I love how at the end, they're all like "hey, our competitors do it too!"

You don't need data to back up bold claims when your ego is the size of a watermelon.

[rant] If you're going to claim that your strong opinions are facts, please treat them as such and give citations or back them up yourself. [/rant] Ruby is not my favorite language…

Storing IDs in session cookies is not something the Rails framework introduced. Smh. It's easier to blame someone else's code though.

So the provided solution is, essentially, to store a list of active user sessions in the database and use that as a reference during authentication?

I love this game. It starts out simple, but as your country's relations with other countries change, the rules for letting people in and the amount of security in place changes.

"Diet" and "weight loss" are often used interchangeably, sure, but can you think of any instances in which diet Pepsi or diet Coke has been advertised as actually causing weight lo…

I agree that calories can have different impacts on people. We all require a certain intake of calories to achieve a certain weight or build. There are a lot of different variables…

Er, this whole topic can be a little misleading. I haven't found a single reputable study that claims diet soda itself causes weight gain. Rather, just as the reasoning in this art…

I love how people jumped all over Go on that thread, without having any idea of what they are talking about. Gotta love the Internets.

Yeah exactly. This shit is ridiculous.

This might sound harsh, but... Maintaining software is hard. Blaming your own incompetence on a library or an entire language is easy. I've been guilty of this at times, but when y…

Has anybody seen their bulletins? Their first one advised people to go celebrate their "success" by drinking Champaign. Never mind that their exchange just lost ~half of its net va…

And now, guess what MtGox advises everybody do? Go drink some Champaign! To celebrate their massive success! I'm not kidding-- look at their latest bulletin on why they're suspendi…

I'm sure it's been stated already... And well, I'm no Bitcoin fanboy, but didn't the price just go back up to what it was 2 days ago? That hardly sounds like a "crash" to me.

If it's as accurate as the team says it is, this is pretty astounding IMO. They'd have to be capturing some sort of baseline in the beginning of the conversation, and recording rel…

I'm not an expert on the matter, but to be fair there are lots of things you can do to secure your wallet. Some of them are even discussed in that thread.

I also had problems. I couldn't create a new account with my IP address, even though I just moved in to my new apartment. I had to use Tor. Weird.
