Overheard in Incheon Airport as I was flying out ... two American guys were discussing their favorite airports.

Guy 1: "Dude, Incheon Airport is SO nice"
Guy 2: "Man, I don't think so. O'Hare is so much nicer"
(Editor's note: WTF?! O'Hare sucks!)
Guy 1: "What?! Are you serious?!"
Guy 2: "Yeah man. All the stores here are the same. O'Hare has a better selection of stores."
Guy 1: "Dude, it's an airport, not a f'ing mall."
Guy 2: (Silence)

Police quietly arresting spam offenders: Federal and state law enforcement agencies have quietly arrested or charged dozens of people with crimes related to junk e-mail, identity theft and other online scams in recent weeks, according to several people involved in the actions.

Excellent.

Oh yeah, Quentin Tarantino got a blog. A real one. Fun to read.

Tonight I decided to finally implement a quick little feature that has been bothering me for the longest time ... the commenting process is a lot smoother and idiot-proof.

Commenting has always been kind of slow (this is a universal thing once you get a large system, and not limited just to Tabulas, although the problem is exacerbated because of the lack of hardware).

Because of the lag, people would always double-post comments or just get impatient. Sometimes the DB locks up and then people have to wait longer than they want to.

In any case, upon comment form submission, the submit button disables itself, so no more double posted comments. It also redirects you to a page that "processes" the comment so you know something's happening. Most of the time, the "COMMENT POSTED" message should come out along with the "Please wait" message ... but sometimes when the server lags, you will actually have to wait.
