Javascript crypto does not work. The server can the manipulate the JS to send back the text, so it could be server side in first place. And serverside crypto is worse than useless.

I tried out exactly this one and I considered the git (or hg?) plugin to be bad. I don't know if it's better, now, but when I used it the workflow was worse than just a text editor and git. That's what I'm using now. I'm still looking for s

Controlling the spectator is remarkably bad. I hope this is not how i am supposed to play video games. Even Dead Space 1 is better, and that was so bad i could not stand it for more than 30 minutes.

Nice. What is your hardware setup? Is it some fancy automatic machine, or do you fold the card, seal the envelope and add the stamp per hand?

There are some great hacks (most are) like unix dot files, don't you think there are some dirty hacks? Like a NAT? And god forbid, i didn't want people to tell they should stop hacking. I just think worse is not always better. IMO this mean

Absolutely nothing wrong with hacking. But when i write my own userland i do not recommend it for production. And i do not compare my own radio with a B&O HiFi, and not my cart with a Porsche. /edit: Hacks are great. Hacks are evolution

In defense of the current status: You are all misusing (or absuing) the DNS. Do you live in (or target) the British Indian Ocean Territory? No? Then this domain is not meant for you. This is a hack, and I don't like it. (For the same reason

"Wer hat uns verraten... Sozialdemokraten" is a rhyme and means "Who betrayed us? Sozialdemocrates!" originally used by communist because the Sozialdemocrates never where revolutionary or anti-capitalist. The slogan is used right now to say

I don't see the point with eval. Every lisp has a eval, and most AOT Lisps are faster than ruby. Not including eval seems to be a "discipline and bondage" fetish of language designers. Yes, you can write pretty awful code with eval. But it

AFAIK you don't need much computing power, you just need to be lucky to be the first one to solve the problem and create a new hash. I case you have lot's of tries even a 0.05% chance every 10 minutes might be enough. Not sure if i make a m

I'd like to see a lisp that allows all the kinds of different brackets. ( 〖〗〘〙〚〛〈〉() [] <> and maybe more.) I think i can make the code easier to read. All we would need was a emacs script. When the cursor is on the closing bracket

Android 4? That's a pity. But why a mobil app? Why not a .war app for the i2p router? IMO Social networks are something that are mostly used on desktop computers. Also it seems to me like you want to fork i2p. I think that's a very bad idea
