DominoTree··on Show HN: Replace CAPTCHA with Proof-of-Work
If the backend is based on http://www.hashcash.org/ then it should be trivial to do so.
DominoTree··on 3rd Circuit vacates Weev's conviction [pdf]
As someone who was questioned by the AUSA and FBI in front of that federal grand jury, from the onset of things, the prosecution wasn't interested in finding justice, only in twisting everyone's words as much as necessary to secure an indictment, and later, a conviction.

I'd recommend these guys - https://rational.org/index.php?id=1
DominoTree··on PHP compiler for JVM
It would certainly make migrating away from PHP easier, one library at a time.
DominoTree··on Weev Needs To Walk
This hack didn't rely on doing anything with iOS other than sniffing the traffic iOS sent to AT&T. I think what they were attempting to say was that Xcode's iOS simulator may've been employed.

Another interesting fact: weev did not actually write or run the script that harvested the data, or talk to AT&T's servers. That was all Daniel "JacksonBrown" Spitler, who was sentenced to 18 months of probation. weev simply shared the list of harvested data with Gawker, under the condition that it be redacted if published, as proof that the leak had occurred.

Think about that; the guy who actually did the hacking got probation. The guy who simply alerted the media to the hacking got 41 months.

DominoTree··on VK.com's PHP accelerator – kPHP source code
I deployed HHVM on a production site as a test, and without changing a single line of code, on average, I saw nearly a 60% decrease in page generation time from the standard PHP binary. Incredible.
DominoTree··on Yanukovych leaks
I'm pretty sure he meant the actual documents and not the header text.
DominoTree··on [dead]
The defense released that photo during his (her) trial, and used his (her) gender identity issues as part of their case during his (her) trial. I don't think that this is really breaking news.
