Usually no music at all. I work best when it's quiet and peaceful, that's why I love getting up at 6am. When I need a bit of noise I usually hit SomaFM. They have lots of great stations for coding, I recommend Mission Control, Drone Zone or

If you mean my personal blog, Chrome is at ~15%, less than IE. It's only been up for 2 months though, so I wouldn't put much trust in my stats. I think it's bogus because global Chrome usage is around 10%, according to the sources I linked

by bobds 16y ago
Do you think Chrome usage at 40% is not bogus? I agree that your own stats are the best source, but not when you've only been public for less than a month and half your audience is coming from the likes of HN and Techcrunch.

There must be some cheaper accountants in Cyprus. It sucks getting bad advice from your accountant or lawyer, it's a good idea to at least give a quick read to the relevant legislation yourself. Especially the double-taxation treaties that

That's not a bad idea. I was hoping that xer0x, being a friend of Saeed, could point us in the right direction. Perhaps his family could use some donations to hire lawyers, experts or whatever else is needed.

This is the first I hear about this story, words escape me really. I can't imagine where Saeed finds the strength to keep going after two years of torture. Can we do something more meaningful/effective than sending e-letters?

A pre-emptive opt-out could work, but how exactly would you implement it? Do I have to give you all my email addresses that I want to opt-out with? Do I have to get an "optout" cookie so that the server with the tracking pixels and whatnot
