I really don't see how this would have a major negative impact on speed. If anything, it will allow CSS files to be smaller reducing the amount of data being downloaded to the client and may actually improve performance.

I agree that the name is confusing. They really aren't variables.

Obviously there is a belief that mobile technology is going to grow. The numbers today say are that Flash is 96% of users and HTML5 is 74%. If people didn't believe that the mobile segment was growing at an enormous rate, no business stakeh

That's not really true. The providers in .NET are similar to the convention over config philosophy present in RoR. IIS and ASP.NET provide a lot of features in what they consider the "most common" manner. However, almost every one of the bu
