I've you're willing to look at 3rd party software, I've been a happy user of Directory Opus for many years.

According to this article [0], WeChat and Alipay will surpass Visa and Mastercard in total global transactions per day in the coming year.

If a payment app really takes off in the Western world, wouldn't that be a very big risk for Visa and Mastercard?

I'm also pretty sure that was print_r not var_dump.

<input type=number> didn't make it in?

Neither was Android Honeycomb

Interestingly middle-click in Chrome executes the script, but not in Firefox.

Did Opera really bring us tabs first?

I remember using NetCaptor (an IE shell browser) long before Opera had tabs.

Maybe Opera popularized it first?

Pastor's apology: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/tipping-pastor-apolog...

  In a TSG interview, Alois Bell said that the online
  firestorm created by the receipt has left her stunned. 
  “My heart is really broken,” said the 37-year-old Bell.

Do they have better instructions/pipelines for the math needed? Why are these not useful/implemented in general CPUs?

  Vice Magazine reporters are indeed with me in Guatemala.    
  Yesterday was chaotic due to the accidental release of my 
  exact co-ordinates by an unseasoned technician at Vice

  press yesterday because of this and I apologize to all of 
  those affected.

Seems fine on Chrome

Interesting.

I can the "i" button in that video, but my app does not have it, and I don't get voice answers.

Edit: Switching to English (US) does give vocal answers, but then it doesn't seem to understand my South African accent anymore.

15 years ago I was already building (intranet) web apps using FrontPage 97. The zero deployment advantage was quickly recognized.

You mean like John Locke did?
