1. Find/think of a project

2. Hack it together

3. Go to #1

The only way to improve your skills at something is to practice doing it. When you hit something you don't know how to do, look it up on Google or ask a question on StackOverflow (make sure to search first though). Eventually, after many, many failures, you will succeed.

Make sure that the projects are relatively simple. Think calculators, drawing smiley faces, etc. Increase the challenge of each project, but DO NOT try to build the next Google (at least for a year or two).

This is not anywhere near anonymous. All transactions go through "InvisiBuy", and you're trusting "InvisiBuy" to not keep records or even willingly give information to the Government. BitCoin may have it's flaws, but it's better than this.

It mentioned that you could disable recording for a period of time. What if you set the LEDs to disable recording for several days or even weeks.

Not sure if it's the current version, but it's from August of last year so it's pretty recent.

HN is also open source:

Sadly true.

That is not an argument, that is a propaganda tool used against the easily-persuaded.

Clang has been able to build Linux since October of last year.

I2P's Syndie (http://syndie.i2p2.de/) seems like exactly what you're looking for.

While I think that it is important for consumers to realize that there are privacy features, and how to use them, I really don't think that this is an area in need of governmental regulation. The major social networking sites have privacy options, and if people are worried enough about their privacy, they are fully welcome to enable them.

It's simple. It works. It's free.

> U.S. law requires that Diversity Immigrant visas be made available through a strictly random process. A computer programming error resulted in a selection that was not truly random.

Computer generated numbers are never truly random. At what point is it "random enough"?

The idea that we are even considering an internet censorship bill in the United States is appalling; and for IP protection of all issues.

Also, how long will it be after it is enforced that the affected sites start moving to underground networks like I2P?

Keep refreshing it, it works about half the time. I would guess that the new files haven't been distributed to all of their servers yet.

Not really. You could always write a browser app for iOS or Android that uses Firefox or Chrome's user agent to have servers return the full desktop version.

iPad?

2011/05/05's Chrome Canary Build acted strangely. After I tried to view the demo, all areas for WebGL or any kind of plugin were able to be clicked-through (essentially holes in the application). It's fixed in 2011/05/07's (13.0.757.0) though.

> A mistake would not have gotten rewritten for iOS 4 when the database got converted from XML to SQLite and moved to user data.

If they are using CoreData as the storage engine, it is possible they changed backends without ever looking at what was stored in it.

In my own (very imprecise) testing, Chrome seemed to freeze around 215k characters.

I found that my web server started throwing 413s after only about ~30k characters.

Wire a toggle switch to cut the connection between the baseband and the antenna, and it shouldn't be able to transmit more than a few inches.

Even though not all of us like Microsoft, you still shouldn't do this. The best way to handle this is to send random data at 10b/s and slow down the bots.

Also, why should a web server have R+W access to a directory it's serving? It should be RO, or at worst, R+X. (Excluding an uploads directory)

They already killed them. They removed them from the latest beta.

And in 4 years, you will see this title instead:

Mobile phone theft rose 1200% in 2014, is the password the way of the future?

This is a scare tactic. They know that "Anonymous" is really a bunch of basement dwelling geeks between the ages of 14 and 24 and are actually too scared to do anything once their companions start getting arrested.

Email is "electronic mail", why should the fact that it is transmitted over fibre-optic cables instead of by truck change the legal protections given?

Many more than you would think: http://groups.drupal.org/government-sites

Actually C# (the language) is libre, it's an EMCA standard. The default implementation and IDE(the MS runtime & VS) is not libre, it's gratis, but Mono is fully free software (libre) and nearly fully compatible (both source and bytecode) with the MS runtime and will run on Windows, OS X and Linux.

MIT, however sometimes I'll release under the GPL if I feel I could make a profit off of it in the future by selling commercial licenses.
