JavaScript
JavaScript is classified as a prototype-based scripting language with dynamic typing and first-class functions. This mix of features makes it a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented,[6] imperative, and functional[1][7] programming styles. JavaScript has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification. History[edit] Beginnings at Netscape[edit] JavaScript was originally developed by Brendan Eich, while working for Netscape Communications Corporation. Although it was developed under the name Mocha, the language was officially called LiveScript when it first shipped in beta releases of Netscape Navigator 2.0 in September 1995, but it was renamed JavaScript[10] when it was deployed in the Netscape browser version 2.0B3.[11] The change of name from LiveScript to JavaScript roughly coincided with Netscape adding support for Java technology in its Netscape Navigator web browser. Server-side JavaScript[edit] Adoption by Microsoft[edit] Standardization[edit] Trademark[edit]

Beauty is in the Mind of the Beholder There’s no getting around it. In this world, you’re better off being good-looking.

Teachers favor more attractive students and judge them as smarter. Attractive adults get paid more for their work and have better success in dating and mating.

You Should Be. - Annie Keeghan There may be a reason you can’t figure out some of those math problems in your son or daughter’s math text and it might have nothing at all to do with you. That math homework you're trying to help your child muddle through might include problems with no possible solution. It could be that key information or steps are missing, that the problem involves a concept your child hasn’t yet been introduced to, or that the math problem is structurally unsound for a host of other reasons.

CSS Tabs Tabs don't have to be horizontal but they usually are so our first step is going to be to create a horizontal list, as already explained above. We're going to try a few different things here with CSS, but we'll be sticking with the following basic HTML structure: <div id="header"><h1>Tabs</h1><ul><li><a href="#">This</a></li><li id="selected"><a href="#">That</a></li><li><a href="#">The Other</a></li><li><a href="#">Banana</a></li></ul></div><div id="content"><p>Ispum schmipsum.</p></div>

STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO Hello all For the sake of keeping things emotion-free and legal, we’ll cut straight to the chase and forgo the insults and accusations: It is and has been for quite some time our position that Victory Records is an artist-hostile, morally corrupt and generally dishonest company, with whom we have had the displeasure of being associated due to a contract that was signed years ago. The myth of the eight-hour sleep Image copyright Other We often worry about lying awake in the middle of the night - but it could be good for you. A growing body of evidence from both science and history suggests that the eight-hour sleep may be unnatural.

New Type of Alien Planet Is a Steamy 'Waterworld' Scientists have discovered a new type of alien planet — a steamy waterworld that is larger than Earth but smaller than Uranus. The standard-bearer for this new class of exoplanet is called GJ 1214b, which astronomers first discovered in December 2009. New observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope suggest that GJ 1214b is a watery world enshrouded by a thick, steamy atmosphere. "GJ 1214b is like no planet we know of," study lead author Zachory Berta of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., said in a statement.
