on: OneLogin suffers breach–customer data said to be exposed, decrypted
Another tangent: I see OneLogin, on their main site, lists the customers using their solution. I know this is a very common practice, but can anyone explain any (not short-sightedly financial) benefit possible for a company allowing this disclosure?

Being very much an obsessive over-analyzer, this data sounds terrific to me...

on: Oracle to buy Sun
Definitely not as big as MySQL/Oracle, but one that I'm wondering most about is their open-source app server Glassfish. A big part of Oracle's BEA acquisition was bolstering their middleware suite (with WebLogic, et al.). Will Glassfish development continue? I hope so...

I'm all for good, original ideas, but I have to send a big 'who cares?' to this one...

on: Eat less, remember more
I seem to remember reading a study (cannot find it at the moment) hypothesizing a lower food intake triggers an evolutionary response. Basically: hungry->must find food->more alert

on: Ask HN: Why do non-techies simply not "get" the idea of a wiki?
I'd also add that if a new user sees inaccurate/out-of-date information they are very unlikely to ever trust the reliability of the wiki again. Something we're trying is asking those sympathetic to our wiki cause spot-check the wiki periodically to catch and fix glaring mistakes.
(I know, I know the idea of a wiki is a collaborative one, but you must take baby steps, especially in a large organization.)

on: Stop Me If You've Seen This Word Before
I ran into a similar problem teaching myself perl a couple years ago by doing a short tutorial then foolishly jumping into a co-worker's code. "What the hell is '$.'? Hmm, well I'm sure Google can help me. What? No matching documents?!? What is this crazy s.o.b. doing here??"

on: Twitter is Growing Like Crazy: Up 422% in 12 Months
I hadn't used my twitter account in months and just this morning got notification that lucille166 was following me. Is lucille166 just another of my enamored female fans, you ask. Nope, a porn bot. I wonder how much of the increase can be attributed to the influx of spam/porn bots to this previously (I'm assuming) pristine online landscape.

on: Ubuntu 8.04 is out
Good to hear! The one issue I had with 7.10, requiring some xorg tweaks, was getting that same monitor setup working correctly. Here's to a smooth setup when I get home tonight :).
