Looking at data storage rates and 'digital permanence': we should be equally concerned that such a government may one day be in power and retroactively use that data against you.

Hrmmm... maybe someone should make a library that would smooth over browser differences and provide a consistent element selection syntax? Call it JavascriptSelection, or jSelection?

I think the ideal is something close to ML-style polymorphism a la OCaml/Haskell, or F# on .Net. The generics in C#/Vb.Net are pretty nice too, but their absence in the language during the design of the original standard libraries

I think the issue you're describing, a massive variance in test and system behaviour, is symptomatic of a poor delineation of the unit/integration test dichotomy. It's almost a skill within a skill, but the moment a mock sta
