Dude, why can't I just browse a bunch of products for sale? That's all I want to do, I don't want to sign up to your site. I just want to see what's listed and possibly buy some parts. I'll probably check back again tomorrow if I see a few

So Assange, who has actually developed part of Truecrypt, doesn't understand encryption. In that case I wonder what the rest of the tc team is smoking to let him contribute :p The use of AES is clever. It will be crackable at some point in

I managed to hit my bank's internal security team this one time. Pretty cool to chat to them at the time although they mentioned as little as humanly possible about their policies for obvious reasons :) My account basically got itself into

I think so too. AFAIK Google's computing infrastructure is such that if performance issues arise on anything critical enough they just can shove more and more servers and bandwidth into the mix and expand capacity elastically Plus it's amaz

Ping of death was +++ath0 which causes a dialup modem to hang up. I have no idea why most modems did this. But by god it was a lot of fun on IRC when I was 14 or so. I still remember the hex string for +++ath0 you'd need to pass into 'ping

I'm looking to write an open source app with basically similar video chat functionality. Could I ask what's the best way of implementing this? I'm guessing WebRTC would be the way to go... once it is released at least

Using private internal classes or something. Even with namespaces it'd look okay, so you'd go InternalFrame.TitlePane.MaximizeButton.Painter() or something (I've forgotten Java tbh) and that actually looks okay to most programmers IMO. I'm

Don't install insecure crapware like Adobe Reader. Chrome has an internal pdf reader. I've personally also got Evince installed.

Urgh. Asking about the best flatware doesn't really move me -- why else would anyone buy expensive flatware -- but the best ramen? It's a manifestation of this generation's way of living. Not through appreciation of food, art, music, but th

Hmm. First thing I did was hit Examples then start messing around with Demo and I understood immediately what was happening. They should probably emphasize this approach IMO

A Minecraft game would make a hilarious database. The fact that it's probably pretty trivial to CRUD it programmatically outside the Minecraft client by manipulating save files is a great bonus. Start using the DB. If you get bored enough y

From memory I think WGA was cracked..? That said my current machine is Win7 enterprise that I somehow, if only through brute force rather than actual know-how, managed to convince that its install had been validated.

If you're multitasking on a single monitor, all you have to switch between tasks is the taskbar, or alt+tab. Alt+tab switches between windows, but most tasks require a collection of different windows. Eg right now I'm stuffing about on HN a

Is it just me or is this kind of ugly in the first place? We're trying to mix logic that executes on each element in a sequence, with logic that controls how to iterate over that sequence. That is, a "return 42" statement will tell .each to
