No they don't; they carry on using them for entirely inappropriate things. Like tables for layout.

I feel a major problem here is that what we're using the medium for has evolved massively since it was first considered. The article suggests having special definitions for common elements, like header, footer and menu bars. What happens in

Awesome idea. But anyone know why flying around the US is so much more expensive than flying around Europe? Flights out of LAX start at $80, and you'll barely get past Colorado until around $200. From London, they start from $30 and you can

I'm also interested in becoming a 'first time mac buyer'. As such, I have some questions: - Do these offer a significant enough improvement over the last generation to justify not buying a refurbed older model? - What's the real conceptual

I moved to the US from the UK over a year ago and I can't find words to describe the feeling of not having the NHS to rely on. This whole new world of potential disaster has opened up. It's something you've never had to think about before t

After I posted this, I did some googling and noticed that people have been using it for a while - but the new menu suddenly appeared above my gmail inbox for the first time this afternoon. Strange.

There may be no bubble, but there's definitely an echo.

I was actually referring to the cloud of people who may be planning on participating in an eventual IPO rather than those who have already invested.

That's what I'm asking. I don't think it's particularly clear cut. If the people pumping up the value of Facebook are thinking strategically about the tech sector - and see Facebook as the best place in the tech sector to put their money -

I've been wondering recently - a phenomenal amount of money and investor excitement is circling around these few big companies. If it turns out that they are overvalued and the 'bubble' does burst, does this mean there could suddenly be a

Definitely; I'm from the UK and just took my California driving test - it's amazing how simple it is! Didn't even have to reverse around any corners. Although I've never had to do that outside of my British driving test, either...

They're only confusing because there aren't any rules! A significant part of learning to drive in Britain is learning how to use roundabouts. In the US, they're just a donut-shaped free-for-all.

You know, that makes me think - arrows seem totally obvious to us, but would they be obvious to someone from a completely different culture? <- could be 'go this way'; it could also mean 'avoid as if it's the mouth of a crocodile'.

This is a great question. I've been spending a lot of time recently building a personal landing page, getting more established on public social media, etc. It's incredibly time consuming and I feel really torn - I'd much rather be learning

Nokia's industrial design seems like the only real contender to Apple's in terms of being sleek, modern, but still distinctive and immediately recognisable. It's hard to make a touchscreen phone anything more than a screen, but they both ma

Certainly true - but arguably, cheap Windows machines democratized personal computing. I wouldn't discount Nokia's future in the developing world because of Microsoft's involvement.

People also seem to have forgotten that the bulk of Nokia's sales don't come from smartphones. All they're doing here is replacing the OS of their 'flagship' lineup. Since Nokia smartphones have barely entered into the consciousness of the

Judging from jedburg's post, I'd argue that it allows them to hire people who would rather spend 3 hours up-front writing some code than spend 3 hours up-front writing a cover letter. Which is preferable for the programmer, too, since the u

I think the point is that if you don't already do this stuff for the fun of it, you're not who they're looking for. I just spent a few minutes writing out some pseudocode, and I have a slight adrenaline rush. Even if I don't submit anything

I guess I was just responding to "the corruption going on in Egypt". I didn't mean to indicate you in particular, apologies if it comes across that way.

by DanI-S 16y ago
We shouldn't draw some arbitrary border around Egypt's corruption. Our governments directly benefited from it; we're all implicit in it. Western support of regimes like this /has/ to end.

It means you think you just spent $500m on your 'upload' when in reality you just committed some elaborate suicide, launching some other (very similar) chap into immortality. Selfless, but unintentional.
