ESPN.com, every males favorite website +/- 2%, switched over to a Cascading Style Sheet to save gobs of internet bandwidth. A style sheet is a group of stylistic preferences a web designer can set to place text or images on a web page. It comes in handy when you use a web page editor and just right click text or an image and apply a style to it. Since ESPN.com has served up to half a billion web pages a month, something had to be done. When switching from the traditional table layout to more dynamic space saving style sheets, they have saved over 730 Terabytes (Terabyte = 1000 GB) a year! That is simply ridiculous.

I must be the 2%. Cause I primarily use Yahoo for my sports info. I don’t understand this, but it sounds cool!
