The `checkBrowser` function says it is from brainjar.com and used under their terms of service. On the brainjar.com terms of service, it seems to say the code is licensed under the GPLv2+.
Doesn't this make the Comcast script now under the GPL - since GPL code can only be included in compatibly licensed products. Or is Comcast violating the GPL?
The adobe air based VPNoverDNS app [1] works pretty well. You can set up port forwarding for irc and SSH.
Iodine seems to be a bit more complex as the default configuration doesn't work in that environment.

Epiphany is also based upon GtkWebKit, which is a Gtk port of the same engine that runs Safari.
I think this is a very interesting move. Watching the video, it looks a bit like NFC tap to beam (which most android devices use) or bump (now shut down) except with the OS level integration.
I'm not really sure how good doing it at an OS level is. It could create a real barrier to adoption - you can't just download it from Google Play.
...Otherwise you will be made sign up through a LONG and HORRIBLE sign up process :O
I would vote for something like StackEdit beta [1]. It is really nice in the way it keeps the syntax (markdown) in a WYSIWYG-style editor.
On PC you download random software from the software makers website, not from a Google or Apple site. Now, if you are downloading something from the Google play store, that implies some form of responsibility by Google. Google is being careful to stop some people from saying "I got a virus from Google!!! They are evil!!!", and similar things.
I almost wish an api like this existed today!
It is great to see the US punishing people using bitcoin the wrong way... They even kind of implied that they think it is a real currency! I'm sure that this is a reversal on their position!
The author is not suggesting taking others content and calling it their own - he is suggesting almost keeping a backup with a bibliography. Infact, this already exists today - do you hate archive.org?
Sometimes when someone asks me for advice for how to learn to program the conversation goes like this:
Them: I want to learn to code Me: What do you want to code? A game? A robot? Them: I don't know, I just want to program.
I think this is a bit like the issue this article talked about, but coming from the learner not the teacher. In a way people who want to learn need to have an opinion too!
I was surprised to see this today as I want to use slides!
I am actually a fan of the simple, anti-powerpoint editor - that is why I use slides.
I hope you keep the old edited as an option so there is still the easy way to make WOW slides!
Well (I think) part of the whole point of a package manager is to reduce space by sharing dependencies. Npm seems to actually store a copy of the dependency individually for each package that requires it. I really think that is inefficient and a step backwards.
I really think this is exaggerated a lot. Maybe we don't use a lot of complex features, but at sugarlabs we have written a whole desktop environment and app ecosystem based of gtk3. We use the python gtk3 wrapper and I think there was only 1 instance this year where gtk3 broke our ui (icon_size got removed or something like that). We also use a lot of other gnome things (eg: gsettings) and those don't seem to be an issue.
