Some acronyms are common enough (SSL, DRM, etc) but others are more rare and those who work in the field may take their knowledge for granted.
The thing is, nerds now have a lot more domains than before. If I say CSS, those who work in video and broadcasting will think Content Scramble System, those who work with websites will think Cascading Style Sheets, others will probably have yet another meaning for it.
Ah, the whole "do we render things before we have the font" idea... it's brilliant if you're on a slow connection otherwise it's pretty annoying.
I guess they should build a timeout for that... if you don't get the font within x seconds or before z% of the page has finished loading, display the text in a regular font first. Or some similar idea or even a user setting. People probably know if they're on a slow connection or not.
It makes sense if all you look at is the pixels themselves, just like it would make sense for the USPS to crush all packages into four inch cubes so they can be shipped more easily.;)
I was saying that no other browser is limited to Windows, so it's kind of normal that no other browsers tries to hook deeply into the OS functions as IE does.
And FYI, not everyone uses Windows. The only time I "use" Windows is to test websites in IE6 and IE7, and Windows XP is trapped in a virtual computer.
How does IE7+ have the best implementation of @font-face? The other browsers support it too. The whole thing about the file formats and the licensing just gives me a headache, though...
Apple tries to render the font as precisely as possible. Microsoft tries to hammer the font into sub-pixels as much as possible. You end up with deformed fonts and edges that are way too sharp.
Bill Gates, like me, probably knows less than you about mechanical engines. If the explanations made sense and he had the numbers to back it up, Bill gave him funding. It doesn't mean it was the most efficient solution, it just means it's better than what most cars use today.
What about low-cost hybrids, with electric motors that recharge a supercapacitor when breaking and slowing down? I don't know the prices, but I'm guessing a supercapacitor would cost a lot less than batteries, wouldn't need replacing (or at least not nearly as much as batteries) and would give that urban stop-n-go boost required because of driving in traffic.
If he can sell a car at the same price or lower than other conventional cars on the market, that will substantially lower how much people pay at the pump and to drive around, he's already got people lined out for buying.
I browse with Flash disabled. When someone says "there's a link to the video", it should be a link to the video, not the video itself.
It also uses the old, deprecated embed tag, which embeds a (probably) H.264 video inside a Flash player when Safari is capable of playing the video file by itself.

Is sure does. Good thing my name's not Joe!
And they better not come up with an umbrella term! The last thing we need is zombie browsers.

So what you're saying is that I'm not crazy for doing things like declaring 1.15em so they all end up the same size in all browsers?

The text in Firefox always end up like half a point too big compared to Safari, Chrome and Opera.
No other browser is limited to Windows.
It remains to be seen if IE9 supports rounded CSS corners, shadows, etc... And what about the file API and XmlHttpRequest uploads?
I can't test as all I have is Windows XP inside VMWare.
Neutrinos, livers... it's all the same thing to you, eh?

Electricity is not made with coal everywhere in the world. In a lot of places it's nuclear, solar, wind or hydro-electricity.

Not to mention that an electric motor doesn't weight as much as a air/fuel engine, which means a lighter vehicle.
Someone's broken code doesn't display in my browser, I say that fact and that's trolling? Some people shouldn't have mod points at all.
Simon games are red, blue, yellow, green. Not the same order.
The Android logo is a green robot...
The Chrome logo looks like Samus in morph ball mode.
Simon says blue-blue-red-green-yellow-green-yellow-blue-red.
Video which is hosted on YouTube on top of it all. It would have been easier to link directly to YouTube.
I browse with Flash disabled. When someone says "there's a link to the video", it should be a link to the video, not the video itself.
It also uses the old, deprecated embed tag, which embeds a (probably) H.264 video inside a Flash player when Safari is capable of playing the video file by itself.
The fact that it's the same broken, deprecated "embed tag" for the video in both the summary and the company website is also a mere coincidence.
Is it a big coincidence, or is there someone at 8pen who's a Neo-Geo fan?
