Hey now, even the first version of Windows 95 made you reboot to change the number of colors on the screen. It was only after they came out with an unsupported program called "PowerToys" that you could change the number of colors on the screen without rebooting!

I had the exact same experience trying to figure out how to load an article in the WIKIpedia application. How on earth was I suppose to know that I'm supposed to find "Search" on the "Charms" bar?

Douglas Crockford says that Cross Site Scripting is called XSS for short because CSS would have been confused with Crappy Style Sheets

Several years ago, just this very thing was used to shut down a fledgling ferry-boat service among the Hawaiian islands, so the parent is definitely not kidding. Google "Hawaii Superferry".

If I'm not mistaken, you would have to assume that you are a point-mass in order for this to make sense.

OK, I'll bite. I am an ASP.net data-driver web application developer in San Antonio looking to move up to Austin, preferably northwest.

I've been passively looking for something better than what I have, but so far, I haven't found exactly what I want.

School Speed Zones are absurd. I worked as a delivery driver for several years, passing by a number of school zones on a regular basis. Not once can I ever remember seeing a child any where near the road.

I agree with you. I have misgivings about the USA PATRIOT Act when Bush was President. I still have misgivings about it now that Obama is President. That hasn't changed.

However, if you listen to many of the people who complained vocally about the USA PATRIOT when Bush was President, you now only hear crickets now that Obama is President.

Actually, I think it's the cost of housing that makes the difference more than anything else.

Here's a listing for a 2600 sqft house for sale for $190,000. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/Alexs-Ln-Austin-TX-78748/2119505827_zpid/

How much would a comparable property cost in San Francisco?

I work a job at a military base in San Antonio, about 1.5 hours from Austin. I live in a 700 sqft apartment that is 15 minutes from work in morning traffic. I pay $685 per month. How much would that cost in SF?

Some things, such as health insurance, are expensive everywhere, but Texas in general is a great place in terms of the cost of living.

I think that the legislation, as described, is not practical unless we want to ban all robotic photography. To me, that is simply throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

There are definitely inappropriate uses of robotic photography, but this isn't the solution.

Run Metro in a Window! Best Windows 8 improvement I've heard of, so far.

Now if only I could make those awful mandatory Windows Updates run in a window, too!

AC, what Bachelor's degree do you have?

By the way, I found this the other day. You might be interested.

Never mind the privacy issues here, why the hell do we allow public schools to waste so much taxpayer money on frivolous BS like this?

I have my personal theory. Considering how nasty the school district has been about this; demanding that she not only wear the badge, but publicly support their program, I am absolutely convinced that someone is lining their pockets with a sweet contract. They want to do this on a wide scale and will stoop to any depth to make it happen because of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

You could have asked the same question about the TSA. Follow the $$$$$$. Always follow the $$$$$$$. Ask who benefits!

I watched the video you linked to. I have been programming in JavaScript for years now. I was puzzled by the odd results that the author obtained, but having seen doesn't make me feel like JavaScript is inadequate for what I use it for. After all, why would anyone ever try to do the non-sensical calculations he asks JavaScript to do. Why would you ever ask JavaScript to do {} + []?
