// ----------------------------------------------------------
// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
//     ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
//     ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
//     if (ie) {}

 * versionCompare('1.1', '1.1') =>  0
 * versionCompare('1.2', '1.1') =>  1
 * versionCompare('2.23.3', '2.22.3') => 1

 * Returns:

#Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

It all started with an email from a client: Do these fonts look funky to you? The title is prickly.

The font in question was Port Lligat Sans from Google Web Fonts.

The "prickly" is aliasing caused by lack of hinting

5 entertaining things you can find with the GitHub Search API

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

Today we're looking for:

• The hottest repositories created in the last week.
• The oldest user accounts with zero followers. (So sad.)
• Issue trends by language.
• Clojure projects defying convention.

This is a list of websites that have problems rendering or loading with the Haiku port of WebKit, as well as some general notes about what needs to be done.

CSS Fonts

• http://haikuports.org : use of CSS fonts. Why does this work on github and not here ? Different font rendering mode maybe ? (never works here)
