It also seems very similar to the (crowded) pastebin space, which according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastebin have been around since at least 2002. To be honest, I think it would be hard to get a profitable business out of your ide

These 'security holes' are not typically security holes which let people do things with the device without authorisation from the device's owner; instead, they prevent authorised people (by the person with legal authority over the device, i

Disclaimer: IANAL - anyone who has had their domain seized should contact a lawyer and not read lay opinions on the Internet. If, has been implied, they are being seized under a Search and Seizure warrant (presumably as "property designed f

I don't think that DNSSEC is going to be a sufficient hurdle: "When you first set up your Acme Internet Services account, you will need to set up your domain name servers correctly. This is a two step process which requires setting up your

The problem is, knowing how to program without understanding much computer science is useful only for the most basic of tasks, and I expect that the demand for some of those more basic tasks, or at least for people to know a generic program

They don't, however, seem to mention their names anywhere. If Facebook knows the name of the author, they can threaten to ban them from Facebook if they don't take it down (about the only leverage they have to exploit). However, to get a re

I guess the key would be to ensure it is sufficiently slow to avoid triggering the anti-bot mechanism. Browsing the code I found this: http://code.google.com/p/fb-exporter/source/browse/trunk/fb-... ... idx * 11000 + Math.random() * 1000

I think if they had to argue it in court, they will present the cache as an irrelevant technical detail, just like how fleeting copies of frames from a DVD are stored in buffers and decoded when playing the DVD on a traditional player. The

If you can't fit the take home message of your presentation on slides with a few points to a slide, you are presenting material faster than your audience can realistically be expected to take it in - they might nod along, but they probably

IANAL, but they are unlikely to hit anti-discrimination laws in many countries for anything outside a narrowly defined set of prohibited criteria for discrimination. I think the biggest concern is that the social network effect creates a ba

The article misses the point - Apple is aiming for a particular niche market, and it achieves that very successfully. Its niche market will pay through the roof for devices which look nice and make it easy to do the most common things but v

Spoiler alert - don't read more of this comment if you want to solve it yourself. Almost all of the solution in Haskell (except for the bit about extracting the actual answer from the Javascript); it's probably not what they intended, since

It is the webapp developer who ultimately decides whether or not there is mixed content, not the browser. If you don't mix content in your webapp, an attacker who controls the network shouldn't be able to change your content (not even to in

The point the article was making was that it is illegal to sell kits which test for levamisole and other harm reduction 'paraphernalia'. Some people are going to use drugs no matter how dangerous they are perceived to be, and that is why pr

The question is not whether two wrongs make a right, but whether the first wrong will provoke someone to commit the second wrong. The argument may be 'horseshit' as a moral justification according to nearly everyone, but a small proportion

IANAL, but as I understand the law, the 'service provider' who registers is the one who is protected. Posterous is providing you and anyone who comments on your blog a service - they can register to protect themselves. You are providing a s

Company taxes are, in most parts of the world, levied on company profits, not company revenues. So if Google paid higher taxes, company expenditure would be the same, but dividends and / or share price would be lower. So the only point that

Taking the contents of the article on faith, I think the point was that their customers were abusing the startup's service for phishing. This would be analogous to, for example, AWS taking reddit offline because a user posted a phising link
