Oh, no. You read that correctly. 6 is now odd and even in the JavaScript Toolkit. This thing called "math" has been depreciated in favor of faster execution.
What about hashing, though? That's not meant to be a reversible process, especially since the possibility of collisions exists. So you can still store secured passwords and the like, just not the data itself?
I'm pretty sure this is going to blow up in the government's face either way. Pass the popcorn.
A few months ago, I wrote a blog post about why the +1 Button can't work. I still think that it's doomed to failure, especially if it is used for ranking. It's also probably safe to say that the majority of people who search the web are interested in finding results, not ranking them. What this means is that most regular users won't pay attention to the +1 button on the search results page. Honestly, why go back to the results page after you've found what you're looking for? Most of the +1 users will almost certainly be spammers.
What is the most common security issue?

What has been the most common security issue that you have come across that has helped you get into more systems? Poor passwords, gullible people, or something else?
When you were hacking and breaking into systems, how did you decide which ones to break into? Was it because of the difficulty/ease of doing it with different security setups? Or was it because of the actual people/corporations/entities behind the servers and what they stood for?
As a teacher, you shouldn't insult your student's views in front of class, no matter the subject.
I'd say he was challenging the idea of there being a god. If he was insulting it, he'd stop at saying that belief in a god is nonsense. (What kind of insult is 'nonsense', anyways?) Instead, he continues to elaborate on why creationism is faulty.
Schools ought to be institutions that teach kids skills such as critical thinking. Basically, this teacher is pointing out that people have no reason or evidence to believe in what they believe in. Some people can't handle that, so instead of making a case for their views, they try to censor and remove that teacher.
They felt the need to get rid of the protocols/schemes in the Address (er, I mean "Awesome") Bar. Apparently, it's because the developers think that it will put more focus on the actual page within a website by allowing more room for it to be displayed. But I'd argue that the server is pretty important, especially for us web developer types, and how we connect to a server is a vital piece of knowledge. I mean, the scheme is necessary for a valid URL.
I don't know about anyone else's displays, but my browsers all have sufficient space to show the full URL most of the time. If not, it's not a hassle for me to click and see the end of it if I really need to. Usually, I know where I am on the web based on how I got to that page as well as the page itself. I don't think we need these silly URL omissions. What's next, hiding URL parameters? Removing the favicon?
For anyone else who feels my frustration, you can bring back the schemes pretty easily:
It isn't gaming that's sucking. It's the crappy game developers. People have made bad games for decades. The only difference between the game makers between then and now is that now, they're being louder about it.
If the developers can't figure out how to keep their own games interesting and fun enough to be played for more than a couple of hours, maybe they should either try harder or stop completely. But instead, they seem to like blaming customers for not having enough time to play their boring games. They're also willing to include tracking code in their games just to measure how little people have actually played so they can announce to the world just how little their games are worth playing.
Making a bad game shorter won't make it any more fun. It will just make the daunting task of playing it a little less painful.
Like many others have said, a case would be fine. Or even tether it to your pants if you're really paranoid about dropping or losing it. This invention would likely cost more than the alternatives. It would add to the weight and bulk of your phone. It's also likely that it would not be allowed on airplanes as airliners understandably have policies that disallow pressurized items from being on a plane (particularly in a carry-on, but the TSAs might get suspicious if they scan it in your baggage as well).
It reminds me of Sub Culture, a 90's PC game where you pilot a tiny yellow submarine around and collect things like thorium and bottle caps for cash. Instead of gas stations, we'll have The Brotherhood.
I saw a link, but can't find it where a user recommended a search engine similiar to Google's but is not prone to SEO, fake reviews, and other sleezy techniques that make Google less efficient than 10 years ago
Every search engine is prone to sleazy techniques. Search engines all have ranking factors to determine the value of a page and its relevance to the user's input query. There will always be people who will do what they can to identify those ranking factors and exploit them.
That said, I wouldn't say that SEO is a bad practice. Using SEO techniques appropriately will help people find legitimately useful content among pages of text with similar words, less developed information, irrelevant data, or whatever else.
Wait, you want Facebook to become *more* like 4chan?
You mean become less creepy?
Yeah, because Facebook is missing that non-creepy atmosphere that 4chan has. You know, that site that popularized such things as Pedobear and shitting dick nipples.
If this takes off, then a tall glass of urine-derived water could wash down the Shitburger. The relative quality of food will be so high that it'll put McDonald's out of business.
The main obstacle to progress 'seems to be a curious lack of ambition and imagination,' Etzioni writes in the piece, which he acknowledges 'is meant to be provocative.'
Yeah, but if I started coming up with content that Google couldn't read, it'd be bad for SEO. My rankings would drop and nobody would come and click on my AdSense ads!
I guess for something as great as unlimited power, you have to make some sacrifices. Like interactivity. This engine will be revolutionary in the "still life" gaming genre.

Whoops. My AJAX-based spell checker also neglects to underline words that might be out of context or misspelled because underlining wastes CPU cycles.

Eh, I must be new at this. My input looks the same:
