harryjohnston writes: "Having been kicked off Groklaw a while back for "ignorance", i.e., having opinions differing from those of the owner, I'm looking for an alternative source of news/commentary about legal issues relating to technology — other than Slashdot itself, of course! Any suggestions?"

Submission + - US Drone "Hijacked" By Iran Claims Engineer (msn.com)

Ironically, the primary site for which I really need a faster Javascript engine is Slashdot. For a heavily-commented article I switch to Chrome.

Is chrome the only broswer that has problems with the idle.slashdot comment thread. It anytime I try to open a closed comment, it refreshes the page and only gives me the comment, it doesn't expand the comment inline like it does in a normal comment thread. I've always been to lazy to try other broswers.

There's the whole visited link color issue. basically the page can see the tell what the color of a link is, and if the color is the "visited link" color, you know the user visits that page. so the page puts up a bunch of urls, checks to see which of the URLs are in the visited link color, They now know which sites you have visited somewhat recently.
