Wait, is this about webpages where you can scroll continuously? Like when you have a scroll with the ends glued together instead of rolled on separate cilinders (this seems odd, why would one want that). Or is it like those pages that get longer as you scroll down (why on earth would you want that;...

Some of Randall's jokes are sort of rigid puns or plays on geeky concepts. Frequently they're very good ones, but still. But once in a while he comes out with something that's just delightfully absurd and that sparks your imagination, eg. http://xkcd.com/1031/ or http://xkcd.com/886/ . This is one o...

Damn. Ninja'd. Well, there's one problem Android will never have. We all laughed at their decision to name their versions after desserts. Who's laughing now? They dodge a bullet with "Quiche Lorraine", but after "Watermelon", I'm drawing a big fat blank. Ice cream flavours! Choco...

Oh my. Oh my oh my oh my. This is fantastic.

10 - 5 + 2 would equal 7 no matter what order you do it in. If you add 5 + 2 to get 7 then subtract that from ten, you've added in a bracket, changing the problem to 10 - (5+2). As long as the numbers keep their signs attached, adding and subtracting can be down in any order, left to right (I.E. -5...
