Sometimes look-the-other-way loopholes stick around if they suit both sides. For example, brown-paper-bagging a bottle of beer with your buddies on the corner of your block, not causing trouble, then the cops have, though reasonable suspici

Oh please Google, I know you're listening: Transcode the cached images into WebP for Chrome and compatible mobile apps. Seems like a very, very good opportunity to evangelize the format and push it another notch toward ubiquity (while

Far from ideal, and not exactly what you requested, but instructions to play videos from your phone appear to be here (involves rooting the Chromecast, and having a rootable Chromecast...): http://youtu.be/NTcyBwT2EIU

You'd think Google, or any of the companies, would host such a thing themselves, rather than sub it out to Godaddy, using a PTR of the domain name relevant to the site -- and, especially in the spirit of things, a properly-configured S

Yes, involuntary commitment, at least a post-72 hour commitment imposed by a judge, should be a dealbreaker. Having filled a Klonopin prescription no, but having filled a lithium prescription yes. Unipolar depression isn't quite the so

I was writing more in response to whether or not "profiling the mentally ill" is a shameful thing or a good idea for society in general, not this woman trying to cross the border. Hers is a soft anecdote to use as context for an i

Allowed to own a gun? Absolutely, positively not. Even if I were to assume a staunchly right wing position for myself for the sake of answering your question, no way should I be allowed to possess firearms. I don't have to decide to go

While I am sympathetic to the woman in the article, consider this: I am bipolar type one (the wilder type), ultra rapid cyclicity with psychotic features. I have had countless manic episodes complete with week-long total sleeplessness, hall

Can you get the debugging screencast to cast from your computer to your Chromecast?

moot, given that your site seems like an ideal candidate for WebP, why not use it with pagespeed (and/or let users opt to use the format when posting)?

No article link on me, but my guess the cause is that there, with bitcoin having doubled a few times in a few weeks to new highs, are more people who feel it's overbought and want to cash out / lock in enormous gains that could br

1295 stolen, sounds like a lot - does that figure count as actual bitcoin transactions?

The article postulates an effective outcry, akin to that of the github incident which resulted in success, were that to happen. Perhaps it is you who is shortsighted?

A bold move such as this would, whether it worked or not, at least restore Google's credibility as an avoider of evil, the Google twinkle many of you think has fizzled.

On one hand I can see how this looks bad (along with all the other revelations), but you've got to admit, for the taxes we've been paying, it's impressive how, albeit arguably misguided, talented and prolific our intelligence

thanks for articulating the rational side of this (I had a long day). As for the claustrophobic, these exits (which might save money) would serve as a good warning to them that they should reconsider flying altogether if they can't han

so.. you think much less liquidity and turnover in a currency will help solidify its value (and keep the bid/ask spread tight)?

pagespeed is impressively helpful, great news when nginx support was announced (a tipping point for me), just wish I knew going in that I had to compile for SPDY instead of using apt

Sounds great, just as long as Mozilla doesn't jump the gun and brazingly decide to implement WebP support before having waited at least five or six years. Due diligence baby, the name of the game, also etiquette, over at bugzilla.

Speaking of size comparisons, how many bytes does this mother weigh in as a WebP?
