Yeah, I just assume that today's 23-year-olds (or 13-year-olds) should all know this, and had the same experience as me, using notepad.exe to alter/test some html, which was grabbed from a "CD-ROM", that came with a &quo

All bitcoin has done so far is make the people with as little as $50 to spare (in 2011, 2012) into rich people. The rest of us in recession hit Europe have merely been screwed by it. I'm not saying it will crash or won't, but it&#

Yes. Usability fail. OS X often has no scrollbars. Unity has none? My mouse has no horiz-scoll. Wed designers stop doing this. We aren't all using tablets!

Wow: Spam Filter Not Triggered By Typing "Nigger" 85 Times. Some new gold standard for shittyness in software. I know a lot of Googleplexizens moved to Fb and Apple, but, huh????

I feel like my personal site should reject all current web design practice and just have Times with the occasional {h1} black on #ccc with #00f links. You'll never come up to the standard people expect in this world of ajax, tumblr and

So, and I'm not advocating it, as long as you legalise or conceal the source of the money invested, you can hold money and earn any [capital appreciation against your currency] without your government tax authority knowing that you eve

What's wrong with that word. Women I know use it all the time. They don't mind being the subject of a transitive verb instead of the actor. One conquers them because they have huge ... tracts of land.

also because people, not just men, who become leaders are psychopaths, so any damage they do is just a fun bonus, not something they'll sweat, a nice addition to the money, sex and power they get. And yes, sex too - power turns women o

I don't understand. Does the article say that changing your ip is wrong and precedent-setting as such. Has Aaron, with all respect to him, left us ironically with the tyranny of true names? Legal precedent nationally across the US?

"The SSL alarm is down, back up the redundant firewall so we can override the EXE bus!" Nonsense. but the idea of SSL alarms would be good.

Yes, the package as is will not route the bittorent traffic over tor, but since this is for people who don't even know how to use proxies, some of them will probably start configuring their torrent clients to use the same proxies.

since "the killjoys" (actually quite accurate in this case) AT WIKIPEDIA won't let me put the words 'LUDICROUS SPEED' in blink tags or capitals on the Spaceballs article, what's the point in having it anyway?

Rather than rant. !Just search twitter for 'operation IGNORE Assange' which I have been running since he went in there!

Isn't this now, like, the Duke Nukem Forever of Mac text editors?

Big mistake in the first para. This is what happens when MSM covers tech. Tor and the discretion of the sellers makes Silk Road EFFECTIVELY anon, not bitcoin per se. The sellers have your postal address and your bitcoin data.

The police have ALWAYS been given the tools to do this kind of thing by the courts and parliament. (in all of Europe, at least.) There are loads of offences still on the books that could mean almost anything, but which can be used as ground

If they can only do 9000 out of 62 million, that's impressive, and not at all a too large number. Why is it suddenly news when the police (who are subject to full government oversight) do this, but not when MI5 do it, who aren't?

This should be read as an indictment of what the site has become, not just an example of it. "Where's the petition to NOT pardon him!!" I will do it. I will ragequit. This site is turning into a libertarian silicon valley ver

Supply and demand. The system is pricing their labour as if they are fungible, so numerous that they are worthless. Because they are that numerous. But you can't tell people not to breed without taking away their rights. Really, was a "righ

Are there resolvers that block all of it instead of known bad sites? Can you do anything on your own OS or browser to block it? Can someone make a browser extension to do this?

How can one block .su (Soviet Union gTLD) from resolving?(m.apnews.com)

A European and multi-lingual version of facebook that doesn't enforce American puritanism rules on porn etc and torrents, would be more popular, like tumblr.

Swearing in a language other than your first counts a lot less. As if were to throw "merde" or "fick" around. In Sweden, while speaking Swedish, they will casually say fuck instead of "fan!" or "helvete!"

Yes, that'd be lovely. No more talking about lbs and such. (I'm British but we were not taught imperial measures.) But they'd still be saying things like * "Where's Chechnya?" (if under 15 in 1995 you have an excuse) * "I love being in Engl

The point that's up for debate is: Are maimings and killings that are designed to change US govt policy more important than other maimings and killings. I think the answer is yes. I agree that we don't know yet if that was the aim here. I a

When the Met(ropolitan Police) or Gendarmerie Nationale or Carabinieri raid a property, the terrorists they are looking for have only household improvised weapons. Every European is today, once again glibly pointing this out (touché). When

as a general rule, avoid the word favorites altogether in any software, unless you are certain it will only be used in the US. We spell it favourites, and "favvOrrittez" as you seem to spell it, really grates. Esp in IE, whereas Net/moz alw

Yes, but Danes are quite prepared to pay 25% VAT and up to 62% income tax so that among many other things, The (evil statist) State can afford to buy hugely expensive turbines from Siemens just to avoid giving money to Arabs. And those load

Well since the wind is due in large part to the rotational inertia of the the planet (the air stays still, the earth and everything on the surface moves through the air) the earth's rotational kinetic energy is being sapped. It can't last.
