that was 2 years, 1 week, 1 day, 9 hours and 3 minutes ago. Doesn't this site have the word "News" in its name?

Seems a little to expensive to squash and there is some competition to take mints place. So IMHO thats not likely. It might happen by "accident", thought.

I prefer the nginx config style over apache2. Why the hell would anyone need a turing complete configuration file syntax?

maybe your browser is prefetching the result url?

I read about this several times and I think this whole button experiment is somehow screwed. The measure some brainwaves and draw such a fundamental conclusion without really understanding what they measure. Maybe we are just making our dec

I hope you don't run into trouble with these guys: http://www.maplesoft.com/Products/Maple/ Remember to always do some research on your chosen name before you actually name the product.

Another fix would be if the exact ending time would not be published. Just something like "This auctions ends in the next 20 minutes".

Yes it's most likely from a plane or helicopter. Most of the highest resolution stuff in google maps/earth is (the big cities, etc). And no, it won't scale.

Ok you're right. Firefox on the other hand seems to be kind of a douche, calling itself awesome.

awesome? you're easily impressed, are you? :)

I know but I would have to do it after every login at gmail. Firefox should just not include substrings.

the urls could be much shorter if you used a-z and A-Z and not just hex (a-f). But it saves some lines of code.

firefox 3's location bar is a mess, not just because of this issue. It will suggest me a gmail authentication string for almost all of my inputs. There are lots of ways to do this better. I like chromes way of doing it, but it has some priv

That concept is somewhere in my personal idea list. Now I can cross it out. Well done :)

I think the whole field of AI research lost credibility back when ANNs couldn't do XOR and therefore where not turing-complete. That is now solved and AI research is slowly gaining momentum again. Also I think Kurzweil (and others like him)

it's a nice article, but nothing new. lots of bookmarklets work this way (p.e. the official posterous bookmarklet).

to be fair, the article says "the future of application development" and doesn't mention startups at all. If it is really the future of application development or just riding the hype is another question.

I think it could work a bit like 99designs. Someone posts a request for an expert on something ("I like to get advice on climbing the everest and offer 100 dollars for it") and different experts "bid" on that offer by posting their cv or so

I guess one could game this approach by spamming twitter. So it's possibly not very safe.

I haven't tried fabricate yet, but I think the number of build-tools out there is a sure sign that something fundamental is broken.

I first read that as 'Beer profits fall 92%' and was slightly worried. (I know you're picky about houmorous comments here, but please don't vote me down to -8)

Maybe one could make that a user setting so that everybody who likes it that way could switch points off. I think I could be more objective when I wouldn't see the exact points but just the relative order of stories and comments. Another in

The first example in the article would push me away, but for a different reason: Every site that uses Stockphotography so ovious and in such a huge format is most likely scam of some sort. It's like the blinking banners of old times.
