The formatting ate your *'s but I understand. That's definitely the better way to reason the problem. In my defense it was late (after a trip to the bar) and my code is basically stream of consciousness.

That was a great talk. It seemed like maybe you were a little unprepared for the questions at the end. Have you found someone (or more) who gave up their Israeli citizenship between the leak dates to test the questioners hypothesis? And th

Or there's the Wexner center which is the type of place that shows 'Satantango' (450 min. runtime) and often has double features for $7 (and less for students/members). I now regret having missed even a single film while I was nearby.

Big maps look really good. I remember the first time I used the 'hide panel' button in Google Maps, I literally voiced 'ohhh'. I'm not a fan of the modal dialogs on the linked site (nor the cufon - for whatever reason I can only see a handf

This is actually a wider problem than just scroll-zoom. Using JS to hook scrolling to anything is a UX nightmare. The problem is that on my desktop I can discretely scroll one step at a time with my mouse but on a laptop using a trackpad a

Netflix uses a variety of CDNs (Content Delivery Network). I think Level 3 is currently their primary provider and they used to use Akamai. I'd say there's a fat chance of seeing Comcast benevolently caching Netflix traffic.
