I didn't read the comments first, spent about ten minutes on it. From a cursory glance, I think it comes down to the following lines: In modal.register.js:100, 128, 337 $("#veriImg").attr("src", "/present/captchaImage.action?t=" + new Date

It never says that the last car in this incident was a Prius, just that "In a separate incident during the storm, three Toyota Prius hybrids at Port Newark also were damaged by fire"

"raising the question of whether this latest incident is a sign of design flaws, of possible risks associated with plug-in vehicles generally or simply a result of the abuses wrought by extremely rare weather conditions" That's lousy journa

I was watching some video the other day where Jon Stewart made a random appearance. All the people around him had their phones out taking pictures of him instead of actually experiencing him being there. It was like proving to other peopl

The first time I tried it, nothing happened. I clicked on the globe because I thought maybe you had to drag it, and couldn't un-drag so it kept jiggling around without doing anything. No red dots came up. I glanced at the comments to see

The line at the top of the page, for me, says "Undefined". Firefox 10.0.7, Windows 7. I debugged it for you - the outerHTML property isn't supported in Firefox < 11. Here's the solution from StackOverflow: function outerHTML(node){ r

I'm in the middle of the machine learning coursera course, and registered for this one as well due to interest in the material. My one complaint is that the programming assignments weren't interesting at all. The results were interesting,

I didn't know it had a point at all besides surviving for as long as possible. I made my little 4 pixel bubble survive for almost ten minutes purely out of curiosity, to see just how massive this one bubble would get. Then I accidentally

This is from 2004, but I thought it was interesting and relevant in today's world of ninjas, rockstars, cowboy coders, and interviewers who think a good programmer has the memory of Von Neumann.
