At the time I posted this, plenty of others had posted their counterexamples. Mine would have just added to the noise. Further, I would submit that it _is_ wrong to let a generalization masquerade as a general truth in public.

I am very close to agreeing with your first paragraph. Yeah, in those situations, you're to blame for being an asshole or rejecting people. But if they respond by beating you over it, the blame for _that_ falls on them. In any case, I thi

The entire article and most of rory's comments in this thread are about what the unpopular do to other people. I'm balancing that.

You've got a lot of living to do if you believe all that, pal. Particularly that last sentence.

I have not verified this myself, but the people you're talking about apparently have reputations and have posted work outside of StockArt. It's highly unlikely that they were just "made up".

I am flabbergasted that this guy gives the Ext documentation a better grade than jQuery's. I have to use both at work, and I can always find what I need very quickly with jQuery, but with Ext I end up hunting, sometimes for hours. Honestl

I am by no means an expert, but shouldn't it be possible for the source's ISP to tell whether the source address is spoofed? edit: Looks like the OP managed a better explanation than I could since I loaded the page. Please disregard.

Have you tried the Firemacs extension for Firefox? I use it with Emacs bindings, but I think it should be able to do an approximation of vi bindings as well.

I don't feel like any trust was violated by xach in showing us this exploit. He clearly wasn't trying to be malicious, so I frankly don't understand all of these people who are so upset about this. It sounds like a lot of pointless whinin

Unfortunately, no. In the spring the sunrise is getting earlier as time goes by. Then the clock jumps forward an hour, which makes sunrise an hour later, causing the repeat the op talked about. In the fall, sunrise is getting later. The c

The title seems a little triumphant for my tastes - wouldn't it arguably be more accurate as "IE6 dips below Firefox in market share"?

And for the second time, "common" and "typical" are synonyms. Furthermore, there is no one case that is "characteristic of the whole set". Apparently, in order to satisfy you, a blog post (!) must cover every type of layout. Awfully dema
