UberMouse··on I just wore Google's glasses for 2 weeks and I'm never taking them off
I don't need a smartphone, but it's convenient and useful.
UberMouse··on Why aren't younger Americans driving anymore?
Under his rules you would be able to drive by yourself from 19, so you would be fine.
UberMouse··on Why aren't younger Americans driving anymore?
So similar to what we have in New Zealand, but different ages. 16 and you can get a learners, have to spend a year (I think) driving with someone who has had their full for over two years After that you take a driving test to get a restricted and you can drive by yourself with no passengers as long as it's not over either 11pm or midnight for a year (Again not sure) and I think you can cut it to 6 months if you take a defensive driving course Then you can take another driving test to get your full license

Excellent rebuttal. You had me convinced at "n".

Yea but Chrome will accept any .crx file if you drop it onto the extensions tab. So it would in effect be the same thing, just a bit nicer for the user since they don't have to extract a zip and then browse to where it was extracted and load the extension.

Why is this Chrome extension unpacked. What? They make users download a zip file, extract the zip file, go into Chrome developer mode in the extensions tab and load an unpackaged extension. They could have done that themselves and then just have users drag the .crx file onto the extensions tab.

Am I missing something?

UberMouse··on Three Months to Scale NewsBlur
Haha, excellent, thank you for helping me. Also "Text" view seems to be missing from the Default View preferences, is this intentional?
UberMouse··on Three Months to Scale NewsBlur
Why can't there be an option in the cast of 1. for it to automatically open the first unread story when I click "All stories"? Basically what I am doing by pressing the first unread button.

I can understand not doing that by default since people may want to see their unread feeds, but I always just go to the first unread one anyway.

I wasn't aware you could do this. Locking it by default seems like it would make more sense.

Also while I've got you, two issues I've noticed.

1. When I click "All Stories" to refresh my feeds it defaults to listing everything, even though I have it set so I only view one item at a time. As soon as I click the button/arrow to go to the next unread item it shows the first item as it should and everything works fine after that.

2. I seem to run out of items after I've viewed ~20ish and I have to click "All Stories" again to fetch a new bunch

I'm using the dev site if that matters (Issues happen on both sites though). So far these are the only things annoying me and otherwise newsblur is pretty good.

Doesn't it have to fetch feeds to determine there are no new articles?

That looks correct, the population starts fudging as soon as you pass 500 pop

UberMouse··on SimCity UI Code + DRM
According to this (http://www.reddit.com/r/SimCity/comments/19xx7d/trying_some_...) the game runs completely fine without being connected to the server, just all the mp features won't work. All the server does is handle trading, leaderboards, regions and validation etc

I would assume that's against the iOS store TOS, you can ask them for a review but you can't ask for a five star review.

This is my current Chrome memory usage

This is with 18 tabs and ~20 extensions. Chrome isn't really light on memory usage anymore. 1.5GB of that is split between Google Reader and the Spotify web player though, anything Javascript heavy seems to use an absurd amount of RAM after it's been left open for a few days.

I don't see how the template element is something special, can't you use that Javascript on any container?
