Re:Siteless Website Possible?

(I'm not a cryptographer)
Imagine a web where all links were magnet links. Each site could also have a magnet link to another site containing a diff in case of updates which the browser would automatically check.
The content hash in the magnet link would have to be based on something other than content (because content is not known at the time of page creation). The magnet link could contain a cryptographic hash of a secret string that only the owner possessed.

This would make for a great election stats website displaying live sentiment analysis.
EDIT: Even better if you could even annotate each point with the most tweeted quote.

Why would you use a human flight expert instead of an algorithm?

You can't? Here's a MacRuby script that can take a photo with your webcam: https://github.com/pioz/snappy.

Sometime in the 90s there existed a Windows application that added a chat overlay to any webpage. Users had small rectangular icons and could move around the webpage. You could also create a "bus" and drive people around the web.

I can't seem to find the end condition for the Maze demo. There is no 'goal_reached?'

Cool idea. Reminds me of the novel _For The Win_ by Cory Doctorow.

They could only succeed in delaying the propagation of changes to DNS records; ISPs have their own copies.
Re:How to cite a tweet (MLA)
on Monday March 26, 2012 @12:16AM (#3754967)
Why not use the tweet's ID? That would preserve the conversation/context as well.
Also, I've seen the word "tweet" used to describe posts on Seiba Weibo. It's possible that the term will be become ubiquitous to describe micro-blog posts.
EDIT: Reason for not using ID: no one knows if they're permanent.
