If anyone from GitHub is reading this, I know that many of us would like to help. I imagine that the mitigation of this attack has been very costly. Is there a place we can donate to help offset the cost of this attack? Maybe I will purch

I'm unclear as to why or how this is entirely useful. This article is probably missing some of the key findings that would make it interesting. In reality, killing a MRSA bacteria culture is trivial and could be done by a child. The

Agreed. It also doesn't work for HTTPS, for obvious reasons. But, so many sites use HTTPS by default that the savings might not actually be that great. I think I will use this though when I am tethering from my iPhone on my laptop as

From looking at the Javascript injection code ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/03/27/github_under_fire_fr... ) it seems like the quality of the script is pretty amateur. They inject jQuery not once, but twi

$4,600 for a 46mb hard drive. That is $10,000 adjusted for inflation. I think a DVD which holds approx 4600mb is probably a few pennies today. How far we have come, absolutely incredible. I guess this means we should reach the singular
