If you did this, I would buy one before the takedown hit.

Heh - I was thinking the same thing. Anyone got a font suggestion?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dumb javascript question.

Say I have an array b. Why is it that when I do this:

b[i] += intTmp;

with intTmp being a Number object that's = 2, b[i] ends up being NaN? Can't you use += on an array?

Oops - doesn't look like custom skins are searchable once the order is placed. Sorry Amych!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think you have to use intTmp.valueOf

Oops, I had the array set up wrong. So the initial values were 'undefined' - once I fixed that, it works.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No worries, Jess -- I can always do my own!

Google Public DNS Aims to Speed Up Your Browsing

Google today launched a new, free DNS service—called Google Public DNS—aimed at making your web browsing experience even faster.

...

Google Public DNS, then, aims to replace your ISP's default DNS with a (hopefully) faster, safer, and more reliable alternative. Google Public DNS isn't the first freely available alternate DNS we've seen. Previously mentioned OpenDNS is an excellent DNS alternative (it boasts keyboard shortcuts, parental filters, and more), but—for better or worse—we're guessing that even more people may be interested in Google's offering.

Tests of its performance: Move Over OpenDNS, Google DNS is Here and It Rocks

In my tests, Google DNS consistently outperformed both OpenDNS and Level 3. For Americans the Level 3 server (4.2.2.2) might offer as good performance as Google. But if you are living outside US and you care about your browsing experience you should switch now :). The results are below
