How can you Hack something then open source it? thats intelectual property, if you didn't write it you dont have the right to open source it, am I right? can someone explain if this is legal, what if someone decides to use one of this filters on an app?

mrpollo··on Zip.js - A JavaScript library to zip and unzip files
Might have been my poor connection or the file size limit, I just got this screen shot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9694286/zip.js/ScreenShot2012-02-01a...

Here is the zip output http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9694286/zip.js/123Example.zip

And finally the guilty upload http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9694286/zip.js/search-engine-optimiz...

Hope it helps debug or something!

mrpollo··on Bootstrap 2.0, From Twitter
yeah my best guess is that "i" for "icon", it's a good use, from the w3c "their use is discouraged in favor of style sheets." so I guess it doesn't really hurt no one, but the purists, or am I wrong?
mrpollo··on Bootstrap 2.0, From Twitter
yeah, like using <i> for icons http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/graphics.html#edef-I

I have to admit that of all the ideas I had of how to black-out a big site like wikipedia a simple overlay never occurred to me, but its brilliant, not really disturbing SEO or any other service that is built on top of Wikipedia, congrats
mrpollo··on Making Love to Webkit
I normally dont comment much here, but this made me came out of my cave to type, Thanks for thinking out of the box, or at least showing me a new path to follow, as a web developer I miss the old days of "Flashy and Tacky" websites not because I miss flash, Its because of the innovation that drived that time, we all know there are some bad examples and bad implementations but when the project is right Its well worth it.

Maybe the revenue will come from a carpooling discovery standpoint, where you find people that have a big car where you can ride, or people to help you pay for gas
mrpollo··on What 2012 Holds for Google

mrpollo··on Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits.
Eduardo I can relate to everything you experienced this year, except that I'm from Mexico and I got to travel to Chicago for a job I landed. Here's to great 2012 much much better than this great year thats leaving us as we read!

Happy new year.

mrpollo··on Amazon Will Pay Shoppers $5 to Walk Out of Stores Empty-Handed
I was shopping for toys for my 4 year old this black friday, and I scanned a few of them ( if not all ) and the discounted toys where at the same price as Amazon.

eg: Lego Train Set

Store: $21.99

Amazon: $19.99

while the store price is marked as 20% off, and the Amazon price is marked as Prime, i went with Amazon Prime for the most part, the free shipping always wins for me, I wish this promotion was already active back then.

mrpollo··on Startup hopes to hack the immigration system with a floating incubator
Have lived in Tijuana almost my whole life, In no way my life has been in danger at any point, even when i decided to go to the bad parts of town, and I dont know anyone that has been kidnapped or killed, its always been someone far from me. On the news theres always stories of people getting mugged or killed, but somehow I've managed to stay away from it all, its mostly fear now, but we go about our business as if nothing happened.
mrpollo··on Startup hopes to hack the immigration system with a floating incubator
the fact that there's American people trying to get Immigrants into the country playing in grey areas of the law ( or "hacking" if you want to call it that ) should be enough for US Lawmakers to fix what they currently have, theres a big opportunity for the US to exploit its tech culture converting it to a big incubator, instead they want us to bring money from abroad to get a "Startup Visa" or they want us paying taxes landing already hired with H1's or TN's. I dont know much about law and immigration, but in my experience (having a TN for a year moving to the US only to have it denied after the 1st year and having to come back to Mexico) the system is really broken, and since no one from the US has to go through it, it will remain so, until they review and test it.
mrpollo··on Startup hopes to hack the immigration system with a floating incubator
I think he wanted to point out the ferry can land there, since Ensenada is a big Port, Tijuana and Rosarito dont have a docking port, but really I worked at a "startup" in San Diego for 4 years with a B1, living in Tijuana crossing the border, and as others can attest, it's miserable, every day you risk your B1
mrpollo··on Hackers destroy water pump via SCADA abuse
Never thought about it that way, but you are right, a system so vital and critical should never be left for 1 human to deal with, reminds me of missile systems where you need 2 keys and Passphrase's, did they ever resolved this? I'm guessing no.
