How do I force ASP.NET Ajax to use a script from the FS and not WebResource.axd, or to reduce its HTTP requests?
Here is a hum-dinger of a problem that I have not found an answer for. I am using the ASP.NET ajax control toolkit controls on a few pages, which by nature want to load script resources via WebResource.axd.

Forcing Google Analytics Tracking Code to Sleep
To use Google Analytics, you put some JavaScript code in your web page which will make an asynchronous request to Google when the page loads.

Is there any generalities in the cost of executing an instruction in javascript?
I was wondering, if there is any generalities (among all the javascript engines out there) in the cost related to execute a given instruction vs another.

I want to write a desktop OSX or Windows app in Javascript -- any experiences?
I'd like to write some small applications for Windows and OSX. Portable is good.
