"Random fan" probably doesn't have nearly as many followers as the media tweeter. So, no problem.

Amen.

Sticker Lenses, only on a nano level. Am I missing something?

Excellent. Thank you for digging this up.

I wouldn't have a problem with lossless compression as long as any alpha-transparency is maintained. So, perhaps I missed something: Where does it say that the compression will be lossless?

This seems like an amazing simple solution for the biggest bandwidth hogs on my servers--the images. But, it seems like it's not set up to perform in this role satisfactorily. In the FAQs, it looks like they recompress images. I'm pretty sure I'd never want another site to monkey with my, or my clients', images. An elegant and nearly transparent way to install a CDN this may be, but unless they are willing to never ever mess with my content, I don't think this will work for me. At this point move along, there is nothing to see here.

I've been using Cold Fusion Studio 5 for over 10 years and love it. I don't care for visual editors and am versed in all the underlying syntaxes that I use. It has intelligent highlighting, tag insight/completion, FTP integration, and most importantly RDS integration (for direct file manipulation as well as database schema viewing/querying). I am hesitant to update to Windows 7 since I lost the install files due to a hard drive crash, or else I could see using it for the next 5 years or more. It's a very solid editor, despite a few minor quirks. Notepad++ would likely be my next platform of choice if I lose my current install.... if only it supported RDS I'd switch now, to be fair.

Just reading this article is making the tips of my fingers feel funny. What a horribly painful notion... rubbing my finger tips on a surface for 4-6 hours a day.

Is this going to affect sites that use a cookie to maintain session state? If so, let me be the first to say: No. Thank. You. I cannot afford to reengineer all my sites.

It's hard to give a thoughtful gift. The guys at the Nanotechnology Center have done a very excellent job at a tough task. While it doesn't necessarily advance mankind, it made one person's day that much better. I applaud this effort.

You mean that Intel would have to maintain a database of a few hundred million unlock codes? NOBODY can store a database that huge! Sheesh.

Oh wait, I've got a copy of it on my thumbdrive.

It seems to me that we'll run out of IPv4 space VERY quickly if every website that collects PII is required to become encrypted with SSL. Option B: use an expensive multi-domain SSL. The CAs must be frothing at the mouth because of this new law. I think the lawmakers of MA just gave me a really good excuse to raise my hosting rates.

The USB dongle has been around for years, though I only recall seeing it in association with "professional" applications such as CNC and CAD software. Do you think the gaming world would be receptive of some sort of hardware key for applications with such a low price tag?

Simply searching on google fo the tail end of the URL shows exactly which sites are vulnerable and the provider of the sites... Now the entire database of restaurants is open to attack. If the author was trying to teach their client a lesson or two (or 50)--well, good job...

I agree that the interest needs to be there. When I was 10 I taught myself BASIC, moved on to Pascal by 12, Assembly at 14, over to C, back to Java, etc, etc, etc. Once a programmer gets their feet wet with a couple different types of languages the sky is the limit, but something has got to "click" early on or it's just not going to work.

I wish Logo were still available, because that would be perfect--instant gratification is what kids at that age like. You may even want to look at Macro programming in some of the MS Office apps since it provides fairly instant feedback in a controlled environment.
