  1. 10x slower than equiv w/ getElementById: d=document;x=new Date();for(var i=0; i<50000; i++) {a = d.querySelector('#a')}alert(new Date()-x)
  2. People should point out more frequently that nationalism (in its non-liberating sense) is not much different from racism (if at all)...
  3. One of the few action films I actually hope someone will make: http://brett-zamir.me/wiki/Artistic_ideas#United_Nations_film
  4. Deletionists: Uve already lost the battle. With Wikipedia categories like "1876 ships" (with many articles!), notability has to be redefined
  5. "Who By Fire" - Leonard Cohen - Such a powerful, thought-provoking song. In an odd way, also can make us think how we're tied together
  6. METS idea: Allows mash-up (combine), mash-down (narrow down), mash-over (comment layer), mash-under (add meta-data, restyle or restructure)

  11. LoC METS for 1) sitemap replacement for link rel, 2) Gopher 2.0, 3) crawler-detectable linkbases, 4) offline-reassembly of file packages
  12. ...no need for restart since overlays dynamically
  13. Idea: use classes to build XUL els, so one can allow user to convert toolbar menu into statusbar menu, menu to context menu, etc. and...
  14. Ideal future of add-ons: 1) Click to approve & immediate effect. 2) Specify level of access, encouraging experimenting if can give low privs
  15. Sorry, Cronkite :) -- anyways, would be great if more of my fellow Americans realized its soundness rather than making it a Bogeyman
  16. "humankind will establish a viable and authoritative world government that will forever abolish war"-Kronite, "most trusted man in America"
  17. @MadeNoble: Sounds excellent! I recommend your checking out http://bit.ly/5flse8 (under "Education") and http://bit.ly/6thZoJ . Best wishes
  18. RT @WebReflection: is data in the SWF? RT @dalmaer Cool visualization of browser market share. Interestingly looks like a Firefox logo! ...
  19. @WebReflection I meant mine did not support attributes, used eval(), blah-blah-blah...
  20. @WebReflection : Yours is much more robust (eg no attrs); but I did have the same XML-based, PHP-safe part of the idea before... :)
