i think i found the source of the leak named root. either way, i don't use named roots there any more, so they are not leaked. kudos to the tips on spidermonkey garbage collection from jeff watkins. in my previous efforts to track down these leaks, i had written something based on his idea in C, but hadn't used it until now.
anyway, i put up a new release before i go and implement XHR.
the other day i applied for health insurance. there were pages of online forms to fill out, and they ask you to verify that the information is correct, but i wasn't paying attention and didn't notice that i accidentally misypted my weight - reporting myself as 100 lbs heavier than i actually am.
i tried to think of a better way of making people verify their forms, and i came up with the following: go through the list of fields randomly, and present the user with their answer for that field. below this, offer them a choice of 4 possible options as to what that field is. it's pretty easy - they can recognize that their street address is their street address - and i think it would be easier for them to spot typos this way.
