I would state that simplicity does not equate to stupid, maybe less exciting, but not stupid: "Simplicity is boring, complexity entertaining." Wealth is measured relative to society. Whether you create wealth in devising an innovative yet c

Is there an age limit to thinking? An age limit to "living"? Seriously, there is no age limit to anything. I'm 23 years old with no formal training in Comp Sci and I'm teaching myself Scheme as we speak (The Little Schemer is a great book!)

That sounds like a great DIY way of doing what this "steel mesh" wallet does. I have heard though that different RFID chips broadcast on different frequencies that render certain materials less effective at blocking. Here's another great pr

This may be a bit off topic from the actual post, but, I just looked at Tarsnap and think it is awesome (you got a customer out of this). Have you done any/many blog posts on the technology behind your service? It is put together very well

I'm a dedicated FreeBSD user and never see press like this; FreeBSD f'ing rocks and I think your idea is great. It's an excellent way to get some press and help the project financially.

To improve on your distinction, I would say painting, programming, building, writing, etc... all produce that sense of fulfillment from within ; even if you go to excessive lengths with it. Psycho-active drugs do not. They provide an exter

The CrunchPad was a cool idea, what would make it a real winner for hackers is if the hardware and software were open sourced. I know hardware is a bit more difficult to open source, especially if you are purchasing necessary components fro

Why the down vote? I obviously spent time writing the comment above, I think it would be fair to provide a counter argument or statement.

Interesting article. The author would benefit from reading (if they haven't already) some of Jung's (C.G. Jung) work on the collective unconcious and the archetypes that our psyches interact with. Artists do nothing more but tap into collec

I haven't been able to find many; most of what I use I've had to develop on my own and extract from the biographies of well known autodidacts. One of my current projects is to start writing up on my process and the intellectual tools I've d

One of my most valued mentors is in his late fifties. He was easily one of the top programmers in his field at the time. He can still carry conversations with me about LISP, Fortran, and C programming as well as PHP, MySQL, and AJAX develop

The title of that post was misleading as the post was about resources and not tools , I'm frustrated by the number of posts out there now that "list" free learning resources. (there are far better lists out there) They could have written

I upvoted you for the good link, but I also want to say that I like the way you titled your post. It would be nice if more users would give their post a more concise epithet.

I agree with this sentiment. Remove the emotional content of your title in the future, it makes for less precipitous and more grounded posts.

Transfer of value in a physical Universe is always a given, so "no money" is a farce in my opinion. Articles like these represent one thing only: destine (not to be confused with destiny). Minimalism, simplicity, declutter, zen, are all man

I'm not down voting you, it also irritates me. I do have to say though, restriction of content only lasts so long before even the laymen begin to realize their freedoms are suffocated. (slowly boiling the frog) While Google is a company tha

I agree, it is difficult, but my close friends and important correspondents do use email encryption (as per my request) for sensitive topics. I won't put anything sensitive in an email unless it is encrypted; that is generally the way a I

It's called GPG and it surprises me how many people, even computer professionals, don't use GPG to encrypt their email. Also encrypt your hard drive, preferably with hardware encryption that requires a physical key. Not fool proof, but it i

A good way of rephrasing it, thank you. I've never dealt with the hurdles involved in working for an early stage startup... You are correct, too small a stake and I still have no influence (I suppose this would be a case to branch out into

While that is true, the OP said he was interested in learning more beyond just SQL injection etc... Which brings me to your second subject: logic flaw. That is probably the most common security flaw than anything else. It is been made wor

HTTPS encrypts the connection between the client and the server, so, login pages and all backend/control panel pages should be HTTPS. Reason being, someone between the client and the server can sniff the traffic. If it is HTTPS it will be e
