A bunch of people talking back/forth on one page is hardly a deluge of complaints. Perhaps that list had 15 people? I didn't count. It's an interesting problem I had not thought of, who handles the problems that come up?

This again? Who the hell knows? Who the hell cares? Why do women predominate sewing circles? If women wanted to have math careers they would. Move on to something important. Geez.

I think the author of that article sucks. He got himself in trouble with me by saying his first complaint was XML doesn't handle binary data. wtf? Must be the amateur hour tonight.

There's just something wrong about creating a language with a language to produce about in a third language. As Brian Kernighan told Dustin Hoffman one time, "Learn to code!".

Judging by the language in the title, you're probably right, he's 18. We read those books when I was in high school in 1966.

I'm not sure this Microsoft answer on at least one of those bugs doesn't fit any of those categories: "At this time we do not plan on fixing this issue. We appreciate the report, but unfortunately we are at a stage where need to choose what

It doesn't matter if there are any shortcomings with the iPhone or not. ATT went into partnership with Apple over this and, if they can't handle what it delivers, they should have discovered this beforehand.

I'm 57. I started programming at 52. I was an electronic engineer and the most I ever did was assembly and some C. I own some fast food restaurants and my wife suggested we get online. Long story short, I couldn't spell "web developer" but

I've known this for a year or so and thought everyone else did, too. Only recently did I see stories about this again and was quite surprised.

Any movie that has co-directors means it's going to be bad. Particularly when one of them is not in the film business at all. Yes, I'm aware of the films made by "brothers" but those are exceptions to the rule.

I'm a 57-year old guy and whole-heartedly agree. I'm also less tolerant of those who bring up old ideas as if they were newly discovered except if they happen to have been before their time. However, "stupid ideas" really get me.

It's television news guys, not real news. How do they come up with the cost of replacement parts? And don't SETI programs only run when the machine is idle?

Because I speak my mind, and the truth that many don't wish to hear, I won't do that even though I'd like to.

Yes, using the newer elements. Haven't had a need for the others yet.

How does that affect you? Your HTML markup will work in HTML5, too. In any case, I keep reading no one will use it for years yet most of the leading developers and designers I know are using it today. And I'm joining them since all my marku

So you just make things up as you go along? I don't know. I'd rather write markup that's documented and I know will work.
