In the cases cited under the CFAA (such as https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=124545279862007... ) it seems the employee deleted data and private info. In this case, no data was deleted or other computing property

I'm curious as to what law, exactly, they would be breaking. Sabotage in the US code is defined mostly in terms of war material and damages done to physical "national defense" properties. Certainly an employee would be fired

There is Phil, the free crossword maker http://www.keiranking.com/apps/phil/ but I haven't had the best luck with its automated fill. Lately I've been using Crossfire http://beekeeperlabs.com&

Kind of wild to think that it was a project funded by Princeton and personally supported by their Dean of Engineering for decades!

Writing your own random number generator can be a lot of fun. Lots of sources of entropy out there. Inspired by lavarand[0], I wrote an RNG in Python based on the output of the Global Conscousness Dot[1] (which is a ridiculous project in it

There is something absolutely magical and enchanting about Dead-related shows. I went to dead & Company at Citi Field last week and seeing a parking filled with tents, converted buses, hybrid structures, and all sorts of creative mayhem
