I don't make the mistake of thinking a recruiter calling me on several occasions, attempting to get me to interview is a job offer. What I find surprising is that the recruiter still wants me to interview even after I explained who and

Honestly, I used to think the same way. I am a college dropout that has about 3 years professional experience (thoigh I have been programming since I was a kid) and I suddenly have a Google recruiter coming after me and trying to get me to

The point is that Steve Jobs, just as the rest of us, was standing on the shoulders of giants. So why then do we obsess over him and not others? Why is he any more important than Dennis Ritchie?

You'd be surprised how far rote memorization and Google along with a little cheating can get you. I have a friend currently finishing up his third year for his CS degree. I've tried helping him for the entire time, but he really j

This is an area I think IntelliJ really shines. The built in JSHint/JSLint makes developing and finding problems a lot better. It is still a dynamic language at the end of the day, but it makes itmore bearable.

Care to elaborate? Best I could find was that his writings about WWII are, at worst, disputed. Nothing about him being a fraud.

I'm the kind of person who generally over tips (not that I care about a few extra dollars) and the whole tipping thing is just an annoyance to me. I would rather pay the price on the menu and be done with it. Not to mention it would fo

That doesn't sound entirely far-fetched. In the neighborhood I grew up in, there were about 4 or 5 different neighbors who worked for the police over the years and I distinctly remember three of them giving either my father or brother

I'm assuming in this scenario that they would be keeping passwords in a plaintext file. If they kept passwords in an encrypted file, wouldn't they need to decrypt it? Wouldn't you presumably have a strong password to decrypt

Neither am I... Wouldn't using a random password and copy/pasting it imply they are storing it somewhere unsafe?

I'm curious as to how that would affect a password manager? I was always under the impression that they would directly manipulate the DOM (or perhaps alter the outgoing request)?

I guess that is something of a double-edged sword then. You might force someone to use a weaker password, but then hopefully they wouldn't be keeping it in a place where they could simply copy/paste it. This really starts to del

Maybe I'm just cynical, but given that the father is a security researcher, does anyone else think that he himself found the vulnerability but concocted the story to get some free press?

It would be nice if we could take this one action and examine it in a vacuum to determine the character of the person in question. Unfortunately we cannot. Few things are black and white issues, this certainly is not one of them, and to att
