fwiw I immediately understood what I was looking at and proceeded to get hooked on that game :) a popover or floating arrow or something might be a decent way to solve some people not getting it.

It's a 12 column (col) grid, so a 'col-lg-6' takes up half of the page. 'col-offset-3' adds a 3 column margin on the left, effectively centering the element. http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid

That's what I always thought about tor as well, but today I downloaded and have been using this - and it was/is as simple as installing and using any other browser: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrows

My experience is probably not typical (I move around a lot and rarely go to the same Starbucks more than a few times) but I'm only about 70% sure that any given Starbucks will have a connection at all. So I only go in if it's real

No rep needed if all they want is coverage. If they want to craft the message, they still need PR. The job just changes from selling the story to getting the right people to cover it in the right way. That's why Apple still takes PR ve

I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but it isn't accurate. Paedophiles are regularly sent to prison in Thailand. There is also some misunderstanding about who declared bitcoin illegal. The Central Bank deals speci

That's awesome and I'm a big fan of Bootstrap and use it for nearly every new project. However I think 'powered' is taking things a bit far. Maybe 'styling' 1% of the web or 'powering the front-end' o

Very disappointing to see no data of any kind on the Good Old Days other than the word of some people they met in a park in San Francisco. Needless to say, their word is extremely unreliable. Two claims specifically are pretty obvious exagg

I actually haven't lost money. I still have a 57% overall profit (at a price of $3.03). It does suck though. Similar to how it probably feels to have your startup be acqhired. It's not a total loss - but it's definitely not w

I've been betting heavily on a turnaround, adding to my position in ZNGA each time it dipped below $3. Real money gambling I knew would be the savior and since they weren't burning much cash any more, they just had to wait for tha

Thanks. Where would you recommend to stay if I wanted to go for a week or two and check things out? I'd just be showing up unannounced (the VegasTechFund site seems to encourage that) but would want to get as close to an authentic expe

From reading about VegasTech I thought 'The Ogden' was a building owned by Hsieh and restricted to startup people - but it appears that is just a normal building lots of them have chosen to live in? Anybody have an idea of the cos

Nice one, ya probably true. Smartphone and camera ubiquity probably also plays a role. Just as cops know if they try to Rodney King somebody it will be on YouTube an hour later, so are criminals aware there will be a bunch of digital eviden

That was the old school argument, verbatim. The new school disagrees. I don't really have an opinion but I'm pretty certain Nate agrees with the new school and would disagree strongly with your view. The new school argument is som

The value of the business would instantly go up a lot more than 6% just by having "YC" forever attached to the company. All of the advising, connections etc would just be a cherry on top.

Buy BTC from tocomment Inc with credit card. If in 5 1/2 months the price of Bitcoin is lower, issue a chargeback and take no loss. If the price is higher, do not issue a chargeback and take the profit. Sounds like a bad deal for tocom
