Hey guys, I am making a personal website with a blog. I'd like to have certain entries password protected like I've seen on at least one wordpress. That's no biggie. But I was wondering if there was something really flexible which will allow hidden text to be revealed after a post? For example, the public post may say, "I met my friend B...
My company has a web analytics package which we use for our own and customer marketing campaign tracking. It uses a combination of server logs, JS & image web bugs, cookies, unique cached files, and ETag headers to collect and collate user activity. Recently we have found that a certain (unnamed) privacy-guard application which plugs in...
Google Wave allows two or more participants to speak privately within a wave. When my robot is added to the wave, I recognize the WAVELET_SELF_ADDED event and call the method below. However, nothing happens. I can tell that the code is executed because of the Debug and Info statements in the logs. Is there any reason why the robot d...

I currently run several research-related web-sites with active users, and these sites use some personally identifying information about these users (their email address, IP address, and query history). Ideally I'd release the code to these sites as open source, so that other people could easily run similar sites, and more importantly scr...
I have been searching on google for information regarding application passwords and SQLite security for some time, and nothing that I have found has really answered my questions.

Here's a story: User A should be able to upload an image. User A should be able to set a privacy. ("Public" or "Private"). User B should not be able to access "Private" images of User A.

Hello! I've spent the past hour hacking away at this: I want to write a Javscript routine to programatically untag myself from photos on Facebook. Once it works, I'll run it in the Firebug console and untag myself from all Facebook photos (there's no way to do this through the GUI). I wanted to see if you guys had some advice to get m...
I more and more see these global login-once comment-everywhere systems on every page. I didn't do my homework of tinkering debugging and search before asking, so my question is as follows: You login on site A and leave a comment. Now you go on site B, which uses the same global comment system. At the bottom of the page a request form w...

Often we think that an antivirus or similar is more than sufficient, but many clients could accomplish so many processes that it would be more safe having a real sandbox environment like unix like OS. Better virtual machine like VMWare, VirtualBox and similar sandabox, or there are better ways to keep safe our privacy? ...
