   Not just bicycles, other sports equipment could be protected by such anti-theft devices (maybe even at the discretion of the owner). Are there any such tracking bugs already on the market?

   I wonder why second group stopped by, the explanation doesn't seem plausible to me... did you check the quadcopter for any signs of tampering? Anyway, nice shots!

   +1 for you - not because I agree with you, but because downvote on HN shouldn't be used to express disagreement.

   Thanks for pointing it out, it looks great... Any known downsides to this approach? (well, apart from needing a mobile platform which now serves as your access repository)

   This is a great write up and should be necessary read for every novice (and not so novice) programmer. That said, I would compose list "What makes code hard to understand?" differently: 1) improper naming of functions / v

   I wonder how difficult would it be for banks to insert some kind of optical counter-measure which would detect tampering with the slot?

    I wonder if one could somehow temporarily disable the magnetic stripe? I wouldn't dare scratch it off completely, but I would love to cover it up as a precaution.

    Let me clarify my statement: you should of course ALSO listen to them (but you should take what is said with grain of salt and try to understand the real motives; once you understand that, you can propose other - often better - solutions).

    This is so true! When trying to make a better UX you should always observe your users, not (just) listen to them.

    Thanks, but if I understand correctly, not all tabs are there and this is not their total memory usage. If this is so, then this is not what I meant. I meant a single indicator of tab memory usage in a similar way PSS is calculated [1]. Tha

    "about:memory" is probably great, but it is too detailed for someone who is not familiar with FF internal architecture. The way I see it it is mainly useful for FF developers. I like "about:addons-memory" (available if y

    Sorry if it sounded like I am complaining, the fact that I still use FF even though it cripples my VM from time to time shows that I am a fan. ;) It is a bit annoying though. > But people always ask "why is the browser using so much

    Thanks for taking your time to answer, will try to provide as much info as possible. I didn't notice any particular pages which would cause problems, but OTOH there must be a pattern to the pages I visit. I am using FireBug, Abduction,

    Just use mailcatch.com - you enter whatever@mailcatch.com as your e-mail, then check http://whatever.mailcatch.com/ to see your "inbox". Great stuff. Of course, this is only applicable if you don't care who u

    What does "not accessed" mean? One could write a script that would log in every month or so, click around (very carefully of course ;) ) and logout. How would they know the difference?

    Mods could also just change CSS a bit by adding: span.comment { display: block; width: 800px; } Of course, it should be checked on more pages, but it works here... (using FF)

    Just curious: why don't they play in shielded rooms instead? I'm quite sure they are not cheap, but they would be far more reliable. This method will work only until cheaters up their game (pun intended).

    Just a guess here - how about "driving" in an elevator? Would you brake if you didn't see the outside and feel the movement? The glasses can be dimmed on request pretty easily... My point was that self-driving cars change the

    I don't think safety is even an issue here - I think self-driving cars will be MUCH safer by default, so this kind of safety precautions (turning the front seats) will probably not be needed. I am thinking more in terms of travelling c
