Somebody should put up a second, uninteresting, benign bust just to see what happens to it vs Snowden's.



It's a bit disappointing that G10code[1] https identity verification fails. May be it makes sense given that he's short on $$$$.

[1] https://g10code.com/


it's just self-signed.

All that means is that you are transferring trust to the owner of the site, rather than a CA, to properly deal with his own secure key, and that browsers hate it; but who cares about that part.

I trust the GnuPG set of tools, and I have so for quite sometime. On the opposite side of things I have witnessed a ton of CA hacks in recent years...


Can you please link to the remote execution bug?



I'm getting sick of the general attitude here. A majority of people seem to think that it's OK to copy user posting data from CL, because they are a monopoly. IE is cited as an example of a monopoly, thus anything is OK to take it down.

That attitude is horribly wrong. Agreed, CL is a monopoly. Agreed, they are holding back innovation. But, you don't disrupt a business (and build yours) by copying their data, especially illegally. Although, the legality of issue at hand is up in the air right now, the general attitude is a bit appalling.

What's required is a way for users to post their listings simultaneously at other properties. The content of the postings belongs to the user and they should be free to re-post it anywhere.


The ToS may not mention exclusivity, but the source of data (for Padmapper) is Craigslist. Thus, the clause of "unauthorized copying" applies.


Sure, will do that.


The look and feel of the ad is publisher's responsibility. Can't blame Google for that. Rest, Google gets the blame. Before I get down to that, however, I would be suspicious of the veracity of a publisher who tries to blend the ad and the content so closely.


If it weren't for vim, I would have definitely considered switching. I know you can map keys and all, but, it just doesn't make sense going through all the hassle.

Are there any bi-layouters out there?


Qwerty and Colemak. I sometimes use Qwerty when I am chatting while gaming or when on someone else's computer - though about 2/3 as fast.

I find that I don't have to actively think about what layout I am typing in, it just flows. I imagine bilinguists have a similar experience.

I chose Colemak primarily because it doesn't mess with common shortcuts (Bottom-left keys "qwarzxcvbm" remain the the same positions).


Pretty much exactly the same for me.

I still can't use Colemak on iOS devices, so regular QWERTY encounters still happen, but I didn't lose much of my QWERTY speed after I switched, something I feared might happen.

Before Colemak I tried Dvorak for about a month, but uncomfortable locations of common shortcuts seemed bit unfriendly - great for typing, not as great for computer use.


This doesn't help much if you are using Google APIs in your Android application. There are no x86 builds available for Google APIs AFAIK.
