It would be nice if every browser installation came with a unique fingerprint, like a public ssh key that you could give to sites as a form of two-factor authentication.
Re:The Secret Ingredient In Your Orange Juice on Thursday July 28, 2011 @11:01PM (#2819979)
Did we read the same article? The one I read promoted eating fruit over drinking juice:

"Juice removed from the fruit is just concentrated fructose without any of the naturally-occurring fiber, pectin, and other goodies that make eating a whole fruit good for you [...] So, my first piece of advice is to get out of the juice habit altogether. It’s expensive, and it’s not worth it."

I wrote a userscript that dials down the whitespace, if anyone's interested: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/105891
Re:Google discontinues support for IE7 in Google Apps on Monday June 20, 2011 @04:06PM (#2675776)
I'm all in favor of anything that puts upgrade pressure on users of IE 6 and 7, but this rolling "current and previous major releases" idea is silly. They should simply establish minimum browser requirements like everybody else and update them when it makes sense to, not arbitrarily leaving it to whenever the browser makers release new versions.

Why would I use this over Sizzle in those cases? http://sizzlejs.com/

e.g. Sizzle('div:first')

Wow, I've never seen anyone do this before: <script src="//usecharm.com/silk.js">
Sure it's gaming-specific, but more prior art: http://steampowered.com

Seeing as you opened most of those issues only 5 hours ago, I think you meant to say "the library is full of problems", no?
Re:IE9 team responds to Reddit questions: reddit tl;dr version on Wednesday September 29, 2010 @11:28PM (#1742164)
But they are supporting XP, until 2014. And they've extended "downgrade rights" to XP Professional until 2020.
Re:A Gentle Introduction to CouchDB for Relational Practitioners on Wednesday September 22, 2010 @11:09PM (#1718415)
In my few months with Couch I've found it to live up to its "relax" motto, at least until I hit pagination. What you have to go through will seem grotesque to anyone coming from SQL.
