I had read about it in the past in mostly glowing terms. A community of well-regarded people with insightful things to say, posting under their real names and keeping a civil tone in their discussions. I was still surprised to see it's stil

The article mentions the same firm that designed the security system for this data center also designed the security system for "the Federal Reserve System". It's gimmicky, but I have to imagine it impresses potential customers.

I considered this while writing it, but figured there's a fine line one must walk with a utility like this. If it's too annoying to disable, you won't use it. Typically once I flip it on, I forget about it, until I actually try to check a s

I wrote a small PHP command-line tool for turning on/off these host file entries. It's fairly simple, but I've found it to be extremely useful in killing off stray checks of favorite websites, which inevitably end in larger blocks of misspe

Looks like a pretty well conducted spear phishing attack. If the exploit code hadn't crashed Acrobat Reader, chances are the originating attacker would have a nice flow of 0-day exploits from this security researcher.

A co-worker just showed me his new iPhone 4 this afternoon. I joked with him that he had interesting timing, and tried to show him the antenna issue. I've never used an iPhone 4, so I figured it would be easy to replicate the issue. It wasn

The gist of it: children are curious and clever, and able to learn by exploring, particularly in the presence of other children. Presented with a novel and engaging device (an internet connected computer), a test group was able to acquire t

From the first link: "For legal reasons I can't talk about air popper roasting too much." And the author doesn't elaborate. Weird?

I had issues with the compass in my 3GS. At some point I tried to use it to navigate my way back from some convoluted hiking trails. I realized the compass was off just as the battery died in the phone. And the sun began to set.

My local Best Buy (in Sarasota) is the same. A BestBuy employee said they're working through a backlog. People ask when the next shipment arrives, and when it does they come in to buy them up. In some cases the entire shipment is gone in th

I had a similar thought. It would be interesting to create dozens of variations of this reply, then push out a constant stream of replies from different email addresses to the scammer. For bonus points, do the same in reply to the scammer's

I'm surprised not to see this in other comments, but RealBASIC is surprisingly awesome for cross-platform application development. It certainly has its limitations (BASIC), but you can crank out Linux, Windows, and Mac executables with near

http://www.mrgreen.am/affiliate-marketing/the-ugly-truth/ I found this article to have better examples. In particular, the ChristianMingle ad -- same wording, different treatment, different results.

When asking for fairly straight-forward work, I believe a lot of contractors use generated code or repurposed code from other projects. At least this has been my experience from outsourcing application development. It became especially appa

Originally, I was thinking it would be a bit grey area to frame everything. But I suppose loading it within the frame would still keep the HN branding. I've updated the comment links to load in the main frame.

Throwing another hat in the ring, I've been working on a lightweight Hackernews reader. The major goal was to reduce tab overload for light browsing: http://hnaddict.com/ It's a bit green but fairly usable.
