How is this different from having one password for all sites? If I break the master password I gain access to everything.

The number of higher education institutions more than doubled in Brazil in the last decade.
I'm not an expert, but I think this was largely because of a government program called FIES, which finances private colleges and universities for students and the student will only pay the government a year after receiving the diploma. Payment is divided into very low portions. It is an excellent deal for the student and the educational institution. This program was greatly expanded in recent years and almost every student was able to receive funding.
With the crisis, the program suffered a major cut. I believe this will further increase the spaces not occupied.

Here in Brazil we have no such laws. You can drink anywhere and anytime. I remember drinking till 5am when I was a teenager and bars would stay open until the last customer was out. Today there is still no restriction, but mostly because of labour laws and the costs of maintaining service it's very hard to find open bars after 3am.
* edit: of course I'm talking about my experience living on a medium-sized city (Maceió). I guess bigger cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro you can find a good number of late open venues.

It would not be possible to establish a period to migrate all tokens? This "if you change in a possible feature" is not a good argument when modeling something, in my opinion. That's how AbstractFactoryStrategies are made.

It's impossible to deal with ANY LARGE PROJECT without an IDE.
If you don't use an IDE, your project is not large yet.

1. You cannot be sure they're going to shut this down soon.
2. What did you lose when google closed reader? It gave you plenty of time and options to go to another service.
3. Products have a limited lifetime, deal with it. And not only on the internet.
4. If you think it's an interesting concept you should join it

Definetly slower. Also, there's some features I miss from the old maps, like navigation on the map while on StreetView and the measurement ruler (from labs). But you don't need to switch to Bing as you can still change to the classic google maps.

Does not make sense to me. Lavabit claims that it cannot decrypt customer's data, but if someone else could read what goes through Lavabit server and a client it could decrypt the data?? So, how come Lavabit can't do tha same thing?

Great idea and nice execution!
But I think 2% over sales is too much for a shopping cart API!
And what Snipcart does to avoid fraud? Like the user changing the HTML attributes.

I think it's Google interests to make a simple and faster protocol.

I use last.fm since 2009 and it seems like it's forgotten. The user experience is very sluggish.
So much possibilities and nothing done. Grooveshark proposes to recommend music based on your last.fm account but I don't think it does a very good job.

I just searched for How to make cupcakes and the first three results were instructions of how to make a cupcake, including a video on youtube.
P.S.: I mistakenly typed HOT to make cupcakes

He was just making a point that authentication protocol is a domain choice (from 2-digit passwords to retinal scan).
It's up to the users to trust the domain he is going to use as identity. Just like many people trust Facebook Connect.
