"Hello, I'm sure this is all a big misunderstanding, but did you happen to root my computer?"
Not trying to be sarcastic, but I'm really curious what such an email could possibly achieve. If they tell you they haven't done anything, they're either lying or not - you wouldn't know. And really, what are the chances they would tell you that they have rooted your PC if they had?

It's actually not all that uncommon for well-written rootkits to do just that.

I'm honestly curious about this since, even as a student, I'm living on more than that per day. Could you tell me more?

Ask HN: Alternatives to software startups?
Hi HN,Lately I've been wondering about something: you hear a lot about web and software startups, and a few things about hardware startups now and then, but virtually nothing about other types of startups. Of course, there are good reasons the aforementioned types are so popular (lack of enormous cash requirements comes to mind), but have you ever thought of 'alternative' startups? Startups in...
Ask HN: What would you like to see in a new online marketplace?
Greetings,We (me and a co-founder) are working on an online market service. Basically, we think eBay is terrible and are committed to building something better. UI issues aside (which is not to say that those aren't important), we're mostly concerned with building something that makes people more comfortable with using such a platform for pretty much anything they can buy/sell. It's a big...

At the risk of incurring massive downvotes: if anyone happens to have a key for the game laying around, I would be very interested in getting one. I'm sitting on the edge of my chair, waiting for this game to go public. :D
