CSS To Get Support For Trigonometry Functions (zdnet.com)

CSS, or the language that styles and arranges how page elements appear on a website, will soon get support for trigonometry functions such as sine, cosine, tangent, and others, ZDNet is reporting. From the report: The new trigonometry functions were approved at the end of February in a meeting of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) CSS Working Group. The new functions approved and set to join the CSS standard are: Sine - sin(), cosine - cos(), tangent - tan(), arccosine - acos(), arcsine - asin(), arctangent - atan(), arctangent (of two numbers x and y) - atan2(), square root - sqrt(), square root of the sum of squares of its arguments - hypot(), and power of - pow().

A nerd was invited to compete in the Trigonometry Mathletic Competition...
he said:
"Sine me up!"

Catholics fail trigonometry because they're afraid of sin
Irish people fail trigonometry because they can't tan.
Everyone else fails trigonometry just cos.

My girlfriend has a trigonometry fetish.
Every time we talk, she gets off on a tangent.

My teacher frowned at me when I handed in my trigonometry test paper.
I don't think that's a good sine

A lot of people around here seem to base a lot of their perceptions and priorities on what things were like 15 years ago.

That's pretty much Slashdot in a nutshell. Shoot, say something like systemd, wayland, Java performance, IPv6 deployment, or cloud computing and you're likely to get a stack of punch cards thrown at you for being a heretic.

Punch cards? Damned whippersnappers. Paper tape is all you need you little snots! Now, get off my lawn!
