Articles can't get downvoted, only flagged. Personally, I completely disagree with it, but I wouldn't flag it because of its relevance to HN. I only flag spam, linkbait and off-topic stuff, usually.

Of course, that only takes into account the caffeine content of a beverage divided by the LD50 of caffeine as determined in rats (in mg/Kg) I'm pretty sure something else would go horribly wrong before I finished off the 150th can of red bu

If a SCO appeal surprises anyone, they haven't been paying attention.

I'm more disappointed that it's 2010 and people are still talking about Climategate on HN.

I am glad that most American suburbs have free public restrooms. I am also glad that I live in those suburbs.

What every end-user needs to know about "public" data and privacy: Regardless your "privacy" settings, you shouldn't put something on the Internet that you would be ashamed to be made public, either now or in the foreseeable future.

I'm pretty sure the wordplay was completely intentional for this exact reason.

It helps to use one of the more flexible and less user-friendly Linux distros on an old desktop or in a VM. I kind of like ArchLinux. The problem with Linux, though, is that there are several main families, and even distros in the same fami

I'm sure there are a few really bad sexist jokes in reply to the title. I'll refrain from airing them here.

I was a pretty hardcore FPS gamer in high school (n.b. I graduated in '97). I continued a bit into college, becoming enamored with racing simulations. It was killing my grades and sucking up time I'd rather be hacking. I shook the habit in

Indeed, I really was kidding, so no offense meant. I am an info-sec professional by trade, so I'm naturally a bit cynical and paranoid when it comes to offloading certain things to third parties. It's good to know you have a privacy policy,

Same here. I have a folder for must-read feeds (mostly close friends and a few VERY high-quality, low-volume feeds) then I categorize the rest by interest. I've also leveraged my friends who filter out the relatively few rare gems from insa

As an IT guy hailing from the general area that Cerner calls home, I can honestly say this is where hackers' souls go to die.

I just ride my bicycle to work. That is, until yesterday when I ran over (I shit you not) a deer. Now I'm licking my wounds. My bike blog link is in my profile if you even care. I won't clutter this thread with link spam. From the sounds o

If it were mining and drilling policy, perhaps. But this is more about energy policy.

Awesome. Let's give The Prez the ability to leverage a massive-scale worldwide denial of service attack at his every whim before the Evil Haxors can pound their script kiddie tools through the firewall. Way to go.

I've been on both sides of this. No one wins.

I don't know. I don't think many people do, or the market simply isn't that big and that's why the startup folded.

In 2006, I was working at a startup that was trying to nail this space. It's amazing how far this sort of tech has come.

I love side projects, even the ones that feel like work. And sometimes, I really only need one day to relax and do nothing, every few weeks. It's cool to work on something you love through the weekend if you can stay focused on it.

I married a hacker. We met on a dial-up BBS way back in the nineteen hundreds. She is awesome.

If I did, it would be more like a consultancy thing. I'm not a developer, and I do security stuff (all kinds) for fun and profit. I'm 31, married, wife needs insurance with lots of medical issues. It would be a bad time for me to go off on

I've been there. I spent the last half of 2006 through the end of 2009 doing seriously soul-sucking work that was sometimes fun (as it's related to my hobbies) but often arduous, and it left me very little time to do the things I wanted to

Dude. If you don't have some down-time regularly, you're going to wake up at 30 feeling like you're 70. As for wasting time? Look at the 80 hours per week you're wasting at a job you hate (counting wake-up, prep, commute, and winding-down)

The web developers who put this into place should be the ones lynched. All that "Goatse Security" did was put together a quick and dirty Luhn algorithm and start generating serial numbers to grab data from a publicly-accessible part of AT&#
