Error copying files in Finder of OS X

Problem: I have an SD flash card (8 GB Kingston) and a MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011 model). I also use external card reader time to time. This problem persisted on all the conditions.

While building those miniatures on both MAC and SD card finder windows it did die. For me it was enough to change the view from icons to list. E.g.: This did solve it for me. Other solution (Suspect...

Meteor. Request to host is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

As a novice I'd like to describe a situation when you may need to make calls to a different domain. In my case it was a requirement to access external API. Anyway I'd like to describe here my perspective of usage this in meteor. You would need to get those data and parse them. First thought is to use client. Wrong. You would need to add CORS support to your application. It means you need to have header  Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * added to all of your response objects. This will enable Meteor usage of external domain responses. And requires you to hack Meteor code. But there is more "proper" way to work with server. Code on a server is executed synchronously and so you can be sure it will be executed and result returned. So. First we need to make sure we have a Meteor.http package installed. You can install it by executing "meteor add http" in your project root directory. Meteor.http can work in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. It is d...
