title: HTML5 File API - slicing or not?
body: <p>There are some nice examples about file uploading at <a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/" rel="noreferrer">HTML5 Rocks</a> but there are something that isn't clear enough for me.</p>
  
  <p>As far as i see, the example code about <a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/#toc-slicing-files" rel="noreferrer">file slicing</a> is getting a specific part from file then reading it. As the note says, this is helpful when we are dealing with large files.</p>
  
  <p>The example about <a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/#toc-monitoring-progress" rel="noreferrer">monitoring uploads</a> also notes this is useful when we're uploading large files.</p>
  
  <p>Am I safe without slicing the file? I meaning server-side problems, memory, etc. Chrome doesn't support <code>File.slice()</code> currently and i don't want to use a bloated jQuery plugin if possible.</p>
