When browsing the ads on http://weworkremotely.com, I have to force myself to read the highlighted listings, otherwise my brain just ignores them.

I guess it's the product of years of ignoring the ads on Google.

It may seem backwards, but the only real way to buy Bitcoins anonymously is to buy them in person using cash.

Check out: http://localbitcoins.com

But you can just buy them through somewhere like Coinbase, then use Bitcoin Fog to make them anonymous.

If you leave them in Bitcoin Fog for a couple of days / weeks, there is very little chance they'll be traced back to you.

Seeing as those are still up and haven't been removed, I'm guessing the Coinbase app was removed for quality reasons. I used the thing and wasn't impressed. The experience wasn't great. Hopefully if they fix it up and resubmit the app, Apple will allow it back in.

I don't have a problem with doing this in general. I just have a problem with a company who's sole purpose is to make profit doing it.

If a non-profit organisation like Wikipedia started doing this, it'd be fine by me. Because they'd actually do it for the purpose of free information and not so they can just slap ads on it.

Do you think the MPA is unsuitable for running GNU/Linux? Or are you just looking for a cheaper alternative?

I think this may have happened to my MacBook Air 62 GB (Summer 2012). One day I booted up and nothing happened, just had a blank screen that never went away. I tried to use the internet restore and it couldn't find a drive. I then USB booted to Ubuntu and looked for the drive, but no drives were there.

Does this sound like the drive failure they're talking about? It happened a month ago and I haven't touched it since. I obviously can't run the firmware test they suggest, because my drive has already seemingly failed.

When I see code like this, I'm always amazed that I can actually read it and (kinda) understand what it's doing. I always expect code like Facebook's to be so finely tuned and advanced that it'd be completely uninteligable to those outside the company and not an expert in the language.

Because god forbid people write code in language he doesn't like.

The Linux Development Community is known for being overly aggressive. Torvalds more than most.

If you say something stupid or do anything wrong, they will hate for for it and call you an idiot.

It's not necessarily a bad thing. I guess it may help prevent lesser programmers from contributing code to the kernal.

Heroku next?

Many people do enjoy writing JavaScript and view it as just as good as Python and others.
