He posted the videos to YouTube? How can someone possibly be smart enough to hack a cable modem to spoof its MAC address, while simultaneously being boneheaded enough to post fraud instructions on YouTube? Shenanigans!

Consistency is the most difficult part; burn-out is the enemy of consistency, and the bedfellow of overzealous beginnings. I know a lot of people who tried to go from zero to 60 in a week, and after 7 days straight of running & weightl

So, to get involved in this "TDNAM," all you have to do is pay GoDaddy's $20 backorder fee and wait for the expiration date to hit?

What, you mean if I complain hard enough, the knowledge will not zap itself into my brain, or magically appear in my browser window? Preposterous! Shenanigans! Chicanery! Joking aside... I'll have to start snooping around for some good t

I doubt it. What you're doing informs your body language (and vice-versa); I'm sure one of the reasons girls like muscle shots is because the guys in the pictures look like they're showing off their muscles, and guys with their pets loo

This is my problem with mathematics. The concept of a "soft maximum," the principles behind calculating it, and its startling similarity to a hard maximum, are all fascinating and exciting to me. Look at that! Two completely separate fun

tl;dr: Google Voice still has no "keep your number" support; poster attempts to forward a phone number to another phone number that forwards to his other phones; hilarity ensues.

Also consider that the speaker was talking to a computer layperson. Depending on what "level" you are speaking at, it may behoove you to simplify things and remove terminology like "server" or "client" from what you're saying. She may jus

This isn't "news" per se, and every good web developer should already have internalized a lot--if not all--of the information in this post. But, I found it again while browsing today, and enjoyed it as a refresher.
