Interestingly, this is exactly the same method I use to weed out bad employers.

Maybe when the market's a bit worse I'll be forced to jump through one of these hoops. But right now...

I might have started with DOT. I get that this is more specialized, though. Nice work.

Weird. Lived here all my life, only time I've ever heard it is in "look at those wacky Yanks" conversations. South coast/London here. Maybe it's regional?

Maybe "display this resource text-only" rather than "hide this resource" would be a reasonable compromise.

An acceptable ads standard, in other words.

Subtle abuse of type juggling is the way to go in PHP

    var_dump(true == 'false');

Or you can overload library functions by abusing namespacing or runkit, but yeuch.

Yeah, but the BBC are rewriting an Assange press-release, not a Swedish press-release.

Github Firehose if it was me.

Something to build tools on top of.

You should check your stats some time and see how many of your users fail to load your JS, rather than are capable of loading your JS. You might be surprised, especially if you have lots of mobile traffic.

My college had an (experimental?) machine they got from Acorn that dual-booted into a 'nix OS. It got stuck in a corner and forgotten about, but if it had been a few years later I think it could have been an amazing project for them.

Free movement of goods, labour and capital. Miss out one and you don't have a free market, you're just being scammed.

Somebody should build that.

Why should governments and corps have all the fun? (Insert sousveillance/transparent society/David Brin rant here).

Are there any decent open source number plate recognition libraries yet?
