Salts are suppose to be considered public. For the most part, they are defenses against rainbow tables and to make an attacker have crack each password individually.

your code can be simplified a bit:

    function sleep_sort (inputs) {
      function child (number) {
        setTimeout(function () {console.log(number)}, Math.pow(2,number))
      }

      for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; ++i)
        child(inputs[i])
    }

    sleep_sort(process.argv.slice(2));

Someone suggested to make an ed simulator in one of the "HTML5 History" abuses, so I went for it over the weekend. Decided I'd share it with you guys. (I never actually used ed since it was way before my time, so if there is anything that I implemented wrong, let me know)

How is it unsafe? (asking because I don't know, not to contradict)

Well as a college student who went on a 2 month coco pebble binge (and only ate that because of sheer laziness), I didn't feel significant effects on brain power. But it does trash your body and leaves you feeling lethargic and lose motivation to actually do anything productive. I think the latter effects are just as dangerous as reduced "brain effectiveness". (this is just my experience, certainly not any scientifically proven study)

it runs on node.js (a server side software), not a browser. So no need to worry about hijacking someones ip.

thats actually not what separation of church and state refers to. What it means is that no church is suppose to run the government, voters are allowed (and suppose to) vote according to their beliefs, including religion. And religions are allowed to have a stance on issues.

The rest sure, you can interpret it that way, but most mormons are very nice people. They don't take the scripture literally and is instead suppose to be symbolisms.

Actually only in the very beginning of the Book of Mormon is the dark skin used to identify "sinners". Later on, as in past the first 50 pages, skin color was a non-issue.

And finally, women can get past their 20s and be perfectly fine people. They can never marry and be normal people. LDS people do put a strong emphasis, if possible, on a traditional "stay home mom and working father", but that is not sexism.

"Any group which sees gays, blacks, and women as fundamentally inferior loses its case for respect in my mind."

It's a good thing the LDS don't believe that. They have actively come out to defend against gay harassment. The injustice to blacks was fixed back when slavery was abolished. Men are taught to cherish and respect women, not that they are inferior. Stop your trolling.

perhaps they are trying to counteract the inevitable backlash from the wikileaks story?

A compromise also could be a hn irc channel, people ask for help there and people qualified (or otherwise) can help them out.
