IE6 users will only be motivated to upgrade when a significant part of the web no longer supports IE6. Unfortunately, most of the web will only consider dropping support for IE6 when its market share is considerably lower.

"He had been serving a 21 month sentence [in] a federal minimum-security prison camp" 21 months in a minimum-security prison seems doable if you have a wife, child, and several million dollars waiting at home. Or are US prisons really that

"The internal code name for the next version is “Windows 7.” The “7” refers to nothing in particular, a company spokeswoman says." Uhh, how about NT4, 2000, Vista, 7? Anyway, I thought we all agreed that the Mozilla rewrite wasn't a great p

I thought I recognised that, and indeed it is taken partly from http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html . The original is a bit more detailed.

Comments. I've gotten used to dealing with (and refactoring) sub par code and bad architecture, but I'll never get used to comments saying things like "add one to x".

Thanks for all the comments. I will respond to more of them tomorrow. For now, I'm calling it a day.

Exactly. My bad, will fix that tomorrow. (it's late over here)

Technorati would be nice, but their api does not return tags, which means that I can't create a cloud of related tags. The public search (the search box on the main page) is only half of the available functionality. For the other half you h

Always assume that what you write is read by others than you intended. That goes for code, documents, emails, and test data.

It _is_ the Yahoo! logo. paulgraham.com still runs on Viaweb, which is now Yahoo Store, which is probably where the favicon comes from.
