Easy test: If you type you password in on random sites, it's not secure at all.

  It would take a desktop PC about
  37 years
  to crack your password

But radix had that password (and thousands of others) in an hour[1]

Apparently, I don't. Oh well.

Unless you also want to fix things like spacing and whatnot. Some formatting rules can be pretty complex. But I agree that a dictionary would be an essential part to the spellcheck part.

I've got no experience in Applescript, so my advice might not be worth much.

That said, since you have three problems, solve them each on their own: * First, do something really simple with Regex, to make sure you can use them in your app (say, in JS, it'd be something like

  alert('test'.replace(/st/, 'ssst'));

Then you know the regex engine itself is working. * Next, you need to figure out how to change text in the document. Not sure if you have already got this covered. * Then it's a matter of applying the two. Note that regex functions return the changed string, rather than change the string itself. In the example listed on the documentation it does:

  set s to change "^[ ]+" into "" in s with regexp 

i.e. first change the string (change "^[ ]+" into "" in s with regexp) then store it (set s to <expr>

All in all pretty vague advice I guess.

I've done it three times, and get the same hash each time:

I'm using:

  md5sum --version
  md5sum (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0

Edit: On Windows XP

If you want to make it easy for them to replace you, automate and document as much as you can? That way, if you want to leave, you can just hand over the job with only a few days guiding the new person around.

This is just a link to the front page of a bag shop? Don't see Google even mentioned there.

Being from the EU, I've got the idea that most people are pretty attached to their currency. I'm guessing it depends a bit on your market - some people (global-minded?) have no problem doing currency conversion, others do (nationally-minded?). For a company selling a downloadable program, I had to modify their website so it could sell in these three currencies (EUR, GBP, USD). Since they have no official presence there, I presume it was feelgood only.

I suppose the question is not "should you" but "can you afford to". If you can make it so, reaching out to the customer, "speaking" in their own currency, is always a benefit.

Edit: If you /need/ to pick one, pick the one were you expect the most revenue? I don't think anyone of them are less hesitant about it than others. Save for maybe EU people since they might remember the good ol' days of the Mark and the Franc and such.

's A bit difficult to make suggestions. What's keeping you to the benq? I've got a Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard, everything else feels cramped to me.

It's loading but pretty slow for me.

Nothing here either

I can access HN just fine, but I get the same result from curl:

  $ curl -I https://news.ycombinator.com/ -k
  HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented
  Server: nginx
  Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 09:59:39 GMT
  Content-Type: text/html
  Content-Length: 174
  Connection: close

You could try doing custom HTTP requests via telnet:

  $ telnet news.ycombinator.com 80
  Trying 184.172.10.74...
  Connected to news.ycombinator.com.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  GET /

  <body bgcolor="white">
  <center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
  <hr><center>nginx</center>
  </body>
  </html>
  Connection closed by foreign host.

Since HN redirect everything to HTTPS it doesn't tell you much, but it can tell you for example whether a connection to port 80 is going through.

Edit: You have to type the "GET /" <return> part, in case that wasn't clear. The rest is server response.

From the slicer point of view, I find it useful if the layer tree contains a part for the general look of the website (header and such) and then per page a layer tree. That way it's pretty clear which parts you intend to be consistent across the website, and which things are page-unique.

Since not all pages are equally long, the footer doesn't work that way, but if you want the footer to be the same across the website, it could be enough to just put it on the front page and name it as such. That'd be clear enough for me, but I suppose it depends on who's taking the PSD to build the HTML out of it and how much you get to instruct them.

It's a bit unclear whether there's other players or not, a lobby where you can start a two-player game is kinda mandatory.

Other than that, pretty cool :)

It just uploads the image you drop, combines it server-side (in PHP you'd use something like http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php). Tricky part is getting the tilting right so it matches the phone.

The page now 404's, even though it's still linked like this from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology/.

Edit: It's resolving properly now for me.

Looked up a few, saw a few more of > 7 days, up to 11. So I'm guessing it means "Less that 2 weeks old"

As far as I know, that's because they joined recently, I think less than a day ago.

Did HN eat the word "penis"?

Looks like it does some weird things with unicode chars: http://p.fbeans.of.je/6ac08194

No charset in the content type, that could be it.

Also, it's most useful if you can edit a pastebin to generate a new one, so you can "collaborate"

Link is missing a part: http://chronicle.com/article/I-Will-Ruin-Him/136693/

Link seems incorrect - Pasting it here didn't work either (HN eats the ' in don't)

Would a pretty printer help?

A list of passwords written down is a whole lot more secure than a single really simple passwords used on each site. And if you keep the book as secure as your car keys, it's as secure as an average user is going to be.

It's more portable that software password managers, though the passwords are likely to be less secure. Then again, I keep ending up having to narrow down what characters I can and cannot use in a password after generating them, so you can't make as much use of that as you'd want. A lot of user will still just use '1234' everywhere, but for most users it might actually be pretty good.

On top of that, having a list of accounts makes it easier to cross reference them when you see a news report about a site's password database being leaked.

Assuming you mean this Rosetta Stone: http://www.rosettastone.eu/ . I used it for a while a few years ago (they have an online version now, can't comment on that). I haven't used much other learning programs besides Memrise http://www.memrise.com/ (which I use now to learn various writing systems). So for what it's worth:

I got through the first level of Russian and Japanese, and halfway through the second level of Russian. I'd say you get a decent feeling for the language, more than I got from other attempts to learn languages. However, it never tells you _why_ something is this or that way, you always have to figure that out for yourself. For a lot of things that doesn't matter, but I kept confusing the two counting words that are used in Japanese and it didn't give a clear reason as to why you should use this one with this and that one with that.

I think it'd work well on a tablet or so, since it uses only large buttons, but back then touch screens weren't so common yet so I had to use a mouse. I think I'd like it more if I had a tablet computer to use it on. There's all kinds of fancy features like a form of speech recognition to test if you actually pronounce it properly, but I haven't used that so I can't comment on that either.

As whether it's worth the price, cough I can't comment on that. Also depends on how you have to spent ofc.

"While we are unable to provide detailed information on how we link related accounts" I don't think it means they don't know, I think it means they can't[1] "detail", i.e. tell you.

If this is what the market is willing to pay for them, than the prices pre-flood were too low. Simple economics?
