   Well, tree-style tabs allows them to be nested that way. It's my favorite extension.

   I can easily see parents requiring their teenagers to use this software and pay $3.99 a month. They already pay hundreds of dollars a year for things like this: http://www.flexispy.com/spyphone-flexispy-apple-iphone.htm

   Conveniently, it does save characters on the website at entry time as their site only checks by character count. Also their backend via website doesn't validate by bytes either. Their API has fluctuated from checking bytes and characters ov

   Note that silly services like ours ( http://tinyarro.ws ) further compress the character length by using unicode after the / so the URLs never grow beyond 3 characters (and can do 2 characters for a very long time).

   This is actually what I've always wanted in a browser. An intuitive way to do Back/Forward that handles multiple branches. :( I'm really surprised someone hasn't done something good with this in a major browser.

   It is actually a kind of interesting stack-based grammar. Silly keywords aside I kind of liked learning about how it works and adding new keywords to it. The fun part is picking really good variable names that make it even more obfuscated t

   My point is exactly yours, but with added testing: * Do the Right Engineering(TM) to guarantee no XSS * Followed by having someone else confirm your certainty. If you only do the first step, I'm nearly certain your site will eventu

    For the slightly-more-expert take, you might like a site like this (seems like 99 designs but for usability reviews): http://usabilitytest.com/ Also I saw this service advertised before: http://www.usabilityfeedback.com/ I've never used

    Used it before and got great feedback. Highly recommended, but I think when we did it initially it was slightly cheaper. Still very much a bargain.

    Just a public service announcement-- for those of you looking to validate your own site for XSS exploits, you'll find that this list is particularly good at giving you "problem" strings to test against: http://ha.ckers.org/xss.html We hon

    We support lots of different short URLs for lots of different domains, the arrow is just one of the fun ones. ( See http://tinyarro.ws ) The people who sign up for personalized domains can use whatever domain they want and we'll help them

    This is also the the service we offer with TinyArrows: http://➡.ws/info/custom/ For statistics, we provide info down to the IP address and user agent that clicked on the link.

    Yes, and be happy to do so. It would improve the quality of the content here.

    Yes, and be happy to do so. I don't think the quality would change much, though.

    Yes, but I don't really want a membership fee for the site.

    by thorax 17y ago

    No, but I think it would help improve the overall quality of content.

    by thorax 17y ago

    No, and I don't think it would help content enough (or might even hurt it).

    No, and I'll describe my reasoning in a comment below.

    While I found the book boring, I do like to read explorations of a world where the "obvious" (to us!) technologies grow and see what aspects of society change. In essence, that's really what any Sci-Fi book must accomplish especially if the

    I had no idea what your comment meant and when they weren't quotes from the people you mentioned, I had no idea what your point was. Just a sentence like "Here are their various positions" (or anything more) at the top of your comment would

    Just imagine if real estate videos were made with this (with smaller cameras) for looking around a property. The walkthrough video would be impressive.

    For me, it's: if score < 2 option 1 else option 3 Note that I don't want to penalize them for being wrong -- we've all been there (and sometimes when we think they're wrong, really we are). It's better to let them lie

    It all changes again in 1.5. (sigh) It's like a game where every time I upgrade Firebug on a machine I have to relearn the entire UI. I have no idea why they do it pretty much every single time. (FYI-- http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebu
