"it's faster" - but where are the numbers?


I think he meant faster as in executed before, rather than in executed faster.


Still doesn't answer the question: how much earlier is it executed? I would like to know.


actually, the script doesn't make any sense because it would be executed as soon as the browser is idling, that is after it has rendered the dom completely, that is when the DOMContentLoaded event fires. The right way to run a script right after an element has been created is to place the script right after the element closing tag.

You still can use it for setting late binding event handlers though.


It's using DOMNodeInserted (when available), which does fire as each element is created.


But why? "[tick] I accept cookies from this site... what is a cookie?" a user may ask.

I may be missing something, but character encoding menu is right there when you click Firefox button. 9nth entry from the top for me.


Doesn't look like its working for me on Latest Chrome 10, Win 7. No dots :(


Chrome 10 + Win 7 here also, I see lots of dots! :)


Chrome 10 on OS X here, working perfectly.


jedsmith: Since it's so resource intensive, it rate limits when not focused in order to not waste your CPU.


Fair enough, but it did not resume normally when I gave it focus again.

Any time the main canvas doesn't have focus, it slows down the update to ease CPU burn.


Umm, actually you can revert to previous versions.

Google docs saves revisions of every edit: File -> Show Revision History (Could be slightly different, because i translated them from my localized google docs)


Aaah, thanks! I hadn't realised that.


Well, not "so wrong". For example pic 10. Today we call it skype with webcamera. And it doesn't even need a footpedal. :)


They even got the helicopter and humvee right (sort of).

The people in 1900s have over-estimated the usage of robotic arms. We don't have that kind of arms working on human yet, but we do have them on automotive manufacturing.


Yes, they were in the age of mechanization and the easy prediction was "everything will be mechanized"


The projector thing is really a very accurate prediction. Since there is no such concept at that simply a light bulb could produce a clear imaging of some remote users, without using any prerecorded films.

The French started experimenting with helicopters in 1906, so it's not that surprising.

We don't have robotic arms in consumer products yet (I believe this will change in the next 10 years), but they are pervasive in the manufacturing industry in general, not just in the automotive manufacturing.

Why do you believe that?

The best use I've come up with for them is for disabled people - a *plegic with a robot arm on a desk able to manipulate post, or on wheels able to be an avatar in the real world.

But that's the sort of profitable insurance-funded medical use which still isn't around. Currently they only exist in consumer space in the arm-for-amputees sense, and in the Lego Technics sense, and I expect that to continue, but where else would they start appearing for consumer products?


I think I could replicate that set up right now. Webcam attached to the wall below my projector. Anybody else with a projector want to make this a reality? ;)


It would actually be very cool to build a "Skype videoconferencing device" using the steampunk-ish parts shown in that picture.


This sequence helps not to: 1. Reinvent the wheel


The only thing is when you have black colors, it blends with the background. Take for example mickey: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7f/Mickey_M...

Thanks for letting us know - I posted an issue in GitHub (https://github.com/carsonified/brickify/issues/issue/2) and I'll try to take a stab at fixing it sometime in the near future.


It's called OpenID. However it won't send you a link, but will just ask you to press "Yes, Log in" button.
