Don't get me wrong - I pay for a VPN subscription too for when I'm travelling/public wifi, but it's much easier to quietly hand VPN providers a nice sum of money for them to just hand over the keys. Everyone leaves happy

Have you ever considered it would be easier for the government to pay the VPN providers a large sum to hand over the data, avoid a big public lawsuit, and silently mine all the data without having to break the encryption?

+1 to Bustaname.com, it's a great tool for finding domain names and one I have found to be invaluable.

I'd also like to chip in here and say keep an eye out for loan laptops. My HDD broke down and I received a loan laptop while they fix my one. While installing Go, I found Prey Anti-Theft on my HDD. Nice little bit of camera snapping, l

My problem with stumbleupon is that while you may get many visitors (in the thousands per page), I noticed that very few - if any - actually cared. Did some analysis on it and I wouldn't use SU again: http://ssdpress.com&#x2

Ah, yes. It's the title of the product. I'll do that when I get back from work. Thank you for your feedback! (SSH keys are at home. Damn and blast!)

I was wondering why they didn't use jquery/JS to load data from a list rather than reload the page and create more web server hits. This would explain why.

I don't see why schools should be able to tell if a student is revising last minute. Why should they care? Pass the exam is all that's required. No revision method is perfect, and being dyslexic I know the way I work differs from

I would argue that it is in everyone's interest to care about these sort of things. Not only is interesting, it's also important to understand how and why it happens.

Just finished writing revision notes on sorting algos and I come across this. Damn it! As already said, this is very nicely done.

Definitely this! I'm currently in my first year of uni and a lot of it seems like getting a good routine is important. I'm lucky to have clever friends around me, so going for a drink or a game of pool and talking about work and a

How is it blog spam? I assume buffer posts are blog spam equally? If anything, I learnt a few new things here such as the 'all in one stage' or 'break it into multiple stages' slide. Hardly blog spam.

+ 1. I fully agree here, parsing for events data, parsing a news article or parsing tweets are all very different tasks and each one requires different optimizations. An interesting project regardless, I'll likely be using this in the

What infuriates me is that not enough people care for them to demand change. It goes on the news one day then the next it's gone. Information-overload. That's their card and they'll keep playing it.

I host my personal website on relichost.net, it's £6/year but for my one page 'about me' and some simple email it's more than enough. Also I hadn't thought of S3 - that's a good shout.

I once read 'If you build it, they won't come'. I think this is the case for most people. Getting people to your website or service is the hard part, not the development. We're all in the same boat here. For a product such as yours, I can i

So what would happen if I make an app to rate girls from facebook, and they can't log in to check if they've been voted or commented on etc... Does that make me a creep and a perv, because that's exactly what it sounds like to me.
