I've thought about what would be the opposite of ice cubes, I guess this is it. Only it's kind of better since it solves two problems, some initial cooling so you can start drinking and then maintaining the temperature. A hacker's product,

You are right about the blacklist, however, it's very unlikely you will have legitimate users coming from datacenter IPs. I've used this trick to prune hundreds/thousands of bad accounts in a couple of forums. You need to be careful with it

Here's a trick not a lot of people use: 1. Whois IP address of spam accounts. 2. Identify bad blocks of IPs. If it's a datacenter, someone is probably running spamming software on a dedicated server or VPS. Maybe get your hands on some of t

It's important to not frame it as a transaction, or the person you are asking might evaluate it as such. People want to feel like they are doing something for nothing in return, just goodwill and karma. But they are more likely to help if y

I see a glaring omission here. The 13th law of power: When asking for help, appeal to people's self-interests, never to their mercy or gratitude. http://robertgreene.net/the-48-laws-of-power.html (The 40th law of power is also relevant: D

I noticed that and it was a very welcome addition. The only problem is I don't remember Flash or FF crashing before, except some rare occasion. Now I see Flash crashes somewhat often.

Someone linked to this short story in a related discussion about automation: http://www.marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm I enjoyed it thoroughly and I'd say it has the potential to make you think deeper about low-skill workers, automation and

NoScript to the rescue, it can block all kinds of embedded content, even custom fonts.

I think it takes the dominant color from each scene. You can probably do that by resizing each frame to a 1x1 px image. I'd love a script that takes a batch of movies, feeds them to ffmpeg or something and slowly makes barcodes for my movie

Same here, I remember loving the vivid imagery of that movie. I watched "The Fall" recently and this is the first one that came to mind. Highly recommended: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460791/
