I've been feeling down in the dumps all day, depressed about life in general, and I've just discovered thanks to you that watching videos of Richard Feynmann cheer me up. Thank you.

I never much liked his brand of hyperbole. Maybe he'll tone it down now on his next gig. I doubt he's going to go hungry.

Have you noticed sites that scrape google groups content ranking higher than the google group they've scraped? How can that possibly happen? Still seems rampant.

Would be nice to see some dates on the list so we can see how long the modules have been around or when they were last updated. Otherwise pretty awesome to see Cappuccino is still alive. 280North's website seems dead.

jQuery is not good for individuals who want to start out with JavaScript. I recommend people who want to work in the world of JavaScript to know JavaScript, read The Good Parts, read the Rhino Book, etc. Once you've got it down then use jQu

Could be just because I learned it first. It makes a lot of sense in its implementation, ease of use and seems to at least give me the impression of more control.

I don't understand why the government should create regulation to tell private companies what to do with their property in this case. I think a lot of the 'net neutrality' hubbub is irrational driven panic. If you don't like the service the

I love being an engineer. You have a chip on your shoulder. I recommend not using Facebook at all given your concerns. I do not maintain a Facebook account myself for anything but development.

I really am liking Redis, and they've expanded beyond just snapshots for persistent storage. You can now append data, and there a different options for both when you snapshot or append (a time, for each set, etc).

They used to provide this option but it actually made the API harder to work with. You could deny or approve one permission at a time and the developer had to handle it (and by handling that really meant always checking for permissions befo

Interesting, but annoying that it's not on GitHub or Google Projects where I can watch it. GitHub is slowly becoming the preferred way to track interesting projects. If it's just some site out there, I may forget about it.

The .do files are not even remotely readable. Try scons. At least you can understand what it's doing even if you know little about it with just a glance. None of this a.c.c.c.c,$1 gibberish.
