It would be good to have a "click to unmute" option as the default for how a browser handles audio. Click to play works well for Flash plugins, it might be good for audio as well.

I love this ballast file idea. It reminds me of a programming story by Noel Llopis[0] where a game developer was working with a strict memory limit and placed static char buffer[1024 * 1024 * 2]; in the code as an insurance policy[1]:

Can anyone explain the significance of the @@ characters in some of the urls here? I've not seen these in urls before and wonder if there's a specific reason why they're there. Example: http://demo.monsti.net/

Would zsh still protect me if the script explicitly uses Bash (i.e. #!/bin/bash)? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm unsure how shells work when calling other kinds of shell scripts.

Thank you, it's not always clear when a reboot is needed after an update. I do it with kernel updates but wouldn't have in this case until I read your comment and ran the command to check. If would be nice if package managers woul

It sometimes convinces me to go ahead with a service if I know I can get data out later down the line. It might be worth building it anyway to encourage more people to sign up, even if most users never end up using it.
