I clicked the link and here is what I am greeted with:

"Purchase article full text and PDF: £22"

Seriously..

Just found you can zoom with the mousewheel. Zomming in on what appears an interesting feature reveals more and more details. This is just awesome. I can't help but feel more insignificant than usual when exploring this sky map.

Could this be due to throttling down as per heat? First benchmark would cause more heat to be generated, thus throttling down going on?

How do you define "Javascript libraries"?

I just tried Forbes' front page, and I got 108 scripts being pulled + [all inline JS of top page combined] = 109 scripts.

Just for ad.doubleclick.net, it's 30 external javascript files pulled.

And I got this result without the 19 iframes which were blocked, and which certainly would have raise further the script count.

This Business Insider article has over 100 scripts: https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/Quick-tour-%...

For a barely six-paragraph article...

> "The great thing about textual stylistic analysis is that everyone has a specific way of communicating that can be identified "

How scientifically well supported is this assertion?

Any place you can think of where a government will invoke "public interest" to silence those who challenge this government's trampling of human rights.

> 1. PUBLIC - Software engineers shall act consistently with the public interest.

In some places, "public interest" can go counter to "human rights". So I would rather have (order of precedence apply):

1a. PUBLIC - Software engineers shall act consistently to respect human rights.

1b. PUBLIC - Software engineers shall act consistently with the public interest.

Kudos to you to have read the whole thing and followed through with comments. I stopped reading after I came upon two fallacies, early in the article.

"Linux-ng" as in "Linux Next Generation"?

Who is "RMS"?

Edit: Ah never mind, searched for "who is RMS", got Richard Stallman.

Also, sophos.com revealed to facebook.com, through an iframe, that I went and read an article on sophos.com about a facebook.com's vulnerability.

Need volunteer translators for that GPLv3 project I am working on.

From the text: "It is impossible to use this new slice value to access the last three elements of the original array"

Shouldn't this rather be: "It is impossible to use this new slice value to access the last element of the original array"

I'm completely skeptical about the benefit of CDNs to users.

I would like to see some hard data about the number of web sites a user visit typically to understand how this is a meaningful argument. As of now, I lean toward thinking these CDNs are just yet another way to track users.

Anyways, I block them all by default, and my browsing works just fine.

If it is in the cache, why is the CDN needed anyways?

It could have been worst, imagine if the author instead had spent some of his precious time whining on a forum about how other people should spend their spare time on stuff he considers to be more valuable.

Hacking things to make them do something they were not designed to do is the life and blood of all things computers. It's just so damn fun.

Excerpt: "it also vastly expands the universe of things that could go wrong, particularly when it comes to privacy".

Very funny, from an article sitting in a web page filled with tracker scripts and whatnot.

That link... All these resources for a six paragraphs article... http://imgur.com/3l4FuER

You're right, my mistake. There was a typo in my grep ('btrad.com')

I noticed Ghostery doesn't prevent this tracker: betrad.com. Any idea why?

EDIT: my bad I meant betrad.com.
