Are you using any sort of in-memory fragment caching? That seems like it might reduce some render overhead.

Let's just go ahead and coin the term "lol ads".

I think the giant bright line through central Mexico into Arizona is pretty funny.

Experimenting on humans with a system backed by the use of force would be despicable. What happened to basic respect for each other? <snark> Anyway, if we want to know how a group behaves when lawbreaking goes unpunished, we need l

Of course the system worked. Chertoff's buddies have sold a shitload of body scanners the past year, haven't they?

Sigh. While interesting, arguing about the methods used to violate your basic civil rights only distracts from the real discussion about YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED BY THE VERY GOVERNMENT FORMED TO PROTECT THEM. Keep your eye on th

It's important to the train the unwashed masses to give up their lunch money to the bullies when they embezzle the entire country's capital structure and need another hit of finance-o-crack.

This reminds me an awful lot of a system presented [1] in lectures on accessibility research a couple years back that was/is an alternative gestural input method for people with motor impairments. It's cool to see similar concepts cross ov

It read to me as "government performs most tasks inefficiently, and that's ok; but let's have it perform fewer tasks inefficiently so we can perform them more efficiently ourselves and have a little less fiscal drag on our lives.

I think it's more like wearing hammer pants.

I think that formal methods do matter, and can be realistic. We have a culture problem, perhaps inherent to the ease with which programs of unknown correctness may be written and executed, that usually we just don't care. How familiar i

Well, this is as far as I could read. Despite the numbers, social democracy really does work ... Yes, numbers, those pesky axioms that just won't obey when we legislate away the laws of physics. Oh. My.

Gold is a speculative device. Humans hold the future value one might hope to trade the gold for.

Maybe because their parents' generation sold all the blue-collar jobs down the river to China, and there's nothing to do but raise your beak to momma government and hope for some worms?

"Tour" and "Pricing" links on the landing page lead to the default Rails 404 page. Consider putting some placeholder here, or something ala "[sign up for the beta], paid plans will be available soon." The tour page could just be a couple

Don't worry, it's just a setup to make VAT look good by comparison.

Er...[if you have the misfortune of being paid to work in Java] they remove a pile of type-casting cruft and make code more useful to large and/or transient teams. The author conveniently glosses over the type-casting from pre-generics Java

Uh...clue check...programmers have to write everything in crystal clear unambiguous form. So we might need to legislate in code and write a law compiler, but that can be rendered to english pretty easily through a "lawyer-verified" open s

Don't think of this as lifeguard training,but you've basically got to get them over one shoulder or under an arm, then across the torso, while using your hip and a strong kick to basically pin them against your side so they have the least p

Spot on. I'm sorry to hear about your story but it really nails the point home. I was also a lifeguard and a competitive swimmer in my youth, and realized after some time that the single best training I ever had for escaping an active dro

Yes. That's partially the point.

Heh. You say "literalist reading" is if that's a bad thing! Surely you jest. In my opinion it's the only way to read that document, and on this point we obviously disagree. I will be more clear. In my opinion, freedom of the press is in

Freedom of the press is specifically intended to protect the ability of private citizens to document the actions of government. Freedom of speech protects the ability to publish those facts. In combination these rights are intended to hol

Funny...the logo ("Spyder") on the side looks like it was ripped from the company that makes my ski jacket.

Wow. It's like a lesson in wavelet transforms for the layman. But without ever using the word 'wavelet.' Cool.

Disappointing that the gallery doesn't render in the android browser, considering the mentions of droid fonts.
