Two things have always bugged me with CSS. Firstly, vertical aligning is very hard. If I have a piece of text, I can't set it to be vertically in the middle of a block without setting a large line-height or displaying my div as a table-cell. Secondly, fieldsets and legends. Legends overlap fieldsets...

I'm so re-assured that my peers don't browser sniff :) This all started when I saw a very cool piece of JavaScript to detect IE. The script's on Github . I was thinking of writing a blog post about why not to do it and what to check instead. I'm glad it's not needed -- thanks for the responses. In r...

Does anyone here detect faulty browsers to correct problems? I've always thought that it was a really unreliable way to fix errors but I can't help but acknowledge its popularity; most major JavaScript libraries have browser sniffing elements. It's made me wonder what people think about the techniqu...

I bought a seemly innocent 4-pack of lager... turns out to be 9%.... and all I can think of is: "damnit JavaScript popup -- move to mouse positions when I click on you... is it really that hard?"

BTW. "hi" to anyone else drinking before a work-day

Javascript it hard to understand after 2 cans of 9% lager

This is going to sound bad, but, what's Loom? Loom was a game for the PC in the early 90s by Lucas Arts. It was mainly a light-hearted adventure game. It stands out as unique because throughout the entire game, it's only possible to pick up one item: a staff right at the beginning. The staff allowe...

Well, I meant that a law that makes it essentially illegal to record the interior of your store is kind of, well, broken. Especially when those recordings can be the only thing to make a case with. The law makes it illegal to have a TV monitor showing the recordings as you're recording them. It sta...

Surely I don't have to explain why it's ridiculous to restrict a store's ability to monitor it's own premises because a potential robber could intentionally flash his information in front of them?

Most CCTV cameras are actually privately owned. A show will have a couple dotted around the place so the checkout clerk can keep an eye on people the other side of the shelves. Interestingly, a couple of years ago, it was noticed that around 90% of the recorded images were considered useless for fai...

Technology doesn't necessarily make it easier to monitor the population, but rather, more difficult. This. This is where you're completely wrong. Without technology, the only way to monitor people is directly. Which is more difficult than setting up cameras. But why would they be watching one perso...

Let's not forget, in this, that in addition to the "saw another person's death as nothing but entertainment"..... issue , there's also the fact that they saw it as entertainment at all . (And those two issues are related but distinct). Aahhh, something that can be discussed. It's so refre...

The best game soundtrack I've ever heard was the music from Deus Ex. I've downloaded it and thoroughly enjoy listening to it. No sound track has ever had me so hooked. From a movie, it would have to be Real Genius for the 80's nostalgia.

But there is a HUGE difference between getting annoyed with, and snapping at, someone repeatedly telling you that they'll kill themselves, and telling someone standing on the edge to jump. I don't agree. To me, they're both after attention. Read. These are actions committed by the observer not the ...

If someone, however, comes to me bi-monthly telling me they're going to kill themselves, it gets old. So, yes, I have indeed told someone that they should do it, and that if it were legal, I'd do it for them... and would say the same in the future, although I doubt that either of those two will com...
