Can you cite some examples of these generators you speak of?

Please throw it at the vast majority of mobile (smartphone) browser developers while you're at it.

Wow jaw drops. Will these animations work in Opera Mini? (joke ;p)

Hmm, could you elaborate a bit on your concerns? Put another way, what's the worst that could happen?.

Also, it seems to be GPLv3 licensed https://github.com/soyjavi/tuktuk#licensing-options with a special commercial license for OEM's. I don't know how exactly that works - i.e. their methods of detecting OEM users and definition thereof (hence, without knowing these things, I see where problems could come about, but how likely are they to?)

I skimmed through the license/terms of use as they stand at time of posting this, and from https://github.com/soyjavi/tuktuk/blob/master/LICENSE.md#24-... it seems pretty tame.

tldr: GPL3 vs. MIT? What's wrong with the former? Or is something else there you see that I don't?

Vim reminds me of this white powder my mother used to use to clean drains or something. Weird.

Are you available for hire this weekend?

" Not to mention you have to mind wind conditions..." I can calculate the vector angle, wind considered, to almost 0.99% accuracy. Zero dot nine nine, my friend. While driving on the freeway.

"...otherwise the drop might land at someone standing/sitting/moving near by." But then there's no reason to spit in the first place, is there?

I do it. I think it sort of gives me a sense of comfort. But it seems to run in the family - on my father's side. My dad shakes his leg. As do my brother and yours truly. My paternal grandfather is a leg-shaking champion. I can't say for sure, as he is dead, but I'm pretty sure my paternal grandfather's father would out-leg-shake us all combined.

And then, on my mother's side, nobody I can think of does it. My mother hates leg-shaking. I try to be decent about it when she's in the room. Fortunately, my wife - who doesn't approve of legshaking, and seldom shakes a leg - doesn't really give me grief about it. Guess she's written me off as a leg-shaker, and accepted it as one of "those" things.

Did a survey once on the balls thing. We concluded that 100% of women don't ever scratch their balls

Kinda like spitting (with high initial thrust and decent precision). Or doing a double-snap thingy with your thumb or other extremity.

I was born capable of all three. I still wonder if I'm destined for Great things, or just a freak

Can someone pie chart this?

The XKCD-Oatmeal theorem. For every wonder-why that is spawned in the universe there exists an appropriate XKCD and/or Oatmeal.

Whaat? I had a stint in college studying Mechanical Engineering. You have to basically chain yourself to a desk and become an actual recluse-hermit mutant creature if you want to get through. I'd say that's pretty 'special' - in a certain context.

I swear, I was shaking my legs when I read this. I'm a "software engineer" - you didn't specify which type of engineer. I just had to comment because it felt like you were talking to me; like in some of those weird movies - "You! Yes, you - there's no one else in the room. YOU, the one leg-shaking. Listen up..." - kinda thing
