I think they mean that it doesn't show anything about revenue growth or profitability. When we talk about a company growing, you usually think of either revenues growing, or the head-count growing.
What the quantcast measurement does show is the usage of Scribd is growing. And congrats to them on that!
Great that you care about this, but the environmental consequences have been largely invisible to Americans for many years. Be it CO2 or destroyed ecosystems in every oil producing country, the damage is largely done.
I'd hardly blame this rag for the oversight at this point.
Yeah, that's why they're supported in PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, DB2, MSSQL, even SQLite... Multi-dimensional data isn't restricted to the world of GIS, and B-Trees are not up to the task.
The next three by units (Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear) all do commercial/industrial/aviation, I think Goodyear falls out a bit at the top end. 400 tonne trucks use Bridgestone/Michelin, the Airbus A380 uses Bridgestone, for what it's worth.
IE8 and Android 2.4 don't support it for one, but it does seem SVG has never really had traction. I've heard SVG has poorer rendering performance in most browsers (I'm not actually sure if that's true), and that some folks feel it makes it easier for their assets to be copied.
SVG is gaining traction, eg through use of d3.js. svgweb can work as an IE shim. Old Android is a problem, but on the other side Microsoft are doing a good job and pushing SVG in IE9+.
That has always confused me a bit. It seems that most of the stuff that people are doing with canvas requires writing a vector graphics layers on top of it anyway.
Yep, that is what they're referring to. The term comes from newspapers, which are shipped folded across the middle, so that only the half of the front page that's "above the fold" is immediately visible. The web design community adopted the term with essentially the same meaning: the part of the page that's visible when you first get there. So yes, those ads are decidedly above the fold.
Sure, but "the Internet sent me" was a brilliantly concise way to give context to the question (and be funny, and memorable). These Q&A sessions are fast-moving and questions with long rambling introductions are not good ones. "There's a site on the internet called Reddit, which is an aggregator of links with a large community, and I posted there to see..." No.
no actually it's because teenage girls are extremely sexually attractive to most men, of any age, and they enjoy masturbating to pictures of them. get over it.
