   Thanks for the insights. 1) And yeah I mean full width fluid layouts w/ no scrollers. > The key is to test it on slow machines and connections, and optimize for that delay. That's harder. My current machines are a Westmere MP and an i7

   > Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Firefox already alert you on startup of newly installed Plugins? Eh sorry I don't know the answer, been a Safari/Chrome user for a while. From an end user POV, I think it would be okay to have both

   Why couldn't they store a hash of the plugins of a given profile on the server, and check that at startup? It wouldn't be much different than their already existing malware checks.

   lol. Yeah if they would add a single extra step to the install process and Firefox would protect itself a little better, that all sounds reasonable. ;)

   > If you install iTunes, it shouldn't go around installing other software. So iTunes shouldn't install software that makes listening to and buying music easier? I kind of agree that installing plugins without warning is a problem, but

    Looks great, but do you have any agreements in place to keep your site up where others have been shutdown?

    Interesting, but even if your goal lies elsewhere, why else would you choose to hijack a plane if it wasn't to at least present the appearance of some fatal outcome? And that's ignoring the very real secondary dangers to passengers that can

    Two questions I've been struggling a bit with lately... 1) Are widescreen layouts acceptable yet? 2) As long as the UI stays snappy, how much CPU usage is it okay to use?

    I'm sorry but he said to "backport it to 1.6" which would mean taking code from a more advanced version and making it work on an older codebase. This would involve updates to the 1.6 release or forking, which is what the other two "lol" com

    And for most, those hours were passed on to clients, so there's probably some meta-comment about impact to the economy that IE has had.

    the definition of open: "mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make" That should handle it.

    I wasn't addressing the problem of banning Tumblr users, but correcting the often mistaken and repeated claim that 4chan is an anonymous forum. But seriously, if the mood stays "for real" it's not going to be hard to shutdown and ban tumblr

    You're not anonymous to admins, only to users. Every post is still associated with a big fat naked IP address and it's a single click to ban a user of a specific post.

    My biggest gripe with TM 1.5 is how Find in Project still beachballs on a new 3.33 6-core Westmere RAID 10 setup. Even after hearing everyone else's problems with FiP, I thought it might have been the slow HD in my last iMac. It's not. ;)

    It must suck so much to go back and work on old code after years of working on new code (TM v2).

    I'm familiar with the MIT license, but thanks. So if the copyrights to new code aren't important, why would Joyent seek to change that and want to "own" the code now?

    Yes. And it looks like the way things stand today, they have the exclusive right under the CLA to re-license all that code under any other license as they see fit.
