Re:JP Morgan files for anonymous online payment system on Wednesday December 11, 2013 @04:46AM (#6886772)
Call me paranoid but sounds like they're trying to stop institutions adopting bitcoins as payment to each other otherwise they'll sue? What's the definition of institution anyway? If it's got customers then isn't it the same as a company/business?
Genuine question: Does this mean Btc is not so decentralized after all? Could they possibly decide one day to release an update to exercise ultimate control/power over btc?
That's alright, it's the first time I'm reading it today too.

(shameless plug) more editing tools coming soon :)

Funnily enough I'm using a color pallete plugin written by @bgrins who is working on the OP project.

Is it possible for a non-finance orientated coder to get into the industry? Or does one need to be a math genius as well as a coder?

The difference is obvious to you and me and western folks. But to the average brown kid on the ground seeing his village get blown to pieces, he aint gonna know and he'll be the one sending the bombs when he's a bigger boy. Why not use the drones and send targeted dinners to his table and he'll be a likely friend to the US in the future.

Funny, that's exactly what the brown people said.

Now you're 1 step closer to figuring out how to build this tool :)

Might be a good idea to stop doing things which cause people to send you bombs.
I'm really not sure about the branding of it. You'd think it was a game or flashcards or something in that region.
Funny, I finally took the plunge too just the other day and I'm not a teen. Deleted everything, my whole account, every post, every photo, every tag, every poke, after I downloaded a copy of my stuff of course. But it was not easy task, oh no! They deliberately make it difficult to delete things! The only way is manually one by one, but its worth it. Finally FB free.

My reasons? Well it got really annoying how it turned into a Womans Magazine! Maybe I'm getting to that age when my friends are getting married and having kids, but I'm really not interested in posts of babies, Miley Cyrus BS, Royal Wedding nonsense etc... The list goes on and I only subscribed to reputable news sources like the Times, Guardian.

Hey Biturd seems like you're using a lot of screenshots in your workflow but what are they for? Product development? I only stumbled upon this as a side project and would like to see how it fits in with people. thx

Thanks! I'll add more tools this weekend and polish it up a bit. How much would one be willing to pay for something like?

My apologies, I've added it to the save button now.

I ran into a security error 18 with Safari after pasting the image from clipboard and running the data through Canvas .getDataURL(). Perhaps Safari devs could make an exception for clipboard images?

Haha, there's no monitoring setup, infact there's no backend at all :)

I was halfway creating a progress bar when I thought the design sucked so I kept it simple, but yes coming weekend a progress bar will be made.

Oops, I tested on Win+Mac. Guess I'll be downloading linux then.

Not everyone can upgrade to IE11 unfortunately. I'm on vista and stuck with IE9 so I don't even bother.
Re:Javascript RAR reader on Tuesday November 05, 2013 @03:35AM (#6673939)
Very nice. Client side JS is getting more and more powerful. I've been playing with a JS gif compiler lately and I'm amazed it's even possible.

"by connecting to any computer within a 200m (656ft) radius which were using unprotected Wi-Fi networks."

wow it's better than any wifi router I've ever owned! Time to buy an iron.

May I ask about your reasons for using steroids and HGH? Are there any other benefits aside from getting ripped and muscle growth? I did research into them a while back and even located a supplier but I really don't like the needles.
Re:NSA monitored calls of 35 world leaders on Friday October 25, 2013 @12:42PM (#6612690)
I suspect this is already happening. There was a guide/tutorial posted a while ago on how to hijack a forum/thread and redirect the flow of conversation. I can't find the link but it was very detailed and wouldn't surprise me if someone was profiting from selling such a service as pr/thought/damage control.
