Splitting article

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article is a rather short one to begin with; if one were to split it into two separate articles accessible via a disambiguation page, someone is just going to label the articles as "stubs" (unless someone can substantially increase the length of the article(s)) and they'll inevitably get merged back into one.

Does this make sense or am I alone on this?? I'm not sure how to "officially" suggest that the banner at the top of the article page suggessting it be split into two or more articles be removed, but if I'm not the only one who feels this way then I'll look into it.

Do let me know; if nobody posts anything regarding it in the next few days then I'll begin the process of having that banner removed.

Out of bounds?

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

That little bit about confusing "out-of-band" with "out-of-bounds" and C functions that return -1 is stupid. Did someone write that just to accumulate more edits or something? I don't know why someone would confuse the two, but even if that's a common misunderstanding, a return value of -1 is not "out of bounds" (which usually refers to array boundaries) so the whole connection is tenuous at best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.107.0.102 (talk) 17:20, 13 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

OOB is vulnerable?

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the article the following sentence appears without further explanation: "This added layer of security prevents the likelihood of hackers and malware from compromising access to the complete authentication process, however, this method of authenticating a user is known to be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks." Any hints as to the vulnerability? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.179.25.119 (talk) 18:09, 18 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
