There's an existing add-on that (kind of) does this. It checks Google Cache and Internet Archive, among others.

Most VoIP providers let you use any number as the caller ID with a simple SMS verification. So, if you were to have access to someone's phone for a few minutes you could possibly verify it and use the number for making calls and sending text messages from the VoIP service.

I believe the SMS verification is something that companies use to avoid liability alone, technically they can use any number as the caller ID if they choose to.

Great work @jennmoneydollars! This is fun.

Reddit is a good place as already suggested by someone.

Also, I'm an Indian CS student. PM me if I can help.

Me too. I often intentionally click on phishing links to see how well the page is done and where it's hosted.

OP should probably consider adding login pages etc (discarding the credentials) to actually find people who would fall for it, as someone here suggested. Many people click the links just out of curiosity.

Fundamental of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker is a good book. You should check it out.

If you already have a web server, it might be a better idea to host your website there. Github Pages is only for static websites, so you can't use it to host websites using WordPress et al. (Since you linked to a WP theme.)

It's not technical like the many posted here but as the name suggests, it's quite interesting:

Thanks for sharing the stats! Are you still operating PDFy on a 512MB RAM VPS? Did you have to do any optimizations to the web server config to handle the traffic?

It works for me in Firefox 30 (OS X).

Httpie doesn't come close to Curl in terms of features. Its selling points are colourised output (using pygments) and (slightly) better json formatting. Here's an unobstructed side by side comparison for the same request: http://i.imgur.com/Bj2wRkq.png

While it won't replace Curl, it can prove quite useful while testing APIs.

Yeah, that's the one. :) According to that post, the optimal time is 9 AM to 10 AM EST (or 2 PM to 3 PM GMT).

I think the timing and wording is important. Someone here did an analysis about the most optimal time for submissions. I don't have the link right now, but from what I recall it was during week days and starting around 1:30 PM GMT and lasting a couple of hours.

It's a neat little hack to predict your interests among various categories.

The hundreds of grey boxes that you see are actually links to sites belonging to different categories like programming, science etc. and the red ones are those that you have visited (based on your browser history). The basic idea here is of using the CSS selector a:visited to highlight visited links in red, and by clicking the red boxes the users themselves reveal the sites they have visited. The website then uses this information to draw a pretty pie chart showing which categories the user is interested in.

As I understand it, phishing is when you obtain sensitive information from a user while impersonating a site the user trusts. I don't suppose there's any exchange of sensitive information taking place here (nor is it possible if I am not mistaken, unless the website creator has any bad intent).

That's what I was thinking too. Here's a prettified list of the sites used: https://gist.github.com/amjd/acc5e108bfb2f29f050c

Except it isn't phishing.

In case you didn't notice, the article you linked is from Faking News, India's version of The Onion.

Thanks, that worked. :)

It's behind a paywall. :/

Did you try their mobile apps? I suppose after syncing, the decks would be stored locally on the mobile.

For people already using Anki, if there are any decks you can share, please post them in this thread. It could be useful for people just starting out. :)

I am not sure how effective this technique is for learning programming languages but here's a post by Derek Sivers discussing about it:

I was looking for it too. I posted it so it would help others. Not necessarily for karma. :)

I have only two words to say: if only.

On a positive note, now that Microsoft has officially withdrawn support for Windows XP, IE6 may meet its long overdue death faster.

Nice hack! Could you elaborate on why arduino + ethernet shield will be a better choice than raspberry pi + wifi? I'm genuinely curious because I've been looking at both for a hardware project and would love to know the advantages (and gotchas) of both approaches. :-)

That's not necessarily the case. Last month yowsup was taken down due to a dmca complaint by WhatsApp, but my fork of it was still up.
