Is there an innocent reason why his bail would be £100k-£200k for an alleged offence like this? It seems incredibly high and serves only to reinforce the suggestion that this is merely an excuse to detain him. Source: http://news.sky.com/s

How can you have a discussion with people who not only believe that it is unacceptable to expose government deception and corruption, but who go on to advocate the use of lethal force against citizens of western democracies. Rarely has an e

At first I didn't notice that you could search for songs. It didn't work for me in Chrome or Opera (didn't bother trying other browsers after that); no music was playing at all. Nice idea though.

The launch of boutiques.com and now this (if true) would suggest that Google are moving into the commodity-based affiliate marketing space. Rather than relying so heavily on selling ad-space in their products, perhaps they are looking to fu

Thanks, you're right, plenty of options - http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/arrows.html But there doesn't seem to be one for the simplest: just a basic triangle.

As pseudo-elements, :before and :after don't have any real semantic meaning. But yes, it is a complete abuse of pseudo-elements that isn't immediately understandable. There are some more practical and simple pseudo-element hacks too - http

I'm not sure some simple arrows can be achieved with unicode characters...nor would you want a screenreader to pay attention to what is purely presentational.

I completely agree that it isn't something to be used as a replacement for sprites or SVG. I tried to make it clear that it's nothing more than a technical exercise that I hoped to learn from. Hopefully others will pay attention to that fac
