People sometimes make mistakes. If those people create and distribute consumer level routers those mistakes can be severe.

Tor is 'Tor' and not 'TOR'.

> In fact, we can usually spot people who haven't read any of our website (and have instead learned everything they know about Tor from news articles) by the fact that they spell it wrong.

Accuracy is important when you're complaining about the failures of other people.

It's pretty old and should have been on Linux a long time ago. Or is this just a flashback memory and inspiration about the availability not being just Win?

All I see (latest Chrome on Vista) is a man page on an Ubuntu website for the oneko software.

Should there be anything else?

That was amazing.

On a side note, and not complaining about this at all, how much did it cost to get that water to the space station? I guess that bag had maybe 300 ml?

Yes.

There is a serious problem with HN when stories like this get so many up-votes. This story is against the site guidelines. There isn't anything deeply interesting in the comments.

Re:What just happened to VC valuations? on Thursday April 18, 2013 @03:56PM (#5572711)
Be careful. Many articles submitted to HN are just fucking awful articles, and we actually want contrarian viewpoints to counter the bollocks pumped out.

Banning Techcrunch, ExtremeTech (such a terrible website full of dreadful garbage), MotherJones and so many other shitty websites would do more to help HN than any karma modifications.

Pesticide is a leading cause of suicide.

Farming is, in some countries, a high risk occupation for suicide.

I agree that the hyperbole of the article is weird.

Why would your users post the addresses of your honeypots and tarpits to a 3rd party website?
