Above the header in your folder you'll see the following buttons:

"All mail", "Unread", "Personal", "Notifications", "Mailing lists" and pinned sorting.

Please see my response to the GP and stop the speculation.

We did not refuse to reply. We have contacted the author to find out who he contacted within the company, because it was the first time we have heard about it!

Edit: I work for Opera Software/FastMail.FM

FastMail runs on completely separate infrastructure and there were no indications of a compromise.

However to be on the safe side we've taken a number of precautions including blowing away every machine (fai-project.org FTW!) and updating credentials everywhere.

I asked myself the same question years ago with TV and I figured in the end that watching TV was a complete waste of my time. These days I probably watch under 10 minutes a week in total if that.

Undo send?

In order to do that, we would have to hold all outbound emails until a delay threshold was reached... I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

His birthday was last week, and we considered it but put it off because of the temper tantrums. The reason why we're still undecided is like you say there are definitely some positives there. Word recognition at 3.5 is great!

What we tried last night was to explain the sequence. Physical playing, dinner, then the phone. We also put a timer on which went off when he had to pack away the phone. It's funny, 5 minutes before the alarm went off he announced that he was finished and to pack it away.

Hopefully it wasn't a once off but we're going to be persistent.

Yeah, I'm totally cool with them being obsessed about something possibly constructive... but I don't think that's possible at 3?

So far, reading has been passive. I'm liking the idea of prompting for the character's thoughts. That sounds really interesting and positive. Thanks for the suggestions.

And you're damn right. Parenting is not easy!

We didn't want a blanket ban because of the aggression, but we've now got a couple more avenues to try now. Hopefully something will work.

Will definitely be drawing pictures tonight. Since he still can't read, a visual schedule seems like a good idea.

Thanks for the comment.

You're right. I think the lessons of moderation and delayed gratification should be a goal and not a blanket ban.

Finding things equally as fun is hard. He knows what he wants... what works is distracting him from what's in front of him to something else not equally as fun. We'll work on that.

As for reading, he really enjoys books but just not nearly enough as gaming. He's favorite is "The little yellow digger" and he's even memorised it. Highly recommend it.

Although I agree that exposure to computers is great for kids, how young is too young?

I've got a toddler (3yo) who plays games on my phone. He's actually pretty good at some of the platform games on it (astonishingly good considering his age), but we're questioning his maturity with phone use.

He asks my wife all day long "when is daddy coming home", only to hear "can I play with your phone" when I walk through the door. I'll let him play with it for about half an hour just before dinner, but telling him to pack it away to eat dinner is like a declaration of war.

We've gotten to the point that we've banned him outright using my phone because of the anger/temper that it's caused. I know the links of bad behaviour and sugar consumption, but we're thinking that phone use is worse.

Anybody else seen this behaviour, or is it just bad parenting?

Finally reveals the true identify of Satoshi Nakamoto, Nobody believes him.

I disagree. I think it's more like how microwaves were in the 50s. Some people have probably heard of them, but are still suspicious of their usefulness...

And then one day everyone has one, and you can buy them at your local appliance store.

I think that unless you're fabricating daily, sharing a machine is a good idea.

Or you could go for a paid service without the ads. And we don't sell your data :)

Here's the one that I wrote a while back in Perl that we use at Opera:

It's only statement based, but it is serving us well.

True, but you can only go so far down the rabbit hole until you think you've done enough due diligence to remove as much risk as you feel comfortable with.

The problem of having to type in your password on an unsecured machine still exists.

To access files in this situation, a better approach would have been to upload the file to a webserver. You can then safely download it from the library computer without anything being compromised.

Doesn't help if they target your provider:

You couldn't use a USB key instead?

Already on the market - YubiKey.

Maybe it's just me but I only trust computers I control.

If you don't have root on a box, consider it pwn3d with keyloggers listening to every juicy password you type. Take that as your friend's laptop, a library computer or even your parent's Windows XP box...

Trust no one, Mr. Mulder.

Nice. I'm not interested in joining a startup, but meeting local fellow geeks for coffee or lunch to shoot the breeze would be awesome... kind of like a GeekGrindr :)

A ChessGrindr would also be another cool idea!
