It's a shame this comment got downvoted. Be it serious or tongue-in-cheek, it was very enlightening.

The way you phrased your comment can only lead to arguing semantics of the word “terrorist”. As risk to the establishment, a “subversive” can always be framed as a terrorist with a little bit of creativity. Can you volunteer a significant d

“Apologies to Hans Christian Anderson” — with the whole TED PR thing just starting to cool down, I found this typo actually quite charming. The surname is spelt “Andersen”. :) EDIT: I wonder, did you write this with anyone in mind or is it

I'm at a loss here. I'm very careful not to reject this kind of "My Success Story" thing straight away. Too often it feels to me like the kind motivational self help with no insights or real lessons to be shared — until I find out someone

I'm not sure if Mr Hyde's definition of a personal possession was a (well-played) PR trick or simply a certain lack of accounting intuition. Which is a shame, because his putative balance sheet should be a fascinating thing to think about.

I'm not a security guy. I don't know what reasons other people might have. I actually started it as an experiment, and grew fond of it for no specific laid-out reason. Actually seeing what trackers and other such spyware are embedded in m

As user of NoScript [1] (and its Chromium sidekick, ScriptNo), I'm often let down by pages posted to hacker news that have poor or no graceful degradation [2], and that often makes me feel like writing a comment complaining about it (which

It looks you changed the URL of your blog post too? I got two different RSS items for the post and the update, and the original post's location (/articles/relationa-algebra-in-bash/) no longer resolves. Was that intended?

I'm curious about how your experience compares to mine: more often than not (say four times a week?) I see at least one of those indoor media terminals blue-screen dead. At any rate, their content is 100% generic (the only exception I ever

I've been in the financial consulting business for a while and I'm still sometimes stunned by the kinds of things clients will send me as unencrypted email. What's the legal status of email? Is it treated as if it were "just like snail mail

There's anecdotal evidence, a little bit further down, of this actually happening: someone mentions Facebook thinking that their pictures of a trip to London were taken in England, Arkansas! http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/nkktm/faceb
