If I have something to say I will say it irrelevant of how I feel it will perceived and/or affect my karma. I do find it helps me concentrate on "unstupidifying" what I've got to say though. Nobody wants to see me explain myself 5 times bec

I'm guessing you've never seen the age-old "Internet's worst domain names" or whatever it's called this week? Features the likes of PenIsland and TherapistFinder...

I disagree. People know that they can't change the contents of a greyed out box. Less savvy people may see a box with black text and think that there is something wrong with their computer, keyboard or the web page if they can't click in/ed

I think it's the passion for what they do that differentiates a "rock star" from someone who just does it for the pay. You can have passion without being holed up in your bedroom programming 24/7.

I unexpectedly got 20,000+ u/hits from StumbleUpon to a dynamic PHP page last year on a shared hosting account and there wasn't even a blip - how much traffic are you expecting exactly? I just wonder if you're unnecessarily wasting effort..

I've lost data 3 times due to host cock-ups and I didn't have the correct back-ups in place to fix it. It sucks, I learnt to back-up properly, and I moved on. Certainly didn't require anyone to "take a stand" on my behalf, and I fail to see

I had an excuse - sorry, opportunity - to use the online mockups app this year to generate some basic example page layouts for my boss. I was impressed by the speed at which I was able to just throw things together (normally I spend about 3
