If some unwitting 3rd party was hacked and used in a crime, you can't just go over to their house or business and "seize" their property. When the criminals on cops run through your back yard, do the cops turn the inside of y

I wonder if Mr/Mrs ad44@cityscape.co.uk talks to his friends and family like that, what an asshole. From an outsiders point of view, linux projects are filled with people like this. Linus, Ulrich Depper, etc. Really turns me off from

Can anyone comment on how this actually works? Is it mint.com style where they require your username / password and they store them in the back end to do stuff? Or do they use everyone's API to get this? Does the music actually pl

It's similar to when malware authors pack and encode their stuff. At the end of the day, it does not stop a determined individual from reverse engineering the code (and then publishing the technique). BUT it does make it more difficult

Roughly $200-400 / month from Admob on a single app that I put out 2 months ago. App is ranked Top 5-10 on Google Play for a fairly common English keyword. Same app available on iTunes, but little to no traction. I get 400-800 download

I think the torque output would probably break internal drive train components as soon as you hit the accelerator on a gear type setup (you also cant use the back tires for output, it will flip the car over). You actually want / need s

HTML + CSS + Javascript is obviously far from perfect, but is there any other way TODAY to write a single piece of code that will run on just about every computing device in circulation? Honestly, I challenge anyone to write a simple UI (

web.py is still my go to for lightweight webapps. I won't start a big discourse on the pros and cons vs. other technologies, but I will say it is incredibly easy to setup and use. The current github page is here: https://git

This may be kind of a dumb question, but does Go use the stdlib C stack or are they talking about their own stack? I'm assuming that Go has a standard / vanilla / kernel aware C-style stack living somewhere right? Then the st
