I wonder how this will pan out for Tumblr with Marissa Meyer at the helm. If we look at Flick (bought by yahoo in 2005), it hasn't seen much innovation or new features in the last 8 years and has been mostly coasting. I wonder if this will

Its very possible that the contest is being run by an outside agency and Apple have been know to proxy in content from the outside agency and display it inside an IFrame, similar to here.

Shame, one of the few Symantec products that didn't come with an accompanying sigh with use. Can't say I'm surprised, iirc development was halted in 2010 with the firing/reallocation of the team behind it.

For StackBlaze servers effectively had 2 available hostnames, the actual logical hostname (<function><id>.<lan>.<datacentre>.net.stackserv.com. e.g. wb1.g1.rbx.net.stackserv.com, db2.g1.stb.net.stackserv.com)

While if you are just implementing Key/Token auth for an API, Digest might be `good enough` but does not escape the problems associated with Digest, such as its reliance on MD5 (broken, if your token is complex and longer than 32 chars it r

Is it possible that they are using a VPN service (as opposed to self hosted) and other users of said VPN service have committed fraud and they just drew a bad card in the IP pool pot luck?

While I could probably write a long list of my bad experiences with MSSQL (or just any database really), I think a lot of the authors grievances come from it really solely being an enterprise application while ignoring some of the good poin

If there is an opt-out scheme, I cannot see this becoming that big a deal for the majority of customers and their service will likely continue working as it did before. (I am not saying there aren't downsides to CGNAT for consumers, but the

"Breaking the internet" is a bit far-fetched. More like you should take considerations for the small percentage of people who don't have javascript/disable javascript/use NoScript (Yahoo places disabled rates at 1-2% [1]). However using Jav

Definitely a interesting take on sharing data over a LAN but I would be worried about the repercussions of using broadcasts to move a large quantity of data on a larger network, cool for smaller/personal networks though.

The problem isn't necessarily with services providing Open APIs/Data Exports, it's with people themselves and the trust they ensure to the services they use regularly. Pretty much all of this advice most of us should know: along with regula

This is hardly a new attack, and certainly isn't Android specific (as suggested by the article). Similar attacks have been demonstrated on PC RAM for the recovery of similar encryption keys.

I honestly don't think that The Pirate Bay admins will chance rising to this. It is probably a (very obvious) ploy by CIAPC to trick some of TPB's admins out of hiding and put them in a court setting. Rather than rising to the bait with the

Judging the whole of PHP and its community on the basis of one very poor tutorial is very unfair to PHP and its community. There is a lot of good PHP code out there and successful applications which don't/rarely suffer these kind of exploit

I can see how on a slow connection (dialup,midband,slow broadband) this will speed up the connection, however on a decent-ish internet connection the compression will probably just offset the latency to peers. For web pages the only increas

I don't think GitHub's hosting of free repositories costs them that much. As you said yourself, it is just essentially free hosting so the largest cost will probably be storage (which is pretty cheap anyway now) and then the much minor cost
