Very nice! there's a certain amount of elegance in the shapes, really beautiful!

Wouldn't say relaxing, but a good time-killer.

It just can't, email is like a part of one self. It may go in the more secure direction with some privacy under the hood, like HTTPS is for HTTP.
Re:Can the world please standardize passwords? on Wednesday March 25, 2015 @06:31PM (#9266455)
NO, no no no, and No!

It's not a standard that can fix this problem, it's education, both between end users and developers.

One could devise a system that allows any password as long as the entropy threshold is satisfied.

The only limitation to passwords should be a minimum level of entropy (or at least length, to keep things simple) furthered by taking into account character sets, lists, etc...

Some people prefer only digits, other like sentences, while some are used to the systems currently in place at the moment with multiple custom rules.

Food for thought.

Loops - they just hog every cycle from your CPU (and the lack of sleeping for that matter)

And to answer your question: I love it, it's like a virus: everywhere.

And then you would of course use a toolbox (or make one) that supports large dates, or even work with other time units (ie. D)

Re:Show HN: A stupid hack to crash tab and/or browser on Wednesday March 11, 2015 @01:46PM (#9185416)
Chrome on Linux doesn't care either, but cpus at 60-99%
#register/paywall# no thank you!

Found full story here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2ym9zd/blythe_maste...

Important thing to note (and most devs forget this):

One does not simply browse only one page at a time anymore

update: Linux, Chrome

Maybe the animated ones should be left as images so far, otherwise great work with the static icons ++

Tested your page on an i3, all 4 cores are at 60%+ that's not very good... probably affects only the animated ones still

Bad title, not a watch for the wrist but would be fun to be miniaturized in a forked version ./
