Not really. I assume the OP uses NoScript - it would take a second to enable JavaScript while leaving Google blocked.

I browse with JavaScript disabled, and agree that enabling it is about trust. However, I fail to understand how axod is making the web "a bit more unpleasant"? His message is humorous, and offers more value than no indication of required te

No, but I do donate. Unfortunately, I never can seem to find a donate button on mibbit.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was talking about the 'major' players. IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. (Browsers that have a reach of 5% or more in all the sites I manage.) This is discounting mobile browsers, IE derivativ

I agree, it's definitely bait of some description or another. I don't think it offers "nothing to think about" though. The article is right in that Opera is last in browser market share. Would it be pushing as hard against Microsoft (and fo

It was a generalisation to save my having to type a string of browsers, not a suggestion that Safari/etc don't support those things. The point being that until Internet Explorer supports anywhere near as much as [the rest], or somehow loses

"So why is it that, when it comes to CSS, we’re stuck in the past and so afraid of experimenting?" Because we like our websites to work in more than just the latest version of Firefox?

Seriously? Good luck explaining to my 80-something year old Granddad how to connect to an FTP server through the command line.

I use both. In fact, I can think of at least 12 people off the top of my head who use both. They're not mutually exclusive, after all.

No data sanitisation or recommendations on how to go about it?

I know a lot of etsy sellers (some are men), and their passion for selling their produce is their hobby - what they make, what they craft, that is what they enjoy doing. They certainly don't see it as slavery. > It just seems silly to m

I don't know what I find more disturbing about your response - that you think having a hobby that involves sewing/cooking/gardening is akin to slavery, or your assumption that only women are doing these things (not helped by the article, I

But the professors aren't stupid (one would assume). They're going to know about this guy, remember his site, and very easily compare the work? (Edit: I don't have all the answers, or an opinion on this piece, just playing devil's advocate)

I don't think all 3 leaving at the same time means anything. One would assume that they're probably great friends, and feel that their combined effort in a new project (when the time comes) is better than 1 or 2 going separate ways. That's

Thanks for the insight :) (partic. about founder constraints - no experience in that myself!)

I am not normally a conspiracy theorist, but the first thing that crossed my mind was the whole crappy drama with techcrunch. Have the founders discovered that there was a data leak - and, given their opinions on the matter - decided it bet

My viewpoint depends entirely on what job it is you're doing. As a web developer, it would be incredibly difficult to do my job without the Internet. On the other hand, my partner is a technician in school and constantly battles with teache

As someone who's been lifted from many, many times I feel I should be outraged by this... but I'm not. Given that the linux people aren't using the logo any more, why not just charge the tutoring people X amount for the logo and drop it? I

I don't get it - what's been "ripped"? You can't copyright an idea, so that's a no. Web 2.0 icons - I have those on my site. The words "Upload from your computer" - I have those on my site. A list of the latest stuff being added/uploaded -
