Wowwww this is amazingly old school. Talk about time travel. That "download blast" section looks like it has a significant amount of bandwidth though. It's cool to see the idea implemented though

No problem Paul! Thanks for hosting everything and being an awesome emcee.

Certainly! It's actually 90% there already. All incoming packets are handled the same way regardless of the sender. The JS does this by querying DOM for a div with the "fbChatMessage" class but without the "read" class. Once it has this div

Good idea! That would definitely require ripping open the plugin or compiling your own (and swapping it out when the page is loaded), but it would certainly enable a ton more bandwidth. I was really impressed when I first saw this image ste

What you said is completely true, but we were going for 1984-esque post apocalyptic scenarios. Imagine every ISP shuts down traffic to all domains / addresses except a small whitelist of mega corporations (fox.net, facebook, msn, etc). Grea

Sure! It's as simple as running the system command "osascript" and passing in the file here: https://github.com/pcottle/emotiface/blob/master/backend/key... As you can see, it just keeps hitting return 20 times (for 20 packets). The JS do

Wow, thanks for the writeup Alex! I never though about the DNS routing issues on mobile that would send the same packets on two completely different paths (all to end up in the same dorm room). All of this on top of the ticker / chat / live

Ah thanks, I missed that. So 180k a year? That's honestly not a whole ton for a startup that big...

A better question is if you would sign up for data online on your phone or voice-only :P

I 100% agree. We read about so many Crowd-Sourced-Cloud-Based Social Location-aware ridiculous web apps that spring up every day that allow you to "throw a sheep" at your friends that it's getting a little ridiculous. That's why people keep

That's awesome that Dwolla is moving 350 million a year, but I wonder how many total transactions that sums up to. Since they're charging per transaction, showing a net transfer amount doesn't really give any ideas about total revenue or if

GPS signals are everywhere, so the only thing you could intercept would be the outgoing transponder signal. This could be masked as almost anything.... random cell phone packets, radio waves with local pickup, etc. Hell, they could even jus

No offense, but visiting Andrey's website and reading the top post here: http://tarantsov.com/ kind of rubbed me the wrong way. First he states that whitepapers are a 'shitload of crap' and then he has 'NIGGAS' in his most recent tweets.

Calling methods like pop(), insert(), and remove() on a list actually affects the contents of a list rather than returning a _copy_ of the list with everything removed. For example: all = range(10) allbut2 = all.remove(2) Actually removes 2

Woof! Someone's been out of high school for too long :P exp(x) takes e (the constant) and raises it to the x power. Log(x) finds the power to raise the base (usually 10 but sometimes e) to produce x. They are essentially inverses of each ot

I'm not sure which airline you flew, but Southwest will actually turn people away (mainly because it's first-come-first-serve seating). So it happens. Start being strict and people will learn.

Birth location =/= mailing address zipcode. Babies are usually born in hospitals, and thus parents from many areas concentrate in one specific building. When you re-distribute these births out to their respective homes around the county, th
