tbodt··on Show HN: Tasty-cookie – A different way of authenticating
So this puts in every form a hidden field with the cookie instead of actually sending the cookie to the browser?

tbodt··on Reverse engineering of competitor’s software cost company big
In the EU, reverse engineering is allowed, but only for the purpose of making something that interoperates with the product you're reverse engineering, and does not compete with that product.
tbodt··on Show HN: iOS music player, like a virtual record collection
IMHO it's not 100% intuitive that you press the settings button to search. Maybe a separate search button in the top left?

"The license granted hereunder" refers to the patent license, not the copyright license.
