Could be that the typical Yahoo mail user is less technically savvy than the users of other email providers and more prone to making mistakes which makes it easier for the account to be hacked.

What the author seems to be missing is that most of what we keep secret can be taken by someone with a malicious intent and used against us. This is a major reason some things are best kept private.

Thanks, its not very clear. And the mashing just gets harder as you see the red increase. You just helped some people avoid RSI :)

I'm not sure whether its timing based or whether you just need to mash buttons like hell? If it is turn based it makes sense, but not much I can do with 300 ms latency as I watch the bar flying by getting redder and redder.

edit: Seems like its just button mashing. Seems hard to keep up the mashing with high latency, as the other person just plain reacts almost half a seconds before you.

I meant the attributes that we measure progress by. Quoted straight from the article - "It leads the world in education, banking, shipping and has created a everyday existence of unrivaled cleanliness, safety and stability"

The article seems to be a summary of the consequences of modern living, and the loss of "community", "fun" and "enjoyment" which goes along with it.

Nowhere in the article does the author blame this for the perceived issues he mentions. In fact from his tone, this seems to be a positive in the way Singapore has improved in modern terms.

Paraphrasing from the article, this tool allows the machine to have internet access while being isolated from the local network.
