Yes, especially the animated google doodles built in HTML5 that occasionally, without warning, replace the static logo. They just rub me up the wrong way. First I switched to the Firefox home page but they've started to fill that with junk too. I've now built my own custom home page just with a...

If you want to build a chrome or FF extension that will destroy the annoying google doodle forever, I am all ears. :cool:

It seems Burrina couldn't stand the hen-pecking and gave Colin the bird...:p

Next time I'm in London I shall go to a cake shop in Chelsea and ask for a Manchester United cake. I'll let you know what happens. :p

Idi Amin is a good example. A ruthless dictator who shifted from pro to anti-Israeli virtually overnight.

Thanks for looking into it Vass. I sure don't envy the moderator's role. However I have to say that I did chuckle at your referring to a website that sells Rudolph Hess merchandise as 'poor taste'. I'll call it a diplomatic euphemism and leave it at that. :p

This was the post in question, I reported it at the time and informed Blade of it. No response from the moderators nor withdrawal from Blade.

At the risk of sounding facetious, would you prefer I base my views on what we don't know? My previous comment was an attempt to knock down the implication that he was simply a figurehead type character adapting speeches from Henry V to boost morale. If your point is that he was a man with...

He was, I think, a little more astute than what is implied here. For example, he perceived the Munich Agreement for what it was without the benefit of hindsight. A complex subject to be sure.

After posting on these boards for a number of years, you get a certain feel for people's characters and nuances. Brian is one of the more calming presences you'll find on the site which made his outburst amusing, to me anyway. Nothing to do with supporting your position. I'm not quite sure how...

Hasn't been a likely occurrence for some time. Though I'm due a seven year itch this year so who knows?

Brian calling bullshit is the funniest thing that's happened on these boards for a while :D

I would go far enough in to the future to witness the first contact with alien life.

Just looked at the source, yes you're right it's not incomplete. When the script runs it will hit window.matchMedia. If that returns true the OR statement is settled and the second part is not run. If it returns false (ie null) then window.matchMedia = function() {}; is run. They've used the...

The OR operator syntax for javascript can be found here Basically if window.matchMedia is supported then window.matchMedia will return true so that is what window.matchMedia is set to. If it's not supported it will return false thus window.matchMedia will be set to the anonymous function...

Your snippet is incomplete so I have to add to it to explain: var window.matchMedia = window.matchMedia || (window.matchMedia = function() { //do something }()); The function window.matchMedia is set to the following value: 1) window.matchMedia if it exists or 2) An anonymous function...

Looks like a check for browser support of the matchMedia function.

Nope. I would put myself in the sheep category but I did want to point out that the herd mentality is not always a peaceful one. I think the categorizations are flawed because of this.

The sheep and sheepdog categories are not mutually exclusive, imho. For example: Link

Here's a question for you Blade. If this segment from Fox news wasn't challenged, would you have cited it as supporting evidence for your point of view? Go on, answer honestly. Link
