"obvious" is key point here. This { width:100px; margin-left:1fr } has clear and obvious physical meaning: solid block with the spring of strength 1 on the left of it. So the block is attached to the right side

Yeah, it's really time to build another wall then. You've opened Internet to share your point of view and so to influence their choice? Expect others to share their views and influence you too. Don't like that? See #1 You&#x2

I don't think it was illegal to assemble computers at that time there. I did something like this in USSR at that time and don't think that it was too different in Romania. And actually from the same parts - I see couple of chips t

Not sure I understand what you said. Example: I want to hire 10 developers. There are no places to live with price tags less than 1.5 mln in 1 hour commute radii from here. What would be my options? To pay them enough salary so they can aff

That's true. Yet I've heard from one realtor that in some suburbs of Great Vancouver 15% of properties stay empty - pure investment. Vancouver is not the city to live in anymore. Problem is that it is not the city to work in too.

If the only what you have are static images then it does not matter is it HTML or anything else - it will be rendered fast enough as images are on GPU side already. For the note, here are two HTML layers and one DirectX layer rendering on t

I really would like to know why they abandoned Windows Mobile / CE at that time. It was quite strong foundation. Metro could be built on top of it easily. Mystery.

In other words: how to 1) motivate the author to publish project as L0 and 2) motivate the author to keep working on it. Am I right in my understanding of what you are saying? If "yes" then it is a reasonable question. Some comple
