Yes. All of them. Seriously, it's easier to just change all of your passwords than to hunt down a list (that will be incomplete and give you a false sense of security), cross-match against servers you might have an account on, then cha

It is readable, but that's not why people dislike it. People dislike it because it gets used in inappropriate situations, like the aforementioned company-wide memos. It's fine when your kid's using it for a lemonade stand sig

This app listens for other alarms, like fire alarms, and then vibrates when it hears them. It's not replacing the alarm clock.

Does anybody know how many companies, upon receiving a blackmail "give us $300 or you'll be DDoSed" email, pay it? For every meetup.com or Basecamp that resist, how many actually give in to the blackmailer's demands?

Unfortunately that ship has sailed. The B with the two vertical lines through it (akin to the dollar sign) is "the Bitcoin symbol", no matter what other kinds of symbols people come up with.

I seem to recall that when I called my US bank, they would ask me for the last three or four digits of my SSN to confirm I am who I am. My bank in Canada always asks me for my birthdate. Yes, companies you do business with do ask for your p

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. The first three are pretty common French Canadian names. The last one isn't. Francois Tremblay is the name of a goalie from Baie-Comeau. Marc Gagnon is the name of an Olympic gol

Well, this article states that caffeine shortens telomeres, and shortened telomeres are a hallmark of aging. Lengthened telomeres are associated with cancers. This seems to imply that the research done in this article (on yeast) correlates

Huh. I didn't know that the UNIX timestamp essentially gets recalculated at UTC midnight every day to ensure that midnight now = midnight yesterday + 86400. I take back my previous argument.
