I'm working on this for a client at the moment. The tricky bit is that the credit-card processing itself is being done by a third party gateway. We pass a request to the third party to go collect a payment for $X and let us know when that

Beautiful, and if you didn't try the WebGL "DEMO" go back and try it. I like the way the original faces map 1:1 onto the original mesh, too ... which would be important for a Minecraft-like environment with many block types, rather than the

I realize that Apple will be steering around the territory covered by Glass, but given the 90s "Virtual Reality" crazy and all the work done by folks such as Steve Mann[1] over the years, is there any chance whatsoever that patents involvin

Or if you don't want to add in a prior specific belief about americans vs. non-americans, just keep one counter per option per continent-of-source-IP (or whatever) and the learning algorithm should work it out on its own. Of course, if you

I've implemented two projects using SSL Client Certificates in the last few years, and one of them, a B2B kind of thing, has been live for a couple of years with several hundred customers using it day-to-day. Some times it works great, and

Reminds me of the good old days of <IMG SRC="Logo-From-Branding-Guidelines-2000x2000.gif" HEIGHT=100 WIDTH=100> ... It is pretty easy to avoid doing this with CSS background images: just use something like: .banner {

Not if you put the data URIs in a stylesheet shared across all pages: that gets cached nicely.

Absolutely. You know what else would be nice? Color palettes, maybe even a "starter" CSS file to point you in the right direction to have the style of the site match the logo and name. Fiddling with that stuff can soak up an inordinate a
