In our office we really like the MultiTable.com tables. These were the cheapest high quality tables we could find. Ikea now sells adjustable desks, but the last time I looked they didn't show up on the US version of their site. Ikea pr

Sounds like a classic Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack. Just a guess, but from the short description I suspect if you have control over DHCP you can get iOS to use your proxy. From there you can use something like mitmproxy ( http:/&#x

This article reads like something out of Asimov's The Foundation series. The author seems to suggest that secrets will be impossible in the future because no one will have any loyalty to one organization. Oh, and we can blame the Econo

Granted, sometimes flipping bits is important. Then you write that part in C. There is no reason to pay the development tax of C for everything else. Not when you can build it in Perl, get it working, and then find the hotspots and convert

Uh, hello!? Blekko is a web scale search engine that is built using Perl. It's not the language that makes handling big data slow. It's the algorithms and how you move the bits around.

The same report lists the NRA as the most trusted non-profit. Not exactly the ringing endorsement the Mozilla's blog makes it out to be. However, Mozilla should get some branding kudos for having enough people associate privacy and trustwor

Oops, I was wrong. It looks like AC/DC went digital back in 2007 with an exclusive with Verizon. http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/08/02/us-acdc-idUSN01367... I'm sure everyone who shelled out $12/album with Verizon's DRM is still rocki

Here is an example web grep that I ran to find the top ranked sites that used kissmetrics.com for user tracking. Last month there was a huge blow-up over kissmetrics possibly using ETAGs and other hacks to track users across multiple sites.

This project really needs to release a True Type font of their dyslexic friendly font. What's the point of creating such a thing and then net letting it out into the world where it can do some good. EDIT: I commented too soon, after reading

No, I understand. I implemented the first suggested "fix" in your article that you say "won't work." You seem to think caching two copies of a file is unreasonable (it all depends on how big your site is I guess), but in our case all pages

Amazon Cloudfront does support gzip, just not dynamically. So it requires uploading two versions of every CDN file, one uncompressed and a second that is compressed, being careful to set content-encoging and content-type headers correctly.

OK, so what they are saying is that The Onion is throwing away 66% of its traffic by serving up 404s instead of serving up page views. Wouldn't they 1) have a better user experience by redirecting to the correct URL 2) have more page views
