If you're on a Mac, it's:

sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 173.194.55.0/24 in

sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 206.111.0.0/16 in

Cool idea! Few things about the website:

* The navbar on https://www.bitspend.net/order.html isn't consistent with the rest of the site. It's missing the "Order Now" link.

* I want to click your logo to go to the home page.

* You're using the Bootstrap default favicon

* Is the business's name Bitspend or BitSpend? Both appear on the site.

* The links on the bottom of the main page don't go anywhere.

* The text in the jumbotron/masthead is misleading. The item isn't shipped directly to the consumer.

* "Unlimit Your Bitcoins" sounds a bit awkward. What about "Unleash Your Bitcoins"?

I learned the command line by using the command line. When I switched to Arch Linux, using bash was inevitable. It took many Google queries and reading many man pages to finally become comfortable in it.

What determined the outcome of your service was the convenience factor. To use it, the user needs to select the information, go to your webpage, and then submit it. It's too much work for the user.

OP's program removes 1/3rd of the steps, making it much easier for the user.

My bad. I didn't see it on HN previously. I'll make sure to double check next time.

Yeah, I'm having the issue on Chrome 27.0.1425.0 dev on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. It's quite annoying.

It might be your machine/browser/os. The same thing happened on my laptop (OSX/Chromium), but it worked fine on my desktop (Arch/Chromium).

I hope you're aware imgur compresses images that you upload to it regardless of whether they were already compressed.

Yes, programming is taught inside of _some_ high schools. A shockingly low amount of high schools actually teach it though. Neither my high school nor other nearby high schools have any sort of computer science curriculum.
