In practice, professional "Carers" end up driving everyone into a frenzy about the latest fad issue. Tilting at these windmills skews the economy (in the sense that you mean it) much more than simply looking at the dollars does.
Those were the days. I think the watermelon environmentalists have revealed their true colors when they define "pollution" as "anything that humans put out".
I don't want my datacenter to start using doing things in a supposedly "green" way for any of the following reasons:
a) because a government forces them to
b) because an activist forces them to
c) because they think it'll be a selling point
d) because they believe its the Right Thing (tm)
The ONLY reason that I want my datacenter to switch to "Green" power is if and when it is CHEAPER to do so.
Any other reason will make data more expensive, slowing down the economy. It will be rife with unintended consequences. It will be more feel-good, accomplish-nothing "Green" activism.
How about we build some refineries for the short term and nuke plants for the long term, and solve everything?
The author appears to endorse the use of innerHTML as opposed to DOM manipulation.
I suppose it has its place in a performance analysis, but mention might be made that it's just not worth the trading off standards compliance and futureproofing. When I see innerHTML being manipulated I assume the designer didn't know what he was doing.
OOXML is such a foul, repugnant anti-standard, and it will be pushed so hard, that if it's accepted it will severely damage the whole idea of interoperability standards.
ODF implementations have been written for countless office apps. Getting that out is not mutually exclusive with fighting OOXML.
You don't have a problem with the validator, you have a problem with the specification. That's what demands an alt attribute for the img tag.
And you notice how it's considered valid when you have alt=""? That's because you're right, not every image requires alternate text. But the spec does require that you make that determination for every image.
I've lived in New Orleans and Austin. Austin does the pause, and New Orleans doesn't. I think that can be generalized to Texas and Louisiana, but of course I haven't been everywhere in either state.
It's ISO-8859-1, which is what the meta tag and the HTTP headers for this site say it should be. Which seems very strange.
I tried flipping it to UTF-8 manually and it didn't seem to make any difference. But it does seem like the backend is having character set problems.
Do you not see the same gibberish?
What has minimum wage got to do with anything? That's just an arbitrary number set by politicians. What if there wasn't one, would your argument then tell us that nobody made any money at all? You're going to have to come up with some numbers involving actual wages paid to compare to your numbers on inflation. And I doubt that's very easy to do.

That's interesting news. Do you know (or have a link) why, and what they're replacing them with?
That's true, but is that view useful in practice?

Seems like anything that's colliding with us would have to be pretty "near", doesn't it?

I couldn't tell you how aggressive the over-the-air compression is compared to Blu-ray, but standard HD broadcasting is most definitely compressed.

Anybody know what's causing that apostrophe gibberish?
Was it an "a" to "o" transposition?
That would be the Four Color Problem.

Really? I don't see anything different between the two. Neither one has an "http" before the red text.
This sums it up.

Notice how the scale on one of them says 470nm? Isn't that something in the neighborhood of green?Unreal!
(I think they may have faked the color.....)

Your comment is startling to skim quickly without instantly remembering exactly what "Head-On" is...
You're likely to cause a rant by UbuntuDupe.... Nobody wants that.

With an absence of scarcity. A lot of economic rules (not all, but a lot) simply don't apply to software in the age of the Internet.
