Interesting, I've also heard of benefits from multi-grade classrooms; I wonder if there's a connection there. (I don't have a source for that on hand, that's mostly from discussion with relatives who teach.)

That's because actual browser development doesn't happen there - that's at https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ . Rereading your comment, you're referring more specifically to mobile; I suppose yo

Rewritten for clarity (and because I now actually know what's happening): If you look at the XML (change .docx to .zip) in styles.xml you see the declaration of the style "BodyText3": <w:style w:type="paragraph&qu

Only about 5 MB compressed. Interesting to note is that even though the extension and MIME type claim it's a png, Firefox claims it's actually a jpeg. Throwing it at a couple different pieces of software, they all appear to open

Perhaps one of the worst parts, which I haven't seen mentioned here yet: GamersNexus eventually managed to get the motherboard back, and took a look at it. Not only was it in terrible condition, there was an RMA sticker from Newegg to

Agreed, particularly at a secondary level at least a basic understanding of math concepts is important both in general and in social studies - graphs and statistics are what first come to mind. And if they're not at the secondary level

I've never programmed as a job; it's a hobby at most. But I could make simple VB6 programs when I was in upper elementary school. In high school I mostly used HTML/JS (partly because of portability, partly because I lost ea

In my experience, about half of the benefit of learning a new language is in better understanding of grammatical structures (eg. cases - English has them too; and tangentially, (foreign) language classes taught me more about English from a
