dasonyon Cross-platform emoji solution

Any chance Apple, Github, or Campfire have their emoji png icons available for download? (with a good license?) If not, what would be a nice set of emoji png's I can use for my website?

dasonyon Cdnjs - the missing cdn

The idea is that users wouldn't have to download the same jquery or whatever script over and over for every site they visit. It makes less sense when it comes to not-so-popular script files, but I guess there's a convenience factor too.

I would say it changed a lot, especially after iPhone was released in Korea. By laws, government websites now have to support multiple browsers and laws, and several banks now offer "Open Banking" which supports Mac and Linux.

The browser (which implements the encryption) would be banned. I remember I could choose between US only version (128-bit encryption) and international version when I download Netscape. Of course I could just download the US version, but Korean government couldn't enforce banks to use 128-bit officially. (not to mention IE bundled with Korean Windows would not have supported it.)

> South Korean banks and other organisations are losing money due to fraud and blackhat activity but there is next to nothing they can do about it.

Do you have any source to back that up? I talked to some security people and they used to tell me, although ActiveX is a pain, we are having much less damage from Internet banking. I'd love to have something that says this isn't the case.

> That and the government's encryption app is closed source and not peer reviewed.

The encryption algorithm itself (SEED) is open and is peer reviewed.
