I don't understand how the anonymous blog author identified that this is feature new in "Mountain Lion" specifically, as this is a window.webkitNotifications is a javascript API introduced and adopted only by WebKit. In other words, my copy

Second. While I'm no expert, I did attend a Node.js Bootcamp this past weekend. One of the topics brought up was Coffeescript and how unwieldily it can be, especially if you mix it with straight-up Javascript, and by extension jQuery. While

Way back in 1998 Apple contributed several patches to KHTML (KDE's browser). I think in 2001 Apple forked KHTML to become WebKit. WebKit is LGPLv2.1[1] and Apple dedicates the second-most[2] number of developers to its development, second

Thanks for clarifying :) I was actually under the impression that AdSence was AdWords renamed. My issue happened in 2008 after all, I'm still suspended today. Anyway, I agree that these users were committing fraud, but why ban me? I didn't

Were you able to convince Google to un-suspend you? I used to use AdWords on my own site, and my account was frozen because of "click-fraud". A few enterprising users on an unrelated forum decided to click my ads repeatedly, to support my O

This was actually an thorough overview for JavaScript newbies. My only complaint was that the author glossed over apply() and call() saying they were 'difficult to illustrate', two functions that were new to me. Wisely, the author did link

I don't believe so, for both your statements :) First off, this took so long because Chrome was built using a "normal" devel framework (gcc, make, etc) with a few added tools (repo, gyp). The UX for Chrome is provided via OS-specific graphi

True, but, it seems some guards tend to take the role more seriously than others. Case in point, my co-workers and I would always have difficulty going through US customs (which, is located in our Canadian airport) when questioned by one s

"Traveling to a country which you are not a citizen of is not a right, it's a privilege." I agree. I worked for 8 years for a Canadian company, during that time travelled up to 4 times a year for our US clients. Often having to bring ample

See the Conservatives had to actually work to get voted in Ontario. They see being elected in Alberta as a entitlement. Other parties don't even put in any major campaign resources out here anymore: The Liberal name has been tarnished ever

Must be nice, I wish the NDPs would have a breakout here in Alberta. The MP from my riding is in power, and supports C-11 with statements like, "I'm not an Internet expert in this, but..." Any efforts of writing or contacting him on this to

It looks like the server that provides the image uses an GeoIP lookup, and only if you're in the US will it display the blackened logo. I'm in Canada, but only when I proxy through my US server do I see the sopa/google logo.

The Apache example is incomplete. For me, I used Chrome to "download the strike page" from http://sopastrike.com/strike/ and saved it on my server as /strike.html. Then, I added the following to my .htaccess: RewriteEngine on Rewrit

Honestly, it was a great learning experience and I'm glad to have been given the opportunity. After two books (the first one on Perl last year) I toyed with the idea of turning this into a career, but financial reality set in :)

Hey, I have your book! "The Pragmatic Programmers: HTML5 and CSS3" right? :) You were lucky because you consistently had the entire page width. For mine, because the book's formatting was pre-defined, the column width was variable depending

It's funny, I recently published an HTML5 book, and can say that in the book itself this problem is largely caused by the publisher and their space contraints. So much copy text and code samples get cut just to "make it fit" in pages divisi

Very cool. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only actual "HTML5" component in here is the <audio> tag, and -*-user-select from CSS3. Everything else is pre-HTML5. Yes, I know "HTML5" is used as a catch-all for anything and e
