Pornographic adverts using google adwords on digg.com

I was surfing on digg.com when I cam across this gem of an advert. Its for some pornographic/adult content but seeing something like this on the google adwords network certainly came across as a surprise.

Its the first time I came across something like this, I always thought that google would have some filters to stop content like this from getting through. I am really not sure if google has started allowing links for adult content on sites like digg. But someone would have some explaining to do at least in this matter.

The best mobile development platform for hobbyist programmer

This is something I have been thinking for a while so here it goes. This is a list of platforms I know of and my choice of what makes sense for a hobbyist programmer like me. Let me first list down all the possible platforms and then list down the pros and cons that I feel are associated with each platform. Java ME (The platform formally known as J2ME) Windows Mobile Linux Palm Brew Symbian Blackberry iPhone iPhone Let me start with iPhone the darling of the media and blogger's till about a fortnight. I had real expectations from iPhone as a platform but the way its been going so far I would never bother developing for it. Officially there is no SDK with which one can build applications. What ever tools the community had built have been rendered useless with the iPhone 1.1.1 software upgrade . The community might be able to hack a version for 1.1.1 but without any support from almighty apple its just a cat and mouse game. With every minor release the applications

Is this finally the year of Linux on the desktop?

If I have a new system the only things I install are a browser, IM clients and some development environment. But the thing that has really changed now is that I can do the same thing on Linux without thinking too much. I can install Chrome/Firefox, the IM's are pre-installed and most of the development environments are available on Linux. You could do that earlier as well but now the main thing that has changed is that there are new tools that are only available on Linux or Mac. The main softwares coming to mind are GIT and node.js . They are available on Windows but often seem crippled. If you really want to use them you will move to Linux or Mac. That is where things have really shifted. There are half a dozen twitter clients for Mac and quite a few for Linux but have a look around the only twitter clients you will find on Windows are Adobe Air based clients. No one seems to be writing native or .net based clients. To be fair there are some obscure .net based clients which no

Using CONNECT method on a http proxy using telnet

The simplest way to connect to an external server using a proxyserver. C:\Work>telnet proxyserver 8080 Trying 192.168.1.20... Connected to proxyserver. Escape character is '^]'. CONNECT irc.freenode.org:6667 HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established :kornbluth.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Looking up your hostname... :kornbluth.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Checking Ident :kornbluth.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Found your hostname :kornbluth.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** No Ident response In this case we are connecting to a proxyserver on port 8080. After that we open a http tunnel to irc.freenode.org on port 6667. Then you need to press enter twice to establish the connection. After that you have an open socket and you can send the commands accordingly based on the protocol being used. Here we connect to an IRC server. We could do the same thing by connecting to a HTTP server. You can apply the logic by opening a socket to the proxy server and then sending and receiving
