I've seen a couple mentions about that (Gmail being another site it breaks). What seems to be going on, and I don't have a Win7 machine to test on myself, is that something's causing IE10 on Win7 to incorrectly switch to compatibility mode

With always-on routers usually being the DHCP lease recipient for residential broadband, even dynamic IP addresses are typically a lot more "sticky" than most people expect. Couple that with the location-specific info available via reverse

Your true public IP address won't be disclosed if you're using a VPN as an intermediary. Sort of like private domain registrations; sure, there's an address to associate, but it's meaningless. Of course, using a SSL connection to Google wou

To me, it's not a question of black/gray/white hat. This was as much a "hack" as grabbing a handful of business cards out of the free-lunch-for-your-office drawing bowl at Chipotle. Regardless of what nefarious purposes someone had for snat

It blows my mind that someone could get 10 years for idempotent operations on what was essentially a public API. Put in any other context than "scary computer hacking", it would be obvious to most people that the insecure system was at leas

No kidding. Compared to my clients that choose Exchange-friendly services like Office 365, the clients on Google Apps (paid or not) have been feeling a world of pain since the Office 2013 upgrade. I remember reading a post on some official

Sample size of one, but Google Reader accounted for 6,168 of my 7,698 RSS subscribers yesterday (according to the probably-also-on-the-chopping-block FeedBurner).

It's particularly silly since anyone that researched dhh for a few minutes would know his very-public stance on Groupon. I can't imagine that they could say or do anything to get him to work there.

That's probably true for most of us here, but definitely not for every demographic. My personal blog that focuses on software development gets almost all of its search traffic from Google, as you'd expect. However, you might be surprised th

There are solutions in the works, but precisely timed audio (like games need) is still problematic in HTML5.

I keep most of my templates in separate .htm files and load them via XHR for a handful of reasons, including caching as you mentioned. Works great. It would be nice if the new template element had built-in support for that (e.g. a src attri

I'd defer to someone on the Chromium team if they have any input, but Chrome is what I was using at the time (not too long ago) and there definitely weren't any events firing for overscroll. It would be nice if they'd add notification about

Unfortunately, there aren't any events to track overscroll with regular mouse wheel or trackpad scrolling. I looked into it for a bit, wanting to create something exactly like Hook, but with the expected UX. Once the viewport hits the top o

Same here. I've been blocking third-party cookies in Chrome since the option was available, and have built up a list of exceptions that I'm comfortable with. I don't think it's reasonable that your average user would be able to figure that

That's actually a pretty elegant solution to the issues that most of Firefox's userbase would encounter if all third-party cookies were blocked (e.g. not being able to log in with or share via their Twitter and Facebooks accounts). How ofte

Of course people make mistakes. The point is that the framework doesn't expose you to those risks by default. You have to explicitly make those mistakes yourself. Further, when ASP.NET does have the odd vulnerability crop up, patches roll o

by Encosia 14y ago
The difference is that things like enabling remote errors or disabling request validation in ASP.NET requires that you explicitly change those settings. The default config doesn't expose either of those issues.

You don't spend any time looking at it from that angle when you're using it, but the stand and cover make it just as usable as a real laptop as long as you've got a tabletop. I'm able to type as fast/accurate on my RT with the Type Cover as

I've had exactly the same experience. I've always hated people touching my displays and rolled my eyes every time I watched someone demo Windows 8 touch screen computers on stage. I was very sure that I'd never want to use them like that. A

There's nothing unethical or insulting about preemptive loss prevention unless you go out of your way to read that into it. When I lock my front door, that doesn't mean I'm implying that my mailman is a thief. There's no benefit in over-dra

I don't understand hostility at DRM when it's used to secure a stream of something you don't own. Netflix streams are rentals, not content that you have rights to retain or re-purpose as you see fit. DRM is perfectly appropriate in that sit

My guess would be that they're bringing the store apps in Windows 8 to the Xbox in the near future.

Would you rather they use Silverlight forever instead? Without some form of DRM on playback, there is no Netflix (or Hulu or any other legit web-based streaming for premium content).

That's an RC model with the jet sounds dubbed over. It's almost impossible that the plane would maneuver that well to begin with, without thrust vectoring and using what looks like Cessna avionics, but it's a certainty that the fiberglass m
