Sarcasm? I can't tell anymore :/ I love it when my code doesn't compile (i.e. if I've made a mistake). Much worse if when something tries to be "intelligent" and makes my code do something I never asked for -

How about JsonML; i.e. XHTML but in JSON format to make it less verbose / further improve integration with javascript?

I suspect words such as Company and China are pretty commonplace on the internet, so the data used for Google to learn is likely to include a number of these mapped to Lorem Ipsums. Sentences making sense could be down to another part of th

Agreed 100% Desired Reaction: Oh cool, a demo popped up just when it was needed. My Reaction: Huh? Ugh, that's annoying. Wow, and I scroll back up and it moves again; I didn't ask for that either.

Would be interesting to know the context; small or large company / is there a strong IT focus or is IT just an internal service for the company, etc; think that may give more telling results (i.e. enterprises that buy off-the-shelf are

I'd be tempted to create the phone app but have any proceeds go to charity - that way you take the opportunity, gain kudos, avoid greed, and give something positive to the world. Perhaps also including a prominent link to Threes as an

Solution: Use red paper. Draw the straight lines in parallel to one another then fold the paper diagonally so all lines cross all lines. Draw the transparent lines with transparent ink (e.g. an ink corrector pen). Using a green pen draw lon
