Problem: Chosen name was generic and had bad connotations. ( apparently both "hacker" and "school" are considered bad currently ) Solution: Choose random geeky name where you can acquire the domain name. There is still a

Article: Reinvent the wheel, because if you just mount whatever wheels fit the axle they will inevitably work poorly for your purposes. Wheels work just fine. Choose the best wheel from those available and tweak it as desired. Test it to ma

Point 1: Don't focus on just computers. If you can succeed with computers you can succeed with other things. Response 1: This would be better stated as "Be well rounded". The article goes on to say some gibberish about unders

I would have no problem with the NSA creating crazy intrusive hacking tools if public citizens were allowed to do the same. If a regular person created tools such as what the NSA made they would get in a heap of trouble, even if they did no

"Everyone else is jumping off the cliff. Just go with it." Just because other people agree to such ridiculous conditions, and they are not typically abused, does not mean that it doesn't happen.

Never sign such sweeping NDAs like this. I've had jobs try to get me to sign such and I won't sign them in a direct hire scenario either. As it is written if you talk about an idea with them and think of something good in the proc

No; the price is ludicrous compared to even existing smart watches.

Summary of process: 1. Used mail.com, which was apparently vulnerable to some hack that allows resetting the password for accounts. 2. Hacker was able to setup call forwarding for the person's phone, with only the email address to prov

LinkedIn, as used by the majority of resources ( not recruiters ), is free for what is needed. Why is it assumed that it is "unfair" for a company providing a free service to hoard the data you give to them? If you don't like

This just further demonstrates the need for an open data platform that is not specific to some specific set of data. That is; a generic system that is user driven, allowing for varying complex views of standardized data sets. Such a system

I could envision this as being a neat idea. I am thinking of it as volunteering to beta test a variety of techy stuff, while also being willing to wear advertisement related stuff ( such as tshirts for tech stuff ). Assuming the price is re

Token in your pocket that auto locks the computer the instant you are pulled away from it? Google "proximity lock"; they cost like $20.

That can easily be explained by the following example, which is much more sensible: var a_number = 10; a_number = { blah: 10 }; var a_plus_two = a_number + 4; Better yet you can simply say "Javascript does not have strict typing"

I dislike javascript as much as the next guy, but the example in the article is absurd: function DoSomething (foo) { x = false} var x = 2; DoSomething(x); var y = x - 1; If you change "foo" to "x" then this works as expe

Best part of that; they arrested him while his encrypted computer was on, with him sitting there logged in as DPR. Why do computer criminals not have a big red button to smash that self destructs their computer; or at the very least shuts i

The basic structure of the page should be simple div based layout enhanced with CSS. Any data that must be rendered in JS ( such as dynamic tables ) can be done by outputting the data in JSON format into the page, and then calling the JS to

3 of my friends all lost their jobs and were interrogated by the FBI before they came and questioned me. Just because it "seems safe" doesn't mean being associated with the wrong people can get you into trouble.

It sounds as though you are already set on making each system a single page application. Is there some reason for this beside it being cool and trendy? If you go the SPA route, you will need developers who are well versed in whichever JS fr

You should be very cautious about ever making long posts in any way tying yourself to people on terrorist watchlists... People generally tend to reuse specific phrases. It is entirely possible to figure out who you are just from having a go

Denial of service attacks can be very expensive in terms of monetary damage. That is the weakest form of behavior that Anonymous engages in. This is hardly "pennies of damage". Consider how angry you are reacting to me; then consi

You don't need to actually murder someone to be considered a terrorist, nor to actually effectually cause people to die. If you advise and encourage others to do so, to a strong degree, then you are just the leader of the terrorists ra
