Plus... many places want to scan/photocopy your insurance card. I'm not sure how that would work from a smartphone screen.

As mentioned in other comments, you should make sure it's a food-safe bucket. The orange Home Depot buckets, for example, are NOT food-safe.

It's hard to chart subjective descriptions. He does describe the difference in taste/feel between different methods: "there's a definite case of wet-sponge syndrome" "the flavor a little bland" "it's undoubtedly more juicy and well-seasoned

No, the USDA and pretty much anyone regulating food safety agree that storing food touching non food-safe plastics is always unsafe because the bags may be made with or coated with chemicals that WILL leach into your food. This is definitel

Most garbage bags are not made of food-safe plastic, so be aware that you may be ingesting substances you don't want.

The transitions are what really interest me about D3. It seems much better suited for that use-case. Thanks for the interesting link!

I learned about RaphaelJS recently and used it (along with some jQuery code) to make a very interactive county-by-county map of data our company is interested in displaying for marketing purposes. I've heard about D3 ( http://d3js.org/ ), b

This looks amazing, and puts a lot of patient-focused data out in a much more usable format. I wonder about other parts of the chain (e.g. payer <-> provider) could benefit from this kind of tech-enabling?

This is much easier to overcome than image/text CAPTCHA systems.

Amazon actually distinguishes between accounts with the SAME email address but different passwords. I don't know of any other site that uses email as an account identifier and lets multiple people use the same one.

So, would that detection mechanism be able to deal with a number of coordinated scrapers rotating through lists of proxies, using different User-Agent strings, making requests with (pseudo-)random delays between requests?

Scraping, in itself, is often not prohibited, wrong, illegal, or against most sites' TOS. Your site would allow me, for example, to scrape all your content for my own personal use, but I couldn't re-publish or re-sell the info. It seems har

FWIW, I'm running Raspbmc RC5 and am able to watch 1080i MPEG2 (recorded HDTV streams) and 1080p H264 streamed over my local network. Sometimes audio decoding causes issues (I don't have it hooked up to a receiver) like strange audio glitch

For those interested, it can do hardware MPEG2 (and VC-1) decoding as well, you just have to pony up a few bucks for the MPEG-2 license - http://www.raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/ or the VC-1 license - http://www.raspberrypi.com/vc-

I'm not an e-commerce expert, but if you are paying with a credit card, merchants usually require that the billing address be the same address as the one on file with the creditor.

If you host the domain there, shouldn't you already have access to put the file in the right place on your own (i.e. without help from CS/TS)?

Perhaps it's time to consider another host? I've been happy with Dreamhost as a bargain-priced hosting provider.

Not sure how long it's been there, but I feel like it's not a super-recent addition. I never really paid much attention to the launch dates.

This site answers a lot of questions for a lot of people. It's a really great site that closely mirrors the KS design. Nice work! Things I'd like to see added: Length of campaign, also search by launch/end date Search funding goal with uppe

I like the simple implementation. One small UI complaint: the text on the button is hard to read because of low contrast.

Why use 'keyup' and not 'onchange'?

I work in Minneapolis and my commute is about 30-40% (15-20 min) less than what this site says. Neat idea, but certainly needs improvement for broad real-world use.
