<sarcasm> hahaha I love it. Better yet: Do your roads support horses? Many people own horses in America still[0] Have they got to the destination yet? FACT: All people who are not traveling, are not traveling by horseback. --socrates If you're on a highway and suddenly the edgecase of therebeing a fuckton of cars going fast on it occurs, suddenly they have to swerve to avoid a random cowboy and get in an accident, then they don't make it to their destination. Do your interstate or inter-province highways prevent horses? Loads of them do[1] You wouldn't download a car[2]? </sarcasm> ================================== Look, I get it, provide a good user experience. That's fine, I appreciate that. However, javascript is pretty ubiquitous, so what the fuck are people supposed to do? Check headers and sniff browser on every request (something the parent article implied was negative), then send 2 sets of javascript to the user, one to call a cdn, and one to call a local script if download fails or cdn not cached? Check if cdn is cached every time? I mean, sure there is some pretty good practices out there and you should be cognizant of that, but if you are just sending out a cat picture because you're a bored 16 year old kid learning how to use a new web technology like webgl, are we supposed to hold you to 5 9's worth of uptime and backwords compatability all the way to mosaic. Here is the answer (my answer really) you can do whatever the fuck you want, to the extent that wtfyw overlaps with what your users want, you can keep them.

Numbers began to rebound somewhat, and by 1968 there were about 7 million horses, mostly used for riding. In 2005, there were about 9 million horses.
