    The menus that do work in Opera are the equivilent of a div being revealed and hidden. The relation to the lovely hiermenus is only passing. Writing a hierarchial menu system isn't easy - and I'd love to see anyone here do better.

    WebDAV is generally regarded as the successor to FTP. It has versioning and checkouts (depending on the server). WebDAV clients are included in Win98 and up.

    Just to be clear,

    1. Get an email saying you have an encrypted message and you follow the link

    2. Verify that it's you by providing some password. As you're querying a remote server they can limit the number of tries per day, etc.

    3. If you get in you get the encrypted file.

    This gives you far more control over your encrypted files than handing them out to be bruted.

    Yes yes, the http connection would have to be encrypted. To get the encypted file you follow a link in an email and you must provide the decryption key. The point is that I can put limits upon this such as only allowing 10 attempts a day.

    This is an addional layer of security. It's proven, kinda, and zixmail.net do something rather close.

  9. Web forums. on 1024-bit RSA keys In Danger Of Compromise? · · Score: 1
    For a time in writing my own webforum software I considered doing login passwords as a file upload of a key file. The problem here though is that you send them a file to decrypt and they can spend as long as they want pawing at the file, and eventually brute it out. It's the model of sending someone a file that they decrypt that's broken - not that key length.

    Everyone needs to host their own email system. You send someone a response by hosting the response on your machine. In doing so you can prevent more than 100 attempts a day.

    This method is flawed. It's strong, but as CPUs get faster you have to increase the keylength ever more and you're fucked, basically. Hosting messages yourself means you can control access in a far smarter and more fine grained way.

    For example, I saw this guy coming down the street. As soon as he saw me he broke into a cheesy 80's robot walk and he started making sound effects with his mouth. VVVRRRR-CHUSH VVVRR-CHUSH VVVVVVVVRR-CHUSH, and so on.

    Once even I saw him make a subtle mistake as he started walking like an egyptian. It was just ridiculous. I had to stop taking that way to work.

    Speed reading is really a misnomer and the wrong way of looking at the problem. It's about rentention. It's all about improving rentention. Like drawing the outline of a picture before you fill it in I strongly believe retention is improved by skimming a book (randomly flicking through) so the mind can prepare to organise that information.

    Hi,

    By .NET I assume you mean .NET Web Forms, and this model produces it's own HTML (datagrids/lists/etc.). It is standard's based but it is ultimately uncontrollable.

    When you're talking about standards (as many people often do) it would be nice if you actually named some specific versions and not just that vague "standards" idea. Which ones? Netscape 4 has four tags to remove page margins and other browsers (all other browsers) ignore the four attributes. It will break standards, but it won't hurt anyone, and when used correctly it will only enhance older browsers.
