cadab··on How to find a remote job

cadab··on Text Mining South Park
I've found an image, which i'm guessing it taken from the site: http://imgur.com/IEudyni, worth looking at if the sites still down.

cadab··on City of Beijing Data Portal
> They even added a 2D bouncing Pong-style picture of an airplance on the front page, which probably got someone a promotion as that's particularly special.

Which is especially fun on mobile.

cadab··on CShell: A simple, yet powerful, C# scripting IDE
I want this, but with nuget support. LinqPad seems about the best option, but i don't need all the SQL/Database stuff that comes with it.
cadab··on Poll: Were you banned by AdSense? When in the cycle were you notified?
I was banned a long time ago, it was just before my 2nd payout. My guess is they just do the verification of the account before the payout, rather then just randomly throughout the cycle.
cadab··on Introducing Bing Code Search for C#
I just tried the web demo and loved it, so added it to visual studio, but now it works different. I really liked the /// search term [tab] idea.

Now i have to [ctrl] + [space], click on how do i, then search. Is there an easier keyboard only way like your web example?

cadab··on Facebook's Lookback
Its a auto curated video of your time on facebook, using your most popular posts/photos etc.
cadab··on Overstock.com Is Now Accepting Bitcoins
So I wonder if anyone from the US could let me know, i'm from the UK and just tried to make a purchase it bitcoin, but I only get the option for CC, debit cards and paypal, no bitcoin.

So is this US only?

cadab··on Ghost Blogging Platform
To be fair to them, the first 5 steps is just about getting a domain and server hooked up.

Edit. Its a shame there no technical details of the sensor, I'd be interested in seeing how a device like this kept functioning over a year.

cadab··on How Cold War nuclear testing once made orbit unsafe for Apollo
Ah I was unaware that Rads meant absorbed radiation.
cadab··on How Cold War nuclear testing once made orbit unsafe for Apollo
I was a bit confused as well, would it be that the skin is a good barrier to the radiation, so most would be deflected away, meaning you would only 'absorb' a very small amount?
cadab··on A Year and a Half With a Nissan Leaf (Part 1): The Acquisition
Doesn't really paint it in a good light though. Having to fight to buy one, struggling to get home even though it said it had enough range, not being able to use the heater.
cadab··on Facebook paid $4.5K for disclosure of my user account exploit
I've been paid as part of their white hat program, $4.5k doesnt seem that high compared to what i was paid for my 'exploit'. I picked up $1k for finding a bug in their event invitations, a user could add friends to a private event when using a mobile phone.

The fact that his exploit was getting actual private data from people, i'd of thought he'd of been paid more. Thats not to say $4.5k isnt a lot of money, its a very nice reward.

cadab··on GeoGuessr: Guess the location from Google street view
That was pretty close but i just pipped you.

cadab··on Millennium Challenge 2002 - military simulation
I'm guessing that alot of it was real, but stuff like cruise missile strikes would just be simulated due to the cost/risk.
cadab··on 800 Giga Hash per second user just started mining at BTCGuild
The graph shows the impact of this user. http://www.btcguild.com/pool_chart.php

cadab··on Wikipedia doesn't need your money
Just something about point 1, i donated last year and this, yet ive still received 2 emails this year (after this years donation) asking for another donation, plus you still get the massive banner on the wiki site.
