What is the minimum number of players to justify your presence in a MMORPG?
At wich point, a MMORPG is not "massively" popular enough for you?
Are we talking about server population, or subscriber numbers?

What makes an MMO is how many people I can play with and how well the game encourages socializing. WoW has tons of subscribers but it feels like a singleplayer game.
Vanguard and Darkfall have a smaller user base but feel like real MMOs.
I'm happy with a server population of 300 concurrent online player. If there's not enough people to play with it's a problem.
I dont' care about subscriber number, but it do need to be enough that the game will keep being updated. I do care if the game I'm playing now is making money or not, because if they are lossing money it usually means they are cutting staff.
The number of players subbed or on the server is absolutely zero factor as to whether or not I will play.....In fact, I'd probably argue that most games I have really enjoyed had low pops.
frankly i dont care if the game is a minecraft server with 5 people or a WoW server will a few million. as long as there are enough active people to complete quests that require X people to do, or an active enough chat channel to break up the boring grinding aspects of games its fine.
when you get massive games like WoW where there is 0 contact with players and you spend 1hr++ trying to form a pug party to do 1 simple quest... thats where i draw the line.
its not enjoyable MMO/game if it takes me hours to get enough people to play it.
I've played some really small games with populations as low as 20 or 30 on the server at one time. I think the community attitude is much better because for these players it is their game and they commonly help out with other players. It's also much harder to break rules. Antagonism isn't tolerated.
Honestly I think I prefer the smaller games. Interesting question!

I'd normally say 1K players minimum (at any given time) on the whole server would make it massively enough. But community is an important thing as well.
Right now playing Vanguard again, and that's like 100-150 players at any given time, and the community is VERY GOOD. So that does make up for the lack of numbers

1 player - me. Screw the others. If it's fun alone, I'll be happy to play it as a single player game even if it's categorized as an MMO.
how many does it take to fill a raid party or a battlefied/ground. Thats how many i need with some roatation. not alot, but i don't want to get rusty.
Interesting, most of you dont need a massive numeric amount of player to play a MMO. How odd. This tells a lot about game design for this crowd and the decline of gaming.
well really as long as it's enough when you're online. However, it's a bit more complex as with mmos everythings doing something different- so when you have that- you want more simply to find people doing the same thing as you. I think.
OP is flattering himself I think.
The number of player isn't as important as the interaction that goes on with those players. Or in themeparks where that is not so existant, the presence of other players around you and talking on chat. That said, you can't specify a minimum for just any MMORPG because the designs can be very different. In Neocron I can get by with 30-50 people because you will likely run into them often or need their services in one of the social hubs. SWTOR needs several hundred to a thousand just to feel populated with how the planet maps are spread out and there is only 1 social hub (but of which player interacting is on a minumum). Modern MMOs by their design demand more players but often has them separated.
Stop being surprised when your polls results don't make sense.

You are making me avoid most MMORPGs. I refuse to play another Singleplayer MMO.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Big aspect of games I play is social value. I can sit and play the board game Monopoly with one person and get my social + for the day. I play mmo's because I like the feel of being surrounded by real people. But my favorite social outlet is forums. Strangely, one of the best game communities I ever encountered was from an non-mmo, Sims 2. It's forum community is comprised of artists, inventors, hackers, shoppers, and one rogue (me).
A 100 or less is fine with me might not be with the games company though. The game matters to me less so the fact that I dont see it populated by 1000's of people hanging around the level cap area towns doing nothing is of little importance.
Lower numbers usually mean server merge soon followed by free to play then possibly death though IMO

This answer pretty much sums it up for me as well. It doesn't matter if it's 10 people or 10mio people.
Additionally the MMORPG should at least have some RPG elements and thus feel like and RPG (e.g. NPCs populating the game world as well and not always standing in the exact same spots, Non-Questgiver-NPCs which can be talked to for rumours and bits of advice/lore, etc.).

It is not odd. The true MMO player only needs to have good quality social interaction. The higher the population the higher the chances are of negative interactions. Your not truly playing with 1 million other players your going to only ever interact with a small % of the playerbase.
Alot of MMO players still come from the days of MUD'S, D&D sessions, and older MMO's. You got together with a few like minded people to have some fun cause you all have the game (or its reality) as common enjoyment. There is a lot more quality control in small numbers.

I couldn't answer the question "1500 players (prime time) or less", they just don't make that sort of game any more.
200k was the original "success" number for late 20th century MMOs.
Hard to say what feels "comfortable" exactly, there's way too many factors.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
i always prefer quality over quantity
if there are enough people(willing) to fill a group at any hour of the day then Im happy

Nikon 1 J2Pocket-lint
Hybrid autofocus system is decent, point-and-shoot simplicity for novice users, fast burst mode, small lens size may be a benefit, improved LCD screen resolution compared to J1
Little new compared to predecessor, small sensor image quality a little behind its competitors, difficult menu system for more advanced users, some auto white balance inconsistencies, electronic-only shutter, no hotshoe, no possibility of viewfinder, slow to control aperture/shutter
The Nikon 1 J2 refreshes the original J1 - a compact system camera that had a tepid reception from photo enthusiasts, but succeeded among more casual snappers on the back of a strong advertising campaign - with an updated mode dial, new creative modes and a higher resolution LCD screen. Add a new textured front, some extra colours and cut back the original's price and that's the sum of the differences. Is the Nikon 1 J2 a worthy successor?
The basics
There's little more to add to the above paragraph about what's new in the J2, but for those new to compact system cameras as a whole, including Nikon's 1-series range, take a read of our which mirrorless system camera is right for me article for a better understanding of every manufacturers' range.
The core of the J2's design is focused on ease of use, or, more appropriately, ease of use for novices.
The mode dial on the back of the camera spans motion snapshot, smart photo selector, auto, movie and a new creative option. There aren't the more standard manual options - also known as Programme Auto (P), Shutter Priority (S), Aperture Priority (A), and Manual (M) - as might be found on a DSLR camera; instead you'll need to dig deeper into the menus for those controls.
Nikon has added a "P, S, A, M" option within the F menu but, for starters, many entry-level users won't know what such letters mean, let alone what the "F" stands for (and, no, it has nothing to do with aperture). Secondly the camera defaults to Programme Auto - you'll still need to dig into the full menu to change that to a different mode, which is just as cumbersome as the original J1's controls were for more demanding users. It would have made far more sense to include all four manual modes individually within the F menu if they're not going to appear on the main mode dial.
Furthermore, and despite a rear rotational d-pad, controlling the aperture and shutter is handled using a rear toggle-like control that's slow to jump between settings. As the ISO sensitivity is also in the menus it's difficult to take command of the base manual controls efficiently.
Ignore those outlined blips and it's clear that the Nikon 1 J2 isn't out to mimic those other interchangeable lens cameras also on the market. It tries to do things differently, and this is why the predominant focus is on some of its less-traditional shooting modes.
For example, smart photo selector will shoot a batch of images at up to 60 frames per second (so you'll barely notice it's taken more than one) and auto-selects the best of the bunch. It puts a bit of added ease, or at least some backup, into the hands of the novice snapper.
Creative modes such as soft focus, miniature and new additions including panorama also offer a bunch of ways to enhance images - but this is nothing new considering what other manufacturers have had on offer for some time now. We're glad it's here and has been updated though, as it's a key area for the market this camera is aimed at.
So the basics are that, well, the J2 is rather basic on the face of it. There's a lot of tech nestled into this camera body though, but it's hidden under the guise of a more compact-camera-esque feel. That'll work for some, but more serious shooters aren't going to find this an easy to navigate camera.
Image Quality
The J2's "CX" 1-inch size sensor - which is smaller than those found in Micro Four Thirds and APS-C competitor cameras - is loaded with 10.1-megapixels of resolution. That's the very same sensor as found in the camera's predecessor, so there's no change to components, processing and, therefore, image quality is the same.
The size of the sensor is crucial to this camera. It's the reason the 1-series has smaller lenses than all other serious compact system cameras, which makes for a more compact - yet not too small - overall system.
But the fact the sensor is fairly small has some impact on overall image quality. The difference between the J2 and a Micro Four Thirds camera such as the Panasonic G3 may not be as significant as you might think, but the Nikon does come out a whisker behind its larger-sensor competitors.
As it is the J2's images are decent at the lower ISO settings, with enough detail from ISO 100-400, though this can be scene-dependent. For example, a deep green shade in the background of an ISO 400 shot shows a level of luminance noise that the camera has partially processed out - it doesn't look bad by any means, but it's certainly there. As many compact system cameras' prime purpose is to be the best of the best when it comes to image quality the J2 is a little on the back foot in this regard.
The J2 has an ISO sensitivity that ranges from ISO 100 through to ISO 3200, thus avoiding the super-high sensitivities of some cameras out there (the likes of ISO 25,600 tend to be best avoided whatever camera you're using though). Again, on account of the sensor size, this is probably best as image noise, processing and colour drop-off become noticeable at ISO 1600-3200. That's not to say that these shots aren't useable however, as even ISO 3200 will have its uses, particularly for in-camera black and white shots.
The J2's metering is accurate for the most part and, should it not be, then exposure compensation can be accessed through the d-pad on the rear. That's one of the few options that's quickly available for adjustment.
White balance, however, seemed a little off to our eyes in certain shots. Some morning light turned green bushes more turquoise, while the fruits on a market stall shifted to a paler, greener tone than they appeared to the eyes.
Performance & Handling
Despite a more entry-level target user, the J2 doesn't hold back on including some advanced technology that sees it perform very well for the most part.
It was the first compact system camera series to introduce a hybrid autofocus sensor that combined both contrast-detection and phase-detection autofocus systems. The focus method isn't controlled by the user, instead the J2 will automatically combine its focus types depending on shooting conditions. It's fast whether shooting in daylight, following moving subjects or snapping in dim conditions.
Whether relying on the camera's multi-area autofocus, using the single-point option or focus tracking, the J2 won't let you down. The single-point selection is particularly good because it allows for full edge-to-edge selection that's an unusual find in most cameras.
It's the J2's performance that helps the camera to keep its head above water. Although the shutter is electronic only - there's no mechanical shutter in this model, though this has little to no impact in combination with a CMOS type sensor - the ability to shoot full resolution at 60 frames per second (60fps) is untouched by the nearest competition. In our tests it was possible to capture 11 JPEG Fine frames in the blink of an eye before the camera cuts out to buffer all the data to the SD card.
But despite decent performance the J2 sticks to its entry-level guns when it comes to accessories. There's no hotshoe or accessory port, so there's no way to add an electronic viewfinder or an extra flash. Arguably the target audience of this camera wouldn't want that kind of stuff - but if Nikon's releasing a £750 waterproof housing for the J1 and J2 then, well, that adds to the confusion, non?
The Nikon 1 J2 is a subtle reworking of the original J1. A year has gone by since the original's launch, but this latest model isn't a big enough leap forward to warrant a brand new release.
The J2 still has its good points though: there's the hybrid autofocus system and fast burst mode; but the lack of an intuitive menu system for more demanding users and still no accessory port or hotshoe for flash or a viewfinder will limit the appeal for more demanding users.
Image quality is good enough, but it's still a whisker behind the competition in this regard too. The small sensor and low resolution are now matched (arguably out-performed) by the likes of Sony's RX100 fixed-lens compact camera, so that adds an extra dimension of competition for Nikon's 1-series.
The J2 isn't a bad camera, but against other interchangeable lens models it's just not the best of them. If it was put up against many of the high-end compacts out there then it'd likely be the better choice, and perhaps some users will want to think about it that way.
There's definitely a market for the J2, and we get what it's trying to do. But overall there's just not enough new on offer and it's not ticked all our techy boxes either.

Josh Aas is concerned that once bug 304690 and bug 305374 are fixed (but before
bug 286651 is fixed), users who encounter chrome:// URLs in AIM, IRC, QuickTime,
or email will wonder why clicking the link didn't work and then paste it into
Firefox's address bar.
We agreed that it made sense to block the clicks from external applications
silently, and warn users if they do paste a chrome:// URL into the address bar.
We don't think this vector is especially worrisome on its own, and we're past the point of adding strings.
Restoring lost blocking flag
Bug 358266 reminded me about this while I was in an anti-security-dialog mood, so I thought about how to fix this without adding a new security dialog that won't make sense to 99% of the users who encounter it.
* For data: URLs, the URL should just be loaded with a null principle.
* chrome: URLs aren't as worrisome, IMO, but maybe they could get a (non-privileged!) replacement page similar to the one for about:config.
No strings/UI changes at this point on the 1.5.0.x branch, thus we're not going to block on this, or even try to fix it.
tricking a user via social engineering means to paste 2 urls in a new tab leads to code execution:
and then in the same location pasting
in case some chrome trusts parameters from location.href this may be done with one paste.
having in mind the amount of malware i receive users do stupidier things than pasting in location bar.
and this poses the question: is pasting in the location bar safe.
Blocking, but the decision might be to not actually fix this as per comment 1. I need to sit down with johnath and understand this a little more.
G30rgi, your point is well taken, and it makes me wonder if warning a user at this point will actually do any good. At the point where someone's pasting into a location bar to get a desired effect, do we have any hope of stopping them?
better warn than nothing.
though disabling chrome and such is better imho.
removing in-litmus? until this is resolved, feel free to add it back at that
The amount of Facebook users doing this is on the rise. I've previously seen pages asking to select some text and paste it into the location bar. Today was different though, see the following page:
This is an example of a page which gets users to press keys (Ctrl+C, Alt+D, Ctrl+V, Enter) to copy some hidden code and execute it.
At the moment it is used to invite all friends to a page, but I don't think it will be long before something more sinister happens.
Someone please provide a reason why this should be allowed for the average user. Bookmarklets could be special-cased.
[1] > which gets users to press keys (Ctrl+C, Alt+D, Ctrl+V, Enter) to copy some hidden code and execute it.
[2] Bookmarklets could be special-cased.
if you kill [1] and keep [2] alive probably the attacker's strategy will change to "make the js a bookmarklet and select it"
We should probably just disallow javascript: in the address bar (and not inherit principals for data: in the address bar). We can show something in the error console that mentions a hidden pref, but the default should be that nothing happens (certainly not a yes/no dialog).
As Georgi points out, we'll also need different UI for bookmarks (bug 371923).
As Daniel points out, there seems to be an uptick in "paste this crap into the location bar!" social hacks - which makes me want to see a good solution here. Having said that, though, I don't think this blocks the release, though it would be lovely to see a fix.

+1 ... the social engineering "worms" spreading around Facebook right now are a PITA, and a warning will be lost on users who will tend to click through the warnings to get to whatever is on the other side.
CSP (bug 493857) could potentially help out on a site-by-site basis by blocking outgoing page-loads to javascript: URIs, but I'd much rather see a block on javascript: URIs in the address bar globally.
This is also being discussed on the whatwg mailing list. My vote goes to having a whitelist on by default. Trying to disable the whitelist from the configuration **//strongly//** suggests the user that disabling the whitelist is insecure.
The whatwg thread starts with
+1 -- I started the whatwg thread after getting 1-2 of these facebook worms per week from clueless friends.
Unfortunately most people don't have a clue that they have been spreading these worms because the worms usually show you what they say they'll show you after mailing themselves to everyone in your friends list. And there's so much junk shared on facebook anyway that very few people actually question why someone would be sharing the link with them. As a result, the fan page associated with these worms usually gets tens of thousands of "Like"s before anybody reports it as spam.
Slightly modified repost of my suggestions on the whatwg thread (written about Chrome, but the same principles apply to Firefox):
When you install a .crx extension, you are warned about the security implications of doing so. However if you drag a "javascript:" bookmarklet to the bookmarks bar or type js URLs into the address bar, you are not given a security warning -- but bookmarklets have access to the security context of whatever page is currently open when they are clicked. The inconsistency of security treatment of extensions and bookmarklets is a big source of potential vulnerability.
Proposed solutions:
(1) The same warning should be given when dragging bookmarklets to the addressbar as is given when installing .crx extensions.
Given the success of these exploits so far on facebook, the use and nefariousness of them will likely only increase.
This hasnt been a problem with just Facebook .. http://support.mozilla.com/pt-BR/forum/1/508843 . There are many cases like this. Even my friends and me(once) have been affected by it. If you search for "Orkut javascript dangerous" you will get many results.
I took a screencast of a recent Facebook page that was doing this if anyone wants it e-mailed to them (it's too big to upload here and tinyvid.tv didn't accept it for some reason).
I also copied the code that would be run if you followed the instructions to the end (which it seems tens of thousands of users did).

If anyone can fully decipher that I'd be interested to see it (not sure if it's really relevant to this bug though, so probably best to e-mail it).
Daniel: you could try YouTube or Vimeo...
Given the active attacks, I think we really need to do something here for Firefox 4. (Hopefully not a warning dialog!)
I don't think we'd want a warning dialog, and a whitelist seems hard to maintain. Feels like the easiest thing to do is:
- disable JS in the URL bar by default
- add a pref (maybe in Content) to allow people to turn it on
Developers can find it and turn it on, most people never need to see it.
Question, though: wouldn't that just morph the attack into "drag this into your location bar and click it"? How is this different from bookmarklets?
I agree that disabling js in the location bar and letting developers switch it on as needed is the most sane default.
Dragging to the bookmarks toolbar is how boorkmarklets are normally created. And yes, an attack could suggest that a user do this. Therefore bookmarklets should be off by default too -- or off with a whitelist of originating sites. It will be easier to create a sensible whitelist for bookmarklets than for arbitrary javascript pasted into the addressbar, especially since with a drag/drop operation the actual originating site is always known.

I presume that such a whitelist would include my website, and Jesse's website, and all the new web service sites that come out and provide bookmarklets for users, and ...
(I don't think it's easier, is what I'm saying ;) )
Why can't the normal malware/phishing protection handle this type of attack?
Malware/phishing protection *should* be used to handle blacklisting/whitelisting, since the engine for that is already in place. However this vulnerability adds something unique that should be separately targeted from black/whitelisting of source domain, specifically it is a wide open door for cross-site scripting attacks. Black/whitelisting is a cat and mouse game. The underlying vulnerability should be addressed too.
Since there are already trusted registries for extensions and greasemonkey scripts, bookmarklets should have their own peer-reviewed registry too, and then whitelisting would be a whole lot easier.
Also the extra complication of tricking somebody into installing an ActiveX control and agreeing to the security implications meant that that was never a really viable way of infecting people's computers on a large scale. Just requiring someone to agree to give up security guarantees whenever they create a bookmarklet would be scary enough to dissuade lots of users from doing it.
I'm not too worried about Facebook attacks shifting to bookmarklets. The attacker would first have to lure you off of Facebook (because Firefox, unlike Safari, does not allow dragging the text "javascript:alert(5)" to the bookmarks toolbar) and then give users complicated instructions. Let's solve one problem at a time.
IE9 will mitigate this security concern by stripping "javascript:" out of url bar pastes. I'm not sure that's enough, but it helps.

Margaret: thank you for pointing me to the right bug, I'm sorry I didn't find it when I did my dupe search.
Everyone: please consider disabling javascript: URLs in the address bar, and pushing this as a security update. An easy way to try out scripts is Ctrl+Shift+K (the new Web Console in Firefox 4), which auto-focuses on an input box that takes JavaScript, with the added benefit of auto-completion. Given the Web Console, I really don't see any point in allowing javascript: in the address bar.
More complex solutions for bookmarklets can be figured out while scammers rewrite their instructions to target bookmarklets or the Web Console.
Thank you so much!
It would be nice to see this pushed on a unified front, with all major browser vendors agreeing to standardize on disallowing JS URLs being pasted into the address field to prevent XSS attacks...
Luke: I haven't had much success with Chrome -- http://crbug.com/81697
I'm sure they'll follow suit if both FF and IE fix the problem, though. And, given the current market shares, having FF and IE fixed would take care of most of the spam.
Also, I don't think developers will migrate to Chrome for the ability to type javascript: in the location bar :)
Victor: I filed an almost identical bug report and got a similar response. In the end they basically hinted that I might have more luck with Firefox :/
Rob/Patrick: now that scratchpad has landed on nightlies, do we think that it might be a better way for developer-users to enter direct JS URIs into the product?
FWIW, I still wonder about the value of a pref-based approach here. As per comment 6 and comment 21, though, I can't help but wonder if it's not just a band-aid. If someone's convinced me to copy and paste a URI in my location bar, would I not just treat any warning as a "whatever" button? Further, would I not follow instructions to first flip a preference and then paste the URI?
I would almost rather see something like:
- implement the IE9 approach (strip javascript: from paste buffer when pasting into location bar)
- if a user manually enters javascript: into the location bar, pop a dialog explaining (sample text below) that this is inherently dangerous, and should be done using a developer tool like the scratchpad, instead
Suggested text:
"JavaScript may not be run directly from the location bar. If you are a developer, you can use the ScratchPad to run JavaScript in the web context."
[ Copy to ScratchPad ] [ I don't understand ]
if the user clicks "I don't understand", then just ditch the string, don't copy to the scratchpad, wash your hands and walk away :)
BTW, is this entirely about javascript: now? That's what the conversation has centered on, but the bug also refers to data and chrome URIs.
There are a few options for legitimately running JS now. The Web Console and Scratchpad to name a couple. I don't think there's much value in detecting a javascript: URI and offering to copy that to another tool for execution as people may do it anyway, ignoring the "I don't understand" option.
I think removing javascript: from the location bar entirely is probably the best option.

Mike, see comment 9 for an example of how most of the attacks I've come across work. They don't explicitly ask the user to paste something into the location bar. Ctrl+C, Alt+D, Ctrl+V, Enter (with animations to draw your attention away from the briefly highlighted URI in the location bar).
It's pretty difficult to get someone to flip a preference that way. It would be pretty easy to get them to double-tap Enter which would bypass the warning, but only if "Run script" was the default option (which it shouldn't be). Getting someone to press Enter, Tab, Enter without them seeing the dialog in the meantime is quite difficult. I think the best option is to prevent javascript: URIs from being executed in the location bar.
Bookmarklets could get a dialog, or be left as is for now (bookmarklets exist to save time, having a warning every time would probably get annoying). I don't think they pose the threat that the many social media human-hacks do at present.
Web developers can use the console, which has advantages over directly using the location bar anyway (don't lose the current location, warnings and exceptions displayed).
Watch the attackers work around the defenses by getting users to type javascript: manually (in IE9 and Chrome this works, apparently). Then it seems likely we will get to watch attackers engineer users into opening the "Web Console" and typing away.
Maybe the better place to defend is elsewhere. Can we run the javascript: URL typed or pasted into the location bar (and only in this case) in a sandbox? We do not want to break javascript: links and src attribute values in the page. We do not want to break bookmarklets (see bug 371923 and assume the user vetted the bookmarking step).
In a sandbox? I think the only generally useful usecases for javascript bookmarklets are things that interact with the contents of the current page, which are precisely the sorts of usecases that cause the problems described in this bug. The problem is that the pasted javascript didn't originate in the current page, so this bug basically describes an XSS vulnerability. Chrome extensions have the same issue, they're written in JS but the JS needs access to at least the currently-viewed page in most cases.
Personally I would be fine completely disabling both bookmarklets and js URLs, most users don't even know what either function is.
Actually on the sandbox idea, what if javascript run in the addressbar and/or bookmarklets could access the *current* page contents (i.e. the DOM), but otherwise ran in an incognito context, so that any actions they initiate have no access to cookies? Would that prevent the sorts of attacks described without disabling too much useful functionality?
(In reply to comment #38)
> In a sandbox? I think the only generally useful usecases for javascript
> bookmarklets are things that interact with the contents of the current page
Brendan specifically suggested the sandbox idea for typed and pasted URLs only ("and only in this case").
The scripts currently run with the same privileges as the currently-loaded page as far as I can tell, but any access is too much. The common attacks have nothing to do with cookies so that restriction wouldn't help. They usually set the user's Facebook status to "do this to see who's viewed your profile" with the same description on how to get it to "work", and thus the hack spreads.
In reply to comment 37, I agree that it wouldn't take much more effort to get a user to do Ctrl+Shift+K, Ctrl+V, Enter, Ctrl+Shift+K but it's at least more visually obvious that something is happening.
I think the first and simplest fix that can be done here that doesn't prevent a more complex solution from coming later is to just forbid loading a URL with javascript: at the beginning (or any nested schemes that allow scripting, if there are any). Something in urlbarBindings.xml maybe, returning early in handleCommand and using handleRevert so that no load or script-execution occurs and the location bar just goes back to the currently-loaded URL.
The current attacks don't just update a user's status, some of them actually mail themselves to all your facebook friends using facebook messaging -- hence the reliance on cookies.
> Can we run the javascript: URL typed or pasted into the location bar (and only > in this case) in a sandbox?
Pretty trivially, yes. Not sure it's all that useful to have a way to do that, though.
Created attachment 532089 [details] [diff] [review]
Drop the load and pretend nothing happened
Here's a quick patch which just ignores the request to load a javascript: URL and reverts the location bar contents. I don't have a proper development environment set up so it's just a patch I hacked up inside omni.jar.
I can see a small benefit in sandboxing the load so that people could evaluate javascript:alert(parseInt(0xFF)); and other expressions but people might then not realise that the behaviour has changed and wonder why their document.getElementById('foo')... isn't working.
djcater, please see the patches in bug 656433 and my comment on the first one ;)

> djcater, please see the patches in bug 656433 and my comment on the first
> one ;)
Yes, I've seen it now, thanks. Would have saved me a bit of time if someone had thought to link to that bug from this one earlier!
A warning dialog is WONTFIX in favor of bug 656433 and bug 656823, for the reason stated most clearly in comment 13.
Beltzner's idea in comment 33 about suggesting Scratchpad is interesting. It might be reasonable to do in the future, but not with Scratchpad in its current state.
The more general discussion seems to be in bug 527530 and on mailing lists.
(In reply to comment #38)
> In a sandbox? I think the only generally useful usecases for javascript
> bookmarklets
We are not talking about bookmarklets, those can be vetted before being recorded as bookmarks and allowed without sandboxing.

> which are precisely the sorts of usecases that cause the problems described
> in this bug. The problem is that the pasted javascript didn't originate in

Yes, but provenance of the javascript: URL can tell the difference between this and the bookmarklet case, and also tell the sandbox what capabilities to remove in mediating to the underlying DOM.
> Personally I would be fine completely disabling both bookmarklets and js
> URLs, most users don't even know what either function is.
Noted, not going to break these, esp. bookmarklets. Everyone is willing to break working and established features for some new and supposedly better way, but we need proof the new way is better before we break the old way, and where we can, we should mitigate without complete breakage.
> Actually on the sandbox idea, what if javascript run in the addressbar

Now you are talking. This is the kind of mediation I was thinking of. But see how the approach matters? Instead of "break now, maybe something better will replace (bookmarklets|typed-in-javascript-urls)" we have a more productive and precise discussion about the threat and a possible solution.
Chromium 13: defenses for self-XSS via javascript URLs
This is an interesting area because it's hard to know what detail of instruction it is possible to trick a user into following. It is also hard to measure success until a large percentage of installed browsers have the defense (thus forcing the attackers to adapt their approach).
See bug 656433.

"Needs some extra documentation to be successful"
I really like the idea, but I have a difficult time in execution without any other documentation. A video would also be wonderful. Even a crappy diagram would suffice. The reader does what they can with what they have to work with.
Add a URL with a PDF or 2 min video. I'd even pay extra for the privilege to view it.
Awesome idea, lacks visual content. Description only goes so far.

An organization of current students called the "International Exchange Assistants" support international students. Through programs of exchange and interaction, the group helps international students with their concerns as they begin life in their new environment and helps them make the most of their studies and life at Teikyo University. The student-led group provides support for Japanese language lessons and holds welcome parties and sports events to build strong bonds with international students.
The Study Abroad Center has regular staff that can speak English, Chinese, and Korean. The center strives to provide an environment where international students who are unsure of their Japanese language ability can lead fulfilling lives on campus and receive consultation for any concerns they may have.
Teikyo University supports its international students through the introduction of a "Student Housing Compensation System" that provides referrals for housing for which the university serves at the guarantor. The "College Town" is relatively close by to the Hachioji campus, located 40 minutes away by bus and train in a quiet, nature-filled environment.

Jeffco Open Space has announced the dates of three meetings to solicit public input about the issues facing the popular Elk Meadow off-leash area in Evergreen.
Interstate 70 reopened in both directions Tuesday afternoon after an avalanche on the west side of the Eisenhower Tunnel had closed the highway's westbound lanes for much of the day.
The slide occurred about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday during avalanche mitigation work between mile markers 205 and 210.
A technical crew from West Metro Fire rescued a hiker and her dog Monday afternoon near Dinosaur Ridge.
The pair reportedly had slid off the Dakota Ridge Trail in the Dinosaur Ridge area near I-70 and Highway 93, according to West Metro spokeswoman Ronda Scholting.
"… She somehow slid off the trail and (couldn't) … get herself out," Scholting said.
An Evergreen man was issued a summons for prohibited use of a firearm Sunday evening after residents on Forest Hill Road reported hearing gunshots.
Jeffco sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer said several neighbors reported hearing gunfire about 5:30 p.m., with the first call coming in at 5:15 p.m. Deputies reportedly found two men, both in their 30s, shooting rifles recreationally at a residence in the 4600 block of Forest Hill Road.
After a potbelly stove ignited the ceiling of a home on Edelweiss Circle last week, Evergreen Fire/Rescue is reminding area residents to have their chimneys cleaned and to verify that all smoke detectors and fire alarms are in working order.
According to EFR spokeswoman Stacy Martin, the department was called about the house fire on Edelweiss Circle at 3:15 a.m. Jan. 2 after the homeowners smelled smoke.
Opponents of the proposed rezoning at the northwest corner of C-470 and Alameda Parkway near Dinosaur Ridge are organizing a protest ahead of a Jan. 17 vote by Jeffco's county commissioners.
According to Eric Brown, a leader of the opposition group Save Dinosaur Ridge, the protest will take place outside the Jeffco courthouse from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Jan. 11 and is the group's latest effort to head off approval of the rezoning, which will bring auto dealerships, hotels and more retail to the scenic Rooney Valley.
Champagne toasts. Kisses and hugs. Cheers and noisemakers. Balloon drops. Music.
Mountain area residents and visitors rang in 2017 at local watering holes in the absence of Skate the Lake, which was scuttled by inadequate ice conditions. Some patrons stayed until the big moment at midnight; others headed home early. But either way, many said they were excited to ring in the new year surrounded by family and friends.
8 p.m., the Little Bear
Former Jeffco district attorney Scott Storey was arrested early Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence.
About 12:30 a.m. that night, Storey, 69, of Littleton was exiting the parking lot of the Platte River Bar & Grill, 5995 S. Santa Fe Drive, when his vehicle collided with another car, according to court records. Littleton police responded and spoke with Story at the scene.
Take the following quiz:
• Koalas are most closely related to: bears, kangaroos or raccoons.
• How many hours a day do koalas usually sleep? 6, 10 or 20.
• What is the protection status of koalas?
If you answered kangaroos, 20 and threatened, not only do you know a lot about koalas, but you can answer all three levels of questions about them in a new board game called Traveling Animals.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this online news site used to contain stories mostly written by kids but now posts articles from other Scholastic publications, as well as advice geared toward teachers. There are still links on this site to stories written by kids in the Scholastic Kids Press Corps and some articles -- such as one on overcoming being bullied and a rescued lion -- that will appeal to kids. But the general tone on this site is that it's meant for teachers, especially for teachers to find stories (and order Scholastic books and magazines) to share with their students.

What's it about?
Grade school and junior high school students can read about and comment on today's top stories at SCHOLASTICNEWSONLINE.COM, an informative, interactive -- although not particularly flashy or attractive -- news Web site. Part of the larger Scholastic publication network, the well-regarded education company is tapping into the habits of kids who go online for everything -- whether to find out what's going on with friends or in the world. The site has other features, too, such as a link to the Scholastic store, news archives, and the \"ask the kid reporter\" blog which helps kids interested in journalism get an inside peek into what it's like to report and write a story.
Is it any good?
This site is a great clearinghouse for teachers who are looking for a variety of current events articles that will appeal to their students on subjects ranging from animal news and math-related stories to sports and weather.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about why it's important to know what's happening in our nation and the world. Is your child's media world focused mosly on watching sports, IM-ing friends or reading about pop culture, like what's the latest news about Hannah Montana's boyfriend? Encourage them to expand their daily choices to include checking out what's going on in the world at large.
Even though Scholastic is an educational resource-based business, it's still a business. Talk to your kids about how Scholastic markets their products to them, both on and off the Internet, as well as in and out of the classroom. Read Common Sense Media's Selling to Kids Tips.

Look behind the headlines and the "good news" for the UK from the International Monetary Fund and the jobs market wasn't actually too much to celebrate. The IMF's World Economic Outlook raised its forecast for the UK by more than for any other country, by 0.6 per cent in 2014 to 2.4 per cent and up 0.2 per cent to 2.2 per cent in 2015. But this is slow growth that likely will not be enough to lift living standards much at all. Even if the economy does grow by the amount predicted, by the time of the election in 2015 it will have barely restored the output level at the start of the recession.
The recession will have lasted three years longer than any other in the past 100 years. And don't forget the IMF forecasts are still markedly lower than those for the United States of 2.8 per cent and 3.0 per cent which, in output terms, continues to strongly outperform the UK. By the start of 2015 if the IMF's forecasts come to fruition, US output will be over 8 per cent higher than at the start of the recession compared with the UK's big fat zero.
But then there were those good jobs numbers. Again, the big story remains that real wages continue to fall; average weekly earnings growth remained unchanged at 0.9 per cent, so real wage growth continues to fall at over 1 per cent a year. Improvements in the three-month rolling average of employment and unemployment though grabbed the headlines.
Compared with June to August, the data for September to November suggested that employment rose by 280,000 while unemployment fell by 167,000, with the unemployment rate dropping to 7.1 per cent. The numbers of part-time workers who wanted full-time jobs and the numbers in temporary jobs wanting permanent jobs also fell, but the number of inactives who couldn't find a job rose a little, by 10,000.
But as the table shows, the single monthly data used to create the rolling averages painted a less rosy picture – and puts in question where we go from here. The three-month rolling average of employment in June-August of 29,871,000 compared with 30,051,000 for July-September shows a rise in employment of 280,000, despite the fact that on the month, employment fell by 357,000. Similarly, despite a big fall in the quarterly unemployment rate, the latest monthly estimate jumped from 7.0 per cent to 7.4 per cent; in contrast unemployment on the month rose by 100,000. I should caution of course that these monthly numbers are highly volatile; the big question remains whether the September and October numbers were just pleasant outliers and a harsher reality is now about to return, or perhaps we are just headed on a delightful but bumpy downward trend.
The sharp fall in the unemployment rate to 7.15 per cent from 7.69 per cent means that the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee is faced with the prospect that one of its triggers for raising interest rates may soon be breached, even though for once, inflation is at target. In an important speech rate-setter Paul Fisher argued that, "even if the 7 per cent unemployment rate threshold were to be reached in the near future, I see no immediate need for a tightening of policy". He noted the MPC is a long way from tightening because of the levels of output and employment, not their growth rates. After nearly six years since the start of the crisis, the level of output in the economy is still 2 per cent below its peak in 2008. "A conservative extrapolation of the pre-crisis trend would suggest that UK output is some 15-20 per cent below where it would have been expected to be by this time in the absence of the crisis." That seems right.
A rate rise would not be good for the Tories' electoral prospects despite George Osborne's suggestion this week that he had no problem with it. This is trying to have it both ways given that he warned in 2011 that a 1 per cent rise in lending rates "would add £10bn to household mortgage interest repayments and £7bn to business costs". Interestingly, despite better economic news, the Tories have seen no improvement in their poll ratings, presumably because living standards are still falling for most people.
I should add as an aside note that the fall in the unemployment rate remains a major puzzle. No forecasters and economists, including me, had expected to see so much of the strain being taken by wages. There was nothing in the data pre-recession to make anyone think that wages in the UK were more flexible than those in the US. I suspect a good deal of the reason is because variable rate mortgages in the UK resulted in reductions in mortgage payments which meant wages were more flexible. The drop in mortgage payments cushioned the shock. A public sector pay freeze in the UK wasn't repeated in the US, plus fixed interest rate housing loans in the US meant mortgage payments didn't fall over the cycle.
The concern is that in the recovery phase the UK is highly interest rate sensitive. Wages are unlikely to rise much until the unemployment rate approaches full employment which in my view is likely to be below 5 per cent and we are a long way from that. Unless real wages rise hugely over the next 18 months the Labour Party will be able to ask the question on election day in May 2015, "are you better off under the coalition than you were in May 2010?" The answer will almost inevitably be "no". Sorry George.

There is a dedicated committee in 29 Palms working to make walking trails, equestrian trails, bicycle trails and yes --- Off-Highway Vehicle trails!!!, a reality. --- It's the good folks with the "29 Palms Community Trails Program" and they've done some very serious work already. They are asking now for your input. Opportunity knocks. They want to know what you want. They want to know what you think is needed.
Friends of Giant Rock have been aligning themselves with like-minded organizations throughout the state. Recently we have attended a meeting with property owners/riders in Rosamond whose rights to ride are being attacked by the COW's. The cow is using the same tactics by which they duped our supervisors into approving an unnecessary ordinance.
We had a respectable turnout for the March 7th ride-poker run-drag race. Forty two daring adventurers and 19 vehicles of various configuration made the grueling run that stopped half way at a custom made, permanent BBQ pit to burn burgers, dogs, burrito's and carne asada by VP Chris and Mrs. Miller rounded out the grill. Then off to Emerson dry lake for 300ft walked off drag strip. Everyone got in the act and had a great time. From my angle the Nissan v6 rail was hard to beat, Jeeps, buggies, bikes and trucks all gave it a try. The Prez. Lopez sayz thanks to all for a fun safe weekend. Ryan Digner was beat out by grandpa Bob to split half the poke pot with FOGR. Look for another such run with similar, but not the same activities sometime in May.
Feinstein needs input. Act Now!
We need to get on board with this today! Send her email of your usage of Johnson Valley and its value to you and your friends. Also send her an email each time you go out to visit JV, send photos if you have them. Continue until a decision is made.
The Partnership for Johnson Valley urges users of Johnson Valley to email Senator Feinstein's office with a personal message to keep the 189,000-acre multiple-use area as public land
Public Safety Update
Morongo Basin
At the December 3rd Commission meeting, the Commission and the Division received letters from residents of Wonder Valley describing OHV conflicts and private property trespass. The Division has received additional emails and letters from these reporting parties and from other Morongo Basin residents. The Division's Public Safety Team (Superintendent John Pelonio and Supervising Rangers Kelly Claar and Vince Anibale) was assigned to investigate the complaints.
Dear Members and Potential Members
There are two cases that FOGR has identified as having potential to turn the heads of county supervisors in favor of changing our SAD ordinance 3973. One case for staging citation 28.0404 and one for written permission needed on private property 28.0403. Both have been tried, found guilty and are currently in the appeal stage.
From: Advocates for Access to Public Lands
Hello Folks,
As you know, AAPL supports the Partnership For Johnson Valley (PFJV) in
their efforts to save one of the best OHV areas in the California desert.
They have created the petition above to convince Marine officials of the sheer numbers
of JV users who will be harmed by the loss of JV to OHV use.
They have collected 1200 signatures in the first days of the petition and let's double that amount for them!
Part of the Governor's latest budget proposal is a $90M loan from the OHV Trust Fund to help balance the state budget!
Although we understand that the state is in the grip of the worst budget crisis in history, this loan is not a solution to the problem!
Why? The law requires that this loan must be repaid within 2 years, so all this does is delay a real solution to the budget problem.
Similar tactics have been tried in the past. In recent years the state budget was often balanced by borrowing billions from constitutionally protected trust funds reserved for highway construction and repair of local streets and roads. Local governments united to oppose this borrowing gimmick and the governor and legislature agreed to stay away from borrowing from local government trust funds this year. Unfortunately this commitment does not extend to our OHV Trust Fund.

Top Picks : Sports Current Affairs , News , October 2013 Current Affairs , 2013 Current Affairs
The Marylebone Cricket Club on 1 October 2013 released the 5th edition of the 2000 Code in which there are some of the important changes of cricket rule including the change in the No-Ball Rule.
The Law 24.6 of ICC's playing conditions explains that with effect from now, in case a bowler breaks the wicket in the due course of delivery stride, it would be called the No Ball. Another change in the law is in context with giving OUT to the 'Handling of the Ball.' Any player involved in the illegal handling of the ball shall be given OUT on the basis of 'Obstructing the field'.
Besides, new set of the animations were also aimed for helping the young players as well as the casual fans. These animations were released in Hindi, English and Urdu and focused on five most misunderstood and complex aspects of the Laws. These included Run-Out of the non-striker and LBW. It is important to note that this is for the first time that the Marylebone Cricket Club portrayed the Laws like this.
Major changes to the Law
• A new No ball Law (24.6), which makes it a No Ball in case the bowler breaks the wicket during the delivery
• The batsman with a runner will not be given an OUT in case he is stumped off a No Ball. Earlier, he would have been given the Run Out.
• Now, it is not possible to score the Runs after making the second strike. Earlier, Runs could be made after the lawful second strike only in case the overthrow had occurred
• Practicing on the field has been ruled out completely. This means that a bowler is not allowed to practice the ball to the fielder as a loosener, even if it bounces on the ground
What is the Marylebone Cricket Club?
• Marylebone Cricket Club is the cricket club in London and was founded in the year 1787.
• It is the biggest cricket brand of the world and is based at the Lord's Cricket Ground in St John's Wood, London.
• MCC was initially the governing body of cricket in Wales as well as in England and across the world.
• In the year 1993, almost all of its global functions were transferred to the International Cricket Council (ICC). Its English governance was passed to the Test and County Cricket Board (TCCB).
• In the year 1788, it revised its Laws of Cricket and continued to do so from time to time. It is the copyright holder of the Laws of Cricket.
