He co-founded GitHub and is the CEO presently. That will be good enough for you?

It's a limitation of Chrome. This isn't the first time that someone tried to use a local webserver to do something that Chrome doesn't allow. IIRC, there was someone that used a webserver to implement a hacky version of It'sAllText! for Chrome.

Unless you don't use Firefox and you tend to have a lot of dot files that you hack around with in your home directory. Then it starts to seem pretty awesome.

Chrome runs Greasemonkey-scripts, too. They are automatically converted to extensions in the background. Works very well. ( http://blog.chromium.org/2010/02/40000-more-extensions.html )

But I wouldn't call this useless. It's just another approach.

I really hate when "X is dead; long live X!" is misused like this. The original phrase is "The king is dead; long live the king!", used when the OLD king died and the NEW king takes over.

Googling around, I see tons of misuse: Example of bad usage: "White Stripes are dead (long live white stripes)"

Example of proper usage: "Palm is dead; long live Palm!" (this would mean that Palm got acquired or reformed) "Paper is dead; long live paper!" (could be proper if used in an article about how paper for PRINTING is dead but paper lives on in other forms)

They didn't say "The King Henry VIII is dead. Long live the King Edward VI". In the JavaScript article, The "OLD king" is "JavaScript the source language". The "NEW king" is "JavaScript the compilation target". So the idea of old and new is in there. Sort of. :-)

Yeah dude, mine was on the bigger list. It's a 10chr semi-random password (all lower case tho).

I pick passwords based on easy things to type and the memorize the pattern / commit it to muscle memory. I also try to use obscure but pronounceable patterns somewhere in the pass.

Tradehill is the new MtGox. They even copied the site design pretty much exactly.

KeePassX + Dropbox bro. It's only an alt-tab and a right-click -> log in to site on whatever you want to get into, once you enter your master password and/or present your password file.

Looks great but no Linux support. Since I use Ubuntu on my work (and home) laptop and netbook, this is largely useless for me.

KeePassX + Dropbox is a great way to go, but it's kind of more "DIY"-ish. Still not hard to set up, keeps all my passwords in sync, and KeePassX has some great features like "auto-type" which basically is a one-click website login.

I now use the max-length passwords on all the sites I use, and they're all crazy random ones. I don't memorize any of them because it's so easy to reset a password if I lost my KeePassX access (unlikely since it's on Dropbox + 4 computers + CrashPlan backups).

Yeah, I've gotten downvoted a lot for correcting people...but I think that not even approaching proper english makes you look like an idiot, so really, I'm helping.

We have some colocation clients who have a full cab of all XServes and Mac Pros (with OSX Server installed). One time, I asked what they run with all of that. They said "Ooh, we needed it to run Tomcat". Uhh....

I don't really understand the point of OSX Server beyond possibly render farms (for music / movies)

Small businesses, because they are very easy to manage.

More importantly though, Mac imaging. You can't run DeployStudio on anything but a Mac running OS X Server. So if you have more than 5-10 Macs to manage, having an OS X server around is a no brainer. It doesn't cost much and it makes managing & imaging Macs as simple or simpler than PCs. This is by far its most legitimate use.
