You have a syntax error after the "else", it should be "{" rather than "(".
Also, you might want to consider randomly choosing between invokeGodwinsLaw and invokeRule34

Next thing people will be misspelling 'colour' everywhere, or something equally ludicrous.
Does this not strike anyone else as a massive slashvertisement post? Surely some of the elements mentioned could be extracted to create an article about Android UI design that uses Firefox as a case study; I could see that being relevant to at least some of the/. audience. Or it could have been pared right back to say: there's a new version of Firefox for Android in the works. Instead we have essentially a dump of the changelog of an in-development app. As it is, this is not news.

Consider a hypothetical "evolutionary space", which has room for a certain number of instances of traits. For example, an ecosystem might be able to support 5k big awesome carnivores, or 20k small lame ones, or some ratio of the two. Now imagine such a space as it stood right near the end of the dinosaurs. When the dinosaurs were around, the "space" was full, the only evolutionary "improvements" that could take place were ones that were super effective. Then poof! dinos are gone; a lot more space is available. There is an explosion in evolution.
Think of it this way: if there are suddenly no highly evolved and effective dinosaurs around, there are fewer competitors for resources, so evolutionary traits that might otherwise have been less effective (and bred out of the gene pool) are suddenly not so bad; so they're allowed to hang around. And those traits can lead to other wacky traits, and the diversity grows exponentially, until it's your own children who are consuming the resources/out-evolving their siblings/filling the space.
Pretty sure that at this point they don't care that much about the money. I'm inclined to believe Angus when he says he cares about it from an artistic experience perspective.
Still doesn't explain the sale of singles and radio play, though.
I use webkit browsers. Therefore your assertion that we all don't is incorrect.
And for the record most of us webdevs used:
-webkit-border-radius:...
-moz-border-radius:...
-o-border-radius:...
-ms-border-radius:.../* just in case */
border-radius:...
until we got sick of it and dropped all the prefixed versions.
You remember the parable of the space pen? How the pragmatic socialists used a pencil instead? And then the dare-to-dream capitalists ended up winning the cold war, because they were willing to explore interesting things and discover new tech and ideas and stuff, even when a simpler solution was obvious?
Yeah, that.
CS is not programming, and programming is not CS. Which raises a new question, when people in this discussion or the article or anywhere else say "programming" what exactly do they mean?
On planet Earth, weight and mass) are roughly the same thing
Er, sure, except that they're completely different, because "weight" is a force, measured in newtons (or some scaled variant thereof) and mass is a fundamental property, measured in kilograms (or some scaled variant thereof). Don't go bringing any weird American "1 pound ~= 1 pound" nonsense in here.
TFA actually addresses that explicitly. In fact, it's the thrust of the entire article. "As I type this, I’m sitting ~32 inches away from a 27-inch monitor with a resolution of 1920×1080, or 81.59 PPI. At that distance, my monitor would need to pack at least 107 PPI (pixels per inch) in order to qualify as a Retina display."

Actually, yesterday here in Australia is today in backwards regions like the USA.

Well, only if it's a Free FMOOC.

I, as a web developer, have never used "radius-border", since the property is "border-radius"

I wish I had points to mod this up. So much anti-Microsoft vitriol, no one even noticed that the contested CSS property is written wrong.

When you say "House" you mean "US Congress," right? Not "fictional tv doctor."
