Thank you for answering my question.

I don't understand this.

Oh the irony of hosting it on something other than SRC. SMH
Re:OS X Bash Update 1.0 on Monday September 29, 2014 @07:12PM (#8385876)
Also reproduced on 10.9.5 -- you would think that there's sometone at Apple looking at this forum and at hannob's bashcheck and that it would get tested. I guess there will be a 1.1 version of the update soon?

The Americans should probably fear bugged Russian processors too, right?

Yea, this is exactly what I said in another thread.

Maybe he's trying to get you to bite on the database so that he can extort some money out of this.
Re:CNET hacked, site source code leaked on Friday July 11, 2014 @09:12PM (#8023358)
Did some investigation:

* The tar file (cnet.com.tar) is 489MB.

* Unpacked it's 536MB

* No database

* Around 30,000 files

* READ.ME has a promise of a copy of the database if you send this person 1BTC (not publishing their name here)

* Based on directory structure, looks like this is a release from 06/12 of this year

* Looks like the site is based on Symphony?

And a competitor to you would be Follow Up Then which does what you do, I think. (http://fut.io/) I've used it for a very long time, but just switched to the snooze button in Streak. It's slick.
Re:But why can't I send people their passwords? on Wednesday June 25, 2014 @10:03AM (#7943903)
Thanks for doing this, it is greatly appreciated. The list of offenders with screenshots is nice, but what would be really useful is a table that is sortable and filterable so that people (i.e. me) can find out if any of our vendors are offenders. Also, a JSON API would be slick too. Just ideas.
Re:Show HN: GitHub-based DNS Hosting on Sunday June 22, 2014 @04:16PM (#7929045)
Why not just slap Varnish in front of that and be done?

Ask HN: best approach to writing a Windows service?

I need to write a native app that runs on recent flavors of Windows which can talk to a hosted API service and make changes to the local PC. It's a very simple set of tasks that need to be completed, but I'm at a loss for where to start. The last time I compiled something for Windows was using Visual Basic 6 and Windows XP -- things have changed since then. Any pointers are welcome!

I really don't think you need to use NAPTR here. Using TXT works just fine, if you do a sort, if you prepend line numbers to the records. Alas, you still have to do a sort. It would be wonderful if there was a hack that involved not using the sort. Here's one I just added: dig txt art.ten7.com |sort

Thank god that someone else feels the same. It's absolutely the worst thing I have seen in modern history.

Yep. Mind blown.
Re:Ask HN: Do you provide meals for your employees? on Saturday November 16, 2013 @06:31PM (#6746833)
I own a small Drupal development shop in Minneapolis. I have 7 employees, and we recently started being more Agile than we used to be, which means we have a scrum at 9:30am every day. In the past, people came in whenever they felt like it. Now that people are in earlier, my wife actually had the great idea to have a breakfast bar available to everyone. So, we got a bar fridge in addition to the office fridge we already have, dried fruit, organic granola, yoghurt, fresh fruit, bran, flax, jam, and more and we keep it stocked. Everyone is welcome to have any amount from the breakfast nook in the mornings as they want, and we've been figuring out what people like and adjusting the contents. I think it's working out well -- people don't have to worry about eating before getting into the office, they can just do that when they get in, usually it's after the scrum.

Here's our breakfast nook: http://instagram.com/p/fqkYtYhnqe/

Re:Never Trust Facebook on Monday July 01, 2013 @05:54PM (#5973839)
You're probably right.

Then what about replacing it with junk? THen doing it again? Then again? Then again?

Re:Never Trust Facebook on Monday July 01, 2013 @03:53PM (#5973161)
Perhaps the way to delete the information in the account is to replace the status posts, comments, photos with junk. Words and sentences that don't mean anything; photos that are noise. Perhaps there's a way to do that in an automated fashion. I'd use that.
That's exactly what I thought. Complete and utter waste of time. Plus, the designer is charging the client to "convert" it as an additional fee. Just crazy.
You cut images and layout from InDesign? What do you mean by Covers?
