I've seen this kind of behaviour on a few sites. I thought it was achieved by having the position fixed on the element, as soon as JS detected that the element was moving out of the document window. There's a time and a place fo

Apart from their Adobe suites... (In my experience). Note that I don't have any pirated software on my machine. Running Debian here.

Can someone explain what 'Position: sticky' is please? As I'm having difficulty accessing the video: (I still seem to have lots of issues trying to watch videos in the browser. Even embedded Vimeo never works for me (Chrome&

Good point. Remember the old browser modal dialogues about sites using cookies? I bet you could ask 10 people and perhaps 1 of those might actually be able to describe what a cookie is. This is a failure from on-line educators and browse

I think this is a great topic. I imagine from the email that they want to install Foo OS and the latest and greatest apps, but they want their desktop and apps to behave like they did under a previous OS. If they had a great workflow with a

I think the easy opt out here then is to say that governments shouldn't be secret, but the military can. But then you get to the strange point, as to whether the government can trust the military.

They'd probably be better off trying to jettison the keyboard to simplify the computer interface.

I like the middle mouse paste, or rather the highlight to copy more. But it can catch me out. What I find catches me out more though, is the tap to click on a touch pad. I do like it, but I often get tripped up by it. I therefore declare

You really think that average users use the keyboard shortcuts? I'd wager they use the menus or icons. Chorded keyboard shortcuts are not that easy, especially for novices. I wonder how you copy and paste with a touch device? And h

Yes, worrying. http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/allegations-openbsd-back... Not sure what was confirmed on that story, but I remember reading it and thinking there wasn't much chance that I'd ever be able

I've been reluctant to sign up to the store. As I don't want any syncing to the cloud, it's unclear to me what's stored at MSs end, and what the repurcussions are from doing so. This seems a tactical way to get us to si

You'll probably be turned on by an implant. Something more like Tek or the Orgasmatron.

Launching apps is jarring. I'd rather an on screen launcher. I wasn't the biggest fan of the start menu, but I hate flipping between the start screen and the desktop.

Me too, I was pleasantly surprised that I could actually drive this version of windows with the keyboard. Which for me makes it the only version of Windows that I can bare. Energy use is better, and kernel hibernation feels good. Partiti

How about paying to license the material - an album or film say that includes lifelong access to digital versions. Then when your CDS or DVDS go off. Or your DVDs are superceded by a better format, you could just download a replacement.

A good question in itself, would be where do you draw a line. At what radius would you feel comfortable? I'm posting from foo to a bar forum. Will bar tolerate someone from foo?

Aught wrong with a guess, but that one could get quite creepy pretty quickly. Say you were at a small conference in a small building in the one room. And Google started to suggest those around you as friends - that could be quite useful

I agree about that PSR-0 and using Composer helps. But sadly not all code is written that way.

The thing that irritates me the most with Php, is not being able to quickly jump around the code from class to class without some hack. While magic autoloaders are great my IDE/text editor isn't smart enough to know how to do thi

I think it would be a breach of privacy using geolocation data. The reason I'm dismayed in this instance is that I can't work out how the connections are being drawn.

This shows that Facebook have already have you as an entity in other people's networks before you have even joined Facebook. I guess you can cement yourself within those networks by adding them as friends, or saying that you know the

I'd very much like a solution to this without a browser extension. Even having reddit style comment tree lines would help with eye tracking. I find it difficult to just skip a thread.
