Can someone please explain this a little more? My basic understanding is that they incorrectly opened a PHP tag and exposed the code. If that's the case, wouldn't the page have appeared broken in development? Or have been found during te

For some reason I am reminded for Steve Jobs' Stanford graduation speech when he says "you will die one day." In the video, it seems to roll off the audience as a cliche. But, it seems to have tempered much of his career with fearlessness

Please let this be an accessible (read: affordable) alternative to Spotfire and Tableau. I can glean from one of the small screenshots it's similar software. How about a video demo? I sense it's a cool product, but if the only way to get

Amazon Simple Pay is quite good and easy to set-up as well. There are no monthly fees and you get a lot of control over the subscriptions, but the payment experience is hosted by Amazon unfortunately.

It takes more than two weeks to become skilled at PhotoShop. I've been using it 10 years and still have lots to learn.

Dear Computer Engineering Barbie, Due to team-wide productivity concerns, we are requesting that you no longer wear skin tight sparkly pants to work. Also, it's apparently led to an increase in time-consuming meetings with the sales dept.

Wow. This really makes our Armed Forces look completely clueless. It's disappointing to see them taking a page out of the China's useless internet censorship playbook.

Based on this article you can "fingerprint" a computer using the following combination of attributes: - Precise timestamp - Monitor size - User agent - Browser plugins - and fonts (!) Really?? I use several browsers, and switch out a few ex

On 9/11/2001 it meant something to be a terrorist. However, these days it means nothing. Everything the government doesn't like is a potential terror threat, and every person acting against it could be a terrorist. There's a big differenc

I would really like a way to move my linode out of the Freemont data center. My linode in Newark, New Jersey has been perfect for three years.

Perhaps the government did avert a short-term disaster. But it's unremarkable that they distributed billions to companies who effectively held taxpayers hostage, threatening "if we go down, you go down with us." There was no way to not giv

There's another name for rejection therapy -- it's called sales work. Typically it's the kind of sales work hackers dislike. But plenty of people have built good careers around a sunny tolerance for rejection. Real estate agents, insuranc

A couple interesting recurring themes from advice lists like these is that failure is ok, and that often times no one buys into a project that will later become successful. This is consistent with my experience as well. I've had probably

One of the things that strikes me as odd is the personal obligation leaders feel to their companies as they prepare to die. In some ways it's understandable since they've invested a huge amount of personal energy into their work, but in a

I refused to learn JavaScript until JQuery came along. Why would I want to waste my time on some unevenly supported scripting language that (pre-AJAX) was mostly used for silly animations or client-side form validation? JQuery has since m

Quite a fascinating graphic. If it shows anything, it's that this recession is deep and wide, and far from over.

I used to get my ass kicked a lot because I didn't really understand the psychology of confrontations, and I was obviously weak. If a confrontation like the one here happens, the most important thing is to not display fear or annoyance. (

I live in Southeast Asia as well, and there is a strong sense of reciprocity here (and no expectation of tipping) so if you do decide to tip, the obligation to repay will be very apparent.

The path to starting a successful business is littered with advice like this. It's certainly not easy, and the price is typically high (relationships, time, health...) especially when starting from nothing. But from observation, it's obvi

Parts of this speech imply the valedictorian was somehow misled into working hard and graduating at the top. Well, I don't like speeches about the evils of money given by rich people, nor do I like speeches about the broken education system

My counterpoint is -- yes, you may end up not having as much money to pay for your kids' stuff, but what really counts are the values you pass on to them. Being poor is hard. But teaching your kids the values of independent thought is bes

This kind of story is indicting of our culture. Outside the US nudity is not so taboo. In my daughter's kindergarten (a nice private school in Southeast Asia) boys and girls share the same bathroom, with no private stalls, and no door on t

If a girl says somthing like: “Remember, as you walk home through the night, be bold,” there are problems afoot. Condescending poetry is a death knell. As an aside -- I've always preferred superficial girls to bad poets. At least the terms
