Campaigns like this always seem to miss the biggest problem: some of the most common users of IE6 and even IE5 are browsing through corporate or educational networks where upgrading would be a nightmare or nigh-on impossible for the techies

Oh, I only wish I was still running my style switcher. 11 totally different layouts, all using the same mark-up, all with their own unique stylesheet. Just because some people find it hard, doesn't mean it can't be done.

The thing is, the vacuum cleaner moves around. I think that is part of the fear factor for cats. My two were petrified of our shower when it was put in because it's quite noisy, but have both since learned to ignore it. One even sits on the

And this is why I said 'These were just some of the things that annoyed me' - emphasis on the me, if you will. What I find annoying, another may find bliss, and vice versa. Such is life.

Well, it's been a while, but let's see what I can remember! I think, the fact that: * I had to re-map certain keys on my keyboard just to get a usable # key/'real' British keyboard layout - it ultimately meant I had keys labelled as one thi

I love this part: "Don't treat women stereotypically" ...and yet further up the article: "since they have low self-confidence to begin with". Total crap. I can't believe this was written by a woman.

A vanity search turns up nothing, therefore my ego won't let me use your search engine. ;) In all seriousness, I like the way you're going, but I didn't like the way the results are laid out - it just looked sloppy to me.

I have the benefit of having enjoyed the best (and worst) of both worlds. When I was 13 I had a crappy old PC that I used to take apart and fiddle with. When it bust altogether, I pretty much forgot about computers. I reached 14, I lost my

For what it's worth, as a geek girl, I'd rather be with a guy who knew his way around a computer than one who spent his time chasing girls, getting drunk etc (the "normal" young adult things). You just have to find someone to share your lif

No, that's not what I'm saying. Although I agree with the OP that the political stuff is getting dull, I believe you have a point about the guidelines (that means I agree with you). However, complaining that the OP is going against the guid

I think reinventing the wheel has its place. It has two benefits: 1) You get a better grasp of how the wheel works. 2) You may invent a better wheel. Of course, that's not to say that I think everyone should start re-writing everything the

Given that about 14 hours of my average day is spent on the Internet - because I work with it, not because I have no social life... well, maybe that too - a hell of a lot of websites. And how would I know if one of the adverts were what I w

Like I said, by that logic anyone who chooses not to click adverts are also stealing. Do you click every advert you see just to make sure you're compensating for 'stolen' bandwidth, processing power, storage, electricity? FYI: I redistribut

And you are tarring every person who blocks adverts under the same brush - as a leecher. You are assuming that those who block adverts by default don't contribute to websites in ways that more than makes up for the blocking of adverts - the

On the contrary, I think people are more likely to read it because of the "lol they said CRAP!" reaction. I guess that was why the term was 'invented', as opposed to PRAC or RAPC or another less-silly combination. FYI this was where I first

Educate me - which adblocker is it that you know of that removes the adverts from websites and then sells the resulting ad-free site to the user? To suggest that blocking an advert is stealing assumes that the author of the web page would m
