Would really like to see Unicorn become open source.
Where I work we use datamarts spread across several data warehouses, which is quite similar to the FB way. Since we use a bottom-up design model, creating so called solutions using this indexer would be very straightforward.
Most of the times I end up at SO through the google and in over 50% of all "cases" that helps more than ploughing through documentation pdfs, wikis and kbs.
Even though I am a documentation evangalist as part of my job, I believe documentation will never get better and will always be incomplete.
Good, or at least, good enough documentation saved my ass numerous times. For example documentation about a custom compiled database function that got lost because somebody, dropped the database instead of the table as intended. A binary restore from a backup got the data back, but the function was lost. The application using the function failed instantly. Although I wrote the function myself, it would have taken days to rewrite it from scratch. Luckily I documented the function code and how to load it, and a smart coworker managed to restore it without consulting me.
Documentation is an ambiguous beast, too little is bad, but too much is sometimes worse...
There are WAY MORE java web apps you might think Where I work we have at least 3 applications that only can be used through an applet. Plus all our KVMs are java applets, thanks to HP...
In addition, learn kids not to use and learn only a single OS or particular programming language. Use them all, get to know them, learn their pros and cons.
But you'll need loads of cash, connections in South America and a replacement face.
On a serious note, no. I have always been careful (since CompuServe) but there are some traces, if you dig usenet. Most sites from back then are gone. Lucky I have a generic name, first hit is a guy somewhere far away, so I am happy...
Forcing people to change their password to comply to "their" rules only makes passwords weaker. Users should be teached to create passwords with a formula or pattern for each separate site or service and to NEVER EVER use the same password twice.
For example, name of the site, year of signup, a non character and a non guessable unique postfix: slashDot2012@noncoward And no, this is not my formula nor my password, heh...
Also, strictly reinforcing policy forcing people to change it every X weeks, will eventually lead to people writing it down on a post it and stick it underneath their keyboard or even on a visible place. Just walk through an office and look around.
Google gets it, I have the same password since signup, years ago. They warn sometimes, but you can click that away without forcing you to change it or else you cannot login. When a site or service forces me to change my password, they essentialy tells me they are insecure about their security...
Just as the article mentions, what if this causes sites to be excluded from Google if they just mention the copyrighted names? On a forum, a blogpost, etc. Plus you can count on it people are going to try and game this system to get competitors excluded.
You are right about the previous buggy implementations such as Flash, but the point I tried to make is, why incorporate this into a browser. It only calls for more bloat and more vulnerabilities.
Of course this stuff is really handy to call a hot lady through a webpage without leaving a trace in your favorite messenger, but not seriously an option I would consider, mostly because I do not like to intermix applications, as stated earlier.
Just as a car is for driving. You could try and make a car fly as well, but it will fly only for a few seconds before gravity kicks in.
Same goes for software. Years of experience learned me to prevent this kind of 'additional functionality', also called "function creep". Next to that, I can think up tons of vulnerabilities, such as implanting 'bugs' on pages, analog to a hidden electret mic, or pre recorded spam calls.
Note that I really support this type of innovation, but please, not in browsers.
If you don't like to have Google display your stuff. These French newspapers just do not seem to get the idea about how the Internet works. Please only publish your shite on your LAN if you don't want people to read it.
At work because IT is outsourced. This lame big ass IT provider says it cannot update or stuff will break. They probably still did not spot that Java control panel thingy in Windows and have no idea about putting the right Java in the working path...
Sent tons of complaints to them, our "CSO" and management about security implications but get ignored. I have told my manager I refuse to take responsibility if I get owned, and covered my own ass by sending him a email about this, just to have it recorded. BTW, I am the only developer/tester of the company I work at, responsible for keeping an eye on outsourced code mucus and thus have no fellow geeks around to support me.

They should pay the fine in batches of 140 single cents.
Digital archaeologists are only able to browse the ancient web on their emulators until the day in history W3C introduced DRM.
That is one of MY biggest cons against DRM in HTML.
Having all this Minitel page data is nice, but would only be useful if they would use a memento style interface where you can browse through time.
I remember Minitel was used several times to organise rallies against the government, as a type of social media if you like.

because they applied some BGP trickery to have the IP resolve in NK

They already own the rights of having stuff melt after a few uses.

No problem, they just need to attach a couple of wings, and re-classify him, problem solved...
But then they would probably get slammed by asteroids Troll and Shill
They probably ask Alex Murphy to give it a try
Would occur instantly if I would use that pen.
That is why I got a job with a keyboard.

Unfortunately I might add. There are OG tags all over the place and even see a FB icon next to a username sometimes. What's up with that?

Many wishful thank yous my goodest friend. Kaspersky will soon wire money you earn so well by shill being.
Makes me want to puke.
Although being a coffee addict myself I never tried a single can of "power" or "energy" drinks, just because the smell is so distinct, yuck!
