Being stingy with big bounty money seems so shortsighted - if you are going to have a B.B. program and encourage people to suss out exploits, why would you then want to piss those people off? It’s not like there isn’t a completely separate

As someone who just inherited one of these at work and who had never played with a MacBook before, my first thought when seeing the headline was “If it’s not a MacBook Pro 2015, I don’t know what it is”. This thing is pure functional art.

Yep. The way I remember it is Google saved email. Email was great until there was money in gaming it, and it went to hell shortly thereafter. Gmail was the first consumer facing service I ever found that just magically made SPAM go awa

Normally wouldn’t submit a political link, but the intersection of DMCA and copyright law with what feels like a pretty legitimate case for fair use (IANAL) seems like it makes a good fit here. When you start getting down to YouTube strik

I am reminded of the time FARK did a minor remode on their site. Users were maaaaaad. Then, the site's effective senior VP wandered in and told everyone they'd get over it. They did not. A small but significant of why Reddit is

That and its proven to work, has a ridiculously long track use history (for software) so the bugs are fixed or well documented, and pretty damn hard to exploit. It's not like anyone is going to plug an 8 inch floppy disk they found la

I agree the microdots thing was sloppy. At least degrade the image of the page, or better yet retype the thing before sending it on. However, being one of the few people who printed it off from work was pretty stupid and would have boned

Any article that ends with a yes/no question is always answered with "no". This one is no exception. Print classified info out at work on work printers from a monitored work computer you are logged into and said info ends u

Did you read the paper? The real news is the modeling and and the exponential curves they are measuring. Something is happening and there are analogs to compare it to.

Well, the last time this caldera really went it was twice the size of Tambora, so it'd probably be several years of impact.

A German friend gave me this book almost 20 years ago; it's a children's book, but it's quite profound in spots. It's a bit dark, too. Same author as The Neverending Story. Who knew that Children's Dystopia Ficti
