The Pub / Re: Minimum PHP version?
« on December 21st, 2013, 02:37 PM »
My sole host (Nearlyfreespeech) supports anything up to 5.5.

I don't really care what you choose here. Do what makes your job easier.

The Pub / Re: Need opinions on a variable name...
« on December 13th, 2013, 12:03 AM »
I'm pretty sure most software I've ever used used /public/images/*.*

But it doesn't really matter too much to me.

Is it because it's for something we're all looking forward to but it won't be released for a while still?

How about we wait until the software is released, then we let the users decide? Right now this is not much more than a pissing contest.

Arantor. What you need is not Wedge nor any other software project. You're writing it black on white, depression. Do your best to get better, and don't think about things like css parsers!

I once had 14.4 kbps modem. That counts right?

I spent most of my time on WinMX.

I can't think of any reason not to.

Brute forcing my password without a hash or anything should be fairly impossible, but yes, of course you're right. I'm just telling you the reason I went straight for the "malicious software" idea.

Yup, passwords that change without notification are usually indeed a sign that something bad has happened. Malware? Maybe. What it does show is that your account has almost certainly been tampered with but not necessarily via malware - there are other ways for your account to be tampered with.
Well obviously someone might have been looking over my shoulder or hacked into my WLAN or there might be some rogue admin but I think it's far more probable some kind of bullshit program.

The reason I thought that exact way right now was because this just happened to me. Microsoft Security Essentials does apparently NOT cover your ass sufficiently. <_<

After a ton of safe mode and other tricks I finally gave up, installed NOD32, and I am now a happy camper again. My online passwords are far safer too!

The problem is if a user hasn't changed it in a period of time (e.g. a week after it was force-expired), it needs to be changed automatically but there are security issues with that, e.g. if the user's email is outdated, but also emailing a new password out is inherently insecure too. There's not really a truly great way to solve that aspect.
Can it not be automatically and silently changed to some random series of characters (without sending out any notifications)? Should that user attempt to log-on in future, he will have to go through the "lost password" routine.
I'd be pissed off if I had to do that. Talk about unintuitive.

No I did not forget my password, you changed it!

EDIT: In addition, passwords that change without notification are usually a sign you have malware. That's not something I'd like to be led to believe in vain.
