No need for any plugin. It's fairly easy to do it yourself: http://jsfiddle.net/treeface/Z63Yt/2/

I like this idea as well. It also would be easier to implement than my idea :-]

Ah, but how do you count that in a ranking algorithm? I'm 90% sure my idea is not the answer, but maybe we can think of something else. Maybe this is naive, but there's something about a binary voting system that just strikes me as somethin

Have you ever considered giving people the option to register their abstinence from voting on a comment? Right now we have up and down, but a lot of the time I feel like I wish I had an "abstain" button. This would be reserved for the comme

I meant I feel bad for them because they're expected to crank out an Android/iOS competitor in an unreasonably short period of time. For some of them, this is probably the crowning achievement of their programming careers, yet people like u

I agree with you in general about the similarities between the two languages, but I haven't seen any movement from one to the other regarding the differences. I simply meant to address your comment regarding JS becoming AS. Re: compilatio

The problem is that they're unwilling to jump on WebKit. I imagine this might have something to do with the historical prominence of the IE team at Microsoft. Using WebKit (and possibly even the JS-processing code Google pushes back to the

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but how is Javascript becoming ActionScript? To name a few major differences: the OO architectures are very different and Javascript doesn't compile.

I feel bad for the MS devs, but from a consumer perspective, this is how it works: It's 2010. If you start a television production company today, you won't come out with a black and white CRT using the excuse "has everyone forgotten that Pa

Very cool, and good on China for developing this. However, I would imagine that it matters less in the modern era of distributed computing how powerful the biggest computer is, but how powerful the biggest group of computers is. Isn't foldi

Thanks, Nathan. I'll be giving these a look later today!

It will be interesting to see how (and how quickly) Treasury yields rise when they ultimately do. I suspect that the longer the Fed keeps up T-bill purchases, the more violent will be either the collapse of bond prices when they finally pul

I put on my skeptical hat when I hear claims like that. I'd have to see extremely solid evidence to believe it. Nice site! Layout is cool. I haven't dabbled too much in ETFs or tools for researching them, so I'll have to pass on any judgmen

I've never read Dodd & Graham directly, but have obviously heard lots about it as it is one of the seminal works in investment theory. However, consider this from WP: >However, in the 1970s Graham stopped advocating a careful use of

No worries! I'm not trying to scare you off, I just want you to be aware of how deep and murky the pool is before you dive in. Ultimately, all of this stuff is really very interesting and fun to learn even if you don't one day make millions

It depends on who you listen to. I spent a good 2 years post college building upon the foundations of finance, accounting (of all its various stripes), monetary theory, international factor movements, quantitative analysis (read: fairly hig

Cool! That's very generous of you. I didn't mean to say that that's exactly what you implied, I simply meant to suggest that the postulation might have a flaw, even if it is an interesting one. Either way, I'm glad to have found your site!

While interesting, these conclusions require much more in-depth analysis over multiple years to be of much real value. Colourlovers.com is pushing this as a way of finding out what color clothes people are going to buy, but do the results o

On the other hand, I might actually click on a domain called "stockyoo.com" out of curiosity, whereas I would assume something called "camstockphotos.com" is probably a scam site or the poor product of a domain squatter. Then again, I never

I think there's nothing wrong with the color as your brand logo, but perhaps think of making another color accent it nicely on your home page or making it a more subtle part of your color scheme. The way you have it set up on other pages is

Take this for what it's worth, but the first thing I notice is the extremely bright yellow rectangle on your home page. Maybe it's because I have eyes that are somewhat sensitive to bright lights, but it's aesthetically very difficult to st

Apple and Amazon both provide a marketplace for music. Amazon and Google both provide datacenter services. The similarities don't extend much beyond either of these points. Oh, and all three are headquartered in the Pacific mid-to-northwest

Never heard of that sort of system, and I'd never before heard of a valedictorian having a GPA too far north of the 4.6 region. Well...I suppose it's difficult to say if my experience applies generally (I'm sure it doesn't). However, at lea

Surely it's a combination of both when you graduate and how you grow up? My problem with your line of reasoning is that I believe you're mistakenly generalizing in this important respect: You're lumping the entirety of "generation X" into a

"Generation X" doesn't tell me a whole lot about when you grew up as it appears to encompass a range of 20 years of births (1961-1981 according to WP). In the US (and I'll focus on the US because I think that's where the reverse application
