Tables are anything but responsive. Responsiveness is not about fluidly changing the width of elements. You can't for example change 3 column layout to 1 column with tables.

The only viable use of tables for layout is when you need to center something vertically. Even then it's better to skip using the tag and apply display: table; and display: table-cell; to respective elements.

Building from the first picture, The Prudential[0], looks pretty much the same right now[1]. I don't know if the actual renovation started already or not but hopefully it'll be turned into this[2].

Edit: wording.

Edit2: I just remembered there is a movie showing Warsaw in 1935[3] and another one when city was destroyed in 1939[4]. I encourage you to visit Warsaw Rising Museum if you ever have a chance.

I'm glad someone shares my opinion on this. Drawing with CSS is like moving to a new place using a cartwheel instead of a truck.

I see those comments mostly coming from people that used wordpress once in 2005 and never touched it since.

I agree it's very misleading but they do clarify it in the first sentence of the help page.

Google Web Designer is an advanced web application that's built with HTML5 which lets you design and build HTML5 advertisements and other web content using an integrated visual and code interface

I thought it's a tool for designing websites - nope.

Re:Javascript Constructors and Prototypes on Thursday August 01, 2013 @08:15AM (#6139711)
"In the first version, each time you create a person, a new sayHi function will be created for him, where as in the second version, only one sayHi function is ever created, and is shared amongst all persons that are created - because Person.prototype is their parent. Thus, declaring methods on the prototype is more memory efficient."

If by realistic games You mean "Jogging In The Park Simulator 2013" then i guess it's perfect. This could be a nice device to try out on some gaming expo but i think most gamers will be disappointed with the lack of actions they can perform in it.

A diaper-like seat would be a nice addition. With that kind of support user could be waving his legs forwards, backwards and even sideways with little to no problem.

I would love to hear a medical professional opinion on contusion probability with extensive use of this thing.

Also they didn't show if it's comfortable to run backwards - a critical move in any first person game.

This is a great example of an attention whoring headline. When you get into the details there's actually no news here.
