If this is object oriented then his approach can best be likened to multiple inheritance. Because CSS doesn't offer any kind of native inheritence he's forced to redefine each and every class for each instance. This is the equivalent of def

IE (with certain settings on) is sending page data back to Microsoft. If it sends the URL, title and referrer back then the following session is pretty easy to reverse engineer. 1. URL: "test - Google" Title: http://www.google.

I find these overly soppy ads a bit baffling. Ads in Australia and UK are nowhere near as sickly sweet. Perhaps we are a bit more cynical.

While the tab behaviour is good, the close buttons are hopelessly small. They are a tiny 12px by 12px on Windows. Compare this to the close window buttons, which are 64px by 24px. Compounding the error is the poor choice of middle-click as

The more I read from 1000memories the less I like the concept. The entire of the premise seems insensitive from the outset, but the cold analysis they do in their blog posts makes it feel like they're more interested in growsing their busin

Amazon's API format is irrelevant because their service is so popular. Once the API is stable and client libraries are available for common languages most developers will be unaware of the actual mechanics. If you're launching a startup the

Firefox's prompts are a pain in the neck. "Do you want to install the latest Firefox?" No! I want to browse the web. That's why I opened my browser. Every time I get that message I groan because I know I should upgrade but I don't want to

I've found that the quality of a PHP project tends to be fairly independant of whether it uses a templating library. One benefit of Smarty is that it forces at least some seperation of business and display logic. People will still try and

You went through a machine which took photos of your naked body without your knowledge and you don't see a problem with that? I went through a machine in Amsterdam last year and was super pissed when I realised, after going through, what it

If it's really that much of a problem why haven't you tried sleeping pills? I use them occasionally and they definately help, but they don't knock you out. If you're drinking alcohol to put yourself to sleep you're incapacitating yourself a

"Manage your game online and integrate our open source libraries in your code, its that easy." That should be "It's". No comma and an apostrophe. I have to agree with the other commenters that this needs a better landing page. I had no idea

You might be better off getting the canonical path and then checking against a whitelist. E.g. `strpos(realpath($command_path), '/var/www/html/') === 0`.

Agreed, this is exactly like the old "you need Netscape 3.7.5.1 to view this page", except this time you need to shell out $500 for a whole new device.

We got rid of our one and two cent coins in Australia in 1992. Likewise, you're correct about New Zealand not having 1, 2 or 5 cent coins.
