Sure, it's also possible that they store the encrypted passwords in a handwritten ledger and decode them when you log in. I was talking about what Newegg is most likely doing in real life.

Well, looks like it just officially became a "real" trojan. On that note, turn off "automatically open safe files" in Safari, and use Chrome or Firefox instead anyway.

It's definitely possible that they're storing the passwords using reversible encryption. However: 1) In my experience, it's often harder to set your app up to use reversible encryption instead of hashes, especially if you're using an existi

Summary: people who maintain popular projects can sometimes be jerks because of all of the pressure; it is not an excuse to be a jerk when submitting tickets and/or patches. This is why I try to submit patches instead of tickets whenever po

Kind of a bummer that "HTTP streaming" only works with Ruby 1.9.2. I'm not against upgrading to Ruby 1.9.2, it's just that Puppet doesn't support it yet.

Just an example of the "amount of detail": the game tracks things like beard length, nausea level, ratio of indoor time to outdoor time, noise level, and it simulates the entire history of the planet before you start. It's just too bad he c

I do not tolerate working with assholes or having assholes working for me, but I am more than happy to let them work for someone else or on someone else's project and enjoy the fruits of their labor :)

If I remember correctly, this isn't the first OS X trojan by any means.

Very nice DNS management, faster page loads, reduced bandwidth usage and server load, and all of the nice security features (blocking malicious clients, XSS protection, etc). And all of it with practically no configuration and it's free unl

I've been using Cloudflare since the beta, and I think I love them almost as much as I love Apple.

I'm all for WebGL, assuming that the performance issues will eventually be worked out and it will have decent browser support. Other than the obvious use for games and videos like ro.me, I think tasteful use on normal webpages (with gracefu

I get bad results with melatonin. It definitely knocks me out, but even taking half a tablet before going to sleep makes me feel really groggy the next day.

Pretty good, it's basically a max of 4 Engage energy drinks, or 2 of them and a mix of Nos or Monster. I don't feel jittery at all, but I do get a headache if I don't get any caffeine within a few hours of waking up. I used to get a little

I haven't checked out Liberty Reserve, but I have a Dwolla account and it is pretty non-shady.

Strangely enough, I've found that since I increased my caffeine intake (to around 900-1200mg/day via energy drinks) I've been sleeping great. I usually go to sleep around 10pm, wake up naturally around 3am, and take a 1 hour nap around 3 pm

It would be kind of a cool experiment to try to get everything past the first $5000 in client work (or whatever covers living expenses, taxes, savings, and beers in your area) per month paid in Bitcoin. There needs to be a really easy way t

Well, I guess if you're already paying for the music via that tax you're entitled to pirate it.

Screw head escalation and countermeasures seem to have a lot in common with DRM. In fact, I'm going to coin the term "Physical Rights Management", or PRM :)

Most of the time, when people have problems with Ruby on Rails it's because they fight with it instead of doing things "the Rails way". It used to be that a big downside of Rails was deployment, but with things like Passenger, Moonshine, an

One thing I've noticed is when running a WebGL demo in Chrome on a Mac, if another window partially overlaps the WebGL animation it freezes up the entire system. It's obviously still a work in progress, but I think it will be fantastic when

This is simply amazing. Admittedly, I downloaded the leaked album minutes before seeing this link, but after watching this 4 times in a row I now have the song stuck in my head and just pre-ordered the album on iTunes. Oh yeah, and if you s
