Stealth-

I really enjoy how you are able to see the "trail", or area explored, in this implementation

I disagree. I think they have hit the perfect middleground. Those who want digital downloads can use them with the understanding that they cannot be traded, but like steam has always functioned. Those who prefer true, physical media can still use it just like it makes sense to.

I think this is by far the best decision they could have made. They have kept DRM out of it for those that do not want it, but have also taken a step toward the online download service that they have been striving for.

Yeah, I think in the HN community Node would be a much more common option than VB.

This is definitely the farthest thing from "rather ingenious".

There are countless bots out there already abusing this idea with followers, and pushing it into favourites isn't making it any better. All it does is add pointless noise to the twitter network and unethically take advantage of the fact that they can't catch all of the spammers at once.

Of course you can make money when you violate the rules, but that doesn't mean doing things like that are an ingenious or stable business model.

It isn't hard to make yourself anonymous with your spending.

Want to buy a gift for your wife? Send BTC to a coin mixer or a new eWallet, then pull it out to a newly created separate, anonymous, address. Use that address to purchase.

Use the reverse process for receiving money, if you want to keep your main account private.

New addresses can be created on the fly, so it isn't much different of a privacy nightmare than current card transactions.

Same with Chromium.

There definitely is a form of a search bubble though, right?

It continually and randomly decided what the outcome was for about 5 minutes before freezing for me. (On Chromium)

Coming from someone who has never used or tried Sublime Text, how does this compare to Vim in general? It's taken quite a while to grow familiar with Vim, is it worth the learning curve to ditch it now and try Sublime? Are the two really that different? A lot of what I'm seeing looks like things that can be done in Vim, but I might be missing something.

Vim produces a warning whenever you focus on the window, asking if you want to keep your current work or load the changed file. If you keep your work, it reminds you yet again if you attempt to save over the changed file, just in case.

As far as being "the most techie of people", this article is actually quite basic and gives a very easy introduction.

Amazon solves this with shared keys, and is filepicker's up coming solution. You might want to look into doing it like that.

I have been thinking this same thing. I constantly read it as the "Kindle Paperweight" and think it's some sort of Kindle rant before I realize.

Ah, my bad. I totally see I needed to scroll down >.< In case anyone is wondering, the page says "Access to a copy of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach is also suggested."

Is this book required to take the course online?
