What else... lower wages + no social protection = cheaper production = +profit...
Event thus now the economic leeches (AKA corporations) are changing their production to Vietnam where wages are even lower than China.
Keep wearing with proud Nike, Puma, Adidas... and all other made in "where it gets cheaper to made" outfits and stuff (until our economies collapse with so many imported junk that is).

I just pulled images from my image cache 

As for the S3 Virge... well, now it's vintage. Actually it's the best card to watch a BR movie, it will make the movie last much longer than it normally would (like 1 year to watch 90m).

First API Demo.

The site generates 2 keys and have 2 kinds of API, Public, which I'll demonstrate the use here on a function that allows to advertise your goods anywhere, including forums, also will have JSON and XML output if you want to customize it, and Private, which will be used to manage your listing from an external program, like update stock, check sales, and so on.

Here's an example of advertising:



Which is used like this:


The generated image has a 5 minute cache on the server and no cache in the client.

What is that?!

I'm creating a "Bitcoin Amazon", it's inspired on those Tor markets but for legal stuff.

The idea so far:

- A user can sell or buy items or services there, there's no listing fee but selling fees.

- All trades are in Bitcoin, although you can index your listing to EUR, USD, GBP or JPY, in this case the site will adjust the price to Bitcoin accordingly to the MtGox and Google - rate is considered frozen at the time of purchase, no complaints if it trended up or down afterwards, please.

- All sales are escrowed, if the buyer and seller agree to go OOE, the buyer can simply release the escrow at anytime after the purchase, otherwise they can and should go by the regular escrow process.

- Anti-Phishing is mostly the main concern, site's password doesn't allow Bitcoin movements, for that the user will receive a SMS message with an One-Time code.

The whole security system works as follow:

- More than 10 failed attempts to login within the last 3 hours will block your IP out for the next 3 hours. A successful login DOES NOT clean this.
- Mobile Nr. changes will take 2 days to take effect, during this time a warning will be displayed on the top of the site allowing you to cancel the change at anytime.
- Email changes will generate two outgoing messages, one to the new address to verify, other to the old address with a link to revoke the change. Revocation has priority over confirmation.
- Withdraws and escrow releases require an OTC to be sent by SMS, this code will have a cost accordingly to the current fee (sorry, hadn't find a place to send free SMS's) for withdraws but it's free in escrow releases (I take it from the 5% selling fee).


Done so far:

- Basic user registering and account management.
- Listing creation
- Live exchange rates
- Deposit and withdraw functions

To do before open for business:

- Review the design
- Listing pages (currently being done)
- SSL Certificate
- Search functions
- Buying functions
- Feedback system

Let me know about what changes or features you think it would be nice to implement and categories needed.

For the OT: None. Who cares for N. Korea unless the poor souls which have to live there?! Maybe one day it can become a touristic place under the slogan "Live and Feel like in the 1950's Soviet times".

Damn spamer! This is probably the dumbest phisher I'd ever came across.
Nevertheless my mobile provider must be happy, thanks to this bozo and his 1000+ resends of the same crap my mobile data plafond went down. 

If your VPS have kloxo just install it, it has a control panel you may feel comfortable with.
However kloxo relies on CentOS 5 and can't run bitcoind.
For bitcoind you'll need Debian 6, you can install Webmin over Debian for manage it from an interface.

Actually CoinHunter, the guy you can't remember the name, put out bounties to spam on his scamcoin behalf.

Drinking champagne at the balcony?

Put to perspective I look at Steve Jobs like a gifted business man able to transform old junk into the latest big thing, NOT an inventor, NOT a developer, he wasn't either. He resembles Marconi, for many years remembered as the radio inventor whereas all he did in such grounds was to buy it from Nikola Tesla.
From his stubbornness I applaud only one; keep iPhone/iPad Java (and other junk, like flash) free, it made a huge difference... when you try to compare an Android (Java junk) to iOS you can easily see it. But nevertheless he turned Macintosh from a high quality company into a good-for-nothing-but-vanity-braindead-folks Apple.
But maybe he was right... maybe the masses love junk. How else can we explain the success of PC compared to its late 80's competition?

And that's what makes it interesting. For the first time there aren't leaders, the isn't an union leader to be corrupted, no "negotiations", just people seeking their ideals.
The traditional political class must be terrified, from Spain, to Greece, to Middle East, to America... the ideas are on the wind and there's no way to stop them, even using their controlled press isn't working that well anymore.

@OT;

Because the Atlantic is a bit rough and way too big for me to can swim it from coast to coast

RIP Steve. From an Apple hater but a life lover. 

More than one person, yes, more than one house, no. 

Well, chaos evolution theory applies over all forum topics around the World. 

Picking up on the previous statements, looks like the impossible happened; a particle traveled faster than the speed of the light at CERN.

Oh, for that end, yes. Would be too much of coincidence. I mean if that ip resurface it could be with someone else.
Anyway, all it takes is someone with a friend at Comcast to "drop" who was wearing that IP at the given time.

Jizz man! Can you calm down a bit? US pretty often looks like a sort of "hi-tech Talibans".

San Francisco cable... that IP may be dynamic.
