Comment OKCupid needs to block Firefox and get rid of JS (Score 2) 1482
If OKCupid is really that against FF as a browser, block the useragent string. Then I'll believe they really want to take a stand.
Also, as the FF CEO also created Javascript, get rid of that on the site.

I do a bit of bug triaging and reporting on Launchpad. I work with the Loco here and people locally to get involved and educated in free software using Ubuntu.

The questions are the same. The answers are the same. If you're not happy with it don't participate in it.
Submission + - Canadian Spy Coin's Secrets Revieled
arthurpaliden writes: "An odd-looking Canadian quarter with a bright red flower was the culprit behind a false espionage warning from the Defense Department about mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters. The harmless "poppy quarter" was so unfamiliar to suspicious U.S. Army contractors traveling in Canada that they filed confidential espionage accounts about them. The worried contractors described the coins as "filled with something man-made that looked like nano-technology," according to once-classified U.S. government reports and e-mails obtained by the AP."

An anonymous reader writes: iJigg is a new websie that allows artists to submit their music, have it rated, discussed and shared through blogs, MySpace and Facebook. However it is not only limited to music — users can also submit Podcasts and general audio calls (prank calls anyone?).
iJigg launched today, January 15th, and is already growing fast.
