It could be an Ent situation, they live too long to interact with something that only lives 100 years.

What sort of vulnerabilities are you worried about? You're running trusted code, connecting to a trusted service via https. Not browsing arbitrary websites. I doubt many vulnerabil…

I talk to a lot of people and try to find those who need a specific project done. I try not to take on "open ended" jobs.

The biggest dangers are going to be non-paying clients, and leads drying up. If you can't find any leads, you'll end up spending all your "self time" eaten up with business develop…

This is essentially what I've been doing for about a year and a half. I've found that the best way to do it is to focus 100% on client projects for a month or two, and then take a …

Yes, absolutely. My comment was actually incorrect, since it's 11.4 in 100,000 per year. I think I'd want my spouse to spend 1/5th less time driving for the increase in risk.

I'm not convinced the added safety is worth it. If you had the choice between getting to your destination in 20 minutes, with a 11.4 in 100,000 chance of dying, or arriving in 25 m…

Good. that's probably an indication that what most people really want is to get from point A to point B as quickly and cheaply as possible.

The browser is constantly repainting the polygon background at the top of the page, even when you've scrolled past it.

Wait. What? I'm gonna need some deets here. Please provide more context to the story of your paying strangers to call up your girlfriend every day. -What did you have them say? -Di…

I'm curious what these pitfalls are, and how using semicolons fixes the problem.

Very cool. I'll definitely use this in the future. Also the chaining syntax is really cool.

Fixed

Looking into it now, it has something to do with iframes and pushstate.

I use "real-time" in this fashion because describing it as "soft real-time" seems weird.

A web2.0 web based GUI for uglify-js and closure compiler. Just what I've always wanted.

I'd personally much rather see the source of the problem fixed (reduce carbon emissions). I also hope this doesn't turn into an excuse to clear-cut more rain forests. i.e. We'll cu…

They already are, look at all the worthless twitter, blog, and forum posts that Google has stored in their data centers.

Those paper thin spikes are NOT meant for comfort, and aren't for running more than 800 or so meters. For distance events (1600+) spikes resemble more of a running shoe.

What works for me is running in shoes for my workout, and then doing barefoot strides in a grassy field to strengthen my feet and ankles and improve my form. Running barefoot every…

It'd be a lot less work to just buy a legit Mac. ;-)

I don't believe in anything supernatural.
