Can anyone point me in the right direction as to the current thinking on how to create backwards compatible HTML 5 pages? I'd like to take advantage where possible, but not leave older browsers in the dark...

Is this even technically a beer? I know that there are beers made with rice (like Budweiser), but they are still barley-based. In Germany, this would definitely not be considered a beer... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot Stil

The more time I spend doing things my parents would approve of, the more momentum I feel like I have holding me back from doing "whatever the hell I want"... Any tips on how to break out of that?

Right -- this was my initial reaction. You can generate more thrust in a higher viscosity fluid, which will "cancel out" the increased friction, but it also takes more energy to generate the increased thrust, so you'd tire out more quickly

The entire federal budget was about 500 billion in 1960, inflation adjusted. The current federal budget is nearly 3 trillion. Yet today, we seem to be spending less money building infrastructure investments that create economic booms and

I've become more skeptical of this supposed Hacker/Manager dichotomy as of late. Not only is there "variety among humans"... there is variety within humans. In particular, in my experience most GOOD managers ARE hackers. Most great hacke

At least 20+ years ago Wall Street mostly made money by making available tangible assets to the common investor -- facilitating IPOs and mergers aka "moving money around" does provide for efficient allocation of capital which in turn create

When tied to fundamental underlying assets, investing creates liquidity and capitalizes businesses over the long-term. In its current form, Wall Street "investing" is more like high-stakes short-term gambling. Somehow we got to the point

Wow... Pretty airtight if you're a non-scientific lunatic that can't tell the difference between physical assault and non-violent political satire.

I take issue with this step: "Thus, as k increases, the left side approaches 1, and we can take the exponential of both sides to give..." k/k-1 -> 1 in the limit. The problem is that most people don't have an infinite number of women to

Are there really that many angel investors that fall within the 1M to 2.3M net worth range? My initial gut reaction is that this seems to be a bit of an overblown issue. In the bay area at least, virtually anyone with a home on the penins

My post was in response to the thread above -- the bottom line is that for all of the linked lists you mention insertion/deletion is O(n) in the general case and O(1) at the head. The way its currently written is confusing and wrong.

I see your point, but I also think you can get into trouble deciding whether a degree is "pointless" entirely on its current market value. Computer science may have seemed like a pointless degree at one point during the 60's.

What is the purpose of college? If the aim of attending college is to have a credential which will lead to a job post-graduation, then we ought to axe about 2/3rds of humanities majors. If the aim is to pursue knowledge for knowledge sake
