The prefixes like -moz-, -webkit-, and -o- are specifically for NOT contaminating the DOM with objects that are not standard compliant. These prefixes mark proposed features that are still in discussion for W3C standardization and they are

A biometric database is hardly rocket science anymore. The main problems to overcome are likely not technical but administrative/political. I am pretty sure it will not work at first and for some time, as said political problems will need t

I disagree. It may be misused, but the amount of abuse of poor people due to not having an identity is so much worse. Poverty itself is already very dangerous. But poverty without having the ability to prove your own existance is so much mo

No they don't. Only because a person has more disposible income does not mean they /have/ to consume more. The poster has actually a point. In a "consumerist" culture however, "instant satisfaction" is much more important and constantly pr

Why don't you add href='#' and return false from the click event. Nothing gets added to the history that way. Better yet, add a href='/uri/to/script' as a fallback in case the user has JS disabled.

Used it for half a year then did "sudo apt-get remove unity-desktop && apt-get install xfce-desktop". I dislike the concept of huge sidebars that move around and overlays etc. So I will probably not try it again. Xfce is nice and fa

Have they already figured out how to run ads on their own site efficiently? I think CTR and RPM are still unsolved issues for Fb. I may be wrong, never bought Fb ads myself.

G has done this for the past 8 years, if you have AdSense, it is not a question if you get banned, but when you will get banned. What surprises me much more is that there is still no valid alternative. After 8 years! MS has tried to build s

People go to FB to communicate, they go to G to search. Brands are associated with products. That's why this G+ thing is a bad idea, it totally waters down G's brand in search. FB offers Bing on their site, but still nobody uses that.

"It must force [...] Google+ down the throats of users who are simply looking for a brilliant search engine." And that's the part I don't get. Facebook does not even make that much money. Why would Google want to be more like it? Google is

That's another novel thing for Ubuntu, publishing a major change first in an LTS. Until now the philosophy was that an LTS was more stable, a non-LTS was more experimental. Sad that this policy was abandoned. The "HUD" interface (silly name

Never said "just the unions". But remember the VW deal in the 90s about the 4 day workweek, to avoid layoffs as VW cut down production back then? That was the unions, and that was a milestone to show how it could be done. So when this crisi

I don't think its "the culture" that is "rotting", but rather the social capital, the social ties between individuals and entire sectors of the society, is declining since the mid-1960s (Book: R. Puttnam, "Bowling Alone").
