I should clarify, I think they should be strictly following web standards, and by doing so, they help to force those sites not following standards to update their code, or die. I don't want my browser using extra resources, and having

I'd like to see some competition as well, but in my perspective, they're taking the wrong approach. This entire project seems to be about improving compatibility with older websites, by adding more algorithms and layers to the ren

I think the idea is average. If you search on Google, you'll likely find a code snippet for most questions. StackOverflow has the advantage of comments and opinions, which add more value, instead of just a block of code. Right now, you

Surely it would be easier to kidnap a passenger at their hotel, or to hijack their taxi, then to steal an entire airplane, take control of hundreds of passengers, make it disappear from radar, spoof the location, fly it across national bord

Keep in mind the Google CDN is blocked in countries such as China, so your web fonts are not going to render for those visitors, and if you rely on jQuery from the Google CDN, those visitors will experience a broken site. If you have a glob

I don't see anything wrong with that quote. They're simply saying it's no longer being developed, and therefore security issues could arise in the future and go unfixed. However, I still use TrueCrypt because I'm familia

When it comes to ad sizes, you'll want to run 300x250 on your site using AdSense. It has the highest stock available, so it'll generate the most bids and profit. You might want to consider randomizing the ad locations in your resu

I was looking into this a little bit more, and Amazon SES seems incredibly cost effective at $50 for 500,000 e-mails. I'll just have to write some simple code to batch e-mails through the Amazon API, which works on my end because I&#x2

Strip the project down to the basics and get a working prototype online. Don't try to develop a fully featured project by waiting until step 10 is finished before launching. Instead, spend a weekend on step 1 and launch the site, then

I remember seeing a post on HN from a user that developed one (although I think it was for the web and not mobile). It's the first thing that popped into my head, and I assume there must be similar mobile applications, but I never look

If there's a market for this, why doesn't it already exist? You could take your smartphone under your car, and video chat with a mechanic anywhere in the world. The mechanic could even draw arrows or highlight areas on your video
