It seems to repeat the last page ad infinitum. E.g. I’m on “V”, and once you scroll down past “veury.com” it just repeats from “veour.com.” I was also hoping to browse “vec∗” domain names, and they seem to be missing from the index entirely

AFAIK, credit cards are just debit cards using credit instead of balance. You need to have CVV2 for online processing, that’s it.

Have fallback to EC2 if GridSpot can’t provide capacity you need at the moment. The same is true for any other cloud service, actually. E.g. Amazon was having problems issuing new instances in some regions following the most recent power ou

They'd have to download your custom image, probably hundred of megabytes or gigabytes, each time upon starting new instance. This makes no sense on WAN. It’s much better for both contributors (less stuff to download) and clients (less time

You can run Eclipse in headless mode and “just” add Android/touch friendly UI on top. No idea if porting Eclipse to Android’s sandbox is actually feasible, but you could certainly run it on desktop/home server over a low-latency network.

You could do this for a long time by calling Event::preventDefault method on MOUSEDOWN event. This is just the same using CSS. Obviously, this is useful for a lot of things, disabling selection being only one.

Loaded language is a very powerful cult tactic. E.g. Jehovah’s witnesses call their religion “the Truth” in their everyday conversations. Any kind of critical thought is equivalent then to “rejecting the Truth,” which automatically substitu

That’s actually pretty good way to bootstrap torrent anonymously. The issue is just keeping webseeds alive long enough, which can be tricky if the upload is fairly big.

I guess it’s not a major issue when just hosting some static content, but still if someone gets access to your server sitting behind Tor, you better make sure you don’t have any activity that can tie you to that server. This is how some peo
