thank you. i suppose this makes sense, i guess i don't understand objects / functions as well as I thought. I thought that Math was like a static thing from other languages, where you wouldn't ever create a new Math() and therefore the this operator wouldn't make sense...
this was great. exactly what I have been looking for. I still have a few questions though...
function largest(){
return Math.max.apply( Math, arguments );
} <-- why is it necessary to run this function in the context of "Math". I don't get this...
and i feel like an idiot. didn't realize that today was the 4th. i would imagine that June 1 would make more sense though...but thats pretty nit picky.
fckeditor code was such a pain to explore, hopefully this complete rewrite solves those problems. we use it over tinymce at work because of the free upload addons.
i think the main excuse I use to not travel is that I have a very stable job currently (federal govt). Its a risk that I would have to accept that when I return I would have difficulty finding employment.
so the girl in the article who gave a blowjob when she was 15 to a guy in her class...you think its appropriate now that she is 30 that everywhere she moves she has to announce that she's a sex offender? come on, that's ridiculous.
If we are putting sex offender registries online, lets put all criminal registries online as well. I should know if I live next to people with drug habits, right?
are you serious? this may be what the segway needs. Extreme segway sports. If i saw someone going 70 mph on a segway, my first thought would certainly not be 'what a square'.
um...i would imagine that if SSDs provided the illusion that applications loaded faster without actually improving performance, people wouldn't be shelling out $$$ for them.
Are you saying that products like the iphone are crap? Sure, you can buy the cheapest thing possible from walmart and save money, and sure, it'll break faster than a a higher-quality product. Its called choice. Even the high quality stuff coming out of china, like an iphone, is made much more inexpensively than we could make them in the states.
i guess this is why i don't get the whole ruckus surrounding the oracle purchase of sun. Can't some other entity just takeover the responsibilities (under different branding) if oracle decides to let mysql flounder?
i haven't read the article or checked my google reader, but I have always thought that the thing RSS was missing was social capabilities. this is why sites like yc are such a big hit, there is a need for this on the internet. RSS + voting for stories is great as far as i'm concerned, just give people the ability to turn it off if they don't like it.
also, if you inadvertently obtain seeds (like, if your neighbor has Monsanto wheat and his grains blow into your fields) you have to kill your crop or pay Monsanto. reminds me of the RIAA's business model.
Your quote does not support your claim that the comments are for interesting and insightful discussion only. in fact, there are some untold guidelines that you must abide by to not be voted into the grey oblivion. One, as the grandparent found out, is that you must only post things that others to deem beneficial. The only yc-sanctioned method of showing support is to vote up. Another strict one is no humor, even if it adds to the conversation.
i imagine that counterfeiting a 500M / 1B bond is much different that doing so for a $100 bill. How many institutions can actually accept such a bond? I am actually surprised that they exist in paper form at all.
you entrepreneurs are a serious bunch. I'll remember be solemn and serious in the future. I brought up a valid point though, random adults shouldn't be asking to see nude images and videos of teens, even if it is purportedly to help out. Its one thing for teens to send them to each other. Its an entirely different thing for a school administrator to request the images. There is no benefit for him doing this.
just because it shouldn't be done...doesn't mean people aren't going to use it to make money. and how long have browser people known about this and done nothing? this will be a privacy issue for many years to come.
