+- the browser receives the paste URL and adds the key in the URL hash (#).
 
 When reading the paste:
 
 - the browser makes the GET request to the paste URL;
 - because the key is in the hash, the key is not part of the request;

 Key points:
 
 - because the key is in the hash, the key is never sent to the server;

-- all operations, including code coloration, must happens on the client;

 - 0bin uses several HTML5/CSS3 features that are not widely supported. In that case we handle the degradation as gracefully as we can.
 - The "copy to clipboard" feature is buggy under linux. It's flash, so we won't fix it. Better wait for the HTML5 clipboard API to be implemented in major browsers.
-- The pasted content size limit check is not accurate. It's just a safety net, so we thinks it's ok.
+- The pasted content size limit check is not accurate. It's just a safety net, so we think it's ok.
 - Some url shorteners and other services storing URLs break the encryption key. We will sanitize the URL as much as we can, but there is a limit to what we can do.

 * Request throttling. It would be inefficient to do it at the app level, and web servers have robust implementations for it.
 * Hash collision prevention: the ratio "probability it happens/consequence seriousness" `is not worth it`_
-* Comments: it was initially planed. But comes with a lot of issues so we chose to focus on lower handing fruits.
