Every time I read a story about SourceForge I'm hoping it's that they've been bought out by a more reputable company, or the last notable projects have left it for GitHub.

I hold the belief that Google must be getting something else out of Project Zero other than just "we hire the best hackers" bragging rights. I figure they're selling exploits (the ones they don't publicise) to governme

I'm not at all surprised by this and I doubt many others are, either. There is a long and well-documented history of people abusing their position of power. That said, I fear that the "the govt/police know everything you do&q

Having shared my opinion about the Brexit vote on social media, I've experienced a lot of what this article describes first hand. I was truly saddened to find out how many people I know have formed opinions that they outright refuse

You just caused me to discover something interesting-- the title is only uppercase due to a CSS transform rule. When I copy the text in Firefox, it copies case-correctly. Chrome copies it as all uppercase. I think OP uses Chrome :^)

KeePassX ( https://www.keepassx.org/ ) is free and open source password manager. Having never tried LastPass I can't vouch that it's feature compatible, but it covers all my needs.

TL;DR: schoolkid created a program that progressively filled the storage of the computer's shared servers, which began to cause issues-- for literally no other explained purpose other than to "be annoying". Annoying or not, i

"You should put this on your website" "Good idea!" This didn't turn out into the amazing social engineering trick that I hoped it would! Funny nonetheless.

Seeing as the last lot got away with some $81 million, I really hope they beef up their security. What I don't understand is; after discovering fraudulent transfers -- can't they simply be reversed? Or is there too much cross-coun

Off-topic, but I had to ask -- do you have any information as to whether future HGST drives will be manufactured using WD shops, or visa-versa? I'd be very sad if HGST lost their prestigious lead as the most reliable drive manufacturer

Any clues as to what Littergram's legal position would be if they were to completely ignore Facebook? Would Facebook really bother with blackmailing ( court fees are expensive ) a small nonprofit into changing it's name?

While I agree that the comment was off-topic and not really adding to the discussion, the issue is not getting old. The leaks happened barely a month ago, with no obvious repercussions (save Iceland). The story has been swept under the rug

I think this is a great idea, in part because it makes it super easy for the less technically minded to secure their public internet traffic. It also brings VPNs and network security discussion more into the public eye.

Communicate with your client and tell them that your 50+ hour weeks have to become 9-5, or you won't be able to support them as a client any longer. It boils down to a choice between saving your sanity and continuing to work in the fie
