Mind explaining to me how this shows that rubygems was compromised? It looks to me like someone just uploaded a gem called "exploit" which takes advantage of a recent exploit.

I like the way you handled that. Just curious, but how often do you end up blacklisting scrapers?

Yep! Thank you. It's also a neglected blog which got a lot of spam, so it doesn't shock me that someone would say that.

A little bit of both. I'm not sure if you saw my previous comment, but I was also the developer of Party Buffalo [1], which is Windows-only and C#. I wanted to learn a little bit more C++ and Qt. The project was a great C# learning experien

Hey thanks! When I was about 13 I started working on a similar app in C# [1] which was REALLY popular, but the code base was sloppy and I didn't really know what I was doing. I made this utility because there is currently no cross-platform

They 403'd this specific link it looks like. An image I uploaded about an hour ago seems to be working still. [1] is the data it returned for the 403'd image. Here's [2] some Ruby code if you want to try it out yourself [1] http://pastie.o

I think that ImageShack still imposes bandwidth limits and other restraints. I can't see why anyone would use it over another service like imgur.

The XML URL is calculated by taking the image's filename (minus the extension), calculating the MD5 hash of that + a static salt (which is visible in the source), then replacing the image extension with the first 10 chars of the hash + ".xm

Yes. It's to avoid a comma splice and a sentence fragment. "Too long; don't read," versus "Too long, don't read," versus "Too long. don't read."

Google has actually made it even less of a hassle by instead trusting a computer forever instead of having the session last 30 days [1]. This can be seen two ways though: less of a hassle for the user, and less secure. I wonder why Google

I'd actually love to have seen Instagram been acquired by Twitter instead of Facebook (if any acquisition had to happen). For me, I don't really use Facebook much anymore except for the occasional sharing of photos, and for everything else

Bungie I don't think ever really did make mistakes though, mainly because their bans were based off of the number of times and frequency at which a player would betray teammates and get ejected from games/back out of games early to avoid a

The only thing that I really didn't agree with was the slide about Adium. Adium is a great chat client that looks nice, is customizable, and supports more chat services than what Messages can. For instance, I sometimes IRC and MSN Messeng

This, and the number of games I had going on at one time were the main reasons for me uninstalling it. The game was fun, up until I had 30 games going on at once.

That's what I had assumed, and I recently started web development so I'm not very educated on some of this stuff, but it seems to me like that could easily be avoided if things are done right. It's a banking site though, so I guess any ext

In my opinion, I'd say Visual Studio > Qt Creator > MonoDevelop. Qt Creator isn't bad, but the debugging is not nearly as great as Visual Studio. For instance, adding a variable to a watch doesn't always work (as in, variables are
