And that can be stuffed up with prior bottle use, so not so sure if that's even true.

Not knowing what is text and what is a link just kills me. We went through lots of this in the webs early days. We had icons for navigation and experimental flash navigation. But it made for mystery meat navigation - and in the end we re

I didn't read it like that. More the joy of exploring another language.

Please can someone paraphrase the implications of this. It's hard for me to understand.

When you have population growth (or non-native settlers), they prop up the old. It's a pyramid scheme.

It's just insidious though isn't it? There's a scare that we might have internet connected energy meters. You end up with dozens of devices that have connectivity and you don't actually know what they do. I have a sat

It's an odd problem. My partner insists on keeping a shopping list. But mostly I remember what we have in the fridge and store cupboard, as I frequently cook. I don't actually forget that many items when shopping. Toothpaste I

I don't see why we can't semantically define menus and tasks. And have different interfaces that can just plug into these. So if you don't want titles - fine - use a different window manager or style. I can think of many be

I'm a freelance programmer without much self-worth, and currently no work. Given the right environment, people and projects (for me), I know I'd be happier and wealthier, and may even thrive. Rather than the abandonment that I&#

Or rather rubbing shoulders is usually used to describe networking, though if you are mingling with the great and the good/important or famous, hobnobbing may have been a better term.

We worked out recently that we spent under £20 pcm on gas and electric over the last year. 2 people, washing machine, fridge, 2 x laptop, LED lights, 1 LED TV, and gas heating. Admittedly we only put on heating in the evening for an hour o

We've been forever waiting for Linux on the desktop! In as much as a very polished desktop distro. Never seems to come along. Even Ubuntu haven't managed it. Given fixed hardware I'm sure it would still be a challenge. It

Many CGI scripts were coded like this. Here is an example in C: https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/cgic.html Php was born out of trying to reduce a lot of that cruft and blending code and html output easily. A

They could be a bit more innovative with infrastructure building, like creating glass from the desert sand using solar: https://vimeo.com/25401444 Not sure if it would do clear panes but could be used for pipe work and scaf

Exactly it may take years and lots of heat energy extraction, but the Earth could end up cold. I don't think it's a renewable. On the flip side you can do this the other way round: trap solar in a heat store below ground, piping

A rather good point about the Mediterranean being used as a shipping channel! There would still need to be huge canals.

I read that the mid-west (not sure if that's the correct location) in north America had heavily depleted water tables because of irrigation. When that evaporates off, where does that water go? Is it destined to stay over North Americ

Why not the whole bay in the plan?

Taking the move a mountain idiom a little too far.

Moving water really enhances places aesthetically. I noticed that the disused Clyde docklands in Glasgow (UK), were being filled in a few years back. A missed opportunity for waterside property.

I appreciate that a web shop could want for more than basic html representation. Although arguably there is something already like this: http://schema.org/Product . A search API? But yes, good templates go a long way.

I think what saddens me with web programming, is constant rewrites of the same old projects, that pretty much do the same thing. As a community we'd be better to focus on a few core APIs like a web shop or a booking app. A church or s

I wrote a simple web app to work with last.fm's api. A little fiddly, but in essense it worked. Somewhere buried in settings were all the apps that have access to my account. I then went back to Spotify and noticed it wanted my usern

That's funny, I'd even viewed the source looking for a date, and totally missed the url! Not so sure that urls should be any more than a uniqid - should they have semantic meaning? Discuss... No don't. Ta.

Most people open pages in new tabs? Really? I have a family member that still can only cope with one tab.

Frames were brilliant. It's just they had a few unpleasant side effects, that could have been ironed out given the will. One html menu/navigation as a frame that was editable in one place without resorting to programming languag
