Because people paste cookie contents to each other over IM all the time?
URLs are designed to be shared - that's one of the things that users are expected do to with them. Putting identification information there violates the design assumptions of the system, and is therefore innately insecure.
No, its when people make assumptions like you did that systems are innately insecure. You don't pass the login credentials every page - you pass a key/value, which should be tied to both a time and an ip. You should also be modifying it on a regular basis (even with every access) if you're really worried about security, so that the same key/value only works that one page/request/whatever, and then it's no longer valid. Sure, it makes the back button useless, but if you're going to make it so that even if the data is stolen, it can't be used, it's a nice trade-off.
"stopper" is franglais , just as "le crankshaft", "les brake", "le windshield", "le steering" "les boys", "wat de fuck!", "ambourger", "club sammich", "le grader" (road grader), "bulldozer", "CD", "DVD", "all-dress" (all-dressed pizza or hotdog, d'oh), "drill", "driller", "LCD" (now means a monitor), "blutoot'" (pretty much exclusively used for bluetooth cell phone headsets), "'umancoke" (rum and coke), "des chip" (potato chips, as opposed to french fries)
To framglicize a word, you have to drop any 'h' at the beginning, slur it together, and give it a bad accent.
Overhyped by sales drones? Well, even if you don't, at least your colleagues believe in your product.
Their paycheck depends on them being "true believers". Can you imagine if they went around to customers and said "We want to sell you this really crappy, sucky product? How sucky is it? It will give you so many headaches you'll think Microsoft wrote it..."
It's very hard to get someone to believe something that goes against their perceived financial interests - which is why management frequently doesn't listen to the alarm bells. A good example was google's searchwiki - anyone could have told them it was a bad idea, a spamtrap, that people who are searching for something don't want to waste their time rating search results - that search is just a waypoint on a users' trip on the net, not a final destination.
Start with reverse engineering and the IBM Compatible PC. This has been going on for a long time and is defiantly possible with the right precautions for example if you only have the binary file(s) a clean room approach would probably be used. I believe it is doable but at the very least you will probably need a lawyer.
Bad comparison - the people who reverse-engineered the IBM weren't the same people who designed it in the first place. A "clean room" approach isn't possible in this case.
Do this for 40 years, and you'll be just as sharp at 50 as you were at 20.
Apparently these activities do not help your arithmatic:). Good suggestions though.
My math skills are fine, as are my child psychology skills. You have to start a lot younger than 20; you'll reach your peak at 20, but what that peak is depends on what went on before. Develop the skills that keep your brain sharp when you're a child, and you're much more likely to stay sharp.
It's no more insecure than passing it in a cookie. The only advantage is that it doesn't show up in server logs, but if the server is h4x0red, or you've succumbed to a man-in-the-middle or phishing or spoofing attack, cookie, post, or get variables... they're all available.
"Do this for 40 years, and you'll be just as sharp at 50 as you were at 20."
Hmm...
50 - 40 = 10
20 + 40 = 60
Maybe I'm letting precision getting in the way of getting point?
- no, you're just not thinking it through. You reach your PEAK at 20. However, how high you peak depends in large part to the environment you were brought up in. You can't just decide, at 20, to stretch your "brain muscles." It's your parents' responsibility to provide a stimulating environment when you're younger, so that you'll be able to achieve your full potential.
Do this for 40 years, and you'll be just as sharp at 50 as you were at 20.
Damn! Why didn't you tell me to start when I was still 10?
Because it's your parents who should be doing this, even before you're 10. Instead of just plopping their arses on the couch and watching 5 hours of TV a night, without even bothering to properly supervise homework.
The 40 years is from 10 to 50. Simple math. You have to teach kids while they're still young. You can't take an adult and instill qualities like curiosity in them - toooooo late. As for drinking, the idea is to help ward off the #1 killer of men and women - heart attacks. An occasional glass helps. The age to start is at the parents' discretion, but there's nothing wrong with teenagers having a small glass of wine once in a while at the supper table on Sunday.
Simple - you reach your peak at 20, so you want to develop the good habits BEFORE that - to attain a higher peak. What do you think programmes like "Head Start" were all about?
No, they just get actively suppressed starting at about age 5-6 .
Yep - that's our "education system" for you. Teachers who can't teach. They don't know how to impart knowledge to kids because their parents didn't serve as an active example. Now we have "teachers" who, when confronted with simple tasks, say "I can't figure this out - I'm a visual learner!" And cashiers who, when the bill is $5.20, and you hand them $20.25, can't figure out that you want $15.05 in change. And a co-worker who can't change a fluorescent tube in the light fixture over his desk because he doesn't know how.
These examples are all from the past week.
No curiosity, no initiative, no hunger for knowledge, no willingness to experiment. TV doesn't just make you stupid - it makes the next generation stupid as well, because you don't interact with your kids, leaving the school and the streets as their teachers.
The number 1 killer of women isn't breast cancer - it's heart attacks. So, better for women to have a glass of wine a day - they'll live longer.
Ask women what their greatest health risk is and they'll probably say cancer. Polls indicate women are more likely to say breast cancer is their greatest health risk, they are wrong.
Statistics indicate women's risk of breast cancer is trivial compared to their risk of heart disease. Forty-three percent of deaths in American women are due to cardiovascular disease, leaving women six times more likely to die of a heart attack than breast cancer. And a 2003 study by the American Heart Association found only 13 percent of women felt heart disease was their biggest health threat.
Do this for 40 years, and you'll be just as sharp at 50 as you were at 20.
And as good at mathematics!
No math error - you need to start well before you're 20 if you're going to stay sharp all your life. Your parents needed to challenge you, instead of using a TV | game console | computer as a babysitter.
If you go to your local store and check the baby section, you'll find a product called "Gripe Water" - for teething pains in infants, and the active ingredient is booze. Watered-down gin is the same thing, but cheaper.
Or check out the mouthwash section - Listerine - the main active ingredient is also alcohol. You going to keep kids away from the mouthwash?
Ah-hahahahaha... yea... I'm sure a 10 year old is going to consider consequences he might have when he's 50
... no, but the parents should be concerned about giving their kids a decent head start... and those same habits - reading, curiosity, trying new things - don't magically stop when you reach a certain age.
No, I'm saying that PARENTS should be encouraging their kids to read, to explore, to think, to play games that stimulate the brain, to interact with them on a daily basis, to help develop all the habits that not only give kids a head start in life, but prevent aging of the brain at the other end of life.
... as opposed to too many people who can't be arsed to learn squat, because its' "too hard", or they're "visual learners", or "if it isn't point-and-click, it's too complicated", never want to try anything new, never want to try to fix something themselves because they don't want to bother reading the instructions, and have less attention span than a gerbil on qualudes.
There's a reason first-born kids usually come out ahead - they get more attention.
Do this for 40 years, and you'll be just as sharp at 50 as you were at 20
Though your numeric skills may decline.:)
Nope - my point is that you have to start YOUNG. Waiting until you're 20 to say "gee, I think I'll keep my brain in shape by doing stuff that keeps my brain in shape" is WAY too late. Start at 10, or younger.
The notion that memory == intelligence is just wrong. Just get over it, and let a computer do all the memory for you. Use your brain for what it's uniquely qualified to do.
That's pretty frakking stupid. You'll like REAL intelligent walking around at the office without your pants because you "forgot" to put them on again. Or sitting in traffic because you forgot your way home. Or not being able to reply to someone's question because, half way through, you've lost your train of thought. Or drooling all the time because you forget to shut your mouth. Or pissing yourself because you forgot that you had to go to the bathroom, and said to yourself - "the Depends will take care of it" - but you forgot you weren't wearing any.

Same here. This is NOT working ... Time for a revert, boys.

Hey, gramps - next time you build a bike, you might want to follow the instructions and bolt the seat on.
