Alex, I wouldn't be worried of the app harming someone so much as someone hurting themselves and their family blaming it on you or your app in a search for a cause of their loved one's suicide. Add in a lawyer who smells a case, and you cou

An idea would be to separate the history push from the loading of the resources, and only push history after an action that denotes the user has found the result they were looking for (blur of input, pressing enter, etc) to avoid a search h

If you want to keep it simple, you could just sort by length, with shorter property names first. I think that would work pretty well for most cases (border would come before border-color, etc).

I got no feedback whatsoever from taking that - it just said "thank you taking the test!" without any results. Disappointing.

Just my opinion, but I too didn't know what voxatron was until I played the video (which was great, by the way). I know what the Humble Bundle is, but I think what threw me off is that I usually hear it referred to as "the humble indie bun

I think it's due to the two sides of the argument - one is that the proposed trademark is infringing, the other is that the current trademark is being used. Defending it in court every time is a way of supporting the 2nd side of the argume

I think the hardest part would be trying to discern intent just from someone up-voting one of these honeypot articles, given the loose definition of what's considered on-topic here. You'd be stuck between being subtle and catching false-po

Anyone else immediately think of those floating orbs from half-life 2? I'm imagining the U.S. military will be developing something similar if it hasn't already - the use cases just seem too extensive. I mean, something like that could fl

Agreeing with everyone regarding the overuse of clouds, but here's a simple idea to mitigate that: incorporate those progressively larger bubbles that would appear beneath a "thought cloud" in a comic or illustration. That way there would

I was watching some police documentary show a long time ago - and it was either the FBI or the police that needed a murder suspect's DNA - they brought him in for questioning, and asked him for a sample, and he declined. They had pretty co

Did you do anything extra to see that price? Or was that simply what Amazon displayed when you went to view it?

I see Kindle price as $16.99, but that's still pretty ludicrous for a digital copy given the hardcover sale price...

You can, it wouldn't be too hard - just use the full-size image for the thumbnail and set the background-size and background-position properties to "crop" it. This would have the bonus effect of pre-loading the next image, and would let yo

for that you can right-click an app once launched and select "keep in launcher", or you can define custom ones by hand. I did that last install, haven't tried it yet for this one, but this was the guide I used: http://ubuntuforums.org/sho

I didn't realize that it converted all ampersands in the URL -- what a ridiculous oversight. What bugs me is that the browser doesn't support @font-face fonts. I don't understand the design process that led to implementing node.js as a se

I think given how Apple treats its windows software properties (iTunes, Safari, QuickTime, and the Apple Updater come to mind), even if they did make a cross-platform iCloud client, it would probably have the same "ported from mac" rather t

I completely agree with you, it's definitely easy to filter the evidence in favor of or against new technology to make a point, or to satisfy a worldview. I also agree that every new technological advancement offers the possibility to use

Somewhat of a conspiracy theory - but if the choice for developers is risk losing losing local data or back data up to the cloud unnecessarily, I think they'll choose to store it to the cloud, as they will be the ones blamed when their app

Question about the "dash" (menu that appears after clicking the top-left ubuntu logo) - for those who've tried it out - does it let you customize it now? More specifically, does it let you change the main shortcuts like "Browse the web", "
