That hacker is claiming to be attacking Facebook and bringing it down using a CSRF attack. Sounds like crap to me, it was probably just a problem with DNS or something.

Very sad to hear. His contributions to the Python community will never be forgotten.

Looks fine here, what's the issue?

What about Bluetooth tethering? Do they check for that too?

Don't use this as a reason to diss PHP. Almost any target, no matter what language, is vulnerable.

I agree. "Displaying data in multiple computer windows" is an absolutely ridiculous patent.

I know you guys can win this, best of luck! :)

Agreed, blaming the users for the company's own problem is disgusting.

I remember that comic by the way, I have it saved from a calendar somewhere. :P

The price is pretty ridiculous too. I would have bought it simply for the novelty if it wasn't $10.

I'm getting a "Request limit exceeded" error in my EC2 panel.

I hope the iOS jailbreak scene can do something with them.

Doesn't this violate Apple's policy? If not, has this happened in the past?

I'm trying to understand this bill better before taking a true stance on it. Is there a possibility that the powers that it grants can be abused?

I agree. This was a damn good way of handling the situation: taking care of it head-on instead of watching from the sidelines and hoping things get better. I didn't think they would do much (except for maybe a blog post about how you shouldn't give your password to anyone or something similar), but this is totally beyond what I expected.

So Facebook is going to fight fire with fire? This is not the way to handle it.

I don't have a choice. It'd be too expensive to switch.

Yep, still on 3G.

I ran a speed test on my (throttled) AT&T 3G connection on my iPhone 4. 5 bars, perfect signal here. 0.03 Mbps down and 0.02 up. It's absolute bullshit.

Their launch day was also a disaster. Their servers were completely unstable, their systems didn't work properly, and there were glitches everywhere.
