The app still generates offline codes as a backup, iirc.

Except it doesn't even take a second for the password input to appear. Where are you getting those numbers from anyway? When I tried it, it only took about 152 ms for all the data to load after submitting the e-mail address.
That's not true, though. You would still have to either press tab (now enter), or click the second field to enter the password.

You don't have to be in a minority in order to be marginalised. It's like saying that since black people make up the majority of South Africa, the idea that the white minority could oppress them is laughable. It has more to do with power than numbers.
Re:Is it an accident? No, it's a wildcard subdomain on Sunday April 12, 2015 @06:30PM (#9364978)
Something along lines of

Yes he does. Dealing with copyright infringement can be very expensive and time consuming.

You can use any other TOTP-based application instead of Google Authenticator. Plus, unlike SMS, it works offline.

Well, "record" buttons also tend to be red.

I don't think that's the lesson to take away from this...

> because it suited her interests more

And based on that you concluded that women are less interested in sciences because of their biology. You seem to be ignoring the fact that girls are actively discouraged from being interested in certain fields. But that couldn't have anything to do with it, could it? Must be the biology...

Re:42 as a Service on Thursday February 05, 2015 @12:00PM (#9004312)
Excellent idea! I will definitely use this in my next project. Do you have a business plan yet?
A video of something you can't readily identify is not an evidence of space aliens. It's not even an evidence of it being extra-terrestrial. It could very well be a normal aeroplane or an optical illusion. Given that one is far more likely than the other, it's hard to assume that it's from the outer space. There is no actual evidence of aliens, I'm afraid.
Re:CurrentC Has Been Hacked, Testers’ Email Addresses Stolen on Wednesday October 29, 2014 @12:33PM (#8528108)
They were hacked before even launching publicly. I suppose they're trying to build trust in their service early on.
But science isn't about someone agreeing with a theory. If you can disprove a theory, great. Otherwise no one really cares about your flawed arguments.
Re:Microsoft takes down No-IP.com domains on Monday June 30, 2014 @05:22PM (#7967799)
Probably because Windows XP is well over 10 years old. You can't possibly expect them to support it forever just because some organisations can't be bothered to upgrade.
Re:Why use www? on Sunday June 29, 2014 @02:07PM (#7961880)
That's absolutely not how it works. Firstly, "www" is a subdomain of "example.com". The subdomain could match the hostname of the server that hosts it, but that's rarely the case (there can be multiple servers behind a load-balancer, for example). Secondly, you don't have to create a wildcard record for "example.com" to work. You just have to add an A record for it (just like you would do for any subdomain thereof).

Because encountering a site with a self-signed certificate likely means that the connection is MITM'd. In any case, with a self-signed cert you can't who you're connecting to.

You need to be a paying OS X dev member to access the seeds on developer.apple.com.

Yes it does. It's just not enabled by default.

Authy use their own system, but the app also supports TOTP.

Because it's so easy to start a company and compete with Amazon.
How is she starting trouble? I suppose not being harassed at work is not too much to ask for, is it? What does programming even have to do with it?

The script is for a DDoS protection service (http://www.prolexic.com/). It only shows up the first time you load the page.

No way! Who knows, maybe they'll even release Windows 10 after that.
