It is still need to be parsed and run. And then they wonder why browsers are slow and memory hungry.
You're right, it must be jQuery. After all, those 20MB images have nothing to do with memory usage. And I forgot every web developer is second in talent only to God (or other deity). </sarcasm>
This is why I hate javascript libraries like jQuery. The resulting code looks incomprehensible to someone who couldn't be bothered to spend five minutes leaning the basics of jQuery.
By 'marksman', I was thinking of professionally trained marksmen, but then Olympic athletes could also count. Of course, if you train with a specific rifle, doesn't necessarily make you a marksman with other rifles. Ultimately though, I don't think this is enough to erode the point I was trying to make, which is that the shots were not impossible.
A lone guy with a P.O.S. bolt action Italian rifle that wasn't even sighted in properly, firing from a bad angle, who managed to fire 3 shots in 5 seconds and score 2 hits on a moving target? Not only is that impossible
Difficult, but not impossible. Any well-trained marksman would be able to make those shots.
In driver's ed, you're specifically taught to drive 5-10 under the limit
Sorry, but that's stupid. I was always taught to drive at the speed limit when safe to do so. In fact, when being tested, you can be failed for going too slowly.
Then you'd have an entire country of drivers staring at their speedos instead of looking at the road.
Not me. I'd go 5 mph or more below the speed limit.
Is the safer driver the one who can drive closest to the edge of a mountain road without falling off, or the one who stays as far from the edge as possible?
Very poor comparison, as it is possible to be dangerously slow.
Yes. If you are going fast enough that if the light changed you wouldn't be able to go through it before it turns red, and you wouldn't be able to stop before the line then you are driving too fast for the current conditions.
Good advice. Unfortunately, I don't know the precise timing of all the 25,000+ traffic lights in my country.

Yes, because that's the only one. Apart from Red Hat, Fedora, openSUSE, Mint, Slackware, CentOS, Mandriva...

if you're a windows phone developer you just had an optional migration to windows 8 on your development kit

I can always choose not to use Google, but where do I turn when my own computer OS is data-mining my privacy back to Redmond?
Linux.
What's stopping you?
because Microsoft isn't good at allowing IE versions to sit side-by-side.
And by that you mean you can't do it at all. MS sometimes is nice and supplies VMs with new versions of IE preinstalled, but not always.
Try this - it's a bit of a hack job, but it does bundle the genuine versions of Trident for each IE.
Think it was a year or so after the PS3 was out that new PS2 games finally stopped coming
Much, much longer than that - new PS2 games were still coming as recently as Q4 2012!
This should help
the average jQuery download per page is way less than 80KB
The minified jQuery 1.9.1 is 91KB. Still small enough for your 'Net connection to barely notice though.

Xbox live was shut down a few years ago
That's funny - I was signed into it only a few days ago. Maybe you're thinking of game-specific services.
True - it's still dangerous though.

if you've used your mod points in a discussion, you can still comment in it anonymously and not lose them
That's wrong though.
Sign out first.

Start braking a bit earlier.
You mean when the light is still green?
Yes, all defensive drivers will prepare to stop when approaching a set of traffic lights. This means I'll lift my foot off of the accelerator.
So you slow down with warning, even when it's safer to maintain constant speed. Well done on making the roads just a little more dangerous for all.
And how would that work with lights I come to for the first time?
And what's that got to do with doing 25 in a 75 zone?

Sorry, but that's stupid. I was always taught to drive at the speed limit when safe to do so. In fact, when being tested, you can be failed for going too slowly.
Do 25mph on a dry 75mph road and tell me it's safe.
Not me. I'd go 5 mph or more below the speed limit.

Which is an optional extra on most cars. An option the first owner of my current car didn't have fitted.
No idea, as I'm British. And funnily enough, slowing for a green is considered bad form. You'd be marked down for it during a test.
Yes. If you are going fast enough that if the light changed you wouldn't be able to go through it before it turns red, and you wouldn't be able to stop before the line then you are driving too fast for the current conditions.

insure than anyone who speeds _even a little_ is instantly ticketed
Then you'd have an entire country of drivers staring at their speedos instead of looking at the road.
