David, thanks for the glimpse into what it's like to be deaf. I've wondered what it would be like, but it's pretty hard to imagine the near total isolation. I've met several deaf people, but I guess I haven't taken the time to think about h

Sort of, but this kind of hypocrisy in US legislation is common. I've turned up only a few articles/links on this matter. Apparently this falls under IRC 6039G, which appears to have nothing to do with HIPPA? Notwithstanding any other

Could you explain: - RubyMotion is Ruby That's great. Ruby is a great, easy to use and powerful language. I love Ruby. However given all the other things you sacrifice to get Ruby it's really not worth it. What do you sacrifice

I'd be a lot more willing to participate if PHP and/or Ruby were on the pipeline somewhere. I don't use Clojure or python, and an IDE for just Javascript isn't very useful to me. I've wanted to learn Clojure, but I have almost no time to le

I can't find it in the iPad app, so if it does have a radio feature it's not very accessible one.

It doesn't, but that didn't refrain from me laughing about the search results getting trounced by what really looks like Opera logos.

I noticed BGR's paranoid stance last time I read an article there. I don't remember the subject matter, but it too was linked to infowars.com. I cringe every time I see an article citing that site. And yeah, the bill looks harmless to me. J

I think it's easy to come to a false conclusion through studies like this. Unlike BACK I click an RSS icon once and subscribe in another application—and only if I already like the site/news/feed. So for the users like me that just click t

I'm with you Anthony. I work all day with PHP even though I love Ruby (and Rails, and Sinatra...) because practically ALL our client base wants either a static site or Wordpress, or another PHP-based CMS. Few of our clients have the budget

The math doesn't make the comments good. The math makes good comments easier to find, and buries comments with inadequate favor or confidence. Besides, the math made no effort to write the sentences. ;)

But do we need to cure all viruses? Do we know that all are hostile to humans?

Sequencing your DNA is of limited use since your phenotype is the expression of your genetic code. And your phenotype may be the direct opposite of what you are genetically predisposed to. Without knowledge of your phenotype the mapping of

It would be wrong if NateW hacked into and stole the source, or stole the design source/code of Dustin's project. But reproduction of someone else's work isn't ripping them off but is a compliment (it means that it's worth reproducing). As

Yeah, my sister pointed that out to me. It's a fairly serious concern. (Coincidentally, that's probably where the term "bird brained" came from...)

Our chickens aren't exactly free-range, but they have a large fenced-in area. The fence is electric, and the chickens do go in at night. But when a cat walks by and scares them, they have a tendency to get outside the fence and not know how

What about airsoft? You could mount a cheap, automatic, battery-powered unit and seriously sting those squirrels! I thought of using a similar system to protect the chickens I've got from the feral/neighborhood cats (I do have a fence... bu

Shane, You are exactly correct about the US's activity in foreign interventions. I would say that "we" are very active in that regard. And frankly, I think that we ought to get out of other people's sovereignty and be content with our own.

Rick, I understand that you're upset. But shouldn't you be more upset with the Swedish government than with the US government? Who caved? The Swedes! Countries have pressured other sovereign powers before, and the US is just following in

We have something in America called "being an accessory" to the crime. This means that you stood by without attempting to stop the crime, even though you learned that it was about to happen. Say that you're riding in the car with a friend w

MDY is syntactically correct English: January 30th, 2012. Or in older form (where it would have come from): "Dated: January the 30th, in the year of our Lord 2012." Even the US Constitution is dated this way. I strongly prefer this way beca

Syntax errors could use a bit of help. I know Ruby and haven't made an obvious error, so it'd be nice to see some kind of exception/description rather than "try again".

Being a user of TextMate 1.5, I don't know what issues you're referring to with "files larger than a few hundred k?" I've opened multi-megabyte XML files and dealt with them just fine. I've done regex search and replace commands, fairly com

I stopped using MooTools almost 7 years ago. My rationale was this: if I can't trust what the this variable is in an event, because of the framework, the framework isn't worth using. Mootools completely confused me with the constant alter

Unless I'm mistaken, he's laying the reason/groundwork for a replacement PRNG for Javascript/ECMAScript. If one of these algorithms were executed in the backend it would be quite fast and have none of "javascript slowdowns" for those calcul

I like the fact that the tabs have no icons, but rather large and readable labels. I do tire of everything being an icon these days and appreciate the effort you took to make them aesthetically pleasing. I'd like it that when I add a song n

I didn't mean in reference to their site, but how the end-user transmits the link to a recipient.

by trebor 15y ago
If the link is sent unencrypted a potential email relay or packet-sniffer could scan for the links related to your website and open it before the recipient. It would be easy to automate at any level. They wouldn't have context, sure, but th
