• Use jQuery's SlideDown() With Fixed-Width Elements To Prevent Jumping

  Posted on Sep 29, 2011 at 4:49 PM

  Great insight into a plaguing issue, thanks for that! Now knowing the cause though, I can't help but wonder if it would be best for jQuery to take into consideration the width of the container of the content it's working with, seeing as how the way it's currently handled is a bit incomplete, it wo... read more »

  Seems like an interesting technique, but I'm having trouble coming up with a good use-case for it. In the example given, the same result can be accomplished using margin instead.... read more »

• The Sexiest Thing A Woman Can Say In An Elevator

  Posted on Jul 16, 2011 at 6:53 PM

  Haha, totally not sexy - good job reminder her why she's your EX! If a woman were to say that to me, it would immediately make me think about her armpits, and if they're hairy or not, and if she typically has an odor issue. I think I just lost my appetite :-/... read more »

  @Ben It *is* a bit semantic, and contextual (as you mentioned), and I'd say perhaps also a bit spiritual. One definition, and the one I had in-mind regarding sacrifice, is as follows: - noun 3. the surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as ha... read more »

  I'm not sure how you could have possibly come to that conclusion, but low self-esteem is certainly NOT a prerequisite for sacrifice. Being alive is. Every time you make a choice between 2 or more things, you're making a sacrifice. Every time you take a chance on something, you're making a sacrifice.... read more »
