Google isn't strict enough for programming queries anymore, for example this query yields no results: "hello-world" -"hello world" It ignores the dash even though I'm using quotes.

Cool, only a couple of dots around Geelong, Australia. One of them must be me.

I've noticed this on Reddit. When you submit a comment it's inserted into the page with a bit of JavaScript but when you refresh the page it's gone. Refresh the page again after a few seconds and it's there.

Could you overlay an image and auto-play the video on click?

If you do free work for a company that hasn't been formed yet you should be part of the startup and share the wealth/risks. Only getting compensated for your work if (and only if) they ever become successful is completely unreasonable.

My Vim is highly customized so it won't be of much use to anyone else. It would be really cool if we could submit our own themes but it's probably be easier to write a plugin that opens web pages directly in Vim. Screenshot: http://i.imgur

Some Linux (Vim) themes would be helpful. I somehow doubt my boss would fall for the Visual Studio one. :)

My best attempt (jQuery): $.getJSON('http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=ElbertF&callback=?',function(json){alert(json[0].text)}) The long API URL alone makes it pretty much impossible to make somet

This has happened to me a few times and usually the Twitter/social media storm blows over fairly quickly. I suggest getting an extra Linode for now and wait a few days to see what happens. If the numbers do stay up the site will probably be

They could create a database with hashes of these passwords and compare them with the recently leaked Gawker hashes. Not all of those passwords have been cracked yet, especially the more complex ones.

Why would "(^%$@^$%" take a minute to crack and "aaaaaaaa" 5 hours? Anyway, nice try but I don't think I'll be giving you any of my actual passwords.

I've heard this as well so I whipped up a quick Ruby script that hashes a numbers of strings over and over, let it run for a few days on a quad-core machine and found zero collisions. I tested MD5 and SHA-1. It may weaken the hash a bit but

We know you're successful, we can see that and you don't really need to reiterate it. I do appreciate the tips you share but I'd enjoy them a lot more if I didn't feel you were advertising yourself. I understand why you do it though, you're

X is lame but Y is great because I did it. Jason seems to feel the need to constantly compliment himself and plug at least one of his domains/projects in every section, very annoying. I can't say I learned much from this e-mail either, ba

I'm looking forward to "5 Better Ways to Read Mashable." They have more Twitter buttons above the fold than paragraphs with content.

I can access Wikileaks from Australia just fine, I guess the ban has been lifted since March '09 (the date of this article)?
