Can you name some payment gateways from banks? I would like to read up on this.


I would like to know which payment gateway you are using.


Paddle.com is one gateway that offers this.



I believe it was possible in the past using URL parameters (e.g. complete=0 to disable auto-suggest) but it does not seem to work anymore.

Here it was documented in 2012:

There are (or at least were) others with related effects.


Looking at something indeed doesn't mean paying attention to it. That's why head-up displays can be dangerous (just like handsfree phone usage).

Daniel Simons, a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois, says this in his episode of the You Are Not So Smart podcast:

Head-up displays are discussed starting at 12:31.

If I remember correctly, pilots were at danger to miss planes on the runway while using a head-up display.

"Even pilots use it – it's safe." Is it?


Would you please elaborate what they are doing and why it is intriguing?


sorry for the late reply. I think probably cause it is out in the open, compared to methods by bigger tech companies like google where the user information is not passed in the url for reset password


Now you made me curious. How would I be able to switch between different sound cards on the fly without restarting applications if PulseAudio did not exist?


Let's take a common case: I have a motherboard sound device which I use 95% of the time, and I have a USB camera that has a built-in microphone.

When I go to settings in Google Hangout, it asks me which device I want to use. ALSA presents the interfaces. I choose whatever combination I want -- mic from the camera, headphone out through the mobo -- and it works.


How many people ever had more than one sound card in their computer, let alone a need to switch between them ?

Everyone with headphones or headsets using Bluetooth or USB.


I have some USB speakers I'm fond of, and PulseAudio was indeed the only way they ever worked right for me on Linux.


As CPU counts continue to rise and Flash support continues to get dropped from more pltforms, that comic will become more ironic.


I think I have four: Onboard audio, pcie sound card, usb microphone and hdmi audio on video card.


Not sure if serious


I am satisfied with the results of optipng which is free software.

I just run: optipng -o7 *.png

http://optipng.sourceforge.net/


It gets in the way as soon as the browser window is less than 1287px in width. Did I mess up my measurement or is this really 1287px? My browser is rarely that wide.
