Exactly. You read about things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A and you just have to wonder. That's an Internet backbone, who knows what they're capable of parsing and retaining from it. And if the capabilities existed to data

I'm a Python/Ruby developer in Chicago originally from Michigan. If you want to stay close to Michigan for whatever reason, but need a job, Chicago is a great compromise. Chicago has an excellent Python user group: http://chipy.org/ Get o

Same for me. I find that someone usually says exactly what I was thinking, but phrases it 10x better.

It's also not true for most hardware, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be true. I can be hopelessly optimistic with my blanket statements.

It really depends which large company you work for. My very first job was at an average large company and it was rather soul crushing. I currently work at a huge media company that has a terrific work atmosphere/culture. I think the differe

I use a spare computer and a couple virtual machines. The only thing that makes me nervous is the possibility of natural disaster or hardware failure. The Pogoplug looks like it's geared towards file sharing, but it's very promising.

The best case scenario for cloud computing would be some sort of device that you could run on your home network that would provide services like email, web hosting, and file sharing. It would have to be painless to setup. Maybe it could bac

I have a subscription. In terms of hard technical information, Phrack has them beat. Still, I find most of the articles in 2600 interesting. The tone of the magazine is rather neutral, compared to Phrack which sometimes reads like it was wr

The toolbar was so bad that I turned No-Script back on. I had given Javascript the benefit of the doubt, but sites like that ruin it for me.

Rather than force fun, I think it's much more effective for management to simply loosen up and let people be themselves. I work at a large company where management doesn't really care how people go about their work, as long as it gets done.
