doubt_me··on Ask HN: My laptop has a bios level keylogger my security is at threat help
Tech here:

What did you scan your bios with?

How did you format your laptop?

What system are you running? Windows 8 or 7?

How did you activate your windows OS?

What is the exact model number of your laptop?

answer as much as possible so I can help

doubt_me··on Ask HN: What will the future look like?
Hopefully a replacement for the united nations will come forth and abolish the super powers control over everything.

Second prediction: Hacking will become such a huge problem that fighting it will force everyone into a locked down internet with computers you can't fix or open up without breaking and new standards will be written to replace innovation with an illusion of innovation. Apple Mac Pros are just the start

Third prediction: New STDs?

doubt_me··on Ask HN: How to Get Registered Users to Actually Use My Webapp
Its not bad. And very specific

The specificity of your app makes it that much easier to "reach out" to your demographic.

You need to be on the social networks as much as possible.

for example http://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks

Also go to those cos play conventions and advertise on the floor. Get a stall

Maybe you already thought of all this but the biggest thing to remember is that it will take time because of how specific your app is.

If you want more and more people to use the app start selling action figures/ toys/ other comic book relevant stuff

I don't know anything about that stuff good luck

doubt_me··on Bad Government Software
Is the government not willing to change the way they operate on technology? Why does everything the government do get contracted out? Is there a possibility of the tech for all government systems be supplied in house and operated as such?

Who is in charge of technology contracts and why are they still around?

When does this sort of bullshit stop? MILLIONS are being wasted on something that hasn't lasted a few weeks

ARE THEY SERIOUSLY EXPECTING THESE SYSTEMS TO LAST YEARS?

doubt_me··on Ask HN: Do you bookmark or collect content?
I have over 2000 bookmarks. Simply organized by folder on my chrome browser.

There are a few solid good bookmarking apps but they all for the most part lack the option to import bookmarks/ also don't really have clean usable UX. The ones I am talking about are mostly for making bookmarks a social thing like pinterest

some of them are part of my Freeware Index project

https://github.com/Doubtme/FreeWare_Index

The rest are for my website index which has 17 main categories and 40+ sub categories spread out. I haven't made the website index public yet but I intend to once I organize it. I will probably end up deleting a few hundred links once I get to it

doubt_me··on Show HN: LaunchWay - let's build a community-powered online startup incubator
Feedback:

when editing or creating a post why is it just a plain text box and not a full one with options to link text/ use BB code and all that good stuff.

The site is very easy to navigate and all that/ no bugs. looks hacker news - ish

Oh another thing.

When someone comments on a post that you make there should be a sort of notification system in place

and then let people be able to do @doubt_me thanks for the reply. etc etc....

doubt_me··on Ask HN: What are the 10-12 most important conferences each year?

doubt_me··on US Says Iran Hacked Navy Computers
From the WSJ article

"The Pentagon wouldn't confirm the alleged Iranian hacks. A department spokesman said its networks are attacked daily."

"Once the intruders got into the Navy computer system, they were able to exploit security weaknesses to penetrate more deeply into the unclassified network, the officials said"

I have a weird feeling Iran didn't do a damn thing that concluded to hacking "unclassified navy networks"

If the pentagon didn't say so then how is WSJ saying so?

doubt_me··on Dianne Feinstein Accidentally Confirms That NSA Tapped The Internet Backbone
The big Telcos would get reprimanded if they said a damn thing about anything. Forget about the whistle blowers and read this for a second.
