I don't understand how you can consider being self-employed and supporting yourself, your family, and two employes for 9 years a failure. If anything I think working for 'the man' for 9 years and having no sense of ownership is more of a f

But is putting finger-sized icons on a mobile device something that Apple "invented"? It's not exactly a new technology or concept, it's simply obvious. I recall owning an iPaq that did the same thing years before the iPhone was released.

Versioning is only done on files that have changed, and a key file wouldn't change very often.

This is disheartening. I would much rather see Ryan do more productive and interesting things than cater to Windows users.

Oops I was mistaken, there is now a fullscreen menu item in the tools section. Anyways they are certainly making some good improvements.

Not on my system, I just updated to the latest Hexxeh release and F11 doesn't go fullscreen and there is no menu option either. But I was mistaken, flash can go fullscreen.

After my attempt at compiling ChromeOS ended in failure I installed a Hexxeh vanilla release on a 2yr old Intel Atom based PC. And I have to admit, I liked it, a lot more than I thought I would. Here are some of my thoughts: - It irks me

You're right maybe it can't be done universally. But you could add an optimizer to a production build system which rewrites any instance of: window.Library.util.add() To: var window_Library_util_add = window.Library.util.add;

As ehynds (above) pointed out, the example could have been drastically simplified down to: window.Library = {}; window.Library.util = {}; window.Library.util.add = function(a, b) { return a + b; }; var add = window.Library.u

Has a bureau of the US federal government just claimed ultimate authority over the internet's domain name system? If this is the case, then obviously we have a very serious problem on our hands. This threatens the way the internet works at

I wonder why Google is doing it like this. Sending an audio file of your voice over the wire seems like unnecessary overhead. From an API perspective I'd much rather have client-side speech-to-text built into the browser (accessible via a

When I heard that Eric Schmidt was stepping down I couldn't help but be reminded of the "free ice cream" video from a few months earlier ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbg8IOfdbA0 ). I wonder if that video hit a nerve. It should have, b

Levying taxes on emissions any other way would be a nightmare to implement fairly, be very inefficient, and would be ripe for abuse and fraud. The whole carbon credit system is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Given that datacenters are powered by electricity, the amount of CO2 would depend on how the electricity was produced. Since the utility company providing the electricity is responsible for how it is produced any CO2 taxes should be paid by
