No question about that. It's one of those "do it if we can" features. One could have a "light" version that just scraped the target page for header tags alone though. That might be a good compromise.

I've generally attributed this result to simple laziness. Someone else has an opinion, and if you respect their opinion, you are less likely and less motivated to apply original thought to the outcome. i.e. someone else has already solved t

Sorry guy - it doesn't resize to fit my screen, wants to store things on my computer without telling me what it is, and as I move through the presentation, the slides move further and further to the left, preventing me from actually reading

Interesting presentation, mostly well done :) It would be easier to read if each spoke kept each browser colour in the same space. It's much easier to quickly memorize and patrec spatial relationships than colour relationships. If "light bl

You don't need to hit quirks mode for cross-browser CSS. Stick to standards mode wherever possible.

If you want, a plugin could be written to simplify WPs administration area. It would be easy enough to hide things that you don't want admins to see by default ("n00b" mode), useful stuff that won't break the site ("l33t" mode), and everyth

True enough, but that's what title matching and content scraping are for. There would still be a percentage of misses (and false positives), but with the end decision to up-vote an existing, similar article or submit a new one left in the h

One possible partial solution would be for HN to check submitted URLs for "majority matches" (say, 90% similar) and a check against submission titles over the last 48 hours, then offer the submitter an option to simply up-vote an existing s

HTML and CSS for sure (XHTML can't be properly handled by most server/browser combinations, although they fake it well). For front-end interactions, Javascript is pretty much the only answer. jQuery is just a Javascript library, and AJAX is

Pity the HTML is so bad in this tutorial. A site that purports to be authoritative (at least enough to be providing tutorials) should know how to use HTML properly.

If you shoot your stats data out in the same (or similar) format that Apache does, you could use AWStats or Analog (or numerous others) to get graphs and analysis pages - including IP resolution and geo-locating,error frequency, etc. They'r

I would likewise suggest that you build your own, not so much for cost (although it does tend to be cheaper), but for satisfaction. Just make sure your RAM voltage <= CPU/Motherboard supported voltage. Using 1.75v RAM in a board that on

My concern with security stems from the eventuality of exposing that identifier to a viewer, most likely through a link - maybe to their profile page, or (for example) to a specific node or post. More commonly, that ID would turn up as a hi

If you block IPs, try to be as specific as possible. There was a popular site I couldn't reach for months from my home connection, but full of info I liked. I finally emailed the owner from work and found out that he had blocked my entire c
