You are aware that ALL Javascript is open source, aren't you? If you trust native code simply because it's open source, why don't you trust browser-interpreted code?

No borders, so yes, they would necessarily overlap physically. In more sparsely populated areas, of course, you'd likely find most people (and thus, their private property) falling under only a handful of different jurisdictions, and so mos

As a self-described anarcho-capitalist, I have to say that most such theories of privately-owned and -operated courts and police that I see thrown about on the internet are terrible, extraordinarily simplistic systems that just make us all

Anyone else notice an annoying horizontal scrollbar (at 1024x768) due to the unnecessary 10px body padding? To me, that simple detail alone belies the second statement of his copy.

A quick and dirty workaround for fellow netbook users -- enter this into the URL bar (too lazy/disinterested to bother with a greasemonkey script just now). javascript:var e=document.getElementById("siteHeader");e.parentNode.removeChild(e);

Ah, my mistake, then. With all the recent hubbub and debate, it was not immediately clear that this wasn't simply a sarcastic and elaborate jab.

Part of me is strangely disappointed by this. A profoundly unrealistic tax law that, even if it were feasible, most people wouldn't have even tried to obey, anyway? It would have only served to underscore just how out of touch the political

(I.A.NOT.A.Dietician/Nutritionalist, so more lay/anecdotal/armchair discussion follows) I've had the same problems in trying to sort out truth and nonsense, so I just try to maintain an elementary understanding of the basic components of ou

Cool. Slightly off-topic, re: John Conway -- Some tangential wiki-ing led me to (what I think is) the even more interesting Look-and-say sequence & Conway's cosmological theorem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-and-say_sequence I'm

Problems common to most of us, I think, though I can't say I've ever framed them as a matter of adulthood so much as a matter of motivation. Having something to look forward to, something that feels like a net gain to one's subconscious cos

Hm. I am certainly no economist, but I'm still not 100% sure that I have any logical reason to agree that "it should prove good for the EU" for the EU+IMF to "bailout the problem states", or even that "it was in America's best interest to b

Excellent comment, one of the most informative so far ITT. I realize that this borders on fortune-telling, but you seem to have a decent grasp on the situation, and you say RE: bailing out Greece that "it really is damned if you do, damned

The whole net neutrality debate scares the shit out of me. One the one hand, we have ISPs, all with near-strangleholds in their area, making decisions that the market can't effectively retaliate against (high barriers to entry and whathavey

"We ... are free to do business anywhere" Well, for now . If there are people who use the economy as a basis to keep immigrants from flooding in, just imagine the reaction if citizens start flooding out.

Clever idea, though I'd recommend allowing multiple choice searches, and perhaps including in this post a zip code known to have existing users, just for example purposes -- if we can't get any results for given search criteria, the effort

Well, I think that's a step backwards, but at least that would mean you were willing to admit that what we're doing right now isn't working any more. [immediate edit:] Most of us have too much knee-jerk nationalistic pride to think about ch

"Congress wants to do these things, and the tax code is the easiest way to do them. Congress will STILL want to do these things even if you do fair tax." Sounds to me like Congress is the problem.

On the cnn.com frontpage, they used to append " | Watch it now!" to the end of headlines for any articles with video. I would read CNN daily just for the hilarious mashups. E.g., "Arizona family of four slaughtered by Havalinas | Watch it n
