Throughout the history of IT, we’ve had our share of purists. OS purists, language purists, etc. We must strife to remove all purity!

it seems that most ideological purity in regarding reality have lead to failure, even in physics (e.g. particle vs wave nature of matter) ... they are useful in virtual space

And in superstring theory, everything lies on a ley line.

I use a much more appropriate term for this than "purity".

Would lack of purity then be the new purity?
|
|
|
|

Yes, and then we must expunge that purity! Onward to pure purity! Crush the impure!
Sorry, slow news days drive me a little batty.

Wake me up when this is over, Charles.
Although it can seem a good idea, I am with Mark in this... I don't want to be forced to be online to do anything with my computer.
I can understand the problem with passwords, but all other alternatives are not much better. No matter what the articles or whatever hype say.
ALL new "super secure" things are already proved to be not that secure.
Do you want to increase security in some online services... add more factors of authentication, but don't force me to go online to do everything, because it will be less secure on the long term

Some apps highlight when a person is online—and then share that information with their followers. I curse those little green dots

Some sites use cross-site scripting, too.
techxplore added to the added to the "suspect" list, and blocked from seeing online status.

Any site that uses cross-scripting is either blocked or added to an "avoid when possible and don't allow scripts" list.
It could be Santa Clause's personal site, but he doesn't have control of scripts pushed by third parties, so he's blocked.
I never get Christmas presents, anyway (unless I pay for them up front), so bollocks to 'im.
Basic security isn't paranoia; it's common sense.

It was only a joke about the words repetition
I do not disagree with you in anything about security in the net. I actually would like to know more about it and do some (if not all) of the things you do. I do know that learning it is something I can do. It is just lack of time, procrastination and a bit laziness.

Oh, and total lack of fear in deleting unopened e-mails.
I'm writing this in a weven VM that I use for chat-type stuff, and always close without saving its state.

Quote: F@H hit its pinnacle of mindshare—and performance—in 2007, when Sony added it to the PlayStation 3. So that's why I could never beat the big boss!
It's all sony's fault for using too many resources for purposes other than the one I paid them for!
Happy, now

YOU SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH COBOL, YOU IDIOT!

I don't get it, what could COBOL do that JavaScript CoffeScript TypeScript can't do?
That was meant as a joke, but after typing it, I did wonder if there was actually any limitations of COBOL beyond subjectively awkward syntax (where things like ===, ==, =>, ->, etc. are not at all awkward)
