You are aware that ALL Javascript is open source, aren't you? If you trust native code simply because it's open source, why don't you trust browser-interpreted code?

No borders, so yes, they would necessarily overlap physically. In more sparsely populated areas, of course, you'd likely find most people (and thus, their private property) falling…

As a self-described anarcho-capitalist, I have to say that most such theories of privately-owned and -operated courts and police that I see thrown about on the internet are terribl…

Anyone else notice an annoying horizontal scrollbar (at 1024x768) due to the unnecessary 10px body padding? To me, that simple detail alone belies the second statement of his copy.…

A quick and dirty workaround for fellow netbook users -- enter this into the URL bar (too lazy/disinterested to bother with a greasemonkey script just now). javascript:var e=docume…

Interestingly, migraine headaches ( http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=migraine+headaches&... ) correlate with: - small business development - us copyright office - education…

Ah, my mistake, then. With all the recent hubbub and debate, it was not immediately clear that this wasn't simply a sarcastic and elaborate jab.

Part of me is strangely disappointed by this. A profoundly unrealistic tax law that, even if it were feasible, most people wouldn't have even tried to obey, anyway? It would have o…

(I.A.NOT.A.Dietician/Nutritionalist, so more lay/anecdotal/armchair discussion follows) I've had the same problems in trying to sort out truth and nonsense, so I just try to mainta…

>> The market is created by laws I always thought that the market was created by two people engaging in a voluntary exchange of goods and services. I'm not 100% sure about the "law…

Cool. Slightly off-topic, re: John Conway -- Some tangential wiki-ing led me to (what I think is) the even more interesting Look-and-say sequence & Conway's cosmological theorem: h…

Problems common to most of us, I think, though I can't say I've ever framed them as a matter of adulthood so much as a matter of motivation. Having something to look forward to, so…

I hope so, or else I don't really know any adults.

Don't forget his Six Flags commercials, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PDIBTS_xDQ Or am I the only one who couldn't get past the resemblance?

"without the ability to buy lottery tickets, [these people] would feel they have no possible way to become fabulously wealthy. ... For these people, there's no sense of hope for br…

Hm. I am certainly no economist, but I'm still not 100% sure that I have any logical reason to agree that "it should prove good for the EU" for the EU+IMF to "bailout the problem s…

Excellent comment, one of the most informative so far ITT. I realize that this borders on fortune-telling, but you seem to have a decent grasp on the situation, and you say RE: bai…

But not necessarily false confidence.

The whole net neutrality debate scares the shit out of me. One the one hand, we have ISPs, all with near-strangleholds in their area, making decisions that the market can't effecti…

"We ... are free to do business anywhere" Well, for now . If there are people who use the economy as a basis to keep immigrants from flooding in, just imagine the reaction if citiz…

Wasn't that slow for me on my netbook, but doesn't have any scrollbars, which meant I couldn't see a large part of the bottom @1024x600.

So Congress can't be trusted to pass simple bills, but they should be trusted to amend the Constitution?
