I can pinpoint one part of what it is for me. There is indeed a certain reverence, a certain dignity for those who are dying, bless his soul. However, I always have to remind myself that those who approach death's door are not magically w

I read something recently by a blind guy who said that sometimes he perceived some amount of light in his dreams. This was because his blindness is not complete blindness. There are varying degrees of it. In his case, he could detect som

Yes... I object to password strength meters that do not accurately gauge a password's strength but prevent you from entering the password of your choice. For example, isn't "I agree, and I really hate it when sites require specific formats

I found this a very interesting read (look for responses by "pocketed" for one pickpocketer's viewpoint and strategies): http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/bxy7x/per_request_iama... My biggest takeaway: People do not pay attention. I

Correct me if I am wrong, but somewhere I read that a while back, Lisp implementations caught up to and surpassed Fortran implementations in terms of math speed... suggesting that Fortran's main strength was finally outdone.

Every time this phrase comes up, we need the context again, which conveys a different picture from the tiny and not-so-useful piece taken from it (and which the author successfully adhered to -- kudos!): "There is no doubt that the grail of

Whoa, you jumped to some extremes, and I would be hard-pressed to agree they are analogous. You reshaped your situation to suggest that you did indeed have no way to plan better, that somebody's action was directly responsible; logically,

Now I have a choice. I can get bent out of shape over your highly disrespectful statement (you could have expressed that in a much more civilized manner), I can try to elaborate, or I can ignore you and move on with my day.

I agree with you. However, our opinions on efficient traffic flow are irrelevant for two reasons. First, the only rule of the road generally recognized, followed or not, is the letter of the law. What some random Internet guy thinks shoul

Have you considered that the anger is not "their actions are causing measurable negative consequence to me" but "their actions are outside my control"? They did something that was not a part of our perfect little plan, and it simply irks us

I will be using "you" to mean people that rage in general, not specifically you because I do not know how you react. :) First, you bring up a different subject: Are we talking about freeway signs or sidewalks? I was going with the sidewalk

"If everyone were perfectly courteous" = "If everyone lived by the same rules I live by" = "If everyone had the same notion of respect as I" It is difficult for people to agree, not only across cultures but within the same culture, with wha

This is a case of one group of self-absorbed people intersecting with another group of self-absorbed people. As the article points out, the ragers make up their own perceived rules, and so do the slow people. "I have the right to be here.

Here is a community idea, not just for jQuery plugins but also CPAN, curse.com, and other code/add-on/plugin communities. (1) Plugins must be submitted with a list of tags/categories indicating their purpose. For example, a plugin for uplo

Firebug reports this error: "missing } after function body" jquery_menu (line 1): ("li").addClass("selected").parent().p...).addClass("selected"); }); }); My FF is in Windows at the moment; it would be weird if that was the real difference.

The irony for me is that the author's demo worked for me, and yours did not. I used Firefox 3.6 for the test, and I instructed NoScript to let your demo work (but not allow anything on the author's site).

What you said is true; however, there is a huge market of people who will grasp at any opportunity that will allow them to stay within their comfort zones. Sometimes just the small chance that something could happen is sufficient. For exam

And if you send that data from JS to the server, you cannot rely on the theory that JS massaged that data first.

It is like saying my MUD is a web app. A MUD is a service accessible with a telnet client and usually accessed by special "MUD clients" as opposed to plain telnet; these clients parse, record, and manipulate MUD data. How loose is this def
