You lose some browser compatibility with qSA, whereas gEBId works everywhere. You need IE8+ for qSA, and you need to ensure the page isn't in quirks mode. If you're OK with that then you can also do: var $ = document.querySelector

The demo site works well and feels slick. It's a pity I had to listen to his music to try it out though. Auto-tune is a cool technology but I liked it better when tone-deaf rich people couldn't flatly sing a poorly-written, over-p

Does anybody know if the ranking is bi-directional? Is the rank just calculated on your activity (e.g.: visiting a friends profile) or does it include the activity of your friends (e.g.: when a friend visits your profile)

I appreciate the comparison but it's really not "much the same". Modern F1 cars are much much better (not just faster) than they were in 1972. The strict technical regulations are in place for two main reasons: 1. To allow te

My understanding is that you can't perform lossless rotation on a jpeg unless it's dimensions are a multiple of 8. I'm not 100% sure about this so I'm happy to be corrected.

The bootstrap markup is actually more semantic than Semantic UI. Classes like large, red, floated, right, circular etc.. are presentational not semantic. If you want to use a framework and keep semantic CSS then look in to using the LESS&#x

The second principle is something that Larry Page said at the Google IO keynote earlier in the week too. He was making reference to the fact that from a purely physical perspective, the raw material cost of a smartphone is about $0.50 - $1.

Not really the same because you can say "We don't support IE version x" and be done with it. There are much more variables at play in a server setup: PHP, MySQL, web server, OS etc.. Each of these can be running different versions and each
