Which is just what I did. Nothing wrong with that.
nuttendorfer··on Introducing Outlook.com - Modern Email for the Next Billion Mailboxes
I just wish there was an open source project as good as GMail and maybe the new Outlook for a browser-based email you can run everywhere. Native clients are nice but they are native, so you can't take them with you (Different devices, operating systems).

I like http://jsonip.com/ as well
nuttendorfer··on Decentralised social network built on top of email

nuttendorfer··on It's Playtime - Light Table Playground released
You first need to allow remote scripts to be executed with: set-executionpolicy remotesigned

Then you have to "Unblock" the downloaded ps1 file (Properties, click Unblock at the bottom).

Next you have to make sure that java.exe is in your path. After that you are good to go!

nuttendorfer··on Hello Opera 12
Download manager, BitTorrent support, very good email application included, feed reader, Opera Turbo speeds up browsing if you are on a slow connection by compressing everything on Opera's servers (optional), integrated IRC client.

Opera really is a web suite, not just a browser.

nuttendorfer··on Hello Opera 12
They really improved the responsiveness, it feels as responsive as Chrome now.

Here's more if you are interested: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2012/06/14/twelve-under...

nuttendorfer··on Lessons learned from cracking 2 million LinkedIn passwords
They way I see it, and I'm no expert on this topic, a longer password is better than a short, completely random one. The attacker doesn't know how long your password is, so he will start with short passwords. Each additional character adds a lot more possible combinations, so thats where you get your safety from. Now if you include lower/upper case letters, digits and special characters you have increased the search space as well, so the attacker will have to try even more combinations.

Wow, I had the exact same idea around a month or two ago, but didn't have time to execute.

Please tell me you are sending out invites today.

Just signed up for it.

How does it compare to BoxCryptor where you can also access your files using EncFS?

nuttendorfer··on Schemer: New Social Network by Google
Requires Google+, no thanks. Would have used it if it wasn't for Google.
nuttendorfer··on Response: Call of Apathy: Advanced Warfighter
It's the complete opposite here in Austria, you can show body parts all you want but violence will land you an 18+ rating very quickly.

If you look at the site from a certain angle a background image will be visible at the bottom, just noticed this.

nuttendorfer··on Leaving Instapaper for Readability

nuttendorfer··on Combinator v1.1 - A simple Hacker News client for Windows Phone.
App looks very nice. Just one issue: How can I see comments? This is a major point for me and a better interface would help, it's impossible to read comments on a small screen via the web interface.

The scrollbar could also use more visibility.

nuttendorfer··on Google Public DNS: 70 billion requests a day and counting
I used to use this but switched off over security concerns (Mainly because I didn't want Google everywhere)

I haven't noticed any difference in load times so I guess it didn't do any harm.

nuttendorfer··on Pet Projects
My own pet project is a browsergame: 2 years in I still don't have anything playable because I start over all the time. It began with Ruby, Sinatra and MongoDB; the last version before I deleted it was with Rails, Haml and ActiveRecord. Next time I'll go with Rails, Slim and Sequel.

I don't think I'll ever release anything, but it's fun to work on it and learn new tech!

nuttendorfer··on Ask HN: How to move away from Gmail
And while we are at it maybe a good alternative to Google Calendar? I've been wanting to switch away from these two for some time now.
nuttendorfer··on How close are we to truly photorealistic, real-time games?
A Matrix-like scenario seems pretty possible to me. Except that we humans do this voluntarily(No machine threat) because the world will be in a sad state? Something along those lines.
