My criticism of Microsoft is well founded. I don't hold grudges, and I don't judge carelessly. If the Linux Foundation started doing stuff like this, I would see them in a new light (one that I might not like). I think it's too easy to poin

The most interesting part of that post, in my opinion, was how she claimed each of her discoveries were -- trivial. That really hit home with me because I've felt the same feeling before. I've learned to stop, step back, look at the problem

I care , because this leads one to judge the credibility and integrity of a large company like Microsoft. This definitely is a tech story, and it is definitely pertinent to a site like HN. Microsoft is a HUGE player in the technology s

I don't understand, has he left yet? Either way, this is awesome! I can't wait to see what lies at those depths. I would love to know how the engineers who build the new vessel fixed the silt issue.

The important point this post makes is the issue of an ambiguous subject line. I had never thought of it before, but not putting a company name in the subject makes the email look much less credible and increases the chance of me flagging i

I was originally taught VB in school and thought it was amazing. Of course, I needed to get a student license for Visual Studio...and I needed to wait an hour to install it everytime I bought a new computer...oh and what I created could nev

Anything .NET, because I don't see the point of learning a proprietary non-cross platform language.

If this is coming from an IT/Tech company, I would HIGHLY question the competence of the employees (no offense meant).

On the contrary, I think the perfect place to voice my opinion is with a blog post. If I can get at least one person to stop and think about the people on the receiving end of a document (especially within a large company), I would say I've

That's a good point I completely forgot to mention. I might do a bit more research on this and scrape up some tools and make a Version II of the post.

I would suggest having MUCH more information about what I'm signing up for before I actually hand over my information. All I know from the homepage and the about page is that its some form of Q&A website. You should have screenshots of

He's been missing since the 14th (according to the article). 5 days is a pretty long time. I hope he's found. I've tweeted this.

Will do, I'm setting it up now. If I run into anything I'll shoot you an email. The first thing I'm seeing is a lack of pre-made themes. Maybe I'll start a repo with some community themes.

This looks to be right up my alley, I'd love to give Github more of my data :)

For those of you wondering what exactly this site is/does: It seems to be a ruby set of ruby tutorials/lessons. There is a quick tutorial on how to use the interface (pretty simple). Then you're presented with 3 tabbed panes: - your goal/ta

What driverdan said makes sense. It is much more likely that they obfuscated or masked their code instead of inventing an "unknown" programming language. Even so, the obfuscation method used I'm sure would be pretty cunning (seeing as these

It is usually quite easy to spot mailto: links, and hovering over the link will usually make it extra clear (at least in Chrome, in the bottom left corner a small box with the url's location is displayed). I usually just right-click the lin

It's amazing to see exactly what we've been able to achieve. I never though we knew THAT much about our Universe. I would shake the hand of everyone who helped make it happen if I could. Also, I don't understand how you can look at how many

From what I understand of the Pirate Party's mandate on copyright law, it seeks only to reform -- not abolish -- current copyright shenanigans. I got this information from the Pirate Party of Canada (but I'm pretty sure it's a universal man

Happy to see that the Pirate Party is standing up for fair copyright laws regardless of who their opponent is. Hopefully this law will whither away.

Yeah I agree. Too bad they didn't just save it for the end.

So a sufficiently strong method of encryption (one that is proven to be not time or resource efficient) is enough to protect your hard drive from law enforcement eyes?
