Heh. When I first saw the document I thought there is no way I am going to read all that now. Surprisingly, the sections that I did end up reading were quite easy to digest (and it's 5am here). I recommend bookmarking it and reading it late

Agreed. As far as I know my password has been "stolen" once in my life -- and that was due to a compromised shell at my ISP. And that's the kicker: _as far as I know_. All the other times (should there be any) I just wouldn't know because I

Don't reuse your passwords. You've heard it repeated over and over again. I do believe that is the solution. Now, of course, I do reuse. But other than the above I just don't see a solution to this particular problem. Filtering both the use

Taking this WAY off topic ... One could argue that it's language related! Thanks for your answer.:)

You use Javascript to create that button, it will not show up if you have NoScript. It's not even clickable. Just letting you know. :) (yes, I was confused too) Edit: And to be honest, if you are asking for feedback it would probably be a n

Maybe we take unrestrained pleasure in news for hackers on Valentine's Day. :) Hmm. But no, it's not just you.

I can't tell if you are sarcastic or not. But the amount of languages supported told me that he took the project that extra mile. But hey, your mileage may vary and all that. (PS. As English is not my native language: Did the latter express

Absolutely a valid concern. I can imagine there are plenty of (non-global) search-engines out there that trip over this issue (in fact, now that I think about it, I don't think I -ever- took it into consideration. Hmm.). I implemented somet

Very generous offer. I'd expect both of them can become somewhat valuable once they have some content and a bit of SEO. I'm curious, though, why don't you just aggregate some content on to them? Perhaps throw up a blog or two, some Google A

And one can also deduct that the event took place not too long ago since he said "people think I've been playing around with my Macbook Air for weeks now" (or something along those lines). Beginning of January sounds good :)

Ah, I actually sent them a mail telling them what I did and a few minor implementation details (and apologized for, ahem, liking their implementation too much). Alas. No money to be made here :)

Damn text. So hard to get sarcasm sometimes. It was, right?

It's funny that you mention it as I wrote something that might be what you are looking for just a few weeks ago. (edit as I re-read: doubtful that this fulfill your needs, you are probably better off with a more traditional Bugzilla-type-of

I guess this is the dilemma with the big fuss the other day ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1103339 ). When I see something from readwriteweb.com now I think the submitter has been "bought" to submit the story. I'm not sure who or wha

When thinking more about personalizing (might be obvious, I don't know): Bear in mind, though, I am the kinda person that likes clean and minimal and don't really like having to manage online profiles on a gazillion sites. But say, next to

a) No. I don't think it's too simple. I mean, look at Twitter? :) b) I imagine people may want to personalize it, but I don't think that is something you need to worry about just yet. Keep it lean and mean. But that's my personal opinion. c

Just a quick note: Pixelcal.com feels like a parked-domain-with-links kinda thing. I guess it's the style under "Upcoming" and "Recently added". Just thought I'd let you know (didn't look further, but going back now) :)

I made a comment saying I felt sorry for Adobe. Then I deleted it. I went back to the site and had another look. Poor Adobe.

It's a bitmap font, so it scales as any pixels would but far from well when it comes to readability. If you look at the 1600% up-scale you get a good idea what I am talking about. I remember making these types of fonts myself back in the Am

The comments were mostly nonsense, but there was one gem that made me laugh: If you aren't a troll, then why were you beneath a bridge, smartguy?

The headline looks a whole lot better than what is promised. Sorry. Edit: Ah. Submitter is a licensee of the technology in question. :)

Knee-jerk reaction says: Obvious or non-obvious software patents will prevent others from implementing a good alternative in that time-span. ...that said, I think you are right.
