I hope they "acquire" shared hosting that doesn't go down every 8 minutes. They advertise robustness ("designed to handle large spikes of traffic with ease") but then some networking problem on their end, unrelated to traffic, causes all y

Reminds me of the photos taken by my cat via a Pet's Eye View: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kittycam/ That camera was a birthday present, but it led me to finding Mr. Lee's cat cam site, with a lot more hacker-friendly cat devices: http:

I agree — I like to learn new programming languages from books precisely because I have to type in any tutorial material by hand. Thanks for starting this — all this talk of closed systems keeping kids from playing with programming, and whe

"IE has had as its main mission for a decade the prevention of HTML/DHTML/AJAX applications that run with Web standards just as well as Desktop apps" I don't think that's accurate since IE introduced XMLHttpRequest, vital to AJAX.
