"You accessed the very heart of the system of an international business of massive size, so this was not just fiddling about in the business records of some tiny business of no great importance," he said.
How small does a company have to be, where it's ok for someone to "fiddle about" in their business records?

I made https://jobpoacher.com/ so you can send all of the shitty recruiters (and good ones) to an anonymous email address.

It has a lot more upvotes than other posts above it, per hour, and it dropped something like 15 spots instantly.

I think it's just part of our society's bias in favor of motor vehicles, to assume that any damage with a vehicle involved is an "accident".
I have been on a bicycle when someone deliberately tried to run me off the road for "fun".
The only criminal case ever in the whole state of Texas, where it was actually assumed that a driver deliberately tried to run a bicyclist off the road, and it was no "accident", was when some guy happened to do it to Lance Armstrong. In every other case, it was legally assumed to be an accident.
Re:Diaspora re-writes its front to Backbone: why and what it means

I actually did a google search for https://www.google.com/search?q=backbone+web
Which gave me the first hit of www.backbonemedia.com/
In fact, backbone.js is no where on the first page for that search.
That's amazing it comes up first for "backbone". I did actually find that link eventually, and try out the "example" todo list, but that gave me no information about how this would fix a garbage collection problem. Does anyone know how it fixed their GC problem?

Sorry, I don't know what "Backbone" is. I see links to New Relic and Pivotal Labs, but no links to anything called "Backbone".
I guess this blog post was maybe not meant for purely technical people, but it would be nice to understand what "Backbone" is, and exactly why it would solve their problems.

Mess up "The Internet"? I don't think so. If you don't like Google, switch to Altavista.
