A bit of a note regarding REST: RESTful services are as vulnerable to CSRF as anything else. See [1] for more information (and I'm really sad that there's no second post, like mentioned). However, since RESTful services imply no state on

I actually like that a lot - relatively short, to the point, and doesn't have any conflicting intrinsic meaning.

Yeah, I found "crust" to be rather counter-intuitive. I think one of the reasons that bugs me is that "ret" and "mut" don't have any intrinsic meaning in English, but my brain insists on reading "crust" as if it were a word. I'd personally

Another, similar project is the Minipwner ( http://www.minipwner.com/ ). It's effectively a TLINK router, flashed with OpenWRT and connected to a cellphone batttery pack, with a very small USB drive for storage and swap. It's also much ch

Not to nitpick, but the article has several other grammar mistakes: > Curfew and other civil orders were imposed in Yanam because of the uprising led to the murder of the Regency president. > Eight Regency Ceramics workers were inju

There seems to be a lot of hate for antiviruses here on HN. I have this question, then - what kind of features would YOU want from an antivirus? If a startup was to launch tomorrow with some sort of antivirus or similar product, what woul

I'd be careful of sites like this - there are bound to be people trying to capitalize on the takedown by hosting phishing sites. Another "MegaUpload came back" site is: hxxp://megavideo.bz Don't visit it without a patched web browser, eith

Absolutely stunning effect - nicely done. Just a small report - using Chrome 16.0.912.75 on Windows 7, waving the mouse around absolutely kills my CPU - the browser process uses 75% of one core.

I actually agree with your point there - if the employee wants the privilege of being able to quit at a moment's notice, they should also be willing to give up their employment protection. However, if the employee is willing to give notice

Counterpoint to the idea in this article - I don't like the idea of at-will employment. I'll keep the political or ideological ranting off HN, but in short, I don't think that being able to fire any employee for any reason whatsoever is a
