I would say that Nimrod is very well know as a term for idiot. I think most everyone I know would think of "idiot" before they thought of "hunter". I don't think I learned the meaning "hunter" until I was in my 20's. That is in the US of course, might be different elsewhere, perhaps places where Loony Tunes was less well known (Bugs Bunny calling Elmer Fudd a "poor little Nimrod" is where it first picked up the "idiot" connotation). In any case it was widely understood when I was in elementary and high school (80's and 90's)

No, Nintendo shouldn't use flash on their website either. And if Panasonic doesn't want people to use one of the more common JS libraries around, they probably shouldn't allow JS at all.

Reddit, much like digg, sucked from the get-go, and has never stopped sucking. I'd sooner get my news from 4chan.

Heh. Clouds aside, I find the star gazing is rather good for a large city. Well, being in West Seattle behind a hill helps too...

Not sure if joking...

A lot of the sslstrip stuff is based off of people not noticing the page has changed to insecure, modern browsers try to address that by making it more visible than it was in the pre-FF3 era, e.g.:

No, G+ is fine. Better than FB, in fact. I don't trust Google really, anymore than I trust Facebook, and its network effect is much smaller. But those are different matters.
