I'm assuming that the parts can be used for many different things. The botnet can be rented out. And it can be used used to distribute ads. There was recently an article on HN about a guy who got arrested for putting spam on a botnet. And I

I found it seriously disturbing that there were some parents who actually thought it was ok to involve their kids in child porn.

Yeah, I've been noticing the link name changing a couple times in the past few minutes, so it's obviously being worked on.

I guess you are right. I don't see any scores on there at all.

IT seems to be moving to making basic services commodities. Financial services are already being handled by contractors for many small businesses. The requirements to legally handle credit card info can be expensive, so small websites just

Yeah, I agree with that. I had a well known entrepreneur respond to one of my posts, and I was slightly shocked. While I don't think my original post was rude or unreasonable, I really wasn't expecting it to be read by the person it was tal

If that is true, that might be why he is divesting. I really don't think his investments are unethical, as long as they are always disclosed. But his investments might slightly affect his objectivity, and get his credibility attacked. And s

Thanks, I'll check it out. I was really needing a replacement since my dvd drive currently isn't working.

I have to admit I like it. I've been using it as my main os for a couple days. It's fast, and I haven't had problems with stability. There's a few visual bugs, for instance every now and then a very blurry block will appear on top of the ta

In your case quitting sooner probably would have been appropriate. I was assuming that the company was basically a good company in her case, and that she hadn't done enough research on the company before joining. I still believe that. Other

This is horrible advice. Sure, you should always deal with boredom and a lack of motivation in your career, but that doesn't mean quitting after two weeks. If the job entailed doing something new, for instance a sales job for me since I hav

Does anyone know how secure this is? I'm assuming that the traffic is unencrypted, so technically your packets could be intercepted.

That might work.Sure it will probably make the site hotter, but as long as potential users are evaluated, it probably won't hurt the quality of the site. If we shut the door to new registrations, we definitely shouldn't make an invite only

That might backfire. I might think less of a site that thought doing trivial math problems was a sign of my level of intelligence. And making it harder might also be bad. If they are too hard, you'll get people who are just signing up for t

I don't think this is a very good welcome for new users at all. I've found HN to generally be very welcoming. And as it has been said before, not everyone feels the same way as the OP. Though a lot of users are worried about the culture on

Exercise is great. Sleep is great. I've figured out that if I don't get enough sleep, I usually end up wasting more time than I would have got sleeping. That said, you definitely need some time off from work. I'd suggest taking off a full

Rules are useful even in social situations. Sure, experience and intuition will be a lot more natural and successful, but not everyone has that to use. And besides, everyone needs a little work on social skills, and rules will at least give

I haven't personally tried piracetam, but erowid has a good section on piracetam and other nootropics. It generally seemed from Erowid that nobody had any bad experiences unless they were also on hard drugs. Piracetem: http://www.erowid.org

I've always been under the impression that you can get the health benefits from wine without drinking alcohol. Resveratrol is found naturally in foods like grapes and peanuts. So you won't be missing out on any health benefits if you don't

You mentioned on your blog that you tested out of your bachelor's degree. So what's your experience getting your degree from a non-traditional university? You seem somewhat of an autodidact, so did you find that the coursework was an accep

That's why I had such a big problem with the "war on terror". It came across as political spin. And implied that America was the superhero saving the world from the evil terrorists, instead of just reacting to a perceived threat.
