I am developing a web wiki with a WYSIWYG user interface. It has an in-place editor instead of forms and textareas (stole some ideas from Zim desktop wiki). I am also creating a new programming language for the wiki - a mixture of many idea

I understand that North Korean government has a motive, but do they have enough technological ability to orchestrate such an attack? A country full of starving people and with one website opened a few years ago? I highly doubt it. On the ot

Is this link a recursive joke? All I got is a grey page with "Click here to skip this or wait 15 seconds.". The link does not work. I have JavaScript disabled with NoScript FireFox extension. Judging from the HTML code of the page it seems
