   If you can, it'd be great to see the lessons you learned (or even some code) for Twitter-OAuth-Django.

   I think AdWords has been disruptive in advertising. The concept of extremely targeted ads being unobtrusively shown to you only while you're seeking information is huge. Compare that with offline CPM ads that are shown to tons of unintere

   Yeah, I know. I would much prefer the call to action be more clear in the link: You should <a href="...">follow me on Twitter</a>.

   The only thing I really dislike about it is having more "here" hyperlinks. Even if conversion rates are slightly better, where would the web be if the majority of anchor texts were "click here"?

   I'm also a college student and web designer myself, but have stayed as far away from Rentacoder as possible (except when outsourcing parts of my own projects). Competing on price with people overseas isn't a place you want to be in. Get th

   Best line: "I’m not sure if there are API interfaces into the application but, ironically, it’s crying out for a proper desktop client."

   And it also only includes tokens that are short enough to be bruteforced, essentially in JavaScript. And it would only work for tokens that haven't already expired (isn't it pretty common practice to only let a token be used once?). All in

   Right now you're showing duplicate entries (the same entry of value 31 is showing from two people)

    I wasn't trying to imply that Wave is only email 2.0, and the part about "what would email look like if invented today" was straight from Google during the initial demo (a marketing pitch, maybe, but I do believe this was a real question th

    Having had a Wave account since the week of its demo at Google I/O, I am extremely impressed with its possibilities. I believe that if anything will replace email in the next 20 years, it will be this. The question is do we really need to

    uhh.. sorry if I broke it. It now says the smallest hamming distance found is zero, so either you had a major breakthrough or something went wrong. Edit: it's back up to 43, a nice improvement from 48 from a few minutes ago.

    I hope you aren't disappointed when you a see a new update on your AJAX postback page that looks like a new winning string, when you see it is simply a note from me. :) (I also generated a few hundred thousand hashes for you)

    I think if you're going to do this it'd be better done as a server side redirect, like through .htaccess However even though I'm, in general, against URL shorteners, I wouldn't do this because I think there are some situations where they ar

    Good to know that in the U.S. at least, if the passport is closed, the RFID is shielded. Anyone know of a successful attack against a closed US Passport?

    It sure doesn't sound like they gave anyone the "green light" to publish anything.

    "They aren’t happy about it, but they are able to live with it, they say" They may have given the green light, but it seems like the alternative wouldn't have been any better.

    This would be really useful if you could filter by subject (search term or hash tag). It'd be a great way to see pictures of a live conference or news event as it was unfolding (to go along with http://almost.at/ )

    Interesting post from a competitor (not something you see every day). I've been a ServInt customer for a couple years now and have been extremely happy with what I get and their level of service for $50/month.
