   Thanks for the feedback. When I was writing it, I was address the people who make APIs rather than those who consume them. The bit at the end ("Do I need to do this") started life as the introduction but I think I put it on the en

   My legal name is "William Godfrey". (No middle name.) My stage name is "Bill P. Godfrey". (Because Google have too many called Bill Godfrey ahead of me.) In an informal setting I prefer to be called "Bill", 4 c

   I'm getting a 404 error. Is there a cached copy out there? EDIT: The blog's front page has a full copy of the article at the top. (As I write this at least.)

   How did they pull that off? I know several Americans who would love to be able to just opt-out of selective service and social security.

    I'm shocked (Shocked!) that a payday loan company would do such a thing.

    Last time this story was posted here, I commented "I hope I never have to work with this guy, he sounds ghastly!" This was a new account and I suddenly found myself with -7 karma points. I had to consider if I should throw that ac

    Exactly. Since it looks like there's no salting going on, if you know your target's IPv6 (and from that their calculated class E), you could quite easily go through your own set of available addresses and see if any result in the

    The hash only takes the top 64 bits of the IPv6 address, so unless you have a wide choice of that half of the IPv6 address, you could only use the one you've been given by your ISP. Even that possible vulnerability (if I can even call

    Back in university, we had lots of Falco t310 terminals. (VT100-esque terminals connected to a serial port.) Occasionally, I'd accidentally cat an executable file to the terminal and it would sometimes switch to a graphical mode and dr

    That's what an IOException means. I suspect the hint text stems from a very minimal XML parse of the documentation.
