Gmail isn't working well either.

That was painful to read.
I think SAP is referring to an external entity having an influence on a government's judicial process, not necessarily strictly private. Whether it's the US Government or a special interest group. Assange's case included.

Neat idea, but the resolution is awful. What can you do with 640x360? This would be great if it could do 1080p or even 720p. Not 360p.
Re:Idea: keep clientside js in localStorage on Tuesday April 24, 2012 @01:09AM (#3882528)
Timeout isn't the only way. You could set a version variable on pageload, and have a conditional version check on init. If the versions match and localstorage exists, load from localstorage, if not, grab from the server and update.

Same thing happened to me.

Might be effective at keep the idiots out, but not the bots. The challenge sentence should not be in straight-up HTML.
Re:Aloha Editor - HTML5 WYSIWYG Editor on Tuesday August 02, 2011 @08:00AM (#2836797)
There's some problems with this editor still and there's very few updates or comments in the forums, to the point where it seems like a dead, inactive project.

".mahalo()" which is the destroy method is non-functional in the current release, even though it in the documentation. Artifacts from pasting and x-browser is a bitch too. It looks promising, but it ain't ready for primetime, and don't expect get much support either.

Re:Apple MacBooks Can Be Hacked Through The Battery on Saturday July 23, 2011 @04:31AM (#2796502)
I just wanted to mention that I'm tracking every single connecting device onto my city's main international airport's WIFI network (for analytics). I think this is a great gauge on the popularity of portables. And of millions of connecting devices, Mac portables and iDevices represent 63% of it all! It's definitely more than I would have thought, and it's quite interesting. You might think, oh right iDevices, but the breakdown is 60% Macbooks, 3% iPhones, 0.6% iPads.
Donated.
