Well said. History is full of pioneers who wanted adventure and were willing to sacrifice health or longevity for it. From my perspective, how could anyone not want to sign up? I am extremely happy where I am now, but the thought of setti

I don't know exactly what you are trying to do, but all Tweets will be archived anyway. (Source: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2010-04-14-library-congres... ) I think a visual collage of the revolution on social media would be very int

The page takes too long to load. It is blank for a very long time. Then everything suddenly appears on the screen at once. If you can't fix the load time, at least add a better loading indicator so that people don't close the window.

Yes, I used QtJambi for a large project in the past. (I was including Java when I said that I prefer Qt for high-level languages.) QtJambi is great, but I do not know if I would use it for a new project. Since Qt 4.5, QtJambi is no longer s

Furthermore, in my opinion, leaving autorun enabled for CD/DVDs was the right decision. Most people don't use CDs for transferring files anymore. Viruses wont be able to get much traction by spreading over CD/DVDs, because barely anyone ins

Even though it will be more difficult for worms to spread over USB, this does NOT mean USB keys are no longer an attack vector. For attacks targeted at specific computers, you can bypass the new restrictions with Teensy and similar devices.
