   I have also pretty much given up on HackerNews now too. I used to love finding novel and interesting material from any subject. Now I just see the same posts over and over again: - "top 'n' mistakes starts-up make" - "best 'n' ways to ensur

   wow - that must have taken a LOT of organising! And how do they know which website I'm going to visit next!?!

   You could even implement raid striping! For extra security and store the 'stripes' in different filing cabinets!

   ok, so are you also saying that it is impossible for an attacker to intercept data from a standard HTTP request? My next point being that if standard HTTP is also vulnerable to such attacks, why doesn't the browser display a warning on EVER

   good point. ok, I should probably think carefully before inventing a security standard 'on the fly'! I guess I was thinking along the lines that I could add my site to a Google service (just like Analytics) and when people accessed my site

   yes, I picked on Chrome just because that's what I was using at the time, I am aware the problem probably exists on most browsers.

    I think I would be more relaxed if browsers used an additional icon to indicate if a site identity is verified or not. And just because somebody has paid for a site certificate and gets a nice green padlock icon on the URL bar does not mean

    I'm sure NASA just invent important sounding work so they can play with rockets. ...do the Jet Streams 'really' need monitoring? they have probably been doing fine for years!

    It could be... The application basically allows you to enter contracts you have - for example software licenses or contracts with suppliers and as those contracts change over time (ammendments and addendums), and contract terms come and go,

    Yes, I've noticed this quite a lot recently, that somebody posts an article that become popular, soon after there appear 'secondary' articles which seem to be trying to ride the same wave. It could be genuine, but I also suspect people just

    Ok, apart from the 'plug' about LiveDirectory, I really wish there were some standard like the: http://example.com/services.json http://example.com/data.json as suggested in the article.

    I have also used keyboards that have extra buttons for things like this, but somehow I have felt reluctant to make the effort to use them because they are not standard and most other keyboards dont have them, which would frustrate me more!

    If keyboards had these button by default, this would actually allow the user interfaces to be cleaned up and have a lot of these 'non-metaphorical' UI componentes removed - "closing a window", what is this a metaphor of? When I close a real

    I am amazed at how poorly modern keyboards support our highly visual modern user interfaces. Wouldn't the following keyboard buttons be generally REALLY useful: - Open - Close/Exit - Save - Copy - Paste - Menu (to list available context opt
