The NES originals are available on Wii Ware, but its nice to see that SMAS is coming to Wii.

For the record, I wasn't making it a plus point, just a point of difference between myself and a user who would type his/her search queries more slowly. Its a great feature for those who type slowly, and makes search more accessible for them.

Well, it was there... hmm.

This is definitely useful for those who type slow, but its sort of startling for those of us who type faster. Thankfully it can be disabled: http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en

He just has other things he is working on as well. He is likely still in contact with the White House, they may just have forgotten to add him to their registry on whitehouse.gov.

A reason that some people feel JavaScript "isn't a good language" is because of the hurdles in developing cross-platform client-side web solutions. Most of this can be blamed on IE not following W3C standards for things like XML DOM (XMLHttpRequest). These hurdles are becoming less and less with IE's slowly waining market share. I used to have a similar opinion of JavaScript: that it was bloated and/or unnecessary. This changed when I actually began to learn JavaScript, and realized that it was a very elegant and capable language. Many APIs and toolkits already offer JavaScript scripting. Qt4 in particular, with its support of CSS style sheets and JavaScript scripting, is a fine example of how web programming paradigms can be used to enhance desktop applications. I think it would be nice to see JavaScript emerge as a ubiquitous "application scripting language".

Not only is a twittering remote not a new design, its something that few will ever want to use. Sadly, its just as easy to think of an unoriginal patent that people would actually use. "An electronic device used to connect to a blogging service to deliver updates as a result of user input or the device's state due to external observations." Could be a remote, could be a mobile phone, or even a computer. Let's patent "microblog service provider"!

I find that coding can be a stress relieving activity and is by many respects my happy place. I often find myself most relaxed when I am programming, either at work or for leisure.
