Phishing Site in Email
via ha.ckers.org web application security lab by RSnake on May 15, 2008
I was looking at a phishing email last night for OANDA FXTrade. At first glance I could see something a little different about it. Instead of linking directly to the phishing site in the email, it contained an attachment (an html file) that you are supposed to double click on. The page is a flat HTML page, with nothing of substance on it, other than a form that tries to get you to submit your...

Increase Font Size in Google Reader
via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on May 07, 2008
Google Reader added an option to increase/decrease font size for all the posts: press = to magnify text and - to decrease its size. Unfortunately, Google Reader doesn't save your preference, so the next time you open it you'll see the original font size.While most browsers include a zoom feature (Opera, IE7, Firefox 3) or an option to increase the font size, Google Reader applies the new...

gimpsvn.sh — Install or update to GIMP 2.5 from SVN on Ubuntu 8.04
via fsckin w| linux by Wayne on May 07, 2008
I’ve been wanting to try out GIMP 2.5 for quite some time now, and plenty of other folks are certainly looking forward to the new interface, among other things. In my somewhat limited observations of the GIMP development team, I’ve found that the volunteers who manage the project are what some would call “anal retentive.”Put the shoe on the other food, and I might be totally off the mark...

Number Pad Madness
via Daily Vim by Travis Whitton on May 07, 2008
A friend of mine was trying to use the numpad inside Vim using Putty (Win32 SSH Client). Unfortunately, this wasn't working for him and was just echoing a bunch of alphabetic characters to his term. After looking online for a few minutes, we found a fix.Go into Terminal->Features-> and check in "Disable Application cursor keys mode". Hopefully this helps some Windows users out there.
