An unsuccessful test isn't "failure", it's "data".

On the off-chance you're actually serious - you really think Yahoo isn't collecting exactly the same data as Google?

I hate those polls when there's no nonsense option you can choose to say "I hate this poll".

No, they have PHP in there.

(a scripting language, really?)

Yeah, I thought it was a little odd to essentially say "using numbers that I know are wrong, I've come up with this comparison".

Why is inflation such a difficult concept to grasp? Absolute dollar comparisons are meaningless if they're more than a few years apart.

I love that the story isn't "Apple made some shitty ads", but rather "people are mean to Apple (because of their shitty ads)".

Where else will you see Israelis and Palestinians, Indians and Pakistanis, etc., all competing in a friendly atmosphere?

Not really the best example, given the track record.

Something that's been around for 80 years, and at its height was selling 4 million copies weekly is a 'failed product' now?

Has been since 1826: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shutter

They're like a French No Doubt, right?

Excellent work bringing attention to this issue, you should tackle nigger rights next!

Von Neumann was influential in the design modern computers, Turing was one of the major influences in the development of Computer Science.

There isn't really much overlap between the two.

It's not anything they posted separately, I just meant 'right click -> view source...'

I agree that not giving your passwords to such sites is a sound policy, but I also think it's good to actually check out if and how they could screw you, rather than just assume they can (by some dark magic).

In this case, you have all the tools to satisfy your inner skeptic: the source is right there, if you don't trust yourself to read it, it's trivial enough to examine all communication the page does.

As the site says, the passwords are hashed on the client, and nothing but the hash is ever sent to the server.

You make a fair point, but this is Slashdot, we're not supposed to be "users" here.

with almost unlimited computing power for brute-forcing the decryptt: 6 alphanumeric characters takes 0.0000224 seconds

With "almost unlimited" computing power any password will almost take "almost no time" to decrypt.

Imagine some of the answers they found to those questions on Yahoo. I can't believe they pulled it off after asking the Internet.

Considering they're both under arrest, and the police have records of texts and Facebook conversations about disposing of the body, among other ridiculously incriminating evidence, I'm not sure "pulled it off" is exactly right.

Actually, sounds about right for asking Yahoo how to get away with murder. Though knowing Yahoo, the first 20 replies were "You shouldn't murder people, murdering is wrong."
