If Bing is really copying what about those who fought Bing vs Google war as if it were Vi vs Emacs war?

tmachinecharmer··on The code injected to steal passwords in Tunisia
It is very easy to get someones password if they have checked "remember me" and gone out for a coffee.

By very easy I mean it requires almost no talent.

Long time back (even)I wrote a script to grab password and username using DOM and JavaScript.

tmachinecharmer··on Ask HN: Programmers Without Relevant Degree
If you don't have a degree but do have the required coding skills you will get that job.

I have till date met 1000 programmers who have degrees from reputed institutes but don't know shit about coding.

@philbarr's method is actually very cool.

In the beginning you can work for start-ups and then switch.

Also: Take a look at this post Why can't programmers program?? by Jeff Atwood http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/02/why-cant-programmer...
