Bad idea. There would be no Slashdot left with all the editors posting dupes.

Well done. Pointing out that inability of the iPhone is funny, flamebait and interesting all at once.
Assuming the compromised database had proper hashing with per-user salts, you are right. In any other case, the vulnerability here was the third-party storage and not the password strength. (On top of password re-use, of course).
If the people of Pakistan truly did not like it, they could change their government through revolution, within the framework of their country's legal system, or just leave.
Or just not send HTTP requests to facebook.com?
I fail to understand how people can say that they belong to a Christian sect and claim to agree with the good things and not the bad. Your religion forbids this.
I agree that it is confusing how ambiguous the term Christian (or Muslim, for that matter) has become and that an elaborately filtered or revised denomination would be very beneficial to non-believers and possible even more so the believers themselves. But the majority of modern day believers indeed applying filters is ultimately a lot more important.
In Matthew and Luke, Jesus frequently advocates violence or condemns those who do not submit to him. Like father, like son.
I like most modern day Christians a whole lot better.
This is such a childish view. The Long Long Ago trope is merely stage setting. The adults here are talking about the fundamental humanist differences, not where it was SET.
I don't think it's childish at all. Star Trek wasn't just coincidentally dealing with us, humans. While it included a great deal of generic humanist issues, most of them purposefully reflected on actual human social issues. Quite often it explicitely explored the differences or lack thereof between humanoids in general and homo sapiens sapiens specifically. Maybe the background of Star Wars was merely stage setting, but in Star Trek it was a deliberate choice. If that allows a greater or different audience to relate to the stories and reflect on them, or the same more intimately, then the setting is all but irrelevant.
They should build a robot 120 times taller than a human. It could run a marathon in a minute, or LA-NY in an hour and a half.
The difference is that they ban both, and more.
If they were smart, they would stop overestimating the value of the Atari trademark. Most mobile gamers are too young to have a positive reaction to the name itself. The rest are probably old and experienced enough to realise their past achievements are not relevant today. Just find a new name. It is actually possible to launch a succesful brand with a name unknown twenty years ago, you know.
The meek shall inherit the earth; the rest of us, the Universe.
