What is the technique to determine if a user is “reading” a page called? (similar to “infinite scroll”) It's much simpler than that: pagination sucks. Also, see UX.se ux.stackexchange.com/search?q=infinite+scroll |

How to exploit DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2012-003 Your .htaccess directive seems odd: why not use deny from all (with an optional allow from your.developmen.ip.address), rather than order allow,deny? More information: kavoir.com/2009/01/… |

Why does Microsoft limit password length? The first sentence is the answer I was looking for! Thanks. (I didn't consider my question a duplicate because I wasn't asking a theoretical question about a planned system, as the linked one does, but a practical question about one that already exists.) |

How do I protect my Gmail account when accessing it via an Android smartphone? @Ramhound I think the point is that if the phone were unlocked, the attacker could get access to the applications which are already authorized on that phone, and then use the fact that he has access to GMail to reset passwords on other sites. |

Does GateKeeper on OS X 10.8 offer any reasonable protection from exploits? Social engineering defeats a lot of security. Not to be ignored, especially in this context, is the sheer appeal of the app: I've been shocked at how many apps in the Android market want my "Location: fine (GPS)" that have no business requesting it. I have the feeling that 99% of those who encounter that permission-request warning just install it anyway because they want to use the app. |

Why do attackers bother (trivially) obfuscating their source code? Ah, so I was on the right track! Thanks, Polynomial. |

What do the various browser “private modes” do? @curiousguy Indeed, the key offering of Tor is its anonymizing proxy, which hides your identity from the server, which private browsing doesn't even attempt to do. |

What do the various browser “private modes” do? +1, especially with the caveat. "Private browsing" is not the same thing as using Tor (torproject.org) or other anonymizing proxy servers, it simply (1) doesn't save history and (2) doesn't save cache to disk (but Chrome, for example, does cache files to memory). |
