The official FB app for Android asked me if I wanted to sync my friends list with my phone address book and I said No. I would like to think this means they didn't scan my phone's address book, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Have you seen Mark Thomas "My life in serious organised crime" (DVD and Radio)? I highly recommend it if you know the UK at all. In it, he talks about "playing" with the law. There was a law in the UK saying all protests within a zone (roug

Interesting, but the hard part of this is really knowing what is and isn't important. For instance, in the article he talks about how he "has" to publish his reading list at the start of the summer and how he puts it off a couple of months

Also tackling the same problem is http://flattr.com/ , which is still going.

I don't have a mac, but nice idea :-) Feedback: Key mode 1 or 2? Whatever happened to nice labels that don't require looking up in a manual, like "hold" and "toggle"?

Cool, never used hg, thanks. Git might have a module; I've never seen it if it does. However, having it separate to git means we can pull in other data to build up a complete picture of the users activity - the comments made in an issue tra

Ahh, sorry, I wasn't familiar with the shortlog command. I still want to be able to pick out patterns in the data tho. Getting the data out is only half the battle, then you have to be able to pick out something interesting in it. If you se

But then it's just a list of dates and its hard to see any patterns - that was my motivation ... I wanted graphs, iCal data you can put on a calendar and so on.

I once spent a weekend hacking together something like this. http://jarofgreen.co.uk/2011/04/introducing-creepycoder/ The code was done over several quick sessions (there's a visualisation of that in the link above) so it's really scrappy

+1 IETester better than nothing and a decent fallback, but running the actual IE's better than IETEster.

I've found IEtester to be really keen to cache code, to the point of having to clear cache's in settings sometimes - clearly not great for development.

Curious what you think makes them excellent - for example, do they do the process differently in any way?

"This is space that you are not using anyway, so what is the problem?" It's space your not using now . What if the user has no idea Spotify is caching that heavily, then checks their Free Disk Space (maybe they are about to transfer lots o

You all assume its going to be a traditional DDOS or SQL Injection or whatever attack. Look at http://news.yahoo.com/anonymous-targets-norway-killers-manif... That's an attack on something, but not by technical means. Maybe they are plann

So why not start fleshing out some details on how a wave-to-email bridge would work instead? If someone else has already done some great work and made it open, brilliant! Use it :-)

Isn't the real problem that he only has 1 sys-admin for his servers (as far as I can tell)? I mean he can have as many SSH Buddies as he wants but if the alert comes in when he is asleep or drunk or whatever it's pointless. Maybe the alert
