> Drag and drop is universally a "cut and paste" operation. Unless you are using Gnome and the origin and destination of your drag and drop are on two different devices. In which case it will copy instead of cut.

If anything : decentralized vs centralized currency. For the laymen : Nobody owns Bitcoin. Liberty Reserve owned Liberty Reserve. It's as simple as it gets.

I don't think it's unethical, but I do think it's kind of rude. If you're looking for idioms, give bab.la a try : http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-portuguese/ If you're looking to learn

Contrast[1] is too low for me as well, and text should not be justified[2] IMO. I too appreciate your effort, but keep in mind the differences between print- and web- layout design. Most scientific papers are published in PDF, using Latex.

Bootstrap's initial intention was both not to lose time with webdesign when building back office applications and to have a consistant design in back office applications. This is the reason why I think it's a great tool for an

Nope. Zerocoin is. (Disclaimer : I'm a fervent Bitcoin supporter, I like its pseudonymous property and discard any anonymat claims. I've never used zerocoin because I don't have any use for it.)

Well, thank you, I know how bitcoin works. :) The blockchain does not store any IP address. Read about the protocol or read the specs or read the code, or easier : ask anybody. Bitcoin is absolutely not anonymous, and not intended to be a

> QT should be pronounced "cute", but I say "queue-tee". I think we would say "queue-tee" if it was QT instead of Qt. To me, "cute" makes more sense for "Qt".

You should add a <title> to your page. I bookmarked it and had to copy/paste from content to title.

Great idea, works well on 4 sites out of the 5 I tried it on. Too bad it makes notforest.com completely blank and thus not readable at all. I'll keep it anyway !

I didn't get it when Google decided to name their language Go because it was awfully hard to google. Same here : the name isn't bad but will be impossible to google for anyone forgetting to add "python" to their request. Anyway, great initi

Exactly. Lenovo was on the right track a few years ago with X200(s), providing 1440x900 on 12.3" with hardware very well supported on Linux.

I was talking about direct democraty, not taxes. Political systems where citizens propose laws that are voted by citizens, and where citizens propose to suppress laws and make all citizens vote on this suppression, by example.
