It's amazing how much of this remained consistent over time. The birth of the windows event loop, resources, even windows hooks started here.

Yeah, Microsoft's macro assembler (MASM) is still quite popular in some circles. ... okay, most of those circles are probably people writing cracks and game cheats.

I don't think border security agents are dumping your entire flash - they're mostly just say, thumbing through messages to make sure you're not attempting to work illegally while on a vacation visa. Dumping your entire flash

In the Android world there exists a system called MultiROM, it allows you to have multiple ROMs installed on your phone with separate data partitions. You could theoretically load one ROM up with all your personal data (and have it encrypte

Not really - plenty of people use TrueCrypt to encrypt their drive without using the hidden OS feature for example.

Try startpage.com, it gets Google results and claims to be more private.

I'd rather not name and shame, but suffice to say a quick test with hping shows this is currently working on a number of my servers, some on larger, some on smaller providers. And all it takes is 1. You definitely have to hunt around i

The problem with it as a compilation target in my experience is that interacting with other libraries becomes challenging - the JS ecosystem is now huge, but if you want to use many of those libraries from a wrapping language, it's pos

I've done this hundreds of times via PayPal and never had an issue. Maybe CCs come with different expectations or Internet companies just understand what not paying anymore means, but no issues so far.

I actually find it cuts out extremely few companies. Even Google I now pay via PayPal - a few businesses who can't for legal reasons do business with PayPal or for trust reasons (ie: chargebacks cost them big as their side of the deal

I'm not sure - did any good really come of the Obama admin's open data? I don't think I saw any going to particularly good use myself at least. While open data in general may be good, if it produces no real valuable results i

Thanks, this is exactly what I suspected would happen. Same thing as the last panic when they switched the web server and pages on major Obama policies vanished. Just an entirely new webapp moved in. Defend your policies, whatever you stand

Yeah, I like the idea of services like Blendle that will give you a mix of content providers for $0.25/article, but that's just too steep for me. If they could get that down to the subpenny level I might go for it. I could probabl

This seems like a good idea, but I'd really like something a little less slanted than NYT. Any good options?

Is there any reason to believe this won't just be moved to the Obama admin archive or something? Seems like it could just be part of the website change process.

I'd say it's perfectly acceptable for site owners to perform "click fraud" too. It's their computer after all, they can use it however they want. If click fraud is what they want to do, go for it. It's up to th

Because other browser vendors would accept such a plugin as they're not ad networks. This seems to me very much like a case of Google being too big, having their hands in both the ad market and the browser market and abusing that posit

Yeah, it might make for slightly weird flow when clicking ads, but you could totally do it. So instead of doing that and being respectful and competitive Google decided to ban the extension.
