Maybe many guys out there, when they start to learn how to use CSS, don’t know that when two or more vertical margins meet in a layout, they collaps to form a single margin. Which will be the height of this margin? simple.. the larger of the two margins.
This is true only for block boxes, in the normal flow of the document (not for inline, floated, absoluted positioned boxes..).

How does Windows Live Messenger works? there are millions of users typing messages everyday but maybe few of them ever asked themselves how the messenger really works! so here I wrote a little post about it.

Then the client A tells to his CS who his friends are, the CS subscribes to his friend’s PS to get the presence information that are sent up through the client server connection.
If the client A change his status to OffLine for example, the change goes up to the CS of A, then to the PS of A, then down to the CS of B through the subscription and then down to the client B.
