My only hope in this double-case is that if TPS offers an even settlement, RedHat refuses it. Fighting GPL violations is the "good" side, patent trolling the "bad".

I remember having a very good time reading Mitnick's "Art of Deception" ten years ago. A very good overview of what is social engineering, its methods, risks and consequences.

The md5 sum of the UDIDs list contains 1337 on purpose. It seems to me that the easier way to achieve this is either by randomly modifying the order of lines, which they didn't do, or to add/remove some bytes. It could be the 2% diff betwee

Now that's another story ! Kudos to Mr. Schuetz who went through all these UDID to find out what seems to be the truth, for once.

>Because the water is constantly moving, capturing the filtered images repeatedly won't work -- you end up capturing different images for RGB. You're right, of course. But don't forget that the shutter speed was very low on these images

I wouldn't call it "technology". It's more of a successful experiment than technology, to me. Color separation cameras came two decades after, and this was really a technology : making one camera capture at the same time 3 pictures on nega

Interesting points are made, but I miss the "How to find people to outsource to" part. What websites do you use to find competent people to work with ? And many other questions.

Seconded. Other piece of advice : try something like codeacademy, it will take you by the hand, teach you the basics, correct your exercices, for your first steps into this world.

Please as soon as every RGB code is reliably named, release the data / build a userscript / browser extension / photoshop plugin. I could really use one of these, and so do every other colorblind !

I can't wait for someone to release a virus hitting these 3D printers, hacking them to print and detonate a fragmentation grenade whenever his owner tries to print a gun. 3D printing era will be fun, that's for sure.

Stylebot (chrome extension) lets you do that. That's actually what I use for HN, by example. It's a really good extension. Click it, click directly on your page to select a DOM element, enter any valid CSS, and it's saved for your next visi

I did the exact same thing. Migrated my office (6 PC and 3 servers) from Arch to Debian for the reason you give. I don't miss Arch since I'm very happy with it at home and on my laptop.
