I love this thing. I enjoy guessing colors in my CSS anyways, so this is a natural <strike>addition</strike> addiction. Suggestions: - Add a timer - Add total scoring - Allow "new game" to happen without a new request - Make

I've heard about the freezer trick before, not really sure if I want to risk further damage, though. I think I'm going with ontrack. They seem to have a good reputation.

Great point. I think I, myself am guilty of mentioning some #fail in my twitter feed which was probably better served as a bug report. But when you write something in your twitter feed then it's usually not something you want to follow thro

You're right. I do that for all my most of my other projects, it's a long story why it ended up like this. Thanks for the live CD tip, but the drive doesn't even show up when I plug it in via USB, so it's a bit worse than that.

I have to say that that is awesome uptime overall. Considering the amount of blogs and sites running on WP.com TC should switch to some other hosting.. then they would experince downtime... If I had uptime like that, I would be praising t

It even works for Iceland. That's neat. That's not the default with these kinds of services. However, it doesn't work for India.. which kind of sucks, but I hope that will be improved over time. It would be nice to know which reservation se

Redis is great, maybe memcached would serve better for this pupose as some of the comments have mentioned. I just want to point out one thing about his multiple count queries per page. You can also do a grouped count query in a single query

It seemed like Jessica's video was fine. It must have been Alexis' connection. Or network routing between the two of them. Maybe he was just downloading stuff and forgot to turn that off...

This problem seems to only affect Windows machines. On Macs and Ubuntu machines the fonts look fine: http://grab.by/4tF8 This problem is also only apparent on smaller text sizes. As soon as the font gets bigger, as for headings, the fonts

yes that's a point, but if the font is well made (like the example font from font squirrel) the font looks much better. Even though it's fine on your computer, it's not fine at all on windows machines

That's a good point. I'm using Win XP and the font gets rendered the same way on both Chrome 5 and FF 3.6.3 I can't see how you're going to blame this whole issue on Windows, when other fonts in the same operating system get rendered much b

Actually, it's not rendered smoothly at all - when you take a look at the smallest size on google's site, this is what you see: http://twitpic.com/1pd6id edit : This seems to only be an issue with the way Windows renders fonts. The fon

Actually, that wasn't a carefully selected size. I tried a few fonts in a few sizes, but all of the ones I tried looked like that in smaller sizes. They look fine for headings and such, but not when used for readable text.

It sounds like they're doing it simply because they have a lot of break ins. How is a new operating system supposed to ensure better passwords? 99% of break ins are because of really lame passwords, isn't that true? Creating your own OS is

Actually, I'm 90% certain that this is almost a "joke". I can smell the irony off of this post. The idea actually seems good, but the billing $1 for a picture seems very out of character for Zed. Personally, I like the idea.

I think you're right. Another big factor is also the automatic updates of Chrome and Firefox. IE updates have to go through the windows updates and people tend to ignore those as much as possible. Another factor about IE6 is that it's only

It worked pretty much most of the time in Chrome for me. There were a couple of demos that didn't work. But this thing looks really nice. I love the website design, as well.
