No, the users need to be able to check for conformance. What we also need is for vendors to supply test platforms. Amazon, to its small credit, does this, which is good, because the subset of html/css they support is limited and poorly

I have a fair number of autographed books, but I work in publishing so a lot of them are signed by friends and people I've worked with. Which means there's no way I'd willingly part with them. I'm less interested in &#x2

Yeah, my dad couldn't understand why I kept my first car for ten years. He kept bugging me to trade it in. Even then, I couldn't afford to. But cars do last longer, on average now. Admittedly, the two I had were both Hondas, and t

My dad was of the new-car-every-three years generation. I had two cars for a combined 27 years. And the second one I bought used, with 48K miles already on it. For most of the time I had those cars, fixing them was far less expensive than b

This is definitely sending some mixed messages. BSD is stable, but the software he tries to install keeps crashing. BSD is really fast, but everything takes longer to do. Just reading this, I have no idea if I can use this for anything or n

"But to date, the settings on these tools are somewhat oblique to end users." At least we can say this wasn't written by AI. Only a human with a spellchecker would have made this error.

If you live in a house long enough, you will have to deal with things. There will at some point, be a new roof, a new furnace. New windows. Some of it will be optional, some will not. If you are renting, part of your rent is going to the la

We've always used this in our ebooks for abbreviation and glossary lists. The problem I've always had is that you need to use a bit of css to make two lined-up columns. I've done it with floats. Now, some ebook readers will s
