Experimental CSS and old fashioned browsers

Hello, Is it a good idea to use experimental CSS-properties like border-radius, text-shadow, box-shadow and gradient in a layout today? And what about values like rgba()? When I look at web galleries, these CSS-properties are frequently used and according to articles like on 24ways.org it is not a problem to use these properties. Wha...

What are interesting ideas for experimenting with Artificial Neural Networks?

I'm after a list of possible neural network implementations that can be experimented with. Possibly something that could take an hour to a week to write. What other possibilities are there? Here's the list so far: Games tic-tac-toe Connect 4 Chess Go Sudoku paper/scissors/rock horse racing predictor Visual recognition Character re...

Networking with extremely high latency.

Are there any protocols, systems, etc. experimental or otherwise designed for allowing normal (as normal as can be) network operations (E-mail, DNS, HTML, etc.) over very high latency links? I'm thinking of minutes to an hour, or maybe two. Think light speed lag at a solar system scale. As a side note: research or speculation on the s...

What theoretical and/or experimental programming-language features are there?

I'm designing a programming language, purely for fun, and want to add as many experimental features as I can, just to make programming in it something completely different, and that not in a bad way like Brainf*ck or Malbolge. However, I seem to be quite bad at coming up with new things for it but I'm sure that there are tons of things ...

Trying to remember name of a code visualization experimental tool

I recall a while back seeing an experimental code visualization tool, with the intention being to enable a user to manually track interconnectivity between different parts of their code for the purposes of implementing specific features. In particular, a user could pull out a window into their code and associate it with a completely dif...

Is there programming language which can tolerate runtime errors?

Is there a programming language which can consume the following input: m = 1; n = 2/0; print(n); print(m); and successfully print "1" on the screen? Maturity of that language and quality of implementation doesn't matter much. EDIT: Don't take question explanation literally. I'm not interested in division by 0. I try to find a langua...
