This is more like the 70-20-10 rule -- not so much numbers that you've calculated based on careful observation of any particular business, but rather a nice set of round numbers to aim for. I've heard of this rule before, although

Those aren't invisible, merely transparent: they take up space, and alter the location of the cursor when inserted. Invisible characters don't.

> But height at age 16 makes all the difference in the world. I was done growing at age 16. So if you accept that current height can affect wages, then this statement seems trivial (at least to me, with my growth pattern...)

I don't. Whether it's relevant to computers or patent law I don't know, but there are certain areas where it's seen as important that the victim is denied the right to absolve the perpetrator. For example, this comes up

2 is the bigger issue for me, but from a courtesy angle: I was raised to view talking on your cell phone around other people as impolite. For those unmoved by propriety: picture the last time you were on a bus (or other public space) and sa

I don't think there would be any real repercussions. But this close to the end, it seems foolish to bet the last six years of my life on a mildly amusing act of civil disobedience. While I have complete faith in my department not being

I'm mostly concerned about what my department would do under pressure from publishers and/or the government. Being part of a state university, publicly endorsing illegal actions is unwise on my part. Especially if they undermine t

I eventually found a strategy of basically trying to fill every "even" space around the edge, and then only filling in the odd ones when the cat was 1 space away from entering the edge-ring. This would allow me enough time to encl

No. Lets say we're playing with a 2-angel. Lets place an angel, and without loss of generality assume the angel is moving left: _ _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ Then, perhaps the Devil goes here: _ D _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ Angel move

This sort of thing happens a lot in California -- all beach land is public property, but the private land that controls access to said beach can impose arbitrary restrictions.

If you had to put them on your 'a' tags, it could conflict with other "rel"s. That is, how would one make a link that was both "next" and "nofollow"? (that's probably a bad example, but you get w

I like the premise of this a lot, but it seems to me that the setting that the author chose (some UI element of a website) is one of the worst possible settings for this: what matters a whole lot more than if your button is red or green or
