Actually there are quite a few good lifestyles available if you charge for licenses of your software and you are a small software shop.

Simple: intersperse ads with results and make it obvious which are the ads.

This sounds like IRC to me.

Good point. Post on your progress, I'm interested :-)

Did you consider using affiliate links as well?
sohail | 18 years ago | on: Feedback on our startup: a personal shopping service
I like the idea. More details about how you make money would make for better feedback.

This UI is horrible. But they get the simple things right.

You're doing it wrong.

QA departments are notorious for not being very creative. You'd need a star QA department to find the /admin hole, I think.

What the hell is Tumblr? And what happened to vowels?

Uh, this is a scam right?
sohail | 18 years ago | on: Hash collisions. Two different docs and same MD5 hash value
Just RTFA'd. Their attack is much more involved than I describe. However, it should be trivial to do the same thing for an OpenOffice document or Word document. Maybe I will try it...
sohail | 18 years ago | on: Hash collisions. Two different docs and same MD5 hash value
I am not a PS guru. All of that is gibberish to me. I think this is what is going on:
1) There is a single source file foo.ps 2) Since PS is interpreted, there is a statement like: if(filename=="recommendation.ps") { show_recommendation(); } else { show_give_security_clearance(); }
This attack will work on no matter what hash you use because it uses social engineering (i.e., laziness - no one looks inside their PS files)
I think so anyway...

Yes, it is a famous misquote. "God" to Einstein was the universe.

FINALLY! Now can someone please rewrite GCC? That is the ugliest piece of code I've ever seen.
