The scrollbar you get is because the footer's width. It's set to 110%. Probably a typo by the creator of the stylesheet.

Horrible analogy. Once again, battery estimates are just that, ESTIMATES. Two days ago my magic mouse ran out of juice, at one point it said it had 13% charge and two hours later it said it had 2% and then an hour later it died. My laptop i

The Wakemate website states that the device's battery lasts 2 to 3 days depending on your sleeping patterns. Battery estimates are bound to usage in every device from the Wakemate to your laptop. The reviewer realized that for him, the devi

The guys behind Wakemate have already stated publicly that the battery lasts 2 to 3 days (actually 24 hours) depending on your sleeping patterns. The reviewer said that the apparatus ran out of juice at the end of the third day. It doesn't

So this is basically a review of the battery life... The reviewer was basically too busy to charge the device every couple of days and then complains that the device runs out of juice? It's like he wanted the gadget to fail so he could writ

Probably. Happiness does not (more like shouldn't, but that's another topic) have a direct correlation to the amount of money or luxury possessions a person owns. But even if having the Jag would make me happier, that's not the issue at han

Your dreams and desires have nothing to do with living a fulfilling "dignified" life. His answer is so full of truth. You don't need to live in Manhattan to be happy, the same way you don't need to be in the bay area to start a successful s

I'd argue that it's the other way around. Older entrepreneurs have more monetary and social resources with which to start a company. Younger entrepreneurs make up on this distinction by shooting for the stars. The fact that older people ten

Whatever she has achieved doesn't make the opinions of anyone, including yours, null by default because of some random metric of success. According to you, we should not criticize Ballmer, because he's the head honcho at Microsoft, even tho

That's what I said bro. I'm a Vim user myself (and have been for a year too many) and I think it's the best thing since hot chocolate bread. I just used a semi complicated macro to edit 800 lines of a CVS document, which took me around 3 mi

Computer engineers have a tendency to read while not using adequate lightning, and to stare at screens for quite too much. That being said, it's not so much a matter of computer engineers using glasses because they are geeks, it's more beca

They'll move the Vim and then have the epiphany of realizing they where wrong all this time. Hopefully before their left hand becomes this unusable and RSI ridden extension of the rest of thier arm. Being serious, I think it's insulting to

And who are you to patronize other people because of their university choices? The university I went to didn't have a systems programming specific course either. So what's the deal here? The only good university is the University of Marylan

I've always seen engineering more like an art than a science. I don't mean to be condescending or anything... I don't mean it saying that we coders make works of art and everyone should kiss the keyboard we type on. Engineering differs to s

If you're not comfortable just start looking for a new job then. It's that simple. If I where you I'd bring it up with the most highest up person I can and if it fell on dead ears, I'd immediately ask for a termination of the employment agr

I'd say it's the other way around. If you're working on an industry that would benefit from "teaching" your customers a thing or two, and you go ahead and answer each and every question, you'd be in the education business. Wether you use so

It's not that all software should be straight forward, simple, and as you say 'pruned to the essentials'. It's not a case of simple, it's a case of as simple as it can be. If your product or app or whatever needs to be more complicated beca

For starters, you're comparison is completely off with what Jason said. A business might need electricity, plumbing, or furniture to operate, but how are these the same as a website? Are you saying that a website is equal to a chair at your

Exactly. Lots of energy drinks taste similar. Redbull and Ciclon taste pretty equal (you have to really be looking to actually notice the difference). I find it retarded that they're using Squirt as a replacement when they should be looking

This advice is not only for people wanting to get better at writing, it's more a general advice for improving anything. The best way to get better at programming is to program, to read about programming, and to practice new things while pro

People drink Redbull to avoid feeling tired, not because it will cause them this awesome skill to press a keyboard key when a green thing flashes on their monitor. Also, Squirt doesn't have the color nor the taste of Redbull. What's the use

If there is one thing I learnt from coming from a family of doctors is that it doesn't matter if your doctor graduated from Harvard Medical School, or a public university in a third world country. What does matter is that the doctor's a fel

You want developers to support Opera because you... like it? As another commenter already said, if opera doesn't even equate to a 1% of your users, you'd be a fool to spend money trying to support a browser most of your users don't even use

Despicable in what way? If someone is putting millions on the line to help realize your dream (for profit of course) you should respect the fact that they're investing to keep the company afloat, not to make your life (as a founder) easier.

I recently purchased a subscription to Grooveshark because of a simple reason. The value I get for buying a song at 64 cents (or 2.99) is not in check with the use I might give said song. Before Napster I had to buy a cd because I might lik

I don't think that this should be about women flirting or not. It's more about women not behaving like feminine behavior is something to frown upon and the fact that men are generally cautious around 'prudish' women because they tend to att

I agree. It's all dependent on what your brain sees first. It so happens that the absence of visual detail makes it easier to decide the mask as seen from the front instead of from the back. The moment your brain is told that it should not
