"Mirrored projects are sometimes used to deliver easy-to-decline third-party offers, and the original downloads are always available." Well, there's your problem.

Although I didn't look really carefully, it looks like the data only took a single lane change into account. What about weaving into the lane that seems faster, passing several cars, then switchi…

Unemployment sometimes costs the company more after employee's leave. If you haven't paid in enough, they increase the amounts you pay in.

From what I gather, it's a bluetooth device that you plug into your cars OBD-II port. That transmits data from your car to your smart phone. Your phone, then, transmits the data to automatic. So,…

There are only 600k private pilots in the US? Dang, that's a small group of people I'm thinking I should join. Growing up flying with my dad, off-and-on, I had no idea the numbers were so sm…

I can spend hours on Reddit while I only seem to spend a few minutes on HN. On Reddit I go from /r/programming to /r/diy to /r/art, besides just looking at the first page…

I don't think they are trying to make money on this anymore. I believe they have hundreds, or maybe thousands, of these phones in their warehouses that they have been unable to sell. At this poin…

I haven't done any research into what this executive order actually does but language like "not one we expect to use everyday" makes me nervous. This sounds like down-playing. Laws writ…

I can imagine these being offered free by companies who want an ear to talk to. If I'm selling time shares, for example, I might want to give free rides and tell people about it on the way. If yo…

The buy page says it's $3,675. At first glance, free Renderman looks like it's going to cost a lot to actually use.

I have a similar vice... I'm really good at planning things. I've planned and then put together an awesome ultralight backpack, which I've used only a couple times in five years. I real…

Bravo. I started early, 10, but I've heard of others learning later in life. I'm now 38 and still learning.

I was convinced until the main suggestion was to, "Consider throttling invalid login attempts by IP address or subnet." The rest sounded okay but that seems to indicate that the author proba…

Am I the only one that just can't get over all the spam comments on the article?
comment
Although I don't see a way to test it, I'm guessing that the payment page itself is secure and does use SSL but the sales pages don't. Probably using stripe.com directly instead of host…

Paywall? I'm out.

The phrase "There's so many things that can go wrong with this" is really bothering me. I don't know why this mistake catches my attention, but it does. I probably speak that way b…

Chrome should fix this. There should be a way to have an app (in a tab) and also to show the bookmarks bar on that one page. Then an option in the app could turn it on and off. Beyond this apps contro…

Not a Java guy. Not sure the differences between JDK 1.7.x and JDK 8 (8u5 is the current version in the link). I assume it's JDK 1.8.x, but am not sure. Is JDK 8 okay or do we need an older versi…

A competitor using a DDOS against you seems like a very bad idea. A likely outcome, for a popular service, is that you get free press as a result. The news, combined with the way Bootcamp has handled …

Assuming the ransom request wasn't fake. It's pretty likely that the attack came from outside the US. Law enforcement will probably not be able to help at all.
