Not just that... even renters whose leases do not forbid sublet, or actual property owners, are not allowed to rent for terms less than 30 days because they likely have not obtained the permit. It's said that this permit is onerous or expensive to obtain and so "is usually ignored."

If you can go to the store and buy one, and put it on your network, and your network monitoring software can show you what it's doing, and it's unambiguously doing something that's easy for you to do, and makes it easy to get something that arguably ought to be a secret without your having performed any heavy duty rocket surgery...

It's public! Any of your customers can gain this knowledge without anything you didn't just plain give over to them! If responsibly disclosed and the company won't do anything about it, then they ought to be exposed. Now what is it that was exposed again? "Private" e-mail addresses?

Come on!

Especially Comcast DNS. But Don't use DNS at all. The fact is you can skip DNS and use a /etc/hosts file. This isn't 1982 anymore, disks are huge and it only takes a couple hundred megabytes to host it. With a cron job to rsync it every hour you no longer need to worry about manually updating it either. (It's simple enough to pass the grandmother test!) For those rare cases where a name isn't in my hosts file, I just request the page using an email-to-web service.

No, he has a wife. Thing is, they're into the swinger scene, so she fucks other guys and, well, so does he. Seriously I don't know or particularly care if he's gay, bi, curious, whatever. He claims to get a lot of pussy (due to being a linux celebrity and an alpha male).

uhh, actually it does. The "startup" definition varies but it generally boils down to not having a viable business plan. It means throwing feces against the wall and hoping it looks like art. Why would a competent programmer work for a high risk company without a viable business plan?

Yeah, I'm pulling a No True Startup and saying if they have competent programmers, they're not a startup.

If you've ever seen Pulp Fiction, visited San Francisco, or been to a LUG or LinuxCon, you've probably seen a leather-clad gay sex slave, aka gimp.

It seems like every time you turn around, another bitcoin exchange is hacked or some startup social network for dogs is secretly uploading all your phone contacts over clear text or a retailer is storing unencrypted cc numbers and passwords. Some of the worst offenders are brogrammers. Is there anything we can do?

So Microsoft avoids buying a failed phone co and Balmmer rage quits. What's the downside? It's like killing two turds with one flush!

How do you think courts restructure debts when a grain elevator goes bankrupt? There is literally nothing new here. This is shit that Hammurabi figured out.

Now that MtGox is dead, Coinbase will assume their mantle. Not as the pre-eminent exchange, but as the most fucked up exchange. They'll gladly lock up your money, cancel trades weeks after the fact, and make trades at prices you didn't agree to. I expect regulators will shut them down at some point this year (criminal charges are also possible) -- I hope your money isn't anywhere near them when it happens.

... or covered in shit.

Do you still trust bitcoin? Do you still beat your wife? Bitcoin is just like 7 Up. Never had it, never will. I prefer the Real Thing.

As if I don't already get enough spam on Facebook... no thanks!

(Actually, my facebook feed consists mostly of updates from The Onion, it's honestly a joy sometimes to visit the News Feed.)

Psst... you actually put ADA in the subject of your post.

That's odd. For me, I can click on Valdrax or (32670) to get to /~Valdrax

On Beta, clicking your username would just expand/fold your comment.
