Yeah, but this is nothing new. I run several sites whose (non-public) links are regularly scanned by Facebook after someone types them in a chat. Presumably they're doing this to scan and flag malicious websites/pages.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, but couldn't you just update it to look for the new title string?

Yes, if you can't distinguish between hardware and software you shouldn't be buying a computer from anyone.

tl;dr Nothing new, Microsoft just increased the Dreamspark program's visibility by making it part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack.

Another reason to not buy Apple and get a proper PC laptop/desktop.

On the other hand, he'd be a great fit for a security/pentesting company.

AES in ECB mode? Oh for fuck's sake. I'm not a crypto nerd by any stretch of the imagination and even I know ECB is bad.

Another symptom of the United States' inability to compete in STEM.

Peter Thiel isn't exactly known for his good judgment. Just look at one of his Thiel fellows: http://blog.kevinzhang.me/posts/tracking-down-the-person-who...

I've yet to see a x86 motherboard that isn't Linux-compatible out of the box.

In other news, China, North Korea, and Syria jointly announce their intent to acquire Movements.

For Python there's also PyExcelerate for creating XLSX files: https://github.com/kz26/PyExcelerate

Supposedly it's the fastest, even beating out xlsxwriter.

Am I the only one around here who prefers starting from scratch in a blank vim session?

Illegal activities such as impersonation and fraud? http://bluehat.us/posts/tracking-down-the-person-who-tried-t...

The Thiel Fellows program is a joke. Apparently, they've been accepting lowlife, criminal script kiddies in recent years. http://bluehat.us/posts/tracking-down-the-person-who-tried-t...

I prefer the good old MAC address spoofing trick. It's free!

Beats is a perfect addition to Apple's portfolio: a product that caters to the uninitiated and non-tech-savvy, is overpriced, and sucks compared to true audiophile/professional-grade headphones made by other manufacturers.

The author mentions "Type XII" U-boats several times...this should actually be Type VII.

Sounds like someone forgot to use Tor.

public void onReceivedSslError(WebView paramWebView, SslErrorHandler paramSslErrorHandler, SslError paramSslError) { paramSslErrorHandler.proceed(); } }

Wow, good job PayPal.

If the human body is anything like the first generation of ACPI this is not going to end well for the patients :P

How would this work for apps that are multi-user, like email, social networking, or marketplaces? The Sandstorm data model doesn't really work when you're dealing with the data of many users besides yourself.

AHHHHH MY BRAIN IS FULL OF FOUR DIMENSIONAL CLUSTERFUCK

Since the faker's requests don't have a User-Agent, you could block all requests lacking a valid User-Agent HTTP header.

You're absolutely right. I've being setting up too many nginx instances lately and the term stuck in my head...

I'm on a campus network that reverse proxies all HTTP traffic. The service shows my internal 10.x.x.x IP. Just a heads-up that you might want to fix your handling of X-Forwarded-For headers.

This. It sounds like he folded as soon as he was interviewed by law enforcement. Don't underestimate the power of the $5 wrench. http://xkcd.com/538/

Hi yes this is Indian

Running 'cat' too many times.
