It doesn't have enough momentum to fully go up the last 'slope' so it rolls back down with the momentum to get back to the starting position... I believe that's what i gathered from the end of the page.
Depends upon source of document; mostly now a days i can throw a document in google drive or a web editor and see it. PDF to HTML works good too; Movies are all from trusted sources streamed via Linux Server... So if its untrusted the clip would most likely loop with a blurred out screen saying i need a codec pack.

I don't do much locally other than write code. I use Web IDE's, Web Editors, Online Markup, Stream via HTML5... Not much to download now-a-days.

Nope. Haven't used A/V in 3 years now. On OSX, Windows or linux. When you're more tech friendly you know to sandboxie things that seem suspicious or test in a vm.
I think the issue is... Windows is the biggest problem because most of the 'malware' kids come from hacking communities... Most communities use VB.net, C# when i coded in both of these languages things seemed easy; and there is really only FUD packagers on Windows; to make the executable undetectable. It's easy to code a RAT program or anything in vb.net or c#
Thanks :) Appreciate the points; i will reach out once i fix some bugs :)

Ask HN: Go beyond the programming aspects of my app Securing/Funding?

The other day i had a great idea, its no where to be found on the markets iOS or Android. So the other day i built it as a weekend hack i think that this app has great potential... I am young but wondering what the best way togo about raising money while preventing others from stealing the idea. Are trademarkets/copyright/patents needed to secure the idea? Any advice beyond programming the app...

Need more information. Pricing Information? Uptime page? Forum?

Also why co.uk?

Would buy if more information was listed.

Also whom is the VPS's Backbone?

I don't think self promotion is allowed in threads like these...
TOR can be compromised easily however... Edit) So they say...
Can we see some type of analytic; something that shows these stories are actually getting more than 5,000 views?
But wait... Didn't Facebook Inc; Buy whats app for 19 billion? So does this mean Whisper Systems is working with 'facebook' on this...? Maybe i'm wrong...

Maybe package this into a chrome app for offline use? Awesome little took-kit you've got here.
Imagine if this had like some type of MP3/Youtube support; that'd be awesome.

Yeah i've looked into erie and there wasn't much unless i had 3-5 yrs experience. I've actually been turning my depression into a way to help others; i do not want to take medication i was on it for some time but after awhile things wear off and the dosage goes higher... My step-dad (ex) is a doctor whom helps me out. Awesome you guys are hiring would love to maybe apply sometime in life. Thank you so much :)

Hey Saluki! Thank you. I'm focused on Laravel right now; i do have some AngularJS experience but it was for a project and it wouldn't correctly work for me on some aspects so i dropped it and went with a Laravel setup which worked much easier than the JS experience. I appreciate the advice it means a lot. I'll surely start listening to that website you mentioned; I'll start learning Ruby as you've mentioned it. :-)

Thank you again!
