For interest, I have now tested Chrome, Safari and Firefox on my machine (OSX), and of those the named anchor only works in Firefox. Strange.

Mildly related, and mildly humorous: After the last update to my phone I've started randomly experiencing dips in responsiveness. It might be doing GC or some other heavy tasks, but it remains in low (not zero) responsiveness for several se

I don't have a problem with relational databases. Or rather, I don't have a problem with relational data modelling. I do have a problem with Oracle. Even the Oracle experts at my former job could barely get Oracle to do something sensible

You say "Installing Linux is really easy", but in my experience installing Linux on a Mac is really involved. It could be the case that it has become easier. Would you say it has become significantly easier with newer models? There are some

From memory, I seem to remember that the x64 name originally came from Microsoft. They certainly make good use of it, at least, so Sun/Oracle isn't alone :) Just to fill in a (the?) missing piece in an otherwise well assembled puzzle ;)

In general, no, natural gas is not part of our infrastructure and people don't use it for heating. This has to do with our easy access to hydroelectric power.

With regards to privacy I always ask the converse question; Why would you not choose privacy? I don't understand which audience you are catering to through domain registration information.

I'm involved in the startup scene in Norway, and it seems to me that there are mainly two sources of real money; oil (gas/offshore/etc) and fish, considering both private and public funding. It doesn't look to me like unrelated tech startup

It's a crash bug. Bugs happen. It is not a design flaw. Sure, this specific vulnerability would not be there if the remote sync feature wasn't there, but people like features. Chrome has a pretty good security track record. I'm not worried.

No, but it is sometimes necessary for them to allocate big files and access them in a particular fashion. Or use an append-only data structure for the file and compact it now and then. Sometimes exact control is what you need. It is no use

The nail polish is opaque, which means it reflects or absorbs light that hits it. Red nail polish reflects red light and absorbs the rest. Shine white light on it, and it will look red. Ink is transparent; It lets through or absorbs light

That's amazingly thin! However, it is still thicker than a regular business card [1], and it is probably unrealistic to make the card exactly the same thickness as the thickest part on it :( [1]: Assuming 350g/m^2 paper ( http://en.wikipedi

You can shoot the bigger bubbles with the spacebar key. Not that there's any affordance for it, so something still has to be done with the game. But the title says "unfinished", so I think we're good :)

Yes, it could be a lot more obvious. In Osmos (a similar game) the coloring of the bubbles makes it much easier to distinguish which bubbles are edible and which are dangerous. I think the this rendition could be improved by getting new col

I guess maybe something like "I did a Google search for 'x y z', and it turned up the following relevant-looking results: ..."? I think anybody can get the subtext "and it wouldn't be hard for you to do the same" out of that :)

I can verify that your information is out of date. The widgets are to varying degrees actually native or drawn with OS functionality for drawing native widgets. However, this is not all it takes to escape the uncanny-valley feeling. For exa

I suspect you are reading too much into the word "identity". It is just a matter of identifying the endpoint, so the HTTP router can delegate requests from one user to the same backend instance in any given session. This, in turn, will give
