Interesting project. I'd love to look at the source and it is available at : http://chiselapp.com/user/johnfound/repository/MiniMagAsm/tr... but you can visit the above address and download .zip

The only thing I found more disturbing than the story are the comments below it. Airbnb really does need to overhaul their responses to things like these. As for the host, it's never a good idea to ignore your gut instincts and 30 days

Looks nice. One tinsey issue; It doesn't seem to allow me to clear the field. If I accidentally clicked on the text field, I have no way to empty the field again. I cleared the contents of the field and clicked elsewhere, it fills the

Your mother is an excellent judge of sci-fi character. I've seen many arguments that the role of Sisko was heavy handed in many ways and there are some truth to that, but with the exception of a few, any episode featuring the brilliant

I enjoyed "Magnificient Ferengi" in particular. An all Ferengi episode that featured virtually every prominent character of the race except the Grand Nagus. Edit: It seems even on the list, there is Season 3, "The House of Qu

The difference between a haphazard device driver, a bootloader by a ragtag group of hackers and a space capsule is national pride and lives at stake. ;-) We should encourage software to be written as if it will one day fly in space.

That's not entirely fair. I mean it can be a massive time-suck of pedantry at times, but I've learned a great deal of very useful things about work and life here from articles and comments. Humans are weird creatures; we achieve p

But this is what concerns me as well. Yes, the effect is significantly - several orders of magnitude - greater than what the theory predicted, however there's no reassurance that it's outside local noise in the lab. "Gravity

I'm cautiously optimistic, but let's be a bit more reserved on this until we see it properly peer reviewed. This area is ripe for pathological science and a myriad errors induced by human factors. Hopefully other labs around the w

I'm not speaking to the validity of whether or not DNSSEC is actually a good idea. Your contention is that it's not. But saying the equivalent of "no one uses it" is demonstrably false.

I got the same. It may mean we passed the base level in the C languages since the syntax matches.

That's very cool! They really are following the hacker spirit; the enthusiasm they have for their work, the try-and-see discovery of capabilities and the joy they have in sharing what they've done. It's very refreshing.

There are lots of samples for PHP, but you don't need to study that. As d33n suggests, there are examples that already use flat files as a database and you can browse Github for code examples. Our forum was setup so that one thread = o

You can run a community of sorts, but the feature list will be sparse. The only viable system sans-database that comes to mind is plain-text. I'm a member of a forum that had an old system in the beginning that used plain text "da

This looks to be very good. One tiny, and I do mean tiny, wish is that the code follows BSD/KNF style. I know that's all down to preference anyway, but it does make things easier to absorb.

It's very good text-to-speech synthesis. The voice sounds similar to "Mike" from http://www.naturalreaders.com But I cannot be certain.

That's interesting. I hope it sees more widespread adoption by browser vendors and the recent security disclosures will hopefully help to tip implementation in that direction.

I wish there was an alternative to the CA system we have now. I'm part of a private forum with a self-signed cert and while initially there was some hesitation to it, most members have added it to their browser exceptions.
