I wonder what impact this will have on 3rd party devices like the great Obihai that interface with Google Voice? http://www.obihai.com

This looks like an interesting project. It combines a number of other open source components like Puppet, Pulp, Candlepin, and Foreman into a management application that has both a Rails front end or Python-based CLI.

You just need an account with some liquidity on every exchange. You could automate an HFT bot that executes a buy order on one exchange and a sell order on the other simultaneously.

Duh: Customers with a last name starting with A through E go in the drawer labelled A-E, etc. We just implemented a RAID 1+0 solution that involves a fleet of entry level workers furiously photocopying every document and putting them in bo

Interesting article. While it is entirely possible to do this, professional traders will soon move in and arbitrage any price differences between exchanges. As competition increases, amateur exchanges that manipulate the price will suffer

Bitcoin will recover, but right now it is going through a liquidity crisis: Only a small percentage of BTC users were using Tradehill, a competitive BTC exchange. People have rushed to create accounts there, however it takes a few days to

I didn't mean to imply they would intentionally do that to take out competition, although that is indeed a possibility. The main purpose of having a stolen virtual server would be to launch attacks from. The truth is even if you rented a v

A popular method used by hackers is to sign up for a virtual server with a stolen credit card. If they are careful and only access it through a proxy, their hacking attempts are virtually untraceable. With the amount of hacking going on l

Not everyone's transactions were rolled back by the NYSE, but there were some people that had bought shares for 0.01 that did get rolled back.

This guy doesn't really have a leg to stand on. Just like when the flash crash happened on the real stock market, transactions are going to be rolled back. One thing that has become abundantly clear from reading all of the comments on the

KeePassX is still vulnerable to a keylogger on your local machine. LastPass with 2-factor auth should be more secure than KeePassX, however, your point about it being proprietary is well taken. I also think LastPass has a very good reputati

I really like his interview process. Having you actually install WordPress and troubleshoot a broken MySQL installation, while having full access to Google and other resources, is much closer to real sysadmin work than the type of intervie

This incident has just shown that Bitcoin is a serious store of value, and hackers are targeting the exchanges because they are the weakest link in the chain. Unfortunately, right now, it's still amateur hour with MtGox running an insecure

The MtGox breach inspired me to switch to LastPass. I used to do what you did, and MtGox was part of my "medium security" tier. Now, I've decided that there is no real effective solution other than randomly generated passwords unique to ea

It seems like you can have the best of both worlds if you hire someone to take care of the support issues for you. The primary developer of a game as successful as Battleheart should not be wasting his time manually issuing refunds for use

I don't think that would work here. It would be like a TV station claiming they didn't have to broadcast the caption stream because they were just retransmitting content from a media company. Bottom line is the ADA says you must broadcast

English captions help a lot for someone that doesn't speak English as their first language. She has a pretty decent grasp on it, but when actors talk fast, it can sometimes be tough to get it all. Captions help.

I hate to see lawsuits like this, but unfortunately it is the only way to get captions on the majority of content. TV would not have captions if it weren't for the brave fight of some deaf activists. I never really appreciated captions muc

Android is winning just because of the free license. If Samsung, Motorola, and HTC could load iOS on their own hardware, Android would be dead tomorrow.

It all depends on the implementation though, right? If Safari just does a simple check to see if the source URL is something like http://adserver.apple.com then it would be trivial to hack DNS and send WebGL to your iOS device. I can def

Ease of use? You forgot the part where you had to remote desktop into your home PC to download the music. iPhone users have had a functional music store on their phone since 2007.

I never advocated piracy, but don't you think it's just a little bit scary that ICE has the power to shut off domain names just because a company like Sony said there was naughty content on it?

Amazingly, ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) is censoring parts of the Internet in the US, while we try to export the uncensored Internet to the 3rd world. I guess the Internet should be free, as long as you don't violate copyright
