I have to wonder how badly it would suck to bail from an airliner going 120+ knots. That's about the slowest most heavies can go without falling out of the sky.

When Werner Heisenberg was pulled over by the Munich police, he couldn't tell them how fast he was going, but he knew exactly where he was.

That's not much more authoritative than some random blogspot entry, but interesting. So who hijacked his twitter account (which I know was his real twitter account)

The technology used to help attackers find wireless networks is now used in many corporate wireless network platforms, to detect and block rogue access points. There's an entire litany of examples where initially subversive technology becam

Clustering has existed for a long, long time before black-hats were doing botnets. The practice of breaking up workloads so that more than one computer could process it has been around almost as long as computing itself.

That is, indeed, his twitter account. And people wonder why I'm so jaded and skeptical about stuff like this.

I don't usually reply to my own comments, but just to point out a few examples of the F'd up things people do, including "making others dead over the Internet": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=578260 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?

I'm not sure who's running things there (if anyone) but he had said he turned over duties to some friends. Milw0rm was (is?) a source of quality PoC exploit code, much of which was zero-day. For security research, it used to be a great reso

Hear, hear! They didn't crack or break PGP at all. They still needed the password-protected secret key to pull it off. It's not much different than attempting to brute-force anything else, including login:password pairs.

I was at a startup from Jan-July '06 and we had several kicking around. I switched to the ball there at the startup and learned to love it. Shortly after, I replaced my home computer chair with a ball as well. Like anything, they can be mis

I've had comments and submissions of mine downvoted before, and I didn't take offense. The article or my comment was simply "unliked" rather than enjoyed (upvoted) or met with indifference (left alone). Reading anything more into it is kind

I've never seen an option to downvote. It could be because I don't have enough "points" in this game (130 as of the time I'm posting this) or it may be because I haven't been around long enough. Once, I did try to downvote something by klu

Very cool, as this was one of my biggest gripes about lists. I do hope that RSS for lists becomes a feature on twitter.com but this should work for now. Thanks!

As long as my browser still renders them in punycode by default, I suppose I'm okay with that.

The fact that someone thought to create a program for this purpose says a lot about the state of affairs on our roads. Also: wanton disregard for safety protocol and driving with numerous distractions doesn't result in an _accident_ of unfo

I simply said that the title carries more weight if it's used by someone that's already considered to be in the crowd. There's obviously a kind-of non-pejorative definition of the word "hacker" as well, which can be used to generally define

I'll agree. Many labels are worthless used in reference to one's self. "Brilliant" and "Hacker" among the big ones. They don't really mean anything until someone else recognizes it in you. IMHO, it takes a genuine hacker (acknowledged as su

You can get a large amount of almost any liquid onto a plane in your carry-on so long as the label is somewhat official-looking and identifies the contents as being medical supplies. Get one of those contact lens caddies and pack it with a

At least he recognizes he's lost now, when there's plenty of time ahead to fix it. A lot of people won't see it for another 30 years.

As far as blogging? I know a guy making a few grand per month, but he's got 30-some sites going at any given time, and can spend as much as 15 hours per day, 6-7 days per week developing, ferreting out and posting content. Like pmichaud, t

That graph of theirs has the yes and no colors reversed on the legend. Either that or the numbers are reversed, but that's doubtful.

I lurked via RSS only for a very, very long time before I made an account. Now, I still primarily read, but I also comment. I occasionally hit the "new" page and upvote things if I have some free time.

I'm not affiliated with them, but if you want zero-knowledge, encrypted dropbox-esque storage (and a few other benefits) you might try spideroak instead.

I would totally get behind one page = a given time window, as long as the time window is configurable, or at the least, page n is an offset from what was the first item on the first page when you started paging.
