    Then that metadata should be appended to the part of the page that it is associated with (and then the browser can do the work of including it in the copied data), not retrieved from some third party site.

    My way has the advantages of accuracy, speed and privacy (but speed probably isn't a real big factor, and like any data, it is only as accurate as the person creating it cares to make it).

  9. Re:Habits on Tynt Insight Is Watching You Cut and Paste · · Score: 1

    It happens from time to time. I think whoever is doing it sees it as some sort of protest of the moderation system (just now I notice this article is under YRO, I haven't noticed if the mod-bombs are concentrated in this section or not).

  10. Re:can't say i'm surprised on Google Attackers Identified as Chinese Government · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ridiculous. Both the EU and the U.S. have much larger economies than China. We are witnessing them gaining some footing, not taking over.

    If you are a strict utilitarian and think that authoritarian guidance will be more effective than the result of a collapse of the current government.

  21. Re:HTML5 for the win? Sorry, that's not a codec. on YouTube Revamp Imminent? · · Score: 1

    For all your rambling, the codec listed in the HTML5 draft matters a great deal less than the codecs present in the major browsers, and for the time being that means that they will continue to serve flash for IE, but they can also serve whatever formats are supported in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (if serving something other than flash actually makes sense).

    For the next 100 women you see, write down "I would" or "I wouldn't" for each one of them.

    Count the "I would"s. If you manage to do so in a location where you see women in general, rather than some location specific group that you are not attracted to (say, outside of a Curves or an old folks home), the number will likely be fairly reasonable.

    If "I wouldn't" doesn't work for you, just add " tell people about it" to each phrase.
