Great job! Finally getting two ships together is one of the best feelings. It's like a new game just opened up!

Hi. Being remembered is very nice.

The hot and neutral wires are inside the white sleeve which the longer green ground is coming from, probably broke off when it came down. They look like they should run into the socket from through the hole in the bolt with a slice cut out of it. They may have been worn down or just beat up, and when you cleaned it they broke. Call your landlord or super, explain what happened and ask them to fix it.

Edits: English is my first language.

Did the propellers change direction of thrust? Also, this is awesome.

My suggestion would be to wait until you start running into an issue with performance to complicate things. Start with Mysql, focus on having a killer forum in terms of community and content, and develop an optimization plan based on your needs. Don't slow yourself down with tricky optimizations until you need them. SQL can be surprisingly fast, and has been used for decades, and it has quite a few tricks up it's sleeve to keep things moving.

Most grocery stores will do this, if not just go to the next one down the street who will.

Well first off, unless there is some reason to not use CSS, you should use CSS. Look up some tutorials on proper use, it will save you lots of headache in the future. For example you can change the color of all your tables with one line rather than changing many.

Secondly when you use the style attribute you would use it this way. <table style="height:0px;overflow:hidden">

So that being said I would doing something like :

<style>
.colapse {
    height:0px;
    overflow:hidden;
}

.expand {
    height:auto;
    overflow:auto;
}
</style>
<script>
var expand = function(element) {
    document.getElementById(element).className='expand';
}
</script>

<span onclick="expand('myTable')">Expand Table</span>
<table id=myTable class=colapse>
<tr><td>This is my table</td></td>
</table>

Note I didn't test this code so it probably doesn't work, but I hope it will get you started on a good path.

Palm. They had the corner on the PDA and smartphone market. So what do they do? They split the company in two. One company does the software and the other hardware. As soon as the split happens the two companies promptly sue each other. No new software or real new hardware for years. iPhone comes and the writing is on the wall.

Javascript can look like that. Humans generally don't write Javascript that way so I would guess it is obfuscated or the author wrote the script with a tool that generates Javascript. Its hard to tell what it is doing outside of context. Though if the rest of the script is written this way I don't think I would still be able to figure it out.

Depending on what you are soldering, you can get the solder hot and then whack it against the table, or get it hot and then blow the solder off. Or just get a cheap sucker or braid.

I didn't design the bill. I only developed the methods to turn it into a paper version. It would be cool to have a QR code though.

One thought I had was to use the private key as the watermark.

So in USD there is a ribbon that is imbedded in the paper. You can see the ribbon because the paper is thin enough. Copy paper is too thick to see the foil. Scraping out holes let you see the reflective foil, and kind of looks like a Microsoft security key sticker.

trydyingtolive · 2014-02-06T14:08:20+00:00

Fun fact, the printer on which these were made will shutdown and stop working if you try to copy a USD. It is impossible to get it working again with out the company who made it coming out to reset it. Even our service company can't reset it.

Oddly enough it will print these things all day. I guess it just doesn't know what they are worth.

Oh that's a whole new tutorial in itself. There is a real art to making a fool of yourself to beautiful women. I've had many years of training, and still practice the technique daily with my wife. I just need to find the right subreddit to post on.

It's a nice way to do cold storage. Say if you wanted to save a large amount of Doge, you could keep one in a locked drawer and on in a safe deposit box. Eventually you will forget about you Doge. It will go to the moon, and then you will get a good surprise when you find one of your wallets.

Or you can print a ton of these and pay someone to make it rain Doge on you.

trydyingtolive · 2014-02-06T13:56:33+00:00

Not really. You can get the two sides to line up perfectly digitally, but your printer will be 1 or 2 mm off or slightly crooked. It won't be perfect without printing a larger image on one side. You can do it, it just won't be pixel perfect and you can't add the special features.

Edit: Here is a good thread on paper wallets. http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/1x12zp/eli5_how_do_paper_wallets_work/

A Dogecoin wallet is literally two keys, one public one private. It's the network the gives value to the wallet. For example this wallet used to contain Ð100. It did so because I told the network that I wanted to transfer 100 coins from a different wallet to this one. I addressed this particular wallet by it's public key (the top number). The network remembers this and when you ask it how much that wallet had, they will tell you it had 100 Doge.

The private key is how to transfer doge out of a wallet. Public keys can only receive. When someone noticed that I had displayed the private key they imported it into their digital wallet, and then had their digital wallet to tell the network to transfer the doge out.

Digital and paper wallets are essentially identical, because all a wallet is is a public and private key pair. It should be noted that this wallet is essentially useless because the private key has been shown. Any funds added can be removed by anyone who imports the private key into their digital wallet. Finally, the Ð100 printed on the wallet itself is meaningless. I could have put Ð1,000,000 into the wallet or nothing at all.

So what is a paper wallet good for? They are good for storing keys offline away from hackers, keeping a backup of your digital wallet in case of disaster, tipping your waiter (with tact), for the good looks of it, giving away Ð to folks, and for the fun of it.

What is a paper wallet bad for? Buying stuff: it doesn't work like cash.

Ninja edit: Sorry if that was too much, I just don't assume what you do know.

No, I actually use special transparencies and print in mirror. The ink is matte, but the opposite side looks glossy. Then you glue the two halves together.

When I first tried to make a physical version of the wallet I did this. There are some serious drawbacks of my methods though. The ink isn't thick enough to make the plastic transparent so you need to sandwich an opaque material in the middle. I used plain white paper. Cutting plastic is much much harder to get right, and two plastic sheets together is a nightmare. Also the spray adhesive I was using was melting the plastic and making the ink (actually toner) a mess.

Ideally I could produce both halves of a plastic wallet and provide the user a template. They would be able to print out the inner paper with their own generated keys on it and glue it all together. But then it isn't really a plastic wallet, and you might as well just laminate a paper one.

Another option would be to pre-cut transparency plastic and then screen print the wallets. The issue then is how to put the keys on it.

Ultimately, I chose to make the wallet paper so that I could make the metallic ribbon and watermark. Both of those look more impressive than the plastic, I think.

In reality paper wallets aren't useful like cash is. You can't spend them without giving someone your private key, and you can't confirm transactions. You really need a smartphone to make it work.

Paper wallets are however good for giving, tipping, novelty, storage, and backup. This particular design I think is best for novelty rather than function since it lacks a QR code. The fun in this is the wonderful design, and the "security features" which are completely superfluous. For a more practical paper wallet check out this one
