strickjb9··on Differences Between jQuery .bind() vs .live() vs .delegate() vs .on()
This is also my biggest grip with the new .on(). I can't quickly look through code anymore since .on() can take on different meanings based on the arguments passed. When jQuery 1.7 was released I commented on this on the release notes page, I wasn't well received. It's refreshing to know that others feel the same way...

strickjb9··on Malls track shopper cell phones on Black Friday. To opt out? Turn off your phone
I'm only 5 miles away from Short Pump mall... this is really interesting. I'm pretty confident that they don't even care about attaching this kind of information to an actual person's identity or purchases. Still, even if I was concerned the likelihood of me turning my cellphone off just to avoid being tracked is close to nil. It's something that needs to be watched closely...
strickjb9··on This 28-Year-Old Is Making Sure Credit Cards Won't Exist In The Next Few Years
You don't need to issue a cease-and-desist to choke the life out of a company through clouded regulation such is the case w/ FaceCash. Aaron is obviously going to operate his company within the confines of California law and wasn't able to do so...

I'll be following the civil suit very closely. Best of luck.

strickjb9··on US Bill Creating the Great Firewall of America
Okay, that makes more sense. Google did try and play ball for a little while...
strickjb9··on US Bill Creating the Great Firewall of America
Google didn't help China censor the internet (as stated in the 1st paragraph). It makes it very hard to read the rest of the article after seeing this. In fact, Google pulled its services out of China because it wouldn't succumb to censorship requests. Google this --> "google pulls out of china"
strickjb9··on Enterprisify your Java Class Names
your interpretation of my comment is not what you think it means
strickjb9··on Enterprisify your Java Class Names
Unfortunately, I work at a place where most of the programmers here use naming conventions like these. I'm pretty sure it's to cover up their lack of ability or maybe they are suffering from dunning-kruger.
strickjb9··on HTML5's time is back
HTML shouldn't need CSS + JavaScript to incorporate basic functions. The point of these new elements is to DEFINE semantics that we can take advantage of TOMORROW. This goes far beyond screen readers.
strickjb9··on What I learned from raising venture capital
dontbubble.us link is broken - it sends you to donbubble.us
strickjb9··on TakeThisLollipop - really clever/creepy use of the Facebook API
This is a genius idea. I'm sure it will go viral and everyone (including their mother) will give this site a test drive.

I can only assume that it is designed to do one thing - data mine.

strickjb9··on Smoke.js - A framework-agnostic styled alert/confirm system for javascript
I believe he means writing scripts inside of HTML attributes.
strickjb9··on Ooops.
Same - I now write DELETE FROM WHERE and then fill in the blanks.
strickjb9··on Tell HN: .ly domains starting to have problems (letter.ly)
Despite the slip up on the country-leader pairings, you make several valid points. You have to be comfortable with the (small) risk of registering with a country's top level domain.
strickjb9··on Amazon Cloud Drive Is Not Dropbox
Is this typical of cloud storage? I read through their ToS and found that they retain the right to access your files.

5.2.Our Right to Access Your Files. You give us the right to access, retain, use and disclose your account information and Your Files: to provide you with technical support and address technical issues; to investigate compliance with the terms of this Agreement, enforce the terms of this Agreement and protect the Service and its users from fraud or security threats; or as we determine is necessary to provide the Service or comply with applicable law.
