Your DNS may be poisoned. I guess this is another positive argument for SSL cert pinning in browsers so you are less likely to accept the invalid cert

imapsync doesn't work perfectly with gmails imap server. There are multiple scripts out there just to work around as many edge cases as possible.

I just had a look at it, going back from a page to the listings gives a full second of a lag/black screen while the Top article screen is being recreated. You truncate all the article titles. Don't do that, it means I can't read them.

Building analytics from access logs is massively unreliable. I have a few domains that answer for http traffic but only serve "Welcome to nginx". When I tail the access logs I see thousands of requests from obvious bots, but also that traff

Wonderful. I recently built a Facebook iFrame app and burned so many hours trying to make my app look vaguely inline with what a user expects a facebook. This is absolutely the perfect kit for that. It's a really terrible reflection on Face

My poor Violin cost less than USD $100, you really ought to have got a very nice violin for USD $2500! If you still have it, it might be worth examining it and looking for a better resale value all these years later.

I don't know why he needs $1000 either. I bought a cheap older unlocked WP7 device for under $250 just by keeping an eye out for bargains. Contact your local MS rep. I nearly every market, the MS evangelism people have devices for people to

I got my Blade/San Francisco for £75. From time to time there are deals, Argos was selling them on discount, some online retailers were too, Orange had a weekend sale on them a few months ago, and of course the second hand market. But yes y

I have a variant of that Huawei phone charging in front of me. The battery life is appalling - It is charged twice a day. Luckily there are android mods that have multitouch integrated back into the rom. However I paid €25 for it on prepay

I have that phone. I run an Android 2.3.4 mod for it. I now get several days worth of battery life, multitouch and a very smooth responsive UI. That phone has proven to be a very hackable device and there have been some GREAT roms released

How would they know the car was driven in loops for 10 miles in Lincoln unless the device was recording {the GPS coords, engine state, battery state}. This sounds like spyware. I'd love to know if that data was being periodically fed back t

As far as I can tell, there are no Open Source streaming servers that support (realtime) HTTP Live Streaming. I think this is a massive shame and I would LOVE to see one. So I think it makes great sense for Adobe to add support for this as

Lissn.com reminds me of a far more polished "chatroulette for text" except I was able to talk to a lady in Japan for half an hour about the recent tragedy on Lissn, and I didn't have to disclose my cellphone number to anybody or get billed

This is a very interesting item as I believe the 4 out of the 5 user accounts that have commented on this (in the last 3 hours) are part of a voting ring. Fascinating to see it.

Do not do this. I mirrored my Google Apps email account by setting up a rule to forward to my Microsoft-hosted Outlook.com account. It uses the same spam filtering system as Hotmail. A serious problem happened when perhaps 10 spam messages

NaCl is disabled by default on the Cr48 development laptop. I would at least hope this means they start enabling NaCl by default in the ChromeOS source tree.
