I gladly take the hit that FireBug causes, same reason. The slightly longer startup time doesn't bother me (yet). Also, I can't stand webbrowsing on an installation which doesn't have some form of adblocking. What a difference! I find ads

It was a prototype I made for a prospective client. I sometimes use Dutch comments (and variable names) in such a case. Btw, 'Tekstanalyse' is also a Dutch word.

Where does the USA gets its oil from? "More than a third of our petroleum, about 37% of our total usage, is produced domestically by our own oil companies. I'm not sure why people seem to forget about those guys, ExxonMobil and Chevron and

The asymmetry of the situation strikes me. Where a company which decides not to hire someone can only say "we're not following through with your application at this moment" out of fear of litigation, the candidate can freely comment on his
