Yes. Obscurity works. I mean it's not perfect, but otherwise, why put camo paint on tanks? Why not just paint them bright pink and let them stand on their own defensive capabilities?

That's fine. He just marginalized a few billion people. It's like only hiring men. Those competing with you will eat your lunch. Edit: I should say that your competitors will have a larger, thus more talented, pool to pick from. That's what

I have no cookie and I don't want one :) they also complain that I don't let them execute JavaScript in my browser: You cannot view or edit interests when you do not have an 'id' cookie. Opt-in to get a cookie. JavaScript is disabled. Enab

Perhaps they believe that FaceBook is the Internet? Many people actually think that. I recall the days when Grandma swore that AOL was the Internet. Facebook has displaced them.

Seconded. Several billion of us don't use FaceBook.

I really enjoy C++. It's a "live and let live" language. Pick what you want to use and be happy. Sure, not everyone picks the same pieces to use, but like in everything, humans will have differences and C++ allows and encourages that. You c

OTP's are much more popular with European banks. Companies such as Vasco sell lot's of OTP fobs there. It's gaining traction here in the US as well though.

If they used your trademark (registered or not) then they broke the law. If they wrote an app that looks like yours, most likely they've done nothing wrong. Many apps have only one look. Calculators for example. They all have similar or the

You can get a VPS really cheap these days. Less than 200 bucks a year. I highly recommend it. It costs more than shared hosting, but the complete control makes up for it. I've been using Linode since Oct and have been very happy. For cheap

Just remember all the algorithms and data structures they taught in class (the push stuff). That'll help you some day when you need to scale (while you're pulling).

They've emailed me twice now asking me to interview. A guy named Dan McCarthy. I said no at first (back in 2007) but I said yes this time (just a few weeks ago). I made it by the first phone screening. They asked really simple questions. I'

I wrote a passive key stroke logger (back in 2007) called 16k to demonstrate how these type of key stroke loggers work. No one has ever paid it much attention, until yesterday when several anti-keylogging softwares discovered it and realize

Setup a tunnel. There are many great tunnel brokers available. It's free too. Then add a AAAA (DNS) record for your website. IPv6 isn't nearly so scary once people see that the big bad hex numbers can have names too: $ dig +short AAAA ip6.1

Yes, you are right. I was confused. BMW engines deliver pigs to markets so people can eat. One can buy and sell virtual pigs on FaceBook by playing Farmville. To me, actual bacon is more valuable than pretend bacon.

I would think that hundreds of years of engineering (mechanical and electrical) and solid products used all across the globe would be more valuable than a social website, but maybe I'm wrong.

Wow... neat list. FB is not more valuable than BMW, AIG or Nokia. There's just no way. And if it turns out that they are, then something is fundamentally wrong.

I used to work with graduate EE students in a research lab. We had male and female students. They joked around a lot. Nothing ever too serious. If you pulled your weight, you had everyone's respect. One day, a top male student came into the

Check the user agent. Many bot writers never bother to change it. PycURL, Java, urllib, etc. If you only want humans on your website, only accept browsers used by humans. Sure the botter's may clone IE's user-agent string, but you'll still

Because it never ends: 1. You don't invest? Let me help you start. (give guy money) 2. Good, you invest. Let me help you diversify. (give guy more money) 3. Good, you are diversified, but you need to diversify more (give guy even more mon

Sorry, it didn't work. Diversification means I need to give the stock broker more money. That's all it means to me. I understand the risk aversion concept. You don't need to "educate" me. Telling lay people (as you call them) that they need
