They probably have a client-side script that makes it hard to submit a long password.
Those of you who think that there mustn't be a limit to the size, consider what happens when some joker opens a text editor, types a word and then does this repeatedly a few times:
Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Arrow key down, Ctrl-v
IIRC you needed a stylus to write effectively on those, no?
Microsoft may actually have made some genuine progress in signal processing and machine learning to allow you to write with your fingertips.

AMD CPU:s reportedly return exactly the same values as Intel CPU:s. I'm guessing they do so for compatibility reasons, so that any workarounds that software developers have implemented work as expected.
Maybe people are catching on to the fact that a lot of what passes for advanced technology these days only amounts to the arrangement of pixels on screens.
Previous waves of technologies liberated us from hard work. The Internet wave, while impressive, has not really been able to do that.
And no, sites that help wealthier people buy services such as cooking, cleaning and driving from poorer people don't count, since the work is still done by a human. I'm talking about machines or devices that physically make work easier, or does work automatically. Like the washing machine. The washing machine is so far probably the best machine, or robot really, that we have invented in terms of how much work it saves per dollar. A 1930's invention, which predates computers. It's sad when you think about it.
I hope the breakthroughs are just around the corner and that soon we will have our self-driving cars and our household robots that do chores and what not. Until then I doubt we will see much excitement from the general public.
We'd obviously have to situate it off-world and use some sort of electromagnetic beam to send the generated energy to earth. Heck, given the amount of extra power generated, we could just send off the energy everywhere and there'd still be enough hitting the earth. We could then use devices here to convert that energy into electricity.
I oppose this idea, especially out of care for the children. I think the giant fusion reactor would have to be situated too close to schools and nature preserves and other sensitive areas and I don't think the radiation risks have been thoroughly analyzed and quantified.
Look, I'm not opposed to giant balls of hydrogen as long as you build them in suitable places. There are many examples where they have put them light-years away from Earth, where there aren't any schools or preschools, and I'm all in favor of those ones.
Oh, look, this guy just bought a new fridge. Let's show him lots of fridge ads. Oh, look he clicked one of the fridge ads! Wow, this guy is really into fridges.
Meanwhile in guy's home...
Guy: "Hmm, this fridge looks about as good as the one I bought and the price is about the same. Yeah, I feel good about my purchase. Not going to return it. See you in 15 years, fridge sellers."
The battle against overly authoritarian shitheads is not a 30-year battle. It is likely an eternal battle (for moderate values of the concepts of "battle" and "eternity").
(There is no Islamic State in the west, but there are other examples one could name. For example: despite mountains of evidence to the contrary there are still hundreds of millions of people in the western world who think that sending drug addicts to prison is a great idea.)
It is also not a battle that can be successfully fought by anyone who does not picture themselves having their great grandchildren live in the region, because only those who do will have the stamina to keep fighting forever. Americans or Europeans can't be responsible for fighting the battle for a Middle east free of The Islamic State, or whatever other pretentious banner these guys will be fighting under next year.
"Why ten? Why not nine, or eleven? I'll tell you why: cause ten sounds official!"
"So having ten commandments was really a marketing decision."
The fastest way to breed a population increase would be multiple females for every male.
Multiple uteri at any rate. Our ability to grow organs and have them live outside of the human body is improving rapidly. I don't think it is too far out to imagine that we might one day grow babies inside artificial uteri outside of the human body.
If science keeps progressing there may come a day when only the poor make their children the old fashioned way.
Two words: population growth.
The population density is just way higher in Africa nowadays, which makes it easier for diseases to infect more people and spread farther away from the community where the initial outbreak happened.
Just remember that you will probably have many moments when you think that the tool doesn't solve the problem adequately, when in reality the tool does actually solve the problem adequately if you know how to use it. The real problem then is that the tool comes with inadequate documentation, or that it needs more or better tutorials and sample projects for novice users.
Fortunately bozos like this doofus only have jurisdiction over a couple of square miles of land, not the entire global internet.
Wanker.
This guy has jurisdiction over more than 1/10 of the planet's land area: http://www.theguardian.com/wor...
Note the part about forcing
I want all devices to end up running HTML5 apps or some kind of compatible format. I'm working on a mobile game using CocoonJS. Phonegap is also pretty good, especially now that modern HTML5 canvas are rendering using webgl.
If one prefers to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript to write applications there is this thing called a "web browser" that can parse HTML and CSS and run JavaScript, as well as access various local resources on the device.
It often works reasonably well on phones and tablets too!
What about the non-HIV positive women they had sex with?
Penis in anus sex has a much higher risk of transmitting HIV compared to penis in vagina sex. We're talking something like a factor of ten difference.
It has always been a little bit mysterious that HIV manages to spread epidemically among heterosexual people who don't use iv drugs in Africa. I don't know if this mystery has been resolved yet.
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
