The new food labelling in the UK is based on a traffic light principle and, imho seems to be clearer: http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44434000/jpg/_44434134... The problem with this exaple is that it's hard to see quickly what the k

From what I can gather that's the idea behind this project. It's one of those marker phrases that normally signifies offense is about to occur. Eg. I don't mean to offend you but.... Don't take this personally but... I'm not racist but..

I'm not sure this is entirely accurate, last time it was voted on the dev list it was narrowly defeated. The topic was then resurrected about implementing in the 5.4 release and the objections didn't seem to be as strong this time around. S

I think the yes campaign must go down as one of the worst I've ever seen. The big budget media campaign was based around the 'Make Your MP Work Harder' campaign. That's such a vague idea to base a campaign around, especially in light of the

Can't work out a lot from the site, what sort of services are you providing as part of the alpha? Is it API access?

I think it's more a matter of scale. If Facebook are serving 260 Billion pageview a month then even if they were making $3.1B a year we'd only be talking about $1 CPM. That is ridiculously low by industry standards, especially considering h

That would be fixed then, you can subdivide that 980px space into columns but nothing inside will stretch beyond the boundaries. Eg. here's one of our sites: http://nxbus.co.uk You can see that while there's a background image on the full

Yes, that may be true but that's some foundries and some fonts. How these things normally work is that the branding and typography for a brand is done by a separate agency who specify the typefaces, then a separate digital agency have to im

Two reasons. 1. IE support whilst possible doesn't give great quality results, especially at smaller point sizes. 2. Font licensing hassle. None of the foundries seem to want to license fonts and getting an online license is often too muc

Yes they do. We had a meeting with them and they were looking at around a £10k setup fee along with a separate charge per user per month.

On a thread a couple of weeks back about backbone.js a couple of you mentioned a PHP version of Docco would be cool. So here is a first version, lots more to add but feel free to comment and add suggestions.

Ok, just a little fun but for reference here's a comparison of US to UK based on US taxes of $10,000 and UK taxes of about the same (£6,350.50) The comparison goes roughly like this, obviously the UK figures are less detailed so I've groupe

The other big earner which wasn't mentioned here is publishing income. Now this only works if you're the songwriter but having an enduringly popular back catalogue can be worth a lot of money. David Bowie famously sold bonds on a ten year i
