No, this is a oft quoted trope. Google is the reason Flash is dead. SEO, my friend.

âoeHowever, the fact that Apple plans to ditch iTunes LPs in 2018 potentially hints at the possibility that Apple may stop selling iTunes music downloads in the near futureâ How is not supporting a single format (LPs include extras above and beyond music - thatâ(TM)s what is being retired) a hint that they will cease all sales and move exclusively to subscriptions? Holy shit thatâ(TM)s stupid.

The reason HTML doesn't do that is that it's not about prentation. It's a semantic language, describing types and the semantic relationship of things to other things. CSS is a presentational language, concerned with layout (like width /height), colour, size, and other visual relationships. Properties like height don't mean anything to a screenreader.

1th I've heard of it too.

"Hey baby, what's your THAC0?"

He couldn't find the 'i'.

Can't we just start with something we can easily drive back into extinction if it's a flop? How about Dodos? There is almost no chance of vast migratory herds of Dodos thundering across the tundra and mashing the unawares underfoot. If they start to bug us, we'll just eat them all.

Heard of webkit?

One platform has a disproportionately high conversion rate in a growing, increasingly important marketing sector and you're confused about why it matters? Do you hate money?

Seriously? How are an OS and an online marketplace for selling additional, non-integrated software for that OS different? You really need to ask that?

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Funny because your diamond-tipped intellect sliced right through all logic and pithy wisdom, thudded straight into the heart of cliched and lazy humour, shivering there with barely-containable ironic energy, because we know that you, the Physician of Quippery are so much smarter than that and this seemingly inept, utterly sad excuse at humour was just a meta commentary on the sad, sickly state of slashdot commentary?

Fucking hilarious

Unless he is the tools. You know, he's the stuff that makes other stuff happen.

*takes another hit*

Of course that would make physicists = theologians and that may very well spark a patent dispute.

What he's talking about is turning his 'art' into pamphleteering. Social responsibility is not, nor should it be, the goal of entertainers. Sting taught me that.

It's actually Titus Groan and the sequels (Gormenghast is the second of three). The third is unfortunately a mess. But the finest fantasy ever written in my opinion.

I wouldn't call it experimental in any way - it's just atypical; it's character-driven fantasy. Grotesque and impressionistic. There's nothing else even moderately like it. If you haven't read it, do it now.

My pick for a great forgotten author - Jack Vance. Cugel's Saga is a brilliant picaresque, the Lyonesse series is wonderful, even his less successful efforts like the Tschai series are worth reading. There's something about his pacing and rhythm that I find immensely readable.
