I wonder if perhaps paper based letters would make a larger impact than email. A huge bag with hundreds of letters stands out these days.

I deleted my other question about how FB can know that the image is not a fake. My finger hit the wrong button ;) I'll answer here. Your idea can be done, but I don't see the advantage it would have over other methods.

I doubt FB uses that method. As explained in other threads it is too insecure.

That's not a secure method. Because it's browser based it can be faked with a proxy or simply modifying the local hostname file and map the domain to a server you control.

I think this can be broken down into two problems.

1. Preventing / curing all causes of pain. 2. Changing how the body responds to pain.

I think problem number 2 is easier to solve. The human body is a biological machine and I hink we will find better ways of handling pain than today. An example could be an implant in the brain that simply blocks the impulses.

I think it would help if any mouse click outside the arrows would change pages. It would probably also help mobile users.

Same here. I had to reload a few times before it worked.

Here's the version I found in the Google cache:

There are frameworks for Java that doesn't require you to compile / package / deploy for each change. One example of this is http://www.playframework.org/

You can right click the text and select "Go to web address". It's quicker in my opinion.

You could try Opera Mobile instead. That's a more traditional browser and may perform better.

Good idea. I was wondering if I should have changed the title, but it's too late now. Btw, the author of this article is not me, so I didn't gain anything by it.

I think it would make it more difficult to switch between the puzzle and the pieces because it's so large. The visibility would improve if the outline of the puzzle pieces were removed for those that are placed correctly-

What I am missing is a way to see the full picture. That would help place some of the more difficult pieces.

It makes it easier, but it's still possible to lose. The super bricks don't appear all the time

It seems that someone has inserted javascript code in their profile. That page is full of javascript message boxes saying "xss1", "xss2" etc.

Don't forget that he also made Transport Tycoon (1994).

According to Engadget, "[Nokia] has been given the liberty to play around inside WP7 to its heart's content".

Same here. It worked with Opera 11.01, so it seems to be a browser specific bug.

I think the job he referred to was not his first job

As a user, it seems that the main purpose of this site is to consume videos posted by someone. The "Cast now" button tells me nothing. I hope I don't appear too negative, but I think you have missed a lot of potential users. It's little that tells me that this is something other than "break.com" for games.

Most of the Lucasarts adventure games are still good games.

I don't have experience with tables as large as yours, but I have noticed that if you give the browser hints about the columns using the <col>-tag, it loads larger tables faster.

I think you are right. I remember Duke as technically more advance than Doom 2

I found something here: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Duke_Nukem_3D

"While Doom and Duke Nukem 3D feature similar technology, Duke Nukem 3D could in most respects be considered technically superior. The player can jump, crouch, and aim up or down. The rendering engine features slopes, overlapping and moving sectors, arbitrary scaling of textures and strong scripting capabilities"

Perhaps you could add some more feedback after selecting the image? It's great that it starts automatically, but it took me a few seconds to notice the progress indicator.

This short video is packed with great advice and insight. None of it is new of course, but he presents it well.

Unlike C# (I think), there's a difference between "int" and "Integer. Integer is a class, while "int" is a primitive. Due to auto-boxing you can create an Integer object from an int, but it will still remain an object.

The problem is caused by him comparing objects as if they were primitives. The Integer class is basically just a wrapper around an "int" primitive. When an Integer object is initialized with a value between -128 and 127 it will return an object from an internal cache.

The second time he creates an Integer with the value of 127 it uses the cached object, which of course is identical to the previous one. When he tries this with 128, the cache is not used and a new Integer object is created.

tl;dr; Integer is an object where some values are cached to avoid creating a new object. The "==" operator compares the objects, and not the values they represent.

It's an ad for the Javazone conference and is different from how other conferences market themselves. If the Old Spice ads are HN material, then this is as well in my opinion.

* if things don't improve soon there's going to be an opening for a mobile browser that specializes in filtering and caching web pages to speed up navigation*

Opera Mini already does this I think.
