http://simplynoise.com/ is also worth trying.

What was Yegge's split?

I never mentioned smaller sites. Still, if you mean a smaller site operating like YouTube, contacting them directly would allow it to be taken off the internet rather than just out of Google results. Still, they might contact Google as well, and thus harm their rank.

I trust Paypal more than most websites. They take steps like using SSL site-wide (with HSTS) and X-Frame-Options, for example, which a lot of e-commerce websites don't. Of course, this is negated if the user doesn't trust Paypal, or doesn't understand what it does.

Website owners probably dislike the loss in branding when using Paypal, which makes them look less professional.

YouTube responds to DMCA requests so I assume copyright holders would contact them first, and not need to send notices to Google (search).

Is anyone familiar with the Secure Remote Password protocol, and how secure it is in comparison to hashing and salting passwords using algorithms like bcrypt and PBKDF2?

The two Textmate posts would make more sense with eachothers' titles.

You mean 5000 times over? This assumes, however, that if you didn't have TextMate, you wouldn't earn anything at all (and would still work full time). If you paid for it, only used it at work, and it made no contribution to your earnings, it wouldn't pay for itself at all, except in terms of your own happiness.

It might make sense if you were setting the computer up for a non-technical user that might install trojans. It also might be the default in the future.

Since most people (probably) just stay logged-in, would it really be worth the effort?

No.

> Girouard noted the funding is different than a loan because there is no guarantee of repayment.

Since when were college graduates "students"?

What would you count as tracking? Would websites only have analytics or A/B test results on users that have printed, signed and sent them consent forms?

Assuming the laws are removed at some point, there would still be a huge transition between companies needing truck drivers and not needing truck drivers.

They could let you delete deleted items permanently, like Dropbox does. Storing data you uploaded with no way to delete it does have privacy implications, since it may be looked at by people working there and could be a lot more sensitive than a cat photo.

I'd say a term that is more unfairly given a thumbs down is giving them a license to user content, since it's impractical to operate a user-generated content site without this.

Vaios are expensive? They certainly don't come close to the cost of Macbook Pros.

They are UK products, couldn't find a reasonably sized VAIO on Amazon.com. The VAIO has lower specs, though.

A tablet is more likely to be used as a computer replacement than a phone.

As far as I know, it's a competitive field and the number of people working in it is limited by the number of positions.

> After losing his job the state and federal governments lost thousands that he was paying them in income tax revenue in the short term, and in the long term his reduced earning potential over his lifetime will cost tens or hundreds of thousands.

Someone else probably got his job, and paid the same taxes.

Which is why you make sure that you can easily switch to something else if you need to.

That assumes LinkedIn helps companies/workers fill positions/get jobs 1 year sooner than they otherwise would have (if the pay stays the same).

In that case, it is harder to provide. As far as I know, most SSL certificates just validate the domain name, while code signing certificates validate the developer/company identity.

Also, people might be worried about uploading private photos.

This reminds me of: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2009/10/23/the-ie-css-bug-which-cos...

Would the virus actually delete itself by writing over the data? If not, it would be possible to detect that the suspect had the virus.

Someone wanting to frame someone else is likely prepared to put in a lot of effort anyway.

Well, you don't need to just use it for GitHub projects, as long as people wanting to contribute know your GitHub username.

Using a different definition of the word power doesn't make it any less literal.
