Please, shut up.

OGC··on Wozniak: “Actually, the movie was largely a lie about me”
Who the fuck is Carms Perez?
OGC··on Asciiflow
Yeah, i remember when i did something similar in Visual Basic when i was 14..
OGC··on Sources: We were pressured to weaken mobile security in the 80's
Yes. He (and other people) generated Rainbow Tables for the cracking of A5/1 and published them via Bittorrent. His mainpoint was that tapping GSM convos is not only feasible, but reasonably feasible even for private persons.

Also, imo, the main problem with the GSM or mobile security schemes is, that they seem to have been _deliberatly_ weakened and/or use ciphers that were known to be insecure.

This news just reaffirms what a lot of people have been suspecting all along.

OGC··on The Selling of Attention Deficit Disorder
> Google wasn't very helpful with this

Try harder, have some amphetamines

OGC··on X server in 5000 lines of Common Lisp
So its a really hard way to run an X server on top of an X server?
OGC··on HTML: font color=”red” becomes green
_with_ ascii quotes, it works (it's red)
OGC··on How I Set Up My Home Network – NAS and Raspberry Pi
My pi shipped with a plastic, semi-transparent box, if you don't mind the pink colour, you can turn it into a makeshift case.
OGC··on Show HN: Probabilistically Generating HN Post Titles
"Redditor Explains Why They're Wrong"

Like that is going to happen.

OGC··on Show HN: Gmail.js – JavaScript API for Gmail
AFAIK Gmail's implementation of IMAP is kind of borked and stuff like the "smart" categorization (e.g. social networks, notifications, etc) doesn't reflect into imap folders (or RSS their RSS feeds, for that matter). Labels do, though, with a workaround.
OGC··on Ask HN: Where am I lacking with my script sales?
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/teemya/r0ash.com/demo/reform/source/lib/recaptchalib.php on line 254

clicking features, then reCaptcha.

More in general: There is not a single line of text explaining (on the demo page) why i should buy this.

Speculative: I think there are typo3 extensions / wordpress plugins doing the same stuff. Maybe you should branch out to these.

OGC··on On Penny Arcade, Exploitation, and the Myth of the Do-Everything Rock Star
> I don't regret the time I spent there, and I still help put out fires from time to time

What the...? Why would you do that?

OGC··on Bitcoin Companies and Entrepreneurs Can't Get Bank Accounts
"What consumers are not told is that the Dinars can be redeemed only in Iraq, as most of the established currency exchange houses and banking institutions cannot convert the Dinar to US dollars. Since no exchange exists for the Iraqi Dinar, dealers can charge whatever they want to sell and buy back the Dinars. "

So, it's not "a lot of scam", it's ALL scam.

OGC··on FixYT
YT could disappear, but you'd have to pour a _lot_ of money into it.
OGC··on Snapchat is Intrinsically Worthless
This just dances around the issue that snapchat is probably used to take lots of nude pictures. Yes, you can take a screenshot, i bet loads of people don't know / trust the other party to not to take one.
OGC··on Php.net detected as a malware host by Google Safe Browsing
That site probably was hacked, too.

OGC··on Pushed to the limit as a banking intern
> If I choose to work 12 hours it's my free choice, not affecting you

That really depends on what you're doing.

OGC··on Help me figure out how I lost this bet to an engineer
No, it's not just you. It's spectacularly creepy, lacking reflection _and_ a thinly disguised ad for their site/product ("look, our engineers are fucking evil geniuses! Amazing."). And of course, like others already have said, HN fell for it.

This stuff should worry you, not be lauded as some kind of amazing engineering feat. 4chan does this all the time and they call it doxxing.
