Also don't forget to source the image and the containing page at the same server, or alternately to set document.domain of each side to the common superdomain.

Eight tabs? I have well over 100 open at any time with Opera. This sort of browsing behavior chokes Firefox 2.x. I'd like to see whether Firefox 3 can handle it.

I'm always about keeping a variety around. For beers produced within my own country (USA), I like the products of Sam Adams (Boston Lager, Winter Lager, Summer Ale, and some of the…

one of the commenters on the article brings up a good point. What are the statistics like for "apache", "spring framework", and "orm"?

Ah, then the key to acceptance is to name your company "General" something. It does bring up a key point, though. The contacts that you make there are going to be generally governm…
