Great! Maybe server-side cache the images so they only need to be generated once?

Thanks for creating this. It helps a novice 'see the forrest for the trees' to make significant improvements easier. I love some of these suggestions, too. How about this one?: Make it game-ish. "Your rank of 88/100 means your site loads fa

I haven't tried, because I don't want to throw off the results, but it looks like you can vote more than once (only the arrow for your selection disappears). If that is the case, consider this a bug report.

Yeah. It was a nice full eraser and it really didn't wear much. There wasn't really a taste, or bits to spit out or anything.

The graph images in the report aren't loading because they are being requested at too large a scale. Something like: https://www.google.com/chart?cht=bhs&chs=305x900&chb... works.

I could be wrong, but I think part of the reason electric kettles haven't caught on big in the US is the lower voltage. One of the first things that caught my attention over here (Northern Ireland) was that the kettles boil so fast. It's

Loved it. Great point. I especially liked this: “Stop calling me that”, I said. “I’m not your uncle, It’s just an economical narrative technique I employed, so that everyone would make the assumption that I know you really well.”

Great article. We love the tea here in Northern Ireland, and our impression is that most off-the-shelf bagged tea here is of very high quality in comparison to the US. We're drinking lots of 'Punjana' these days.

I want to know, too! After typing in all the programs from the tutorial that came with my computer, I used to buy the Commodore magazine to type in the BASIC programs. One magasine even featured code to write your own windowing toolkit!

I remember reading this when I was 11 or 12-years old (about 25 years ago). I had to ask my mom what 'Russian Roulette' was, which made her a little nervous about what I was reading. My favorite line is from that game: 32 PRINT "

I use Ruby on Google AppEngine. I was running out of resources on Heroku (free plan). It's good and has some community support. It does start up slow, so you have to be prepared to run a cron to hit once a minute or so. http://code.google

You mentioned Sound Foley and art, but you left something out, so maybe people aren't aware of this one: Try this, type dingbat into the editor and hit tab.

I think whole grains are great. They provide fiber, lots of vitamins, and they fill you up with less calories, so you eat less of the other bad stuff.

A while back I made a choice to lose some weight and eat healthier. I cut out anything with lots of sugar or refined starches - and deep-fried food. So, I switched from white rice to brown, white bread to whole wheat, and white tortillas
