Ask Håkon About CSS or...?

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday June 20, 2006 @05:31AM from the partly-to-blame-for-web-2.0 dept.

Back in 1994, while working for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Håkon Wium Lie (pronounced more or less "how come") proposed the idea of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Got a CSS question? An Ajax question? Want to know why Håkon loves Free Software so much? Or something else, related or not? Go ahead and ask -- after checking some of the links above, so you don't duplicate questions he's answered in other interviews or in articles he's written. (One question per post, please.) We hope to post his answers Friday.

CSS Evolution

CSS is about intelligent design, not evolution!

Because of America harbors ursine evil. by Valdrax · 2006-06-20 06:36 · Score: 4, Funny

Free software is destroying american jobs. Why do you hate america?

Because America is known to harbor bears, godless killing machines without a soul that are a threat to free men everywhere. If you harbor bears you are bears.

Put a stop to America's bearrorism today.

If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").

Shouldn't that be: "What possessed you to develop the idea of Cascading Style Sheets?"

How about, "Now that the Slashdot community is aware of who is reponsible for CSS, do you think you need to go into hiding or at least get a bodyguard?"

Opera 9.0 seems to offer a lot of decent additions to Opera's standards pool. How satisfied are you personally with the work the team has done on implementing standards

Translation: I like Opera, please give them your blessings so that I may sleep at night.
