I don’t believe there’s any surprise that when it comes to CSS and HTML, the cheat sheets presented here are about CSS3 and HTML5. It is normal to show the new ones instead of the old that you are already familiar with.

Using this, you can work out the apparent angular widths of things in pixels quite easily. The moon from earth is about 24.3px wide, for example. The Eiffel Tower from a mile away is about 550.5px tall. That means that when you do “{ width: 24.3px }” in CSS 2.1, you're making something as wide as the moon looks to be.

Social change needs subtleties. It needs room for negotiation, compromises, and shifting the debate. It also needs really boring things: tedious days of discussion and engagement, mind-numbingly unsexy drafting of agreements, and an open mind at all stages.

"The 3,000-mile oil change just says that the marketing campaign by quick-lube companies has been effective," said Steve Mazor, manager of the Auto Club of Southern California's Automotive Research Center.
