The site just emailed me my password in cleartext when I used the "forgot password" option, so they must not be hashing them on their side. Seems like a terrible security practice.
The incident notification states "website user names and passwords could also have been accessed", so I guess this means cleartext passwords.
Then you would just disable the "wave" function in the software, requiring a button press to hush the alarm.
Really? If you want these plugins, just do the one-time install when you first encounter the Missing Plug-In message, and then everything will "just work" again. (Well, perhaps you'll have worse battery life and maybe a less secure system.) There's a reason why that error message has a button next to it that makes it really easy to install the missing piece, as opposed to hunting for the right software on the Internet.
Can you be more specific about needing to "manually futz around with flash every two weeks"? I'm guessing you mean software updates, but I have a hard time believing that Flash stops working unless you update it. If you don't value the added security of having Flash updates decoupled from OS X releases, then you can just tell Flash to stop prompting you to update (or better, just tell it to do so automatically).
It's not just startups. Why does Google get away with this with their "Name Here wants to chat" invite emails? I have an address that at this point must have received hundreds of these emails, none of which have instructions on how to block them. Partial example: http://cl.ly/image/3y3D0f2r0W0q
You do not necessarily need a Facebook account to post on the comments plugin. See the "other login providers" section on the docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comme...
The guy in the desktop video would be more convincing if only he would stop shaking his head "no".

Maybe it's just because I love web apps done with Cappuccino.
Did you read the contents in your standard web browser, like I did? What if it sent back a different set of commands if the user agent matched that of cURL?
It’s probably nicer to schedule this with iCal instead of crontab. Create a new iCal event, and add an alert for that event that runs your script. You can easily and visually configure the event to repeat only on weekdays, and the best part is that you can simply delete or modify single instances of the recurring event to deal with exceptions like holidays.
Sorry, you're right, I just confirmed that it no longer works. I'm pretty sure that method worked just a few weeks ago though. =\ The changes are probably related to the test user overhaul that Facebook has been working on for the past few months. https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/429
EDIT: I just confirmed this no longer works. =(
I think all you need to do is disassociate your account from the Developer Test Accounts network via your profile settings page: http://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php?networks
That should revert it to a regular account.
There seem to be more instances of bugs/gaming/easter eggs: http://translate.google.com/#fr|en|Je%20m%27appelle%20Sam.%2...
Translates to "ANNIE" (but only if you include the final period).
I keep a copy of The Unarchiver around for those odd formats and password-protected archives, but I still leave most things to Archive Utility. I find The Unarchiver is still too buggy for me (things like http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/issues/detail?id=215 ).
If you don't mind using the mouse, you can bring a single window to the foreground by right-clicking the corresponding application's Dock icon and selecting it from the list.
Another more visual option (that you can manage with keyboard only) is to use Exposé. In Snow Leopard, press the Exposé key on the keyboard (or set your own shortcut), start typing the name of the window you want, and press return to bring only that window to the foreground.
I've found these to be pretty good built-in solutions to the single-window problem.

Can you clarify what it is you're missing? Both walking directions and street view work well in Maps on my iPhone.
I also can’t add words, so the only way to get iOS to remember an unknown word is to add it to the address book
That is false, and this should be a good tip if you were unaware of the technique. Just add the words in Settings : General : Keyboard : Edit User Dictionary… No need to add them to the address book.
How does one "flag as spam"? I don't see any such links on either the article discussion page or the user page.
