Digital Inspiration Technology Blog: A Simple Way to See your Passwords Hidden Under Asterisks

A Simple Way to See your Passwords Hidden Under Asterisks

http://www.labnol.org/internet/reveal-hidden-password/25600/

Sep 25th 2012, 22:32



Web browser hide passwords under asterisk characters for improved security.Say you are on the Gmail login page and the web browser, as always, has auto-filled the username and passwords fields for you. →This is convenient because you can sign-in to your account with a click but because you have not been typing these saved passwords for a while now, you don't even remember the Gmail password anymore.All web browsers, for security reasons, mask the password fields in login forms behind asterisk characters thus making it impossible for passersby to see your secret string.There's however an easy workaround that will let you convert those asterisks into the actual password and you don't need any external utilities or bookmarklets for this. Here's how:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxoAndiV4QEReveal the Hidden PasswordRight-click the password field and then choose "Inspect Element." This will open the document inspector window and all you have to do is replace the word "password" with "text" as shown in the video above.What we have done is changed the type of the <input> field from "password" to "text" and hence the password is revealed as the text input fields are never masked.Also, the above demo was created in Google Chrome but you can use it across all browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. In the case of IE, press F12 to open the Developer Tools window and then press Ctrl+B to activate the element selection mode.

Digital Inspiration Technology Blog: Remove the Ghost Profiles from your Facebook Friends List

Digital Inspiration Technology Blog



Digital Inspiration is an award-winning how-to tech blog around all things related to computer software, web applications, mobile and personal productivity.



Remove the Ghost Profiles from your Facebook Friends List

http://www.labnol.org/internet/ghost-facebook-profiles/25579/

Sep 25th 2012, 19:51



Do you have an account on Facebook? Try this. →Go to facebook.com/me/friends and note the number of friends that you have as calculated by Facebook. Now count the number of profiles listed on the page as that is actual number of friends you have on Facebook. The two numbers may not always match with each other.Why would that happen?The reason is simple. If you are friends with John Q Public on Facebook and he later decides to delete or deactivate his Facebook account, that "ghost" profile will still remain a part of your Facebook friends circle. You need to manually "unfriend" all these deactivated profiles for Facebook to reflect the correct friend count.The other problem is these deactivated "ghost" profiles won't show up in your Facebook friends list so how do you break the connection with them? Here's a workaround:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uztqSAftmWADeactivated Facebook Profiles in your Friends ListHit the search box on the page and type a letter. Facebook will now show all friends that have that letter anywhere in the name and the one difference is that Facebook will now list even the deactivated profiles in the search results.You can easily recognize the deactivated profiles as they will have the default Facebook silhouette for their profile picture. Unfriend these non-existent profiles one by one and repeat the search with another alphabet.

Climate change has been good - so far - but its getting worse

Monday 9 May 2011

So says Richard Tol in this new research paper that uses the FUND3.6 model to examine the impact of climate change in the 20th century.

So what is the punchline - overall climate change has been good for the world (on average).


The Economic Impact of Climate Change in the 20th Century

Date: 2011-02

By: Tol, Richard S. J.

URL: http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:esr:wpaper:wp376&r=env

The national version of FUND3.6 is used to infrapolate the impacts of climate change to the 20th century. Carbon dioxide fertilization of crops and reduced energy demand for heating are the main positive impacts. Climate change had a negative effect on water resources and, in most years, human health. Most countries benefitted from climate change until 1980, but after that the trend is negative for poor countries and positive for rich countries. The global average impact was positive.

Mass extinction coming soon?

Saturday 23 April 2011

The possibility of a new mass extinction (the sixth) is always good for a weekend post. Easter bunnies anyone?

Putting an estimation on the arrival at between 300 and 22,000 years gives us little breathing room - the scientists need to tighten up on their sensitivity analysis a little.

Are We At The Start Of A New Mass Extinction? [Environmental Graffiti]

According the World Conservation Union, 51% of known reptiles, 52% of known insects and 73% of known flowering plants are under threat. Many species will become extinct before they are even discovered. In the United States, there are approximately 1,300 endangered species. In 1993, the eminent Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson estimated that we lose approximately 30,000 species a year. We now face the loss of entire genera, and it appears we are the culprit.

../

Many scientists believe that we are actually in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. If this is the case, it will be the first such mass extinction that was not caused by a physical activity such as volcanic activity or a meteor. This mass extinction will be caused by living organisms, and the cause is more of a serious problem than one of its major contributors – global warming. If all species currently threatened actually become extinct, we can expect the sixth mass extinction to properly arrive within the next 300 to 22,000 years.

Unexpected consequences - illegal logging in Russia

Thursday 21 April 2011

The ban on logging in certain areas of China in 1997 following damaging floods has led to a massive increase in illegal logging in Russia. The break up of the Soviet Union only exacerbated the problem.

The Diplomat reports.

This is a standard "tragedy of the commons", "property rights", "weak institutions and rule of law", "corruption" problem. There is no simple solution.

Russia’s Far East Forest Mafia [The Diplomat]

The vast forests of Russia’s Far East are being plundered. Prompted by rising Chinese demand for timber and enabled by a culture of official corruption and fear, environmentalists say a Russian forest mafia is stripping the region of rare and valuable hardwoods, a trade that threatens the world’s last remaining populations of Siberian tigers.

In China, timber is processed into finished consumer products such as veneers, picture frames and wooden toilet seats, many of which end up on shelves in the West, the endpoint of a pernicious and largely unacknowledged global market chain. Despite statements of concern from the Russian authorities, the logging industry is ‘now beyond federal control, and overrun by criminal gangs’, according to Dark Forest, a recent TV exposé of the official corruption at the heart of the trade.
