I agree Safari is the best. Every other browser is a clunker IMO. The Safari web inspector keeps getting better. You might want to take another look at it.

TIFF can do tiled images too and there is nothing stopping someone from adding a TIFF extension for better compression or anything else imaginable.

Honest question. Seriously not trying to dismiss the work. Why not TIFF? 30 years old, already built into nearly every graphics application, supports everything this proposes and more. Plus it is already supported in Safari. https:/&#

Why do people keep bringing up mobile devices like it is some kind of trump card? If you really want to script a mobile device, install whatever Linux distro you want on an Android phone and go to town. Congratulation, you just created a ti

If you're looking at your smartphone or tablet and wanting to script it, put it down and find yourself a desktop or laptop. Edit: Smartphones and tablets are simply not general purpose computers. I don't want a desktop type OS on

Every application I use daily is scriptable. My OS is scriptable. My shell is scriptable. My text editor is scriptable. I hate to be negative, but I call BS.

My sentiments exactly. It is a breath of fresh air to see a company depart from a huge multinational like Pearson. Somehow I wasn't aware that Pearson had a stake in the Economist and I frequent "Who Owns What" http:/&#

As another person pointed out, methamphetamine is sold in the US as Desoxyn. Morphine is used in the US, but diacetylmorphine (aka heroin) is used in the UK and several other countries. I'm not being disingenuous...

Well there is your problem. You don't actually know anything about the subject and a "quick google" is a poor substitute for actual knowledge. Nutmeg is a psychoactive substance at the right dose and at around 7-8 times that

If that is the measure of "worst" then alcohol, tylenol, nutmeg, and dextromethorphan containing cough medicine should be demonized too.

Presentation and semantics are not the same thing. All the default presentation is easy to override if you know what you're doing. CSS is pretty damn simple. You should learn the basics. Namely: cascading, specificity, nesting, inherit
