Google today pulled the wraps off an "early preview" of its Dart programming language. Dart is squarely aimed at providing an alternative to JavaScript, which has become the "lingua franca" for developers of web applications, but a nettle to Google. From Google's point of view, JavaScript is...

I end up rewriting the code for AJAX-support in IE6 every-time I see it. I think I got it right this time :D function tryThis(fn, a, b, c){ if ( fn instanceof String ) fn = new Function(fn); try { return fn(a, b, c); } catch(e){}; return null; // can I be used for anything else? }...

I'm curious if there is any good JavaScript-specific IDEs yet? Not Notepad++, Netbeans, Eclipse, Cloud9, that other fancy one...

Was looking at laptops for a friend, and I came across this HP g6-1b60us for $400. Quite possibly the king of budget laptops. A4-3300M 15.6" HP BrightView LED Display (1366 x 768) AMD Radeon™ HD 6480G 5.22 lbs 4GB DDR3 500GB (5400RPM) SATA Up to 7 hours battery life (internet) DVD + Webcam +...

The other day; I discovered macros. Now I'm trying to create a macro that would cast the first usable action in this order; Shield Block, Revenge, Victory Rush, Shield Slam, Devastate. Perhaps if blizzard properly documented their own API's and languages I would've discovered this isn't...

There is an insane amount of ignorance when it comes to hardware... hopefully these simple points will help put a fracture in that iceberg. You get what you pay for You're told this when you're young and when you become rebellious you may think it's not so true. Like many other things...

For those of you who [should've] tried Cloud9 months ago when it was released and couldn't make sense of it; it now works. I feel this is a necessary announcement as Cloud9 was telling everyone it was working, and a bunch of BS bloggers also claimed it was great -- when it was obviously not...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's on Friday downgraded the credit rating of the United States, stripping the world's largest economy of its prized AAA status. In July, S&P placed the United States' rating on "CreditWatch with negative implications" as the debt...

Decided it's about time I actually get a credit report. Anyone know of a good service containing very little bs?

I realize this has been discussed before (somewhat); http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php/164359-New-iMacs However after doing too much research on imacs for my gf's sake, I'd like to present to you all the idea that the 2011 imacs, ONLY the 2011 imacs, are actually a good deal. :eek...

The other night I passed by one of those "fanatic" preachers... and after 500 ft past I ended up turning around and talking with the guy for 2 hours. I was curious whether he'd be open to incorporating evolution of species and society into his beliefs at all as perhaps a method of bootstrapping...

I have a bit of an obsession with optimization; this time I decided to document everything. Feel free to criticize and suggest :D # Filesystem vi /etc/fstab (after "LABEL=/ ", change "defaults" after to "defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=120") #changing writeback locks system # Shut...

I'm new to Windows server, seasoned with Linux. Set up a remote desktop with ovh.net recently and have been trying to get a web server running on it despite my fears of concerning windows. I currently use this batch script along with starting up the nginx.exe through the GUI. start-fcgi.bat...

I'm relocating to Raleigh, NC. Apparently cities now have WiMAX -- 1 megabyte down, 1 megabit up for around $40-50... anywhere. Seems too good to be true imo, what's going on here? Still can't figure out the difference between home internet and on-the-go.

Might as well write this down somewhere... Traditional document.getElementById('wrap'); document.getElementsByTagName('div'); document.getElementsByClassName("fancy blue"); // * /* class method does not work in IE8 or FF2 */ CSS document.querySelector('#wrap > h2 + div')...

I wrote a JS whatchamacallit today, let's me do this... new $('textarea#textarea').merge({ parent: new $('div.someHolder'), rows: 10, cols: 30 }); $('textarea')[0].value = 'phallus'; $id('textarea').value += ' override'; $('#textarea').value += '++'; new...

If you use GoDaddy willingly for it's intended purposes; you have no idea what you are doing. No exceptions. I write this so bluntly to get your attention, it is true, but that doesn't mean you can't improve. Back from before I was an adult, I had domains registered under my father with...

I believe all of you who have experienced the misfortune of scripting in galaxy should license your code and make things as difficult for Blizzard have they mal-intent. Moral Foundation The natural manner of thinking is that Blizzard made the game therefore has absolute power of it, but...

How does one script in GALA? The built-in editor hardly supports it. I'm just looking for an IDE or a Tool that will give me correct debug codes, syntax high-lite somewhat properly, and support my test-constantly behavior. This is what I've got for my first crack at it, not important...

I read online that at an intersection, the driver making a left turn during a collision is at fault 99% of the time. I was just involved in such a accident last night. Both sides had a green light, a 25 MPH residential-commercial zone, I was required to yield to oncoming traffic. I stopped...
