Does anyone have experience with Visual Website Optimizer and its influence on loading time and user experience? With all these Javascript A/B testing services, I'm worried about content flashes and long loading times. E.g. for the JS redir

Two ideas: 1. put it on github, so people can continue developing it easily, under a free license, during your finals :) 2. Especially in back-and-forth comment threads, it would be useful to know who is replying to whom, or to be more exac

I'd love to see this as a small app, but couldn't find anything with a quick googling. Does anyone know of a small app to help with this (on OS X or the web) and help save trees?

In theory you can use a sample contract and found without a notary, in practice I have never seen it done and people I know used to recommend against it, but I haven't checked in a while.

I agree, even though Scribd works pretty well in Chromium. In Firefox, it used to crash the browser all the time. I wish people would just use Google Docs as a PDF viewer on the web. Just prepend https://docs.google.com/viewer?url= to any

"In Germany, for example, company founders are held personally liable for unpaid debt for up to 30 years—even after they declare bankruptcy." As far as I know, this is not true and hasn't been true in many years (since 1999). You can declar

They do, of course. There's the GmbH ("Corporation with limited liability"), which is pretty much exactly like a LLC. Recently, they also added the UG ("Unternehmergesellschaft") which is the same thing save for less statutory base capital.

As a nitpick, the Apple Remote has seven buttons: Four direction buttons, center button, Menu button, and play/pause. This does not really detract from the central point of the argument, but then I believe the argument is flawed since the r

It looks neat, but it doesn't seem to work - I joined a room, invited a coworker, and we couldn't see each others messages. Upon reload, the old messages showed up, but e.g. picture previews didn't. Is this a load problem?

Try using http://code.google.com/p/jquery-debounce/ - it creates a throttle/debounce function for you, so the submit would only be called at most every X ms, no matter how often the event fires. It's super useful.

Friends of a friend created this for Rails Rumble. I like it because I like design, typography and web fonts, and this makes it a lot easier to get a matching set of fonts. Including links to download the fonts, and the appropriate CSS, pre
