I'd expect the number who use NoScript to be 1-2% if that.
Note this is out of a mainly firefox userbase. For the general web those %'s would be far lower.
<script>
oldalert = window.alert;
window.alert = function() {};
</script>
<script src="http://json.org/json.js"></script>
<script>
window.alert = oldalert;
</script>if (browser.supportsWebSocket) useWebSocket(); else useComet();
Also, you can just enable it when it's available, and fallback to comet etc when it's not.
It's a sort of interesting idea, but completely impossible to calculate ROI etc before you spend.
Also, WTH "only accepting US credit cards." Hate it when sites pull that one.
You'd certainly manipulate hundreds of DOM elements at a time, consider say a twitter stream, where each post has "10 seconds ago" marker, and they all need updating.
What you can learn though, is that using the built in DOM methods, or wrapping createElement if you need to, is far faster than using some other abstraction from the DOM.
You know, choosing something based on how well it fits the problem?
I doubt there is any real bias though, js libs have different aims. Some aim to have complete browser support at the expense of speed+size, some assume a certain level of browser, and so come in much faster.
The fastest lib though is always going to be no lib. It's far easier to optimize your own code.

Basically, if you do a redirect (30x) then the referrer isn't set. This means that a number of things are broken. The referrer should be set, and is set in all other browsers.
For example, if someone clicks on a tinyurl link, which redirects to your website, you won't get info on where they came from. The referrer will be empty.
Bug was reported in feb, I'm not sure why it's not been fixed, since it's a pretty big bug.
Some data needed there me thinks.
Sure, everything in moderation, but if you enjoy something, do it. If you suddenly realize that you had neglected something/someone else, then that's another matter.
You always have to try and get a good balance between work and family, but I don't think the article really considers the instance where people choose to work long hours because they enjoy what they do.
'Doing a startup' is surely enjoyable work. That's why people enjoy working more, and why they put in more hours.
I keep saying I'll get an early night, then at 1am or 2am there I am just finishing off some detail. That doesn't mean I'm addicted or have a problem, it means I'm enjoying myself and loose track of time.
Was Mozart 'addicted' to writing music? Or was he just a prolific composer?
We've heard this same blog post 100 times before from 37signals though :/ - "Listen to us and we'll show you our special system to allow you to work less!"
3 days ago in this case.

It's like a very slow echo.
It's a way to make a story more sensational than it is. You see it in tabloid newspapers often:
Headline: "Man eats biggest fish ever recorded!!!"
Small print: 'records on biggest fish eaten by humans have been kept for the last 6 weeks'.
Is it just me that is extremely uneasy about taking a few years of data, out of the bajillion years the earth has been about, and drawing any conclusions from it?
Try and make an 'error' in the phrase 'public static void'. See how well it compiles if you mistype 'public' as 'pubic'.
If you're not able to read the code well, then that's one thing (Learn to read code better). But don't spread the misinformation about errors. And no. You're not writing 3 times as much code unless you're an idiot. LOC in Java is pretty much the same as LOC in python for example when written properly.
The 'verbose' one, I read as ...println("Hello, world!")...
Perhaps I'm not normal, but I 'see' those code snippets to be identical in terms of code.
Lets face it, we're never going to be bound by typing speed, and as I say, there's no chance of getting a bug into that 'verbosity' in java. So the only real issue is down to taste, which is up to the individual.
I agree though, it's perhaps not the best word to use.
Use what you enjoy using though. But please don't buy the FUD about verbosity.
If I'm looking at code, the "public static void" doesn't detract from readability at all. I would much rather see "public static void" than some new 'less verbose' &$%||foo|| stuff I have to look up. I find it much easier to read words than characters.
It's a wonder anything works in some of these new 'unverbose' languages, where a 'concept' is a single character, and a single char typo can mean you've suddenly got a bug you have to go find.
