Terms of use

Everybody hates scrolling through the terms of use of any website of software. Why? Because you’ve got to accept something you don’t really understand. 500px has made a simplified version of their terms alongside the long and complicated one, in words that everyone will understand.

Spiffing CSS

body {
background-colour: grey !please;
transparency: 0.5;
}

Brits, take control of the web. Spiffing allows you to write your CSS and stylesheets in conformance to proper British English (also known as correct English) grammar and spelling regulations.

What’s the point of pointers?

“A friend of mine named Joe was staying somewhere else in the hotel and I didn’t know his room number. But I did know which room his acquaintance, Frank, was staying in. So I went up there and knocked on his door and asked him, ‘Where’s Joe staying?’ Frank didn’t know, but he did know which room Joe’s co-worker, Theodore, was staying in, and gave me that room number instead. So I went to Theodore’s room and asked him where Joe was staying, and Theodore told me that Joe was in Room 414. And that, in fact, is where Joe was.”

Excellent analogy about what use pointers have.
