Some weeks ago I tried to buy a mobile top-up online - my bank card was repeatedly rejected for some unknown reason (after having to re-enter my entire address and card numbers multiple times). More recently, I decided to try Bitcoin for th

I tried standing up to work for a few weeks once and found I just got a different kink in my back. I would still tend to slouch sideways when standing, keeping most of my weight on one leg (almost like sitting on a stool) and using the ot

Why can't it just be a "dumb" fantasy? Why does it have to be a dumb libertarian fantasy? I don't see anything particularly libertarian about it. If anything, the existing infrastructure there is a vaguely libertarian

This terrifies me. This is the first revelation that has actually shocked me. It goes even beyond what I considered conspiracy theory. And what terrifies me even more, is my absolutely certainly, as a British citizen, that nothing will chan

Square Enix a few days ago did a similar thing, with access to a few (old) IPs. I wonder if this is a trend?

My only point was that these filters can be difficult to turn off. Please feel free to despair at the large number of average Joes who also won't put in the effort. That's quite the problem. (fwiw, I rarely use my phone for web br

My nearest provider (Vodafone) store is over an hours drive away. I've never particularly considered going there; but even if that is a possibility I'd still class it as "difficult to opt out". I personally would also fe

If you like really hard puzzle games, give "Puzzle Moppet" a shot sometime... I recently got an email from a hardcore puzzle fan who has been playing it on and off for a year, but still was unable to complete it. The gameplay is

There is a "UK Porn Filter". You can, however, opt out, and existing customers may currently not yet be affected. There is a fear that people will blindly choose the default "opt in" because of taboo and other social pre

I love incompetent filtering like this, it irritates those who might not otherwise care. It would be nice to see it commonplace and socially acceptable to disable the filters purely because of how rubbish they are.

You don't have the porn filter enabled. This guy does.

You omitted the "I develop games primarily for visually/auditorily impaired users" part... Simple turn based type games can be made with PHP/HTML. Unity, while vastly overpowered, might still be a reasonable choice from

Funnily enough, I didn't feel any empathy at all. Does this make me a psychopath too? ;) Instead, reading it gave me the impression of somebody obsessed with themselves - somebody with a superiority complex. Nothing more, nothing less,

"because the people on trial said so" does not really constitute evidence. (not that they are in any real way on trial mind, they got to vet and prepare for every question before hand.)

Hey moot, why don't you let pass users bypass individual IP blocks? I refuse to disable my VPN, so it means I can't post any more. A shame 4chan has no way for privacy conscious users to post, especially given your support of Stop

Your website also doesn't work when using an anonymous proxy/VPN, the geoip request fails (with 404) and I'm just left with a blank page.

How exactly does a hardware based router help? Is the idea that TOR is running on separate hardware, and despite the local system being compromised, the attacker can't "phone out" to find the real IP address?
