aapjeon Adblock via /etc/hosts

Wouldn't it be more efficient to add blocking on router level? Making all of your devices (at home) ad-free.

Anyone exprerienced doing this?

aapjeon Why do people waste so much time at work?

We all know the answer is HN.

aapjeon Dutch ISP's no longer have to save Web, Mail and Voice data (Dutch)

aapjeon [dead]

Needed to point this out because it relates to this topic. Every article I read about male/female worker ratio or ethnicity diversity ignores to dive into the aspect of working skills. Why should a company be enforced by law (more countries are starting to do this) to hire someone less qualified, only to please politicians?

If you are interested in more images or detail, the village is called 'Hogeweyk'(meaning: higher area/borough), not Hogewey or Hogeway as the article states.

But I've seen way too many Twitter hacking going on when I look at friends' timelines. If tweets like 'How I lost 100 lbs in 3 months! Click > bit.ly/youwillbehacked' can be posted without too much effort, these same hackers could buy stuff for free by just hacking into your Twitter account.

aapjeon Do We Live in the Matrix?

Our Tamagotchi and Minecraft Avatars are asking the same thing. The Wreck it Ralph crew already know the answer.

aapjeon Do not sign up for Rippln, it's a piramid scheme (and not the next big thing).

Check out the Yahoo link I posted. Sums it all up.

aapjeon Do not sign up for Rippln, it's a piramid scheme (and not the next big thing).

I've been getting invites from friends to sign up at http://www.startmyripple.com/

I couldn't find info on the company or it's team. After some more research I found a post on Yahoo about it. I think this guy did a pretty good job explaining the possible dangers when you sign up:
