Pwntastic··on Confessions of a Git Skeptic
I'm pretty sure the newest revisions of svn no longer use .svn directories
Pwntastic··on Most developers don’t really know any computer language
Yeah, it's 404'd now, but Google still has it cached: http://bit.ly/QN6XTt

edit: Actually it looks like the entire article is still visible right on the blog landing page: http://shape-of-code.coding-guidelines.com/

edit: ah, beaten to it. oh well

> I also consider the lack of LTE to be a feature.

As a Verizon user who lives in a heavily LTE-saturated area, I have to disagree and am actually quite sad that this phone won't be compatible.

If it was LTE-capable, I would buy it in a heartbeat but now it looks like I'll be waiting for the next-gen and hoping that one supports it.

Pwntastic··on Fog Creek is about to go down
I know that Arizona is a huge place for DCs just because there aren't any natural disasters there.

There are a few of them out here in Utah that I know of, but none at the scale that they really could be. It would make a lot of sense to put some out here, I would think

Pwntastic··on Carphone Warehouse leaks LG's Google Nexus 4 phone
Yeah that's the same render that's been circulating for a day or two now
Pwntastic··on Trekking the Grand Canyon for Google Maps
Didn't Microsoft have some tech demo / event a few years back where they had integrated a live video feed of a street marketplace into bing maps?

I wonder what ever came of that. It would be a really cool feature to have on a/b/g maps

Pwntastic··on As Surface Goes On Sale Today, Microsoft Seeks to Reinvent The Tablet
I would think most people here on HN would wait a little bit to preorder the WIN8 tablets instead of the RT ones.

I'm not really sure why you'd go with an RT tablet unless the price was your only limiting factor

Pwntastic··on Prison Architect - Alpha Launch
Yep. I have a bit of a soft spot for Introversion
Pwntastic··on Stripe moves to JSONP; adds CORS support
If I remember correctly, most of the URL including the parameters are encrypted when you use SSL. I think the only part that isn't is the hostname
Pwntastic··on Coding Horror: I Was a Teenage Hacker
Haha I did pretty much the same thing back in school.

We also randomly had permissions to terminate running programs on other computers over the network for a year or two. That was fun times until the lab teachers learned to start looking for people with black console windows open. But then I just learned to change the console colors to black text on white to throw them off.

Pwntastic··on How everyone benefits from Verizon’s FCC-mandated free tethering
Well Verizon will also charge you regardless of whether or not you actually use all of your allotted data. The difference here is that they'd also like to charge you a second time to let you use your allotted data in different ways.
Pwntastic··on Google Wallet moves to the cloud, opens up to all credit and debit cards
I had to manually go to the google wallet page on the play store and click install before it actually updated on my phone.

I already had it installed on my phone but it wasn't detecting an update in the play store until I force re-installed it

Pwntastic··on One Thing Outlook.com Mail Needs To Fix Immediately
Yeah I don't have that option anywhere. I've seen other sites say that there should also be an option to upgrade but I don't see that either.

Maybe they're rolling it out in phases?

Oh well, it's not like I ever used hotmail to begin with

Pwntastic··on One Thing Outlook.com Mail Needs To Fix Immediately
You can sign up for a new one on the outlook.com site but I have no idea how to migrate an existing hotmail.com address to outlook.com.

I can't even get to the new outlook.com with my hotmail.com address; it was only after creating a brand new outlook.com address that I was able to see what all the fuss was about

Pwntastic··on Rahul Tyagi: Jericho Emails
Are they seriously using one of the official Battlefield 3 wallpapers as their background?
Pwntastic··on Introducing the Humble Music Bundle
I was primed to buy the bundle when I saw it was available, but I really don't like any of the options so it's probably the first bundle I won't snag.
Pwntastic··on CSS3 meets AMC's Breaking Bad
Seems fine for me in Chrome 22 on Win7.
Pwntastic··on Pull request to remove sexist remark from CodeIgniter generates controversy.

Pwntastic··on Sell your TV: you're better off without it.
This feels more like an argument against cable/satellite television and not necessarily an argument against having a television.

I think he went a bit overboard. I don't have cable but I still have a TV that I watch a few downloaded shows on.

There's quite a difference
