So they're promoting Google. So does Bing. Is this a problem? When you visit a Microsoft site with any browser but Chrome, you get an ad pushing IE. Is that a problem, too?

>President George W. Bush’s Administration invoked the prospect of mushroom clouds rising above American cities to justify its wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Not true at all! Afghan…

Why so serious? EDIT: I knew that would get a laugh. It was a good joke. I chortled. I don't get offended by every off-hand phrase in life when no one's hurt in the process. If you…

If you're a home builder, I would expect you to already have what you need to build one, and not running elsewhere to buy parts that everyone uses on their houses, too. Unless you'…

Try telling that to most noobish programmers, and all redditors, and see where it gets you. I can't agree more with all your comments here but I've been downvoted into oblivion for…

I use a pad of paper. I have lots of pads of paper. None of them did I have to purchase. They were given to me at work or elsewhere for free. So refills are free, too. Without cran…

"I can't think of one" as a username screams "asshole who thinks he knows it all"? Wow. You should hear my thoughts now.

One quick example. Certain elements are, or can be made to be, "inline" which gets them treated the same as characters on a line. Thus those elements, such as an image, will have w…

So don't tell the truth? It's interesting that people on Hacker News are intimidated so easily when confronted with such things.

Quit reading stupid articles written by out-of-work people with nothing better to do.

Complaints such as his, and most of the comments so far below, show a total lack of knowledge of the science and underpinnings behind the whole thing and the only supported proof t…

Invalid markup means you are relying on the browser to read your intent or your mind. They are very good at doing that but no self-respecting web developer would ever do such an in…

Because whitespace matters in HTML.

You are confused. HTML is used to describe the structure of the document, not its visuals. CSS has nothing to do with the HTML content so your complaint about the property/value th…

Not when you know what you're doing and don't use auto code generators.

OT but, on Chrome and Firefox on FreeBSD, all the images and most of the text have the opacity of the images set to zero in their CSS and I can only see a couple of headlines. I pr…

So, you mean like Unix/Linux/BSD always has?

You can come up with all kinds of "what ifs" while forgetting our (in the US) system of checks and balances which protestors forget about and want to circumvent by creating vigilan…

Straw man arguments all the way around with plenty of assumptions. You presume the government's intention is to monitor him and watch his every move to work against him. The fact i…

His point is the last half. He's not a "person of interest" in these surveillance activities so it doesn't concern him; and it shouldn't.

No. I have no need to. There are better things to do with my time. It's like saying I won't drive my car on the street because the police are watching you. But the police are looki…

Tell me when you've found better. In the meantime, you didn't say anything about the other test. Suffice to say, if IE11 was that great, they wouldn't be dumping it and rewriting. …

I said, "You don't know what you're talking about and shouldn't be replying here!"

Where do you find something like this there?
