Standardized testing is a far cry from 'standards'. The problem with ST, is that when it's linked to how much money you get to teach with and such, you're forced to Teach the Test.…

http://arcturus.resu.me/ It's not bad! And I'd love to get aj.resu.me if available :)

I can agree with all of those except 'antibiotic-laced meat'. And some things, like 'certain pharmaceuticals' (whatever they are) and most certainly DDT still are very useful. We c…

Hahaha, genius. Did you just post this, or make it, instakill? Because if you made it, I love you.

And I have to say, what's with your tone? That somehow, because a person might think a government could be dodgy or work in a way they don't want, that they have to shed that belie…

I believe it, frankly.

More pointless wittering from John Gruber. "Oh, well, it MUST be Google's DNS. It can't be a problem with my precious Apple and how they handle things with their CDN!"

I'm the writer of that blog and I eagerly anticipate responses, thoughts, criticisms and put-downs :D

Jesus christ that's horrible (the hex color thing). It looks so NASTY.

Wow. Fuck this website. I go to read the article. BAM, a social networking bar. Then actual inline popup bubbles, a-la Microsoft Clippy. "Do you need help reading an article?". I w…

Yeah, I did. It was pretty much, "LOOK AT THE SHINY. LOOK AT THE SHINY SHINY. NOW SHUT UP. SHINY."

And once again, John Gruber has his lips firmly wedged into Apple's asscrack.

So the ACTUAL color resolution is what, about 340x200 or something? Or is it just a vertical/horizontal thing, or?

I believe so, yes.

I'm quite sad that they passed over such great things as WikiLeaks for Yet Another Ad Company.

I see this argument all the time. "Oh, Joe Schmo won't know how to do this! It'll frighten them!". And this happens absolutely everywhere. And it's true. But this problem won't go …

After reading about a service called RestBackup, which will continue to keep your data for a length of time, even if you cease to be customers, in case you 'need it later', I am wo…
