I could not agree with you more had I said those words myself. A year ago I had a great job as a sysadmin, then I got laid off. Shit happens. I got a job doing landscaping for $10 an hour til I could find something better, and when winter

EDIT: Ignore that. I figured a slide show would not skip slides when you use arrow keys for navigation. Can I get a direct quote? I'm not seeing any mention of TC on p15 or any other page.

As I read his comment I was going to write basically what you did, but I thought "No. No, that is too nerdy." So thank you =D Relevant: I do wonder though if the disorientation would be less for someone with complete deafness in one ear

I'm working on a perl script that will serve as a migration assistant from WhatsUp Gold v8 to Nagios v3. My company has 1,300+ hosts and 2,500+ services, all in various groups and states of health. It is my job to port over everything. Th

I'm a sub-par C programmer and the comments definitely helped me out. Instead of assuming the reader knows what each function does, they are explained in enough detail that the average reader could at least Google for more info based on ke

I see what you're getting at, but I think you're being a bit douchey about it. Of course blind people do not have a "right" to access his content. Neither does anyone else. There is no law anywhere that says "X person or group has an inal

I would assume this would be standard forensics. Might not be tools for their particular file format, but it would be possible to carve the data.

As a sub-novice C/++ programmer myself, it's awesome to see a program like this being discussed. The source code is relatively short, it's a simple enough implementation, and all the feedback in the comments here is teaching me things I wo

This is terrible. Music should stimulate the mind, not dull it. Creepy little men "singing" is not going to make me more focused, but a nice piece of Baroque will certainly do the trick.

Because like the rest of human history, the most interesting details come to light long after everything has been said and done.

That could end up going south quickly. Scenario: randomly browse to 4chan randomly click on link randomly have FBI raid your house a few weeks later I like the concept, but it's not something I would run personally unless there were

I think the purpose is to show how easily some of these scare tactics can be defeated. This took what, 40 minutes to get posted? Less than an hour to thwart what is being hyped up as a big deal for anonymity. As an aside, I think you shou

That was honestly my first thought when I read about this. I could see Mehran playing this in his spare time. It would be a pretty great end-of-semester project too, having a competition like this in the class. Everyone would know Java,

$1,000 says this will be featured in a heist movie in the next year. This is exactly the kind of tech I used to scoff at when the uber-skilled hacker pulls up a 3D map of the target building.

You can do SQLi against your own database 24x7 and you'd be just fine in the eyes of the law.

I don't think this is irresponsible, exactly. Mischievous, yes, but there's not a ton of damage being done and it's something we can laugh at and say "Hey, that was pretty good."

This is the closest to what I intend to do. I wanna display interest without making it obvious that I am gonna push for the best offer from both parties.

by azelfrath 15y ago
I was thinking that, but a small part of me feels like that would come across poorly. I mean I know I am supposed to be looking for the best that is available to me, but I don't wanna turn them off by asking so bluntly.

That's what I was thinking, but it just occurred to me that perhaps the position hadn't been created yet. I mean yea, they still could have said something, but if I had been given advanced notice about a job that didn't exist, it would sor

Got one job offer, took it, then got another. Etiquette?

Export as PDF option might be a bit sketchy. You can inject whatever you want into the URL and it'll end up in the PDF. Not sure if it's sanitized (I am not familiar with the PDF file format) but if not, this could lead to exploitation. O

Vouch. I remember spending the entirety of my math class writing games on my TI-83+. I still hate my instructor for wiping my memory when she thought I was playing them and not writing them.

Imagine if all The Greats did this: Wikipedia, Google, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, hell even 4chan. 80% of Internet traffic (just pulling that number out of thin air) blacked out? People will notice. People will care. Wikipedia has the r

<sarcasm> Actually yes, physically. The bug is in a beta version of Skynet. </sarcasm> I tend to agree with you, and that's what my heart is telling me, but aren't there legal issues involved? I seem to recall the standard
