Someone needs to make a distributed one that can't be regulated. If they're going to use cryptocurrency to fund drugs and crime we might as well use it for the good stuff too.

You basically just explained good software engineering. Code that does one, well-defined, necessary thing and does it well. If you want to "do a thing", a DoThing() function is the…

Which sounds like the only logical solution.

Isn't that something you could investigate and prove? Look up 1000 randomly-generated domains from different IPs, check later if any of them are registered, done.

Indeed, blocking Facebook Connect or disabling Javascript makes the page show empty (on all browsers).

Luckily I'm on a 30Mbps connection now ;-)

I hate Steam's DRM. People keep trying to convince people that it does not actually require an Internet connection and all that. Try using it for 6 months with a 0.2 Mbps connectio…

Just accept the future man. "Pyramid From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A pyramid (from Greek: πυραμίς pyramis[1]) is a structure whose shape is roughly that of a pyramid in the…

I read somewhere about how Windows introduced in early versions the ability to make buttons look "3D" (update: here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/07/28/19958...…

RGBA can be unintuitive. Opera implemented transitions by interpolating them (I think it's solved now), which turns out not to work very well: http://bugs.hawn.be/opera/transitions…

As a long-time Yahoo mail user, I'd say basically any email service is better than Yahoo Mail, at least if we're talking about their webmail interfaces. (Protip: http://us.mc598.ma…

You know you can buy tablets with Windows 7 today right? It does not have a touch-optimized interface but you can run any program on it, and you might even be able to dual-boot And…

I just wondered if it would be possible for a company to sign something saying that they will not accept any settlement (larger than $0) with the other company (and that if they do…

Opera seems to have it too, but I don't use it much. It also has had "labels" (as opposed to folders) and message indexing for quite some time, I believe this was one of its main s…

Theres's A LOT of emotional weight attached to these kind of issues. People tend to pick one side and feel identified with them (ingroups) and get angry at people at the other side…

For example, if you want to play a game with someone who's on the other side of the world (or the galaxy) without that annoying lag imposed by relativity, you can simply have them …

I think computing power would be a much bigger issue than bandwidth. You'd need to run many instances of the game for each user, and continuously kill and fork them. And frankly, a…

It's funny, because in my (shitty) country, we have a "communications industry regulator" that basically does only this: sue people who give free internet. Well I get 30Mbps for le…

You said it. I have this feeling people tend to forget developers are users too. The "don't make me think" rule still applies even if their job is thinking. So if you really want p…

In 15 years we are all gonna surf the web in a "virtual browser" that will be coded in HTML + Javascript running inside another browser. Ha ha, that's silly, I'm just joking. Or am…

That was interesting. I've often wondered if it would be possible to ditch the current keyboard layouts and start from zero. If I had to do that, my initial approach would probably…

Fun fact: Opera has had "widgets", which are basically the same thing as this, since version 9 (2006). They could run without having the main browser open, and when I looked inside…

I used mailcatch.com, but I always ran into problems like sites that block temporary accounts. So I decided to make a Google account for all my, ahem, "NSFW needs". Which would als…
