Breaking: HTML5 bugs lets web sites consume your drive
— Open Blogger

The HTML5 Web Storage standard was developed to allow sites to store larger amounts of data (like 5-10 MB) than was previously allowed by cookies (like 4KB). localStorage is awesome because itÂ’s supported in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4+, IE 8+, etc.).
The standard anticipated that sites might abuse this feature and advised that browsers limit the total amount of storage space that each origin could use...
...However, Chrome, Safari, and IE currently do not implement any such Â“affiliated siteÂ” storage limit. Thus, cleverly coded websites, like FillDisk.com, have effectively unlimited storage space on visitorÂ’s computers.

ALL YOUR DRIVE ARE BELONG TO US

...they're thoughtful and caring about your bandwidth like that.

Finding tuna in your dolphin-burger would kind of suck, too.

There's a test site at the link in the OP that'll consume your drive.

131 Soothsayer, I've had it pointed out to me. Not like in the movies, unless you jumped out into the middle. I guess the slope of the shore underneath would be the dangerous part.

132 there's quicksand along the northern coast of France

how thick it is depends on several factors. Mont St Michel is famous for it

Posted by: DOA in Scrambletown, FLA at March 01, 2013 03:06 PM (Dll6b)

133 yeah, quicksand gets worse as you go from the edge of the area towards the center

usually, if you step in you can back out . If you run into it and get too far, you're f*cked

Posted by: DOA in Scrambletown, FLA at March 01, 2013 03:08 PM (Dll6b)

134 I think so. I used about:config, set the search for storage and then right moused on the quota. The .enable was already false for me.

Well, I'm here to tell about it, so no. Late December, I was on vacation in Nicaragua, walking on the beach at a place called Casares. A little creek flows into the Pacific there. I wanted to wade across the creek, so I thought I'd sit on a nearby large rock to take off my shoes and socks. Put a foot on seemingly-firm sand next to the rock, and whoaaa! it went in ankle deep. Got out of there real quick. Must have been an upwelling current of water adjacent to the rock. Sand in the streambed itself was solid.

Last Fall, walking down a seismic line here in Alberta, took a step on seemingly-firm, leaf-littered ground, and both legs went into muck up to my hip pockets. I threw my upper body onto a tussock of grass, and managed to haul myself out. That one was scary, but it was a peat bog, not classic quicksand.

136 This MST3K "Horrors of Spider Island" is damned funny. Bad acting, snark, and women in their underwear all in B&W. What's not to like?

137 'tussock' . Heh

Posted by: DOA in Scrambletown, FLA at March 01, 2013 03:12 PM (Dll6b)
