There's also the issue of installing Keypass itself. I see it has MSI packages available, which I know sysadmins at big companies like. There might be some other technical requirements for the password-storage software itself. I've been c

It's reasonable to assume that if Hitler wanted you to die, he wouldn't poison you with a sandwitch and risk being called a woman behind his back. Anyway, motivations do not matter one bit when it comes to evaluating whom to trust with your

I was hoping to get feedback on why a contestant would be able to compete very well with Pascal over C++. Because that's what he's been practicing with. CS courses in schools in Eastern Europe are tought in Pascal, or at least used to be.

It breaks for input as simple as "for x = 1,10 do print(x) end". It's a shame I can't use Lua for browser scripting instead of JS.

I have all my logins saved in Firefox and there's not one site I'm using where Firefox is able to autocomplete OpenID details, it forces me to enter my ID, leave the page, authenticate with OpenID, go back and submit. It needs to either die

This is amazing, I wish it were interactive, learning history was (and still is) difficult for me as a visual learner.

I think the speed increase comes from += creating a new string object every time, whereas << literally concatenates it. Programming the hunches and guesses way on the HN frontpage makes me sad. http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/St

Hilarious outrage. I keep telling people to learn some basic networking ever since I fired up a traffic sniffer on a Lan when everybody was still using POP3. Facebook forcing https on all it's pages won't solve anything, people need to educ

The 21st-century desktop isn't based on the fat-client desktop of the last 25-years. It exists on the Web in Web-based applications and software as a service (SaaS) and what I call "Content as a Service." If the content providers have thei

Actually, the fact that it's obviously important that the people, who administer and have access to your IT infrastructure, think what you're doing is legal and moral, is rather interesting. Ignoring the content of these files for a while,

I'm terribly sorry if this is an ignorant question but does this somehow apply to manually solving a, say, 5x5?

Exactly, just give me the gist of the illegal or highly suspicious activities amongst an otherwise perfectly legal invasion.

Me too. I know a lot of people with degrees in Law, Linguistics, Literature (in their respective languages) and so on who moved to the US and now have regular jobs because their degrees lose any meaning when changing the country. You go to

Care to elaborate on why you chose C/C++ instead of Java for the backup client?

It is widely believed that a flourishing democracy requires an independent, diverse, and financially solvent press. Most of Europe has a socialized independent press, in Germany it's financed by a soon to be mandatory per-household charge

Sure, suprise me. I'd really like to see a video of someone typing for an hour or two on an iPad without needing a chiropractor afterwards and in the end producing more text than he'd produce on a laptop or netbook with a stock text editor.

"this application turns this flat thing on the lap into the most efficient tool for writing that I know of." Writing using your index finger on a touchscreen seems like a huge step back in terms of productivity and ergonomy to me.

Your post and the intro video on the page, e.g. "Hypernumbers : the Team spreadsheet...". Also, requests to team members to update their figures in a spreadsheet do not end in sad smilie faces unless it's a team of girl scouts.

I don't know if there's a consensus on using ellipsis in today's communication but it really, really annoys me.

I've been resetting people's 8 character passwords lost due to Post-Vacation-Insomnia for ages, I'd really like to see them expect me to remember a 50 character password under stress conditions.

Well, computers and the web are just tools, like a hammer. Due to its fascination and novelty when we were young it's easy to forget that while we're here discussing the intricacies of building a better hammer, others are out there erecting

Also, keeping in mind that online book sales account for only 15.5% of all books sold (at least in Germany), it's not the end of the printed book by a longshot.

I can finish a 500 page book in about 4-8 hours. Building the scenes in my head is much more of a bottleneck than the actual mechanics of reading. Complicated scenes, e.g. The Pillars of the Earth, which is heavy on architectural terminolog

If it gets added to SPOJ ( https://www.spoj.pl/ ) I'll give it another shot. The JVM is just a frustrating platform when it comes to experimenting with new languages.
