Cook 1929 , your name suits you as you are still trapped in the 1920s. As a white South African who was born in apartheid I saw first hand just how evil the system was. As for your examples you are after with regards to " one instance

Question: How was this list generated, ie: how do you find out which hash number has a lot of bitcoins in it? I thought that was completely hidden.

Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is for McCain to retire. (Ask the NSA for proof of me being a good boy)

When I read the title of this article I was so pleasantly surprised. Who would have thought that McCain (an old warmonger who is power hungry) would say? After reading that I now see that he wanted him fired, not because the NSA targeted

Completely disagree with that. That is like saying you would prefer to have your own brother punch you in your face than a stranger. It hurts a lot more because you are meant to look out for each other, not distrust and stab each others

Their service was terrible? Maybe you just had some rather unlucky experience. We've been using RackSpace (I'm based in the UK) for almost 2 years now and their service has really been fantastic. To give you one example, I had a

I'm busy reading "The Masters of Doom". Here is a little snippet all about patents with one of the world's best developers of all time, John Carmack. "Carmack turned red. “If you ever ask me to patent anything,” he

@DominikR, actually your question should not be downvoted at all as it looks like you genuinely want to know how you could solve this security problem. First off, it is important to know that all IT systems have a scale from "weak&qu

@algorias, I once considered people like you to be weird not to communicate on FB... but for a while now I have really started to mistrust FB. The revelations by Snowden most certainly played a big role, but now that they are asking for fr

@icebraining, You're right! The file has indeed been changed a lot lately. In fact as can be seen here: http://lerdorf.com/static.log.gz that file has changed in size from: 2602 bytes to 5821 to 1279 all in the spac

It is a false positive as can be seen here: https://twitter.com/rasmus/status/393258147025932288/photo/1 Bascially it is complaining about a JS file that is actually meant to be there.

According to Twitter post by Rasmus ( https://twitter.com/rasmus/status/393258264034422785 ) this has been like this for at least 1 day and still has not been fixed. Something tells me that Google has way too much

Damnit, after reading that I simply had to buy myself a copy of that book. These two guys were my childhood heros. Although my mom hated them thanks to all the hours I spent playing Keen or Doom and "not doing my homework"

How did this reach the front page of hacker news!? This is nothing more than an advert for sending money overseas. Oh and for the marketing team running this blatant advert, here's a free tip that will help your SEO a bit, add a 301 r

How much does it cost in total?
