Yeah, I just assume that today's 23-year-olds (or 13-year-olds) should all know this, and had the same experience as me, using notepad.exe to alter/test some html, which was grabbe…

All bitcoin has done so far is make the people with as little as $50 to spare (in 2011, 2012) into rich people. The rest of us in recession hit Europe have merely been screwed by i…

Yes. Usability fail. OS X often has no scrollbars. Unity has none? My mouse has no horiz-scoll. Wed designers stop doing this. We aren't all using tablets!

Wow: Spam Filter Not Triggered By Typing "Nigger" 85 Times. Some new gold standard for shittyness in software. I know a lot of Googleplexizens moved to Fb and Apple, but, huh????

I feel like my personal site should reject all current web design practice and just have Times with the occasional {h1} black on #ccc with #00f links. You'll never come up to the s…

So, and I'm not advocating it, as long as you legalise or conceal the source of the money invested, you can hold money and earn any [capital appreciation against your currency] wit…

What's wrong with that word. Women I know use it all the time. They don't mind being the subject of a transitive verb instead of the actor. One conquers them because they have huge…

also because people, not just men, who become leaders are psychopaths, so any damage they do is just a fun bonus, not something they'll sweat, a nice addition to the money, sex and…

I don't understand. Does the article say that changing your ip is wrong and precedent-setting as such. Has Aaron, with all respect to him, left us ironically with the tyranny of tr…

"The SSL alarm is down, back up the redundant firewall so we can override the EXE bus!" Nonsense. but the idea of SSL alarms would be good.

Yes, the package as is will not route the bittorent traffic over tor, but since this is for people who don't even know how to use proxies, some of them will probably start configur…

since "the killjoys" (actually quite accurate in this case) AT WIKIPEDIA won't let me put the words 'LUDICROUS SPEED' in blink tags or capitals on the Spaceballs article, what's th…

Rather than rant. !Just search twitter for 'operation IGNORE Assange' which I have been running since he went in there!

Isn't this now, like, the Duke Nukem Forever of Mac text editors?

Big mistake in the first para. This is what happens when MSM covers tech. Tor and the discretion of the sellers makes Silk Road EFFECTIVELY anon, not bitcoin per se. The sellers ha…

The police have ALWAYS been given the tools to do this kind of thing by the courts and parliament. (in all of Europe, at least.) There are loads of offences still on the books that…

If they can only do 9000 out of 62 million, that's impressive, and not at all a too large number. Why is it suddenly news when the police (who are subject to full government oversi…

This should be read as an indictment of what the site has become, not just an example of it. "Where's the petition to NOT pardon him!!" I will do it. I will ragequit. This site is …

Supply and demand. The system is pricing their labour as if they are fungible, so numerous that they are worthless. Because they are that numerous. But you can't tell people not to…

Are there resolvers that block all of it instead of known bad sites? Can you do anything on your own OS or browser to block it? Can someone make a browser extension to do this?

A European and multi-lingual version of facebook that doesn't enforce American puritanism rules on porn etc and torrents, would be more popular, like tumblr.

Swearing in a language other than your first counts a lot less. As if were to throw "merde" or "fick" around. In Sweden, while speaking Swedish, they will casually say fuck instead…

Yes, that'd be lovely. No more talking about lbs and such. (I'm British but we were not taught imperial measures.) But they'd still be saying things like * "Where's Chechnya?" (if …

The point that's up for debate is: Are maimings and killings that are designed to change US govt policy more important than other maimings and killings. I think the answer is yes. …
