You can now use the https protocol to access YWS! That is:

What is HTTPS?

Wikipedia wrote:Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a communications protocol for secure communication over a computer network, with especially wide deployment on the Internet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure

Under https, all information sent between you and the website is encrypted. This is vital for things like submitting credit card information when purchasing items on Amazon, but it's also useful when you submit things like your username and password when logging onto a site like YWS.
  








There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well to worth staying up all night to finish.
