You just ruined my hopes of making an annual salary in an evening.

> The work required to build reliable exploits against hardened Windows can take months.


$150 for mitigation bypass and a defensive solution? That's one way to make an annual salary.


Yeah, but people who can deliver this already make that much at a day job.

It's appears to be a lot better than their blue-hat prize, which was crowd-sourced spec work and they kept rights to all of the submissions, despite not paying for any beyond the top two or three.


Indeed, there is progress for whoever finds these vulnerabilities. And I'm sure they wouldn't mind doubling their salary.


$150k


Thanks for quantifying it, that will be useful.


Open-sourcing it would be a good idea, as other developers could potentially fix it for you.


Congrats, that's amazing!


That makes sense. Thank you.


+1 on stock Android 4.2 looking great and being very usable. +1 on iOS7 and stock Android 4.2 looking way too similar.


It would be perfect if I could add one-time expense/income.


Patches welcome!

More seriously if you could explain how you'd like to see it done I'd be happy to try adding it.


It'd work best if I fork it and and it myself. Less work for you, more customization for me. :)


Well I'll keep an eye out, and if I see your changes I'll try to fold them in - unless they look too you-specific :)


Thanks for all the suggestions. To be more specific, my situation is that I'll be making $x this summer, in addition to making $y/month and spending $z/month. I need to visualize these data to determine whether I can afford to make that $x/k expense (i.e: expense that represents a part of x that is less than x) and still have a margin m, where m is defined as financial "safety". Sorry if it's confusing, but I hope it makes sense.

As smartician suggested, Mint is great to get an overview of one's finance, but it doesn't let me visualize the above amounts.

As ragatskynet suggested, spreadsheets are the most obvious choice, and the fact that I can "complicate them to the level [I] want" should allow me to plot the above amounts as I need, but I was trying to find a more elegant way to do this than using excel.

I will be looking into the other suggestions. stevekemp's seems to be just what I need.


Can you code in HTML/CSS/JavaScript? Or do you only design mockups?


Visual design mostly.


Learning front-end coding can not only increase your chances of getting hired, but it can also broaden your perspective of web design.


Thanks! Yeah - I'm looking into it a lot more now.
