It reminds me of Latanya Sweeney's work in 1990 that demonstrated that 87% of the US population can be identified by just their gender, zip code, and full date of birth. An interesting project might be to create a database having a table wi

It's impossible to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, but there could be a preponderance of evidence that you didn't forget it. For instance, someone could testify that they saw you log in the day the computer was seized. http://en.wikipe

That would be rather difficult to prove. Conversely, it'd be difficult to prove that you didn't forget the password. I think it comes down to a Fifth Amendment issue. If a judge decides it's not protected under the Fifth Amendment, then

It would be pretty freaking awesome, although I wonder if the cost of building and maintaining such a station could be recouped from fees and sponsorship.

Graphviz is very useful for visualizing large graphs. You can learn to use it effectively in under five minutes. It's also very easy to transform CSV data into graphviz markup by piping it through one or two sed scripts.

What is the best way to approach this obfuscated code: http://www.asciiflow.com/asciiflow/asciiflow.nocache.js I feel like there are better deobfuscation tactics than those mentioned here: http://handlers.sans.org/dwesemann/decode/index.

I'm waiting for Bitwig to come out. It will support Linux. http://bitwig.com My understanding is that several former Ableton engineers became frustrated with the direction management wanted to take the software, so they left to hack on w

R has exceptional libraries for doing statistical analysis. This kind of setup could be a great platform for building a statistical software suite as a service. Sort of like SAS or STATA or SPSS in the cloud.

This reminds me that you can do a lot without having to setup an RDBMS. Take Hacker News for instance. However, the OP uses a file as a table, whereas HN uses unix directories as tables and uses files as table records, afaik.
