icode

I guess someone paid the fee for him.

He explains in great detail how he wants to make somthing that matters, fulfills him and has an impact on society and then he came up with toutapp, a product for mass emailing???

Not working here on my HTC Desire with Android 2.2. Looks like there is no way to draw.

Not undeletable. Just not deleted via the browsers "delete cookies" function.

How is the impact high?

You pay everywhere with your credit card. Everytime you buy something with your credit card number, the site you put it in can make a copy of it. Has the number any value at all?

I pay 42% on the money i pay myself as a salary. So salary has a slight advantage over paying out profits. But you cannot pay yourself as much salary as you like. You can only pay whats "reasonable" for a CEO and have to tax the rest as profit.

I live in Germany and run a software company. My company pays 31% taxes on its profits and when I transfer the remaining money to myself, I pay another 25% Taxes on that. So in the end I pay 48% taxes. Anybody in a similar situation? Any suggestions how to improve it?

"Download and install the Edge Preview"

This is so pre internet.

I wanted to try it, but there seems to be no way to use the "im feeling lucky" button any more. Its on the home page, but as soon as I type something it dissapears.

Is the button only a decoration now?

It could be interpreted as spam. People often think that "I want to help you" is "I want you to pay me" in disguise :)

Hey, the {$e('$value')} idea is interesting.

old way:

  $sql_email=mysql_real_escape_string($email);
  $sql="UPDATE t WHERE id=123 SET email='$sql_email'";

your idea:

  $sql="UPDATE t WHERE id=123 SET email='{$e($email)}'";

Im not yet sure, which one I like more.

I wished there was a new PHP syntax that would escape strings before substituting them. Like this:

escaped_query="INSERT INTO t (a,b) VALUES ('$!some','$!thing');

The "!" means "escape this variable".

That would be the easiest way to create queries with escaped parameters.

Too slow. Didn't read.

Well done! Im looking for a png parser in javascript. I would like to load pngs with xmlhttprequest and them draw them on a canvas. Ever heard of one?

When you compare the PHP with the Javascript version, do you do it on the same machine? It sounds like you run the PHP on the Server and the JS on your client.

My question was: Why is the Javascript version 20 times faster on the same machine. I mean.. 20 is a really big factor.

would like to try this on my android. could you make it work with a touch interface?

Sure, the users like it.. otherwise they would not have become your users. And sure your charity partners like it. Who wouldnt like to get money?

But "easy"... typing a money transfer order in the online interface of my bank is easy. Giving away ~50cent everytime I use my credit card is a much more complex thing.

How much do you keep from that money? Is there something about your business model anywhere?

Whats the advantage over typing a money transfer order in the online interface of your bank?

"SwipeGood rounds up all of your credit card purchases to the nearest dollar and allows you to donate the difference to the charity of your choice. It's the easiest way to give to charity!"

I guess that nobody ever invented a stranger and more complicated way of transfering money. Calling it "the easiest way" is really... well.. interesting.

If Dropbox looses your data, all company documents are gone? Or just all faxes you sent?

I have wondered about the same question. Strange, I upvoted your question but it still only has one point.

Ah, ok! Didnt think of that.

I would say its not legal. Many icons are licensed "for personal use only". So putting them on a website with advertising seems to be against the license.

It states that it works for "open networks". What does that mean? All networks that you have access to? Including those in Cafes where they give you a key to log in? Or just networks that are completely open? And why does it work at all? I thought the wlan access point would encrypt the communication between itself and the computer. Would be interesting, which protocols are vulnurable to this and which are not.

I guess the logging of raw wlan packets is a one-liner under linux? Does anybody know it?

"gem install docsplit" gives me this:

-bash: gem: command not found

Would be nice to have the output of some simple bash-oneliner that does some simple cpu speed test. So everybody could compare the speed of their VMs on different providers.

My app runs 20% faster now. Thank you, Mozilla!

Hmmm... I have an HTC Desire and it doesnt seem crippled or bloated with money greedy apps.

> Slow down, for your own sake

I wonder why this has gotten 28 points. WHY should he slow down? I have done many many things myself and some have become very profitable.

From my experience, the fastest route to success is to do what you like. If this guy likes to start a new startup every week then he should go for it. If someone likes to do one thing for 50 years he should go for that. Neither of them would be wrong.

I already understood your service last time. Now just give me those damn machines :)
