This was pre-image blocking. Not sure how this would work now. I assume there's a big empty table where the image would go and some text+links above and below the image.

I never needed to get into table hell. I used an image map every time. One image. Define some areas with different links. Bingo. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma...

We've tried to institute technical design docs and reviews and failed. Management keeps asking we do them but doesn't enforce it. Developers don't want to do it and take it personally when you suggest a different approach dur

You must not be familiar with this utensil. It is a spoon with a fork like end. Many a plate of school lunch spaghettis has been eaten with a spork.

My experiences . . . Things like setting up dual monitors used to be such a major pain (for me) or hardware support like for a bluetooth dongle. I had some problem with an intel chipset that kept crashing a laptop in 2005. I tried debian a

Too many landing pages nowadays with too little information. Be nice to see a better list of features, screenshots, or a demo without having to sign-up.

I live five miles from work. There are bike lanes the whole way with no freeways inbetween. I drive. I didn't move close to my job to spend 30+ minutes a day commuting. I don't want to show up sweaty to the office. I can run erran
