Yah, maybe I should have been explicit, but I think my HTML change as semantically important. (My interpretation of the last line of the challenge.)

I often have trouble writing CSS. Here is how I approached this challenge.

Anyone have good advice on a better way?

There is a plugin for that:

But I find that I can usually accomplish the same thing with macro or a targeted search and replace.

That is really the question I'm asking. What should every single high school student walk away with? Should it be knowledge of hardware? Specific software? General software?

The school is in NY. The kids come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Most, have been interacting with computers for years. However, a significant percentage, have effectively no interaction (the reason for this is a whole other topic.) What we are trying to do is
1)understand exactly what we should be teaching the kids who have no background, in order to "catch them up."
and
2) Understand what pieces of knowledge should every single graduating student have.
Maybe I'm setting the bar to low. I don't know, that is why I am asking.

This looks great, congratulations.
1) Do you have any plans to allow arbitrary RSS as notifications, or integrating with ITTT? This could allow people to create notifications for services that you don't support.
2) While I don't believe everything has to be monetized, I was wondering if you do have a plan to make money, and if you do, would you mind sharing?

Can't the reversed be asked as well? "Why start a brand new company for $24 billion, can't they just buy Dell? Is the culture/supply chain/infrastructure so bad that it has to be scrapped and completely redone?"
I would guess that Michael Dell is betting on the fact it is easier to change the bad parts of Dell, than it is to completely re-build all the good parts.

That might be true, but it does not negate what he is saying. I really like Skimmer,especially compared to the regular site, however I do miss scrolling with my wheel. The point is to A/B test within Skimmer.

I don't think the WSJ is lying to make it's point.The graph can be interpreted differently. Up until 2007 employment seems to be following a fairly regular cycle. In fact right before it seems to be going back up, then there is a sudden drop. That could be what the WSJ is talking about/

I know what you were trying to say, and I agree, but this comment would have been a lot better without its mean and condescending tone.
