

I think this cannot really be phrased that way, because licensing something may involve the right to sell copies, depending on the license.
