Why would Google continue to pay them for search referrals?

Brilliant writing. However I can't help but imagine that had he lived a more risky and foolish life he would have come up with a different set of regrets and wishes. Although that …

Where can I find a list of these things?

I haven't been keeping up with jQuery for awhile, but I look forward to the updates. Site could be toned down a bit, as I find the horns to be a bit distracting, but other than tha…

I am surprised that so many other people share your sentiment. While I understand everybody loves to be a critic, is it really that bad? To me, the layout of the site was actually …

I was unaware that you could rotate things.

Interesting choice of image. The gears cannot turn. http://www.freestylemind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/brai...

Ah, thanks. Any first hand experience using it?

After reading Resig's post about Google Groups, I was wondering if there exists a web service that specializes in filtering out spam. I would imagine I could create a new filter, s…

Very cool idea and concept. However, I'm not convinced of the utility of rating a movie compared to it's trailer. If the movie has a shitty trailer, but is actually an OK movie, it…

Honestly, what did you expect? The link was called "Traits in PHP." The article described the initial constraint as being "stuck in PHP." This wasn't an article arguing that it's a…

How about the Trader Joe's line? For those that don't know, there are two lines (express, non-express) that extend the entire perimeter of the store. I'm not joking, the line goes …

What got me at first was reading the solution and thinking: "Oh, so they're allowed to label the boxes beforehand? Lame." I assumed by "label" the solutions meant "physically write…

It takes no extra effort to enter in the wrong item, so the cost of doing so is about zero. As far as what satisfaction I gain from it... I suppose I find it to be a sort of rebell…

I am always amazed, impressed, and inspired by the care tended to jQuery code. I'm as comfortable using it as I would be if I made the whole thing myself, in the sense that I'm oft…

Is this a joke? After reading about how zoom:1 is essentially a miracle, you'd be hesitant to use it because it doesn't pass a very arbitrary and often stupid set of rules? I'm not…

How do you propose banning it? Somebody will always get the news first... you can't stop them for reacting to it. Or, is it the frequency that you think should be banned?

>>How important is physical proximity, really? First off, high frequency traders are making their money off of how quickly they react to the market conditions. The quicker they rea…

While you're definitely correct, you should be aware of a literary device called "hyperbole" :)

Your post is a jumble of invalid ideas that, to me, merely expresses your contempt of modern day Wall St. You're completely entitled to your opinion, but you should be more aware o…

I think you've pretty much got it right. Once there's a significant amount of "agreement" on what a word says, reCAPTCHA will assume it's correct. My guess is it will keep unknown …

It's my guess Google is in this for the cookies and analytics that can be gathered by (however many) websites that use ReCAPTCHA. As a trivial side-note: When encountered with a Re…

Does there exist any sort of web app that can take rows of data and allow the user to run statistical reports on it?
