I like how you quote the word designers, it helped me to discount everything you said. However, for what it's worth, of the many stupid (or is it evil?) things you wrote the best was 'how should a screen reader deal with letter-spacing'. Le

Super. So now on top of all the other junk people are putting into their sites without thinking we'll have just one more addition. Soon we'll have websites, if we don't already, that will import more junk than is actually in the website. Al

I read the wikipedia link, it seemed inconclusive. Fossil fuel subsides are less than that of renewables (unless I am reading the article wrong) and that's a 1-1 comparison, fossil fuel must utterly dwarf renewable in terms of revenue. I'm

US pump prices are low because you don't tax it like other countries, that's not a subsidy. Environmental cost? I'll grant you that accidents involving rigs and shipping are spectacular and locally devastating when they happen, but what abo

Agreed. Do yourself a favour and consider the mobile platforms as a blank canvas to explore rather than a castrated desktop experience. (In response to the comment above/below: don't castrate the desktop just to satisfy mobile either! Letti

The landscape has changed considerably since olden days though. "Fluid" layouts of old were no use from a designers point of view because the designer was trying to consider the measure (words per line) as well as the layout, and the varian

Locally a coffee shop is serving free Christmas dinners to the homeless and destitute, they're very grateful for any financial or physical help, maybe there's something like that near you?
