Surely there is a mistake when you say such an android would exceed the size of the universe, right? Have you done any calculation or can you cite any source which remotely claims this? Im interested.

I agree wholeheartedly with the premise presented in this essay. And I hope that sometime in the future we collectively all realize the benefits and figure out the implementation. Being nit picky but: > I still can't get Gmail to d

I agree with your distinction between browser application and the web. Its very frustrating to be bombarded with tons of javascript that introduce nothing of value; usually advertisements and petty fanciness. But that being said, ive been

Thanks for adding this comment. Having good CSS practices is important, but if a module has styles that only it should ever see, why the abstraction to another file/location is beneficial is puzzling me. Bulkier CSS or bulkier temp

EU theory contains a lot of supposed explanations. I do it injustice (as do themselves) by labelling it as one all encompassing theory. It becomes easier to dismiss as a whole since not every single thing presented under the umbrella migh

Fascinating story. Thanks for sharing, though I hope you understand my general doubt. But you'd expect that since I'm so far away from these strange occurrences. Getting back to the point of this thread: when you pray, are you
