The sad thing in this (politics) is that no one gives a sh!t about real people and real situations besides imaginary currency. Over the last few years, while Greece sinks slowly due to financial situation, IMF and Germany won't back on

While I'm not going to comment on the programming side of this project[0], I'm going to say that it's very beautiful. Trully. It runs beautifully on an i386 1.5GHz in surf browser. :) /request_mode on mode with 90 degree

I'm a bit skeptical about this "feature". While as a developer I can understand _why_ companies scream against adblock (and that applies also to simple blogs/etc), as a user I understand perfectly that this is their own

I'd like more to see how these editors are handling big files (>1G) and performing substitutions. I feel editors are taking a step backwards recycling and repackaging the same ideas many previous editors had before plus eye candy.

And love that the first site was trully responsive. :) How I wish there were sites styled like that (no irony, and I know it doesn't has any style). Get in, grab your info, maybe see an image and get out. Good times.
