100% confidential? Nothing is 100% confidential if it's connected to the Internet.

Nice. Are you using the Tessaract OCR lib at the core of the extraction?

I always use Adblock. I also use Do Not Track, dot.js (to modify pages), Tampermonkey, Ghostery when needed and other extensions / scripts. I also clear my cookies upon closing the browser. I don't care that I'm an "asshole". When I show le

It's posts like this that make me embarrassed to be a programmer. The author basically states, "Node.js is not a good fit for my company, therefor everyone using node.js is wasting their time." It's generalizations like this that just blow

"Eventually, we will lose." That's such a pessimistic statement. With that attitude, some SOPA-like Bill will pass. As an example, if MLK had that attitude, the whole Civil Rights movement would've failed.

OooooOooo... A black background with grey text! That's some pretty radical protesting right there. Should've turned off HN for 12 hours instead.

Some people take photographs because they just like taking photographs, like myself. If someone happened to use one of my photos, then so be it. I'm not in it to make money. I'm in it because I like the process of taking a photo, as well as

I love hacker news as well as reddit. I have noticed a trend though, and I'm unsure if it's intentional, or just a result of how both sites are used: 1.) The stories on Hacker News are mainly about start ups (not all, but most). 2.) The use

Humans are great at adapting to their surroundings. If you give them fancy gadgets, or a new way of doing something that is innovative, they'll forget how they did "x" before they had the new fancy "widget".

Some of the best music that came out of the 50s was recorded on tape, then overdubbed, then overdubbed again. Creativity shouldn't be judged based on the medium.

Well, like I said, it's good to have choices. I carry around a point and shoot all the time. There's always one in the car. There's also one in my laptop bag. I routinely have a DSLR near me 90% of the time... then again, I'm a bit of a pho

In my case, I have a Garmin for GPS, which is much more reliable than any phone GPS I've used. If you compare the quality of a point and shoot digital camera vs a smart phone, the digital camera will blow it out of the water. For me, it's a

I have a Droid incredible. Here is my experience: If you have "use wireless networks" and Gps turned on, things don't always work right. If you have just Gps turned on the experience seems to work better. I live in Madison, wi and having bo
