BitHDMI, the world's first HDMI cable that validates data with the blockchain!
The downside is that you only get to see the movie 2 hours after starting it
And then two other people decide to watch a different movie and there's literally nothing you can do about it.
When you finally do get around to watching your BitHDMI movie, the "very stable" environment has left you with a VHS tape.
A non-rewound VHS tape.
Filed under: Cash out before it becomes a Beta!

Please come back next year.
Or buy a real audiophile-quality blockchain cable that can cut the time down. Sure it's more expensive.
Have you considered buying some BitHDMI Mining accessories for your home theater system? It'll use some more electricity (cleaned electricity, of course), but you'll get your proper, verified bits much faster.

You have a strange definition of "OR" there, website.

@Lorne-Kates: Same site for both screenshots?
If so, looks like the developers flunked Boolean algebra.

You have a strange definition of "Here's a coupon code to receive a FREE box for your first order (3 meals for 2 people), a $65.94 value!" complete with fine print that also says a free box of 3 meals for 2 people, a $65.94 value.

Oh hey they have a TERMS AND CONDITIONS to use the site. This ought to be a laugh.
This page explains the terms by which you may use our online and/or mobile services, web site, software, meal ingredients, recipes or other products made available through the site provided on or in connection with the “Service”
Ex-fucking-scuse me? Terms and condition on how I can use the food? What the fuck do you think you're on about?
The products you purchase are for your own use and you are not permitted to resell or use the Products for any commercial purposes.
Eat a giant sack of camel clits, assholes. I can do whatever the fuck I want with any product I own. I can eat it. I can let it rot. I can shove it up my nose and post it on YouTube. And I can goddamn resell it in any way I want. Lern 2 Right of First Sale, shitlords.
Any other copying, use, distribution, transmission or modification of the Site’s content, including, without limitation, collection or use of product descriptions or prices, use of data mining or similar tools or framing of any Site content is subject to MissFresh’s prior written consent.
How about your disembowel yourself, take the end of the intestine, and shove it down your throat and swallow non-stop like a David Cronenberg-ian Ouroboros?
You can't copyright product descriptions. You can trademark a name or a motto, sure. But a product description is not a copyrightable work. It's a bunch of factual words to factually describe a thing.
Same goes for prices. They aren't copyrighted. They aren't "trade secrets" or "proprietary information" or "IP". They are, again, facts. And if you publish them, then they are facts that can be recorded and reported on.
A data mining tool, for the record, is an automated bot-- which is not human, and thus not subject to an "agreement"-- hell, it can't even AGREE to the agreement, let alone be bound by it. And while hotlinking ("framing") is a jerk move, it isn't illegal.
I hate ToS that feel they can just overreach their station and claim whatever they want without negotiation. Speaking of which...
By posting any User Content on the Service, you hereby expressly grant, and you represent and warrant that you have a right to grant, to MissFresh a royalty-free, sub licensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, syndicate, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such User Content and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your User Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for use in connection with the Service and MissFresh's (and its successors' and affiliates') business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels;
,,,
You may choose to or we may invite you to submit comments or ideas about the Service, including without limitation about how to improve the Service or our products ("Ideas"). By submitting any Idea, you agree that your disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place MissFresh under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that we are free to use the Idea without any additional compensation to you, and/or to disclose the Idea on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone.AKA: the boilerplate reason why you should never generate any user content for any company, corporation or business entity. The ToS has the usual boilerplate "We are liable for absolutely nothing, you are not allowed to sue us, we never owe you any money even if we deliberately fuck you over" language. Meaning they are saying "We owe you nothing, and we are allowed to take anything you say, think or do and claim it as our own-- forever-- and you can fuck off."
In a slight departure from my catchphrase, but closer to That Video We've All Watched: Fuck you. Pay me.
You want me to make promotional material that you can use? Fuck you. Pay me.
You want me to provide you with recipes and other meal ideas? Fuck you. Pay me.
You want me to provide you with photographs that you can use and re-license? Fuck you. Pay me.
You want me to give you ideas for free, so you can own them and monetize them? Fuck you. Pay me.
This is the reason why every single "User generated content" site is absolute garbage-shit, and no one should ever EVER "generate content" for those sites. Your ideas, actions, labor and work are worth something. These fucking companies want to literally steal as much as they can from you and give you absolutely no consideration whatsoever. You are just a money factory. You are not a person.
Fuck them.
However...
You agree not to post User Content that: (i) may create a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to you, to any other person, or to any animal;
If there is ever a way that I can kill someone through the Internet with a blog post, you bet your sweet fucking ass that is going to be posted E V E R Y W H E R E!

And yes I am aware I am posting this on a forum where users generate the content. But don't be a fucking -- you know the difference between a communication method, and submitting blogs, articles, photos and shit for a company to use as the actual content of their site.
Plus, if you'll read http://thedailywtf.com/info/privacy , you'll notice there explicitly is not "we own u" clause, nor "we can sell all u info to everyone" clause. So @apapadimoulis has one of the few sane ToS on the Internet.

@Zerosquare I for one know that all preservatives are evil. That's why I stay away from salt.

I will only eat organic salt.
-
@Lorne-Kates Salt is the only inorganic foodstuff I've ever been able to think of. Which sucks when you're teasing the "organic only" crowd.
Instead I have to resort to mentioning all the oil and plastic they must love to eat.
-
Salt is the only inorganic foodstuff I've ever been able to think of.
Water
Baking soda
Baking powder may or may not be completely inorganic, depending on the formulation. It may contain something like cornstarch or potato starch (to absorb moisture and increase the shelf life); if so, it's not entirely inorganic. If they don't contain something like cornstarch, types that contain acids such as monocalcium phosphate, calcium acid pyrophosphate, and/or sodium aluminium sulfate are inorganic; types that contain cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate, potassium salt of tartaric acid, which is an organic acid) are not inorganic.

So SharePoint allows you to use bing () to insert images in pages.
Click on 'change image' and select 'search on web'.
Of course this uses the SharePoint language so I'm stuck with Dutch.
Let's use a nice pattern to just give the page a bit more color. ...or maybe not ...

No, it's all good. Each language has a class name or namespace slot, and you're instinctively supposed to know they go in the order:
- C++/CLR
- C#
- F#
- VB.NET
If you have a language filter on, it'll only show you the one from the language you're interested in.

I'd obviously have to follow all applicable laws in regards to food handling and sale. Otherwise

Goddamnit cow-workers. You fucking know how to get types, and how to cast objects. You're doing it RIGHT FUCKING THERE
So why why why?

Because:
- If the capitalization of ShortTextLine changes parts of this might still work!
- If we only said ShortTextLine one way people might think we were bad at naming things
- This reduces risk by following online tutorial code as closely as possible
- Using Visual Basic is actively damaging our brains

Just spent 15 minutes trying to track down why I couldn't
Private Declare Function
fromLib "wininet"
. All of the help tips said that the error message,User-defined type not defined
, was usually related to a broken reference in the VBA project.WinINet
didn't even show up in the list of available references, adding%windir%\system32\wininet.dll
didn't work, and I was nearly at the verge of deciding that it just wouldn't work on Windows 10, when I commented out those lines and got the same error message on a line that definitely had nothing to do with a broken reference --Dim hOpen As LongPtr
.Turns out,
LongPtr
was the problem all along -- it's new, it doesn't work, but after replacingLongPtr
withLong
it all works perfectly fine. (Nevermind that I thought the version of Excel was exactly the same... maybe there's an update that hasn't been installed or something.)
