This is rather silly. You could repeal the internet but it still wouldn't stop "cyber warfare". Viruses and data leaks both happened without the help of the internet.

It's not really as fun as it seems like it should be. It would be nice if it used real SQL stuff and maybe used SQL injections etc. I would like to be able to type a query and feel like the query actually ran on the database. Instead I

My favourite part of the article was: "The flashlight maintained a sufficient level of light for over 20 minutes, definitely enough time to find the candles in the dark when the power goes out." Why not just put the candles where

Actually, torrents themselves are totally legal. For example I can make a torrent of a photo I took or something which I own the copyright to. I can even then upload my legit torrent to The Pirate Bay or other torrent websites. This is why

I wish he'd just handled this in private. If they refuse to settle then sure, complain online. But this could have very well been on honest mistake that could have been quietly settled out of the public eye. Now this is going to end up

This was rather surprising to me. I didn't realise that Hacker News had such a feature and never spotted the "show dead" button on my profile page. I have turned it on now and I agree, there seems to be many users where you h

I'm using Firefox with Adblock Plus 2.2.4 and Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.7 and Flashblock 1.5.17 and did not get any pop-ups. I have not seen any in years. I'm just saying in case you wondered how you could block them. I understa

Very cool. I would be interested to know how they get the data off the harddrive again. Would this work with a broken harddrive (by swapping the disk) or do they just plug it in somewhere and wait a couple of days while everything copies of

I can see some benefits of this but I think the idea of a script automatically going through and making changes is quite horrible. In one example they removed a new paragraph break. That's an unacceptable modification to me. I think th

Yes, it was a little strange hearing them be called "subscriber identity module cards" as if that would be more familiar to us.

Fun fact: This post has no sources and no one has tried it yet but many people will still believe it.

Actually I still dislike Steam and avoid that too. Generally I will buy a non-steam version of a game if it is available. I don't want my computer to take longer to boot up or to run slower in case I want to play a game so I don't have Stea

On the internet, out of the companies that people interact with that were entered for the poll. Yes, those would seem to be the worst.

Here is the poll. Now you can go vote for them as the worst company. (I wish they'd linked to it with "bring it on".) http://consumerist.com/2013/04/05/worst-company-in-america-s...

Stupid website won't even let me comment. First I have to sign up. Then it snubs me with a short character count. Finally it won't even do anything when I press "ADD COMMENT". I've tried both Firefox and Chrome with and without javascript a

It's not whether they're getting rid of male engineers. I just hope they're not giving an unfair advantage to females over males here as I would consider that to be sexist. Equality isn't making sure 50% of workers in each role are of each

Doesn't this seem a little sexist? I only hope they give men the equal opportunity to women and don't start "paving the way" to make it easier for women to get a job there than an equally good man. Avoiding sexism isn't about hiring an equa
