Looks good, would love to see this take off! I've been really curious about rails lately - were there any major benefits compared to writing this in PHP?

I don't know about you people, but if I received a counter-offer which involved an unlimited amount of free snacks I'd take it.

1. You'd have to actually click and willingly install the software to be infected.

2. Even though he's able to randomize the banner code the redirect to the advertiser's site will most likely be caught by ad blockers.

Still it's a pretty hypocritical thing to do when you're the creator of a plugin which aims to increase the user's security.

This way I'll get emotional each time I open a new tab. I also didn't know about Watsi before coming across your plugin, seems like a really interesting idea!

I also noticed that the "%" symbol is on the wrong side of the numbers.

Anyway, good luck with the addon. :)

But what will the humans be working on while the bots take care of it all?

There's no point in commenting there since the thread is dead.

I really wonder what people will work with in the future with both the AI and human population advancing rapidly. Jobs will be taken over by robots at the same time as more mouths will have to be fed.

When I was experimenting with PS a few years ago, progressive JPEGs were always larger than baseline which is why I came to that conclusion.

This isn't however the full picture. To keep it short, baseline JPEGs are usually smaller if the file size is less than 10 KB.

Progressive jpgs increase the size

Oh, I see. That must be to track how much the user's downloaded/uploaded, right?

Don't most torrents mainly rely on DHT these days?

This doesn't make much sense.

Just because the computers at your local library are slow doesn't mean that the NSA can't get your data.

That's not true.

There are always window shoppers and people that go there just to "hang out" without buying anything.

The wealthy people also have to buy their clothes somewhere and they probably stick to overpriced items in brand stores (not sure if I'm using the right name, but I'm thinking of the stores where they only sell one brand) which could be locates in a mall.

I recall that Google was taken down by a botnet in 2003, but I'm not able to find any articles about it.

Today it's different, not only do they have a massive network, but they probably also have firewalls which drop the attacks from the start.

Isn't it inaccurate to base this on addresses, since nearly everyone uses more than one?

Ah... just when you thought it couldn't get more annoying

These 'attackers' give Krebs' more publicity than he would ever be able to generate himself.

It's also useful to point out that Krebs' hasn't been the only target as half a dozen other large targets were attacked http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1599694

I dont't see why people would want to use FLAC. The file sizes are huge and the audio quality difference is bearly noticeable compared to an encoding like .aac

Or am I missing something?
