It's not anything they posted separately, I just meant 'right click -> view source...'
I agree that not giving your passwords to such sites is a sound policy, but I also think it's good to actually check out if and how they could screw you, rather than just assume they can (by some dark magic).
In this case, you have all the tools to satisfy your inner skeptic: the source is right there, if you don't trust yourself to read it, it's trivial enough to examine all communication the page does.
As the site says, the passwords are hashed on the client, and nothing but the hash is ever sent to the server.
You make a fair point, but this is Slashdot, we're not supposed to be "users" here.
Imagine some of the answers they found to those questions on Yahoo. I can't believe they pulled it off after asking the Internet.
Considering they're both under arrest, and the police have records of texts and Facebook conversations about disposing of the body, among other ridiculously incriminating evidence, I'm not sure "pulled it off" is exactly right.
Actually, sounds about right for asking Yahoo how to get away with murder. Though knowing Yahoo, the first 20 replies were "You shouldn't murder people, murdering is wrong."
Last year's Nobel in Physiology and Medicine went to the discoverers of the Toll gene and Toll-like receptors (as well as dendritic cells), which play a major role in immune response activation.
Since they are the only ones "allowed", and the only ones who *can*, then yes, they SHOULD be required to continually support a platform they hold sole control over.
What a ridiculous thing to say. It's their product, they can do, or not do, anything to it that they want.
My reading was that they already had similar rules in place for flights crossing US airspace (which, fine, sort of makes sense), but now they want to extend them to all flights going to the specified cities.
The "steer clear" and "over-fly US airspace" in your quotes are in different contexts - they were specifically emphasizing that the new rules are about flights that don't enter the US airspace.
Not really sure that you need to resort to conspiracy theories - the book is crazy popular right now; and yes, partly because of the massive advertising push for the movie (then again, it's getting a movie because it's crazy popular).
If they did this 3 years ago, it'd be full of Twilight nonsense.
What, they shouldn't be charged just because they're kids? Kids get charged for movie tickets and DVDs, don't they? Sometimes at a discount, sometimes not, but that's up to the rightsholder.
If you believe that you can "own" information, this follows naturally.
See, this is the problem here - a lot of the "facts" being constantly repeated are completely made up.
No, he did not post anything online. He posted about it on Twitter; something to the effect of "my roommate has a guy over". Of course that's not nearly juicy enough, so almost every single news story rounded it up to "sex tape posted online!"
Just to reiterate: there were no sex tapes, no pictures, no actual sex, either. He didn't even see anyone naked.
If you're at all interested in learning more about what actually happened, this article goes into a good amount of detail (fascinating read, actually).
And give me a fucking break - "witness intimidation"? He asked his friend not to talk to the cops (rather stupidly, obviously). The friend that was facing most of the same charges and thew him under the bus to get a deal.
And you're a fucking retarded asshole for suggesting the two things are the same.
In this case, the two are the same only in the sense that neither one actually took place.
So, the guy may be going to jail for 10 years for watching his roommate kissing a guy for a couple of seconds.
There is exactly no evidence that this had anything to do with Clementi's suicide - he wasn't closeted, and did not appear to be struggling with his sexual orientation in any way.
There is no evidence that his suicide had anything to do with him being gay. None of this is about homophobia. None of this is about "cyber-bulling".
What Ravi is guilty of a moderately dickish thing, and planning a majorly dickish thing (it's not clear if was actually going to follow through with it) - and yes, if you locked up every 20 year old for that then most colleges would be empty.
In short, you're a lousy human being for jumping on the "let's find somebody to blame" bandwagon.

With "almost unlimited" computing power any password will almost take "almost no time" to decrypt.

If they're actually making preparations to murder someone, they have committed a crime and are criminals.
I don't have a problem with that. Of course, the burden of proof would have to be a lot higher than "googled some things".
You could say it's downright medireview.
Interesting. What do you suppose the word 'gifted' means, then?
Or does that not exist, either?
So if you and your spouse both made $175k pre marriage, just getting married increases your tax rate by 5%.
Your marginal tax rate increases by 5%, the effective rate (in your example) increases by 1.9% ($6.65k) - not great, but not exactly ruinous.
No shit.

You're right, what a fucking joke.
At the current rate, dirt's looking pretty good to win that one.

Really, "trust in science" - turn that around in your head a few times.
It has more gaps than any other system - you have to constantly mind them.

Heh, "run my own stuff on it" - how adorably 20th century of you!
So I take it we're back on the BitCoin thing full-time?
Does this mean that we at least don't have to see anything about Raspberry Pie or Strawberry Jam, or whatever, for a few weeks?
Anyone can call anyone else anything they please, doesn't really mean anything, though.
