Re: Tesla Has a Battery to Prevent This!

Wow! I remember those glass cell battery backups from when I was a nipper - my mum's best mate worked on the hospital telephone exchange, and the room behind her station was packed full of them.

I'm firmly of the opinion...

that most of these road planning disasters are the result of a decision taken, must have been around 1991, to remove the ban on bringing coffee mugs into the planning room where all the blue-prints are laid out. It's the only explanation I can think of for the bizarre appearance, over the last three decades, of tens of thousands of roundabouts with no additional roads connecting into them, offset from the natural flow of the traffic by about two lanes width, overlapping with each other or just plain badly built - planners putting their coffee mugs down on top of the road planning documents.

Re: embedded borderless PDF browsing

It means that if you use either an iframe or an embed object tag with an href pointed to a PDF file, and if you pass suitable parameters, then the contents appear without any additional controls, scrollbars, borders etc. I use if for displaying event posters submitted to an upload facility.
