Pixels in CSS are actually not equivalent to screen pixels. Read the spec for details.
In this case, IE is broken because it doesn't allow scaling of text with size specified in pixels. Not that it makes it any less of an accessibility problem in the Real World(TM)...
I know this was a joke, but actually, Common Lisp is a multiparadigmatic language. It has far better support for functional programming than mainstream languages, but that's just due to its very general nature, and pure functional programming is not as easy in CL as in, say, Haskell. CL has good support for imperative-style programming - it even has GOTO! CL was the first standardized object-oriented programming languages, with the Common Lisp Object System (predating C++ by a few years). Logic programming is not built into CL, but through macros, very extensive support for logic programming may be implemented (Prolog-in-Lisp is not too difficult, for instance).
So, if you're going to shoot yourself in the foot, CL is like the gun store that will let you shoot yourself in the foot any damn way you want.;-)
If H2G2 is supposed to be a kid-suitable film, how in the world was DNA planning on working merkins into the plot? (I mean, I know Zaphod has "two heads" and all, but sheesh...)
How do we know that the "Norad exercise" was not in fact 9/11? Islamofascist hijackers? More like shapeshifting reptilian bureaucrats.
Excuse me for a moment while I open my tin-foil umbrella...
You're getting tags mixed up. It's the MARQUEE tag that isn't supported in presidential memos. However, the same functionality is available as "Freedom BLINK."
It's not easy being green!
Americans also tend to stereotype swamp-dwellers as being foul-smelling and having odiously bad manners, but I'll have you know that all thirty-four (34) swamp-dwellers I am acquainted with smell fresh as a waffle...
The article refers to Graham as a "lisp hacker". This is incorrect. The proper spelling is "Lisp hacker". Like "God", the word "Lisp" must be capitalized to show proper respect; otherwise SHRDLU may eat your firstborn child. Carry on...
I never understood why people are so interested in miniaturizing the Library of Congress. Where the hell do they find tiny librarians for the nanolibraries?
I guess now we now for sure where the foundanion is headed. The new Netscape can probably take the place of a lot of the suite.
Congratulations, you completely bastardized the intelligence of the typical mid-twenties slashdotter by defecating all over our spelling and grammar rules with a single sentence.
!! Congrulation! U shit on mathtelligence of slashdoter by craping all over r COUNTING rules in a single sentence!
Who are you going to sue if your proprietary tax software screws up? You do realize that proprietary software vendors take no responsibility for their software fucking up, right? Pretty much every proprietary software license includes a very comprehensive no-warranty clause; you'd be hard-pressed to find one without a no-warranty clause. Who were you going to sue, again? Microsoft Corporation? Unlikely!
True, free software _also_ includes such disclaimers, but your perception that proprietary software is "safer" because you'll have someone to sue is not grounded in reality.
Linus Torvalds Proclaims MS OSes Obsolete
He says 'Microsoft's operating systems are obsolete. By obsolete, I don't just mean that they're broken, flawed or buggy, though a case could be made for every one of those points. By obsolete, I mean their operating systems even when they're working as designed cannot perform all all the tasks they need to perform today.'"
Well, here we have a device to power one's phone with air, and earlier we were introduced to the BatMax battery sticker, which was total snake oil. I suspect that by combining the two technologies, one could obtain a phone powered by snake gas... but then, of course, one would have to be exceedingly careful with it, to avoid breaking it and letting the magic smoke out...

The fembots used to just run around and circles and got confused when they ran into a corner.
Funny, I had an alarm clock like that once...

Someday you'll call your google to remind your google to go to the google to pick up more google for your google

Fans? Baah, this is slashdot, we have phase-change hypercooling with neon lights!
They were going to be upsourced?
But the kittens! Won't somebody PLEASE think of the kittens?!
