While I agree it can be annoying, would you really have read the interview had the title been: "The story of VoodooPC"? Headlines are written that way for a reason.

I sat in on the venture class at UChicago last night (I'm auditing the MBA program). They actually talked about this and the professor referenced some study out of UVA of successful entrepreneurs and one of the recurring traits was that the

Try reading it again. “The initial piece of code was shell code encrypted three times and that activated the exploit,” Alperovitch said. “Then it executed downloads from an external machine that dropped the first piece of binary on the hos

The report stressed the need for checking Windows source code for security loopholes, especially in light of recent attacks The irony is too rich.

Why/How is McAffee involved? Would a company like Google really outsource the cleanup/forensics of an attack?

Is HODR listed on Charity Navigator (I can't seem to find it)?

That author actual inverts that ridiculous argument and explicitly says that all the highest earners live on the coasts and are propping up those salt of the earth types "in the middle".

That's a good point, and given the non-standard treatment of DMs in most twitter clients I've used it's almost definitely the right choice.

I like the idea but why did you choose a public channel to share links to a private resource rather than something like direct messages?

The discussion at hand is about history of imperialism so 'appealing to history' shouldn't be that surprising. Also, I'm curious, how are things in your post-imperialist future? Is everything lovely?

by dschobel 17y ago
That's just how humans roll. Precisely. History is littered with examples of the imperialistic tendencies of man (if you want to see some grade-A imperialism, look into how the Aztecs built their empire, hint: it wasn't by having lots of

This video from Ira Glass (of This American Life fame) sums up the discrepancy between taste and ability beautifully. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hidvElQ0xE He talks about how you get into a creative field because there are works of i

The argument is that the mismanaged spending and high taxation rate are actually pernicious to the community's welfare, this isn't just a matter of cynical reflex saying "look at those do-gooders thinking they're making a difference".

Better hurry. It wasn't until 2001 that miners, searching for lead, eventually penetrated the cave wall and brought it to light. The very act of discovering and witnessing them has triggered their slow decay and now no one knows what their

Interesting stuff. I'm considering an MBA right now and am glad to hear there are good jobs at the intersection of business and tech. As for Apple, I had a friend on the TimeMachine team and he said the same thing, it's a shitty place for d

Amazing. I was expecting some theoretical dissertation about productivity and coding and instead, got a heaping spoonful of awesome.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised you can walk away from a mortgage (a legal contract) without also declaring bankruptcy. Any legal eagles around to explain how this is possible?

I agree and I love python for that, but people learn Ruby specifically to do Rails work. My point is only that python has no similar library or framework driving uptake.

What is the killer app for python though? Django? numpy? I don't think it really has one, certainly not like the ruby/rails relationship.

one or more individuals illegally breached one of our databases I love the fact that they mention multiple times that it was an illegal breach as if that diminishes their culpability.
