In the UK we tend not to use CEO, we tend to use the term director or managing director. In my day job I'm the technical director at Mandalorian. It's a cool job, but I'm generally pretty overloaded and usually underpaid. I don't do it for

The two simple ways of addressing this are to use some sort of folder level authentication (e.g. htaccess and htpasswd or equivalent) and to make sure it's not referenced in sitemaps or robots.txt, nor linked to from elsewhere on the net.

I tried to edit after I made the comment as I read it and thought it was a bit harsh, but sadly couldn't for some reason. My point was that all of this takes time, and doesn't sound like something a lean and mean startup would do. Buying do

For some reason Markov would score 'Seals' extremely high next to 'Baby'. The more it would pop up, the more people would put 'Baby Seals' into the IRC channel and it became a common signing off phrase. Baby Seals, Steve

Early on (this has been going on for years), I used to use the algorithm to generate replies. The problem is that most of what Markov creates is no good (he started as a bot on an IRC channel as someone quit IRC, so while not a replacement

I like this, from the examples it looks really useful and I wish these guys well. Kudos to them for building something awesome!

While it's easy to jump to conclusions, it might be a good idea to have a think and maybe ask some questions first. Dropbox provides a file sharing service, Boxopus uses this to provide torrent downloading services. Should Boxopus become po

This is really really good. For my sins a few years back I made a similar profile on linkedin[1] but made it as obviously fake as possible while still pretending to be real, it's an open secret in the UK infosec industry and still gets emai

Or we can keep it as is, undemocratic and non-functioning with fiscal union on the horizon all controlled from and dominated by Germany. I'm amazed no-one thought of that before!

Which looks like a soap opera at best and has no teeth as all the decisions are made at the commission and council level. It also has precious little by way of financial transparency or accountability to the public it claims to represent.

No, my argument was one of racism in the initial response to what was then the top comment, specifically about the term 'muslim countries' within the context of Pakistan. This is wrong as islam is a religion not a race, although as the comm

Yes, because what you wear on your head is equivalent to 100 years of technological and cultural progress. Thank goodness no-one in the west wears hats anymore, ban them!

Plenty of Occupy protestors around the US have been abused[1][2]. During the civil rights movement in the 1950s the US used water cannons to disperse crowds of non-violent protestors. In the US you have 'free speech zones' far away from eve

I see where you're coming from but you're incorrect. It's not about sweeping things under the rug. It's the tarring of all 'muslim countries' (whatever that means) with the same brush, as though we ourselves in non 'muslim countries' don't

There you go with the 'muslim countries' thing again. It's not like you can lump a whole load of different countries into one basket and make sweeping generalisations. "How can you even compare holocaust denial laws to what muslim countries

I can't believe you're trying to defend this position. I'm really quite shocked. Human rights abuses against local people for dissent happen all around the world, including the US and the UK. In Germany you can be jailed for denying the hol

Even so, the singularity bit is editorializing a link to a white paper on an equally significant scale. Nowhere in the link is the singularity referenced. As for the point about it being for non-technical people, I don't understand where yo
