Apologies are a way of acknowledging that what has happened was undesirable and wrong. It's also a way of signaling that you will try to prevent it from happening again. Taken from that perspective an apology is useful. Of course, if the ne

In the Wikipedia article it's shown a little bit more formally. It's basically: if you have a block G with the properties that {P ∧ Q} G {P}, you can create a while-loop with the properties that {P ∧ Q} while Q do G end {P ∧ ¬Q}. (In a C li

Interesting numbers. Mine paint a different picture. One of my sites is running 45.79% IE users, of which 26.06% is IE6. Boils down to 11.9% IE6 of the total. Two of my other sites are actually down to 8% and 7%. All sites support IE6... Li

I have never aborted signing up because the form asked for the same information twice. Nor can I imagine doing so if it was obviously intended. I could've done A/B testing and I could've done a full statistical analysis of the results. But
