I thought Chrome kept [compiled] common js locally? I could be wrong. But it would seem explain some of the difference.

I wonder whether police prefer this approach to accountability, or the Black Panthers approach?

Well I was going to write something reminiscent to 'bird words' but while refreshing my memory of The First Circle , Google was completely washed out with links to "the bird is the word". wtf.

heh...your description of the emo mac dude gave me a laugh, thanks. I'm curious how the same individual might value a subscription to "trendy $100 jeans...as a service", both in utility and price? I think it's been tried with luxury handba

Speaking of the Constitution, the paragraph just after that which you've cited from Article VI is interesting: "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which s

Why the feeds are unencrypted is irrelevant, as are all the statements about how easy or hard it should have been to "do it right." The only relevant issue is "what effect does the compromise have on the usefulness of the intelligence gat

You're right. If someone is born with longer-than-average legs, they should be cut short and the excess given to someone born with shorter-than-average legs. That way, they will both have an equally horrible likelihood of becoming basketba

Consider for a moment who writes the loopholes into laws. What a legislator might label a "bad" loophole is one exploited by a business or industry for whom the loophole was not originally, and intentionally, written.

Acting like a child and expecting the adults in the room to protect you only encourages those who believe you shouldn't live freely (whether it is your local politician or a religious radical).

You can learn the ins and outs of network programming in pretty much any language. When you find yourself needing the level of control or speed which C offers, or compatibility with some platform, then go there.

There is probably a lively discussion or possibly a flamewar to be had on your topic. Unfortunately, it is totally unrelated to the topic of this thread. If you want to talk about this other thing, why not post it on a blog and submit to

Some might see your analogy as backwards, especially if they view individual freedom as having natural bounds which are easily identifiable to mentally stable humans. I have a feeling that's why you were voted down (not by me, sorry). An

I prefer both, but it depends on where I am. I prefer one-off shops or Tully's normally; but I have to say that Starbucks provides a slightly classier version of McDonald's reliability overseas. While traveling, I could easily find a Star

Friend, what you need is a compiled imperative language with verbose type declarations. Java comes to mind. Rails works by following conventions that feed metaprogramming and method_missing magic, and the kind of safety net which the autho
