Wow. Procrastination is at the very verge of being closed (4 votes now) but it has 8 members! It's doing much better than I would have ever expected! (For one, it's still alive!)
Fourth close vote was another "Not a real proposal" vote.
Hi,
I have a few folders in which i did not have any index.htm or index.php and i dont want to have one so that i can see all the html files in that. I dont have other extensions other than .htm in those folders.
What will be the security risk in having directory listing enabled?
In other news, I feel kinda lame-ish right now. SOIS is asking why they should make Onebox links generated from HTTPS Wikipedia addresses, actually point to the secure Wikipedia page. I can't think of how to clearly explain any good reasons in a way that will be likely accepted and acted upon.
The only things I can think of it defending against are Big Brother and Firesheep. But since I don't have (and currently am not interested in) a Wikipedia account, I've got no idea how HTTP Wikipedia normally behaves for logged-in users.
Hi there. Apparently a computer system protected by a a login password, e.g. Windows XP, can be easily hacked by someone with physical access to it using methods like this one:

I was on the SuperUser homepage, and noticed that there was no logout link. Came to meta and there's still no logout link. It's now missing on the StackOverflow page too. What's going on?
Apparently, at some point, they decided it would be a good idea to make the "logout" link as unintuitive and inaccessible as half the other useful features on their sites. Plus, it's not even present at all on Meta profiles!
So, if you want to log out while you're on a meta page, you've got to: 1.) Go into your profile. 2.) Click "main user". 3.) *Then* you have a log out button!
I almost never log out anyway, but the point remains that it's a fairly common convention to have the log out feature available on all pages of a website.
Similar to my beef with the /review page and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the /privileges page. These (and I'm sure some others) are very useful pages that aren't easily or intuitively accessible.
