This could really use a demo video of usage.

seriously. This is not "in browser" if you need a plugin in my opinion.

try changing your card's expiration date to an expired date, this has worked for me in other situations like this

Instagram is a horrible image portfolio system. It does not offer full res downloads, has zero exif data, extremely limited desktop app. Instagram is a social media app first, and a photo app second.

Just look around on the internet, you'll find the same thing. I researched this a few weeks ago and was amazed.

You basically have to disable the audio driver in OSX to disable it, and doing that, means you can't play audio at all. And even that isn't enough, it technically can be hijacked at an even lower level.

I guess this is just as good place as any to bring this up. In current OS X, you cannot disable your mic. You can turn down the input volume, but never disable. All malware needs to do is raise the input volume and it can listen to you to its hearts content.

And its worse with your iPhone.

This, a million times this. Also, taxi drivers could care less about your ride experience. No way to rate them and cause any change, so they just treat everyone like crap.

Hilyin | 10 years ago | on: What does a GB of Internet service really cost? The worst case scenario (2011)

From what I've read and heard, the key is reliability, consumer internet service is not as stringent on reliability, but enterprise internet lines usually come with a guaranteed reliability.

Trademark stuff, ok, it makes sense they can't use their logos and such. But the whole quality control, food handling, meh. Soon as it's paid for and in the customer's hands, it's the customer's business what happens to it next, not In-N-Outs, it's not theirs anymore.

Yeah, who wants widescreen anyway? ;)

Hilyin | 11 years ago | on: Sass Guidelines

Its a CSS preprocessor. http://sass-lang.com/

In a nutshell, you write SASS with all sorts of bonus features that CSS doesn't do, and then you compile to CSS.

What about being liable for storing illegal files someone uploads to your filebox?

It has to be livable on in order to prevent the crime people are forced to do when they aren't making enough to live on though.
