Mac OS X Lion, /etc/hosts Bugs, and DNS Resolution Final Update: I’m working on a follow-up post, but thanks to all the comments, it seems that somehow during the Snow Leopard to Lion upgrade, the /etc/hosts file was encoded incorrectly (likely the type of newlines used), and that Lion would fail to read it properly.

There are three key advantages to CSS animations over traditional script-driven animation techniques: They're easy to use for simple animations; you can create them without even having to know JavaScript. The animations run well, even under moderate system load. 7 Secrets to Getting the Graphics You Need for Rapid E-Learning I had a great time in Atlanta last week.
