...find a comment here, downvoted to oblivion, simply for stating an unpopular opinion... I agree. It's happened to me a few times. Unfortunately, you can't force people into voting based on the "quality" of an opinion over their moral, e

Part of me likes to believe that the mere fact that so many of us worry about this issue, wish to discuss how to prevent it, and so forth may end up being enough to keep it from happening. I see so few comments here that deserve significant

This is silly. And by silly I mean moronic. You can't outsource an entire start-up, especially without more than $15,000. Hell, we couldn't manage to successfully get a Wordpress template created when we supplied a full PSD and offered $30

Very good points, thanks for the reply! Some things might be inherently pleasurable, or rather are pleasurable just because of the qualia I completely agree! However (and perhaps I misrepresented my own view here by making things too simp

Yes, I do indeed believe it. How, pray-tell, do you know how your life would change if we couldn't die? It's not something you'll ever be able to experience. Hell, as humans we can't even comprehend infinity. That being said, I'd argue that

Life and death, up and down, pleasure and pain, you and me. Without contrast you have nothing. Life wouldn't exist without death, it would just be... nothing. Never experiencing pain would suck because you could never experience pleasure. W

Amazing piece. It makes me feel sorry for all those fish out there, stuck in tanks... and all the people in similar positions as well. I've spent my entire life trying to avoid prisons, whether it's a job I can't get out of or a really lon

I've had to do that with regard to weight training before, I didn't think it was something that could be generally applied though! Thanks for the tips, kaens. I will certainly keep them in mind in the future.

I have this problem every so often; you're not alone. A few weeks ago I don't think I did any meaningful work for an entire week straight. I just screwed around each day, telling myself that the next day would be "super hardcore work day"

You'd be surprised by the breadth of social classifications which scare the US Army. We still use "Fag" as a generalized insult. TIME WARP, BABY!

You treat it like a foregone conclusion that sooner or later we'll all be married with children. I personally cannot think of a single logical reason for bringing another human being into this world. Sounds like an easy way to ruin a perfec

Of course not, but you seemed to be saying that if any semantic meaning is desired, it should be encoded as such and made available separate from the HTML... I don't agree. Take Microformats, for instance. Say you're already displaying Ev

Sure, you can think of creating the best possible environment that makes sense & so that the pages can be used on future browsers & browser like things, but that is dwarfed by the prospect of letting grandma have a website. I woul

I didn't think sensationalism could be this ... sensational. Basically, Google thinks everyone is dumb by adding extra, helpful features to GMail, many of which are opt-in. Google thinks we're lazy, not stupid... and it's right. GMail that

I don't really know what "View Source" has to do with not writing your own HTML, but I completely agree with your argument. I'm not saying I want to always write HTML by hand, I'm saying it should be done until such a time that WSIWYG edi

1. Yeah, I guess I worded that incorrectly, though you can see the tie-in between semantics and how that html is executed (rendered). Using proper semantics = not using tables for page layout = better rendering (under circumstances mentione

by tdavis 18y ago
I disagree, more or less completely. The semantics of HTML matter to the following: 1. Browsers which render the HTML 2. Machines, such as search engines, which "look" at it 3. People who edit the HTML (in the case that it is

Well, at least the "bad guys" are "hackers" ;) I must be in some other group; I buy software based on the value of the software to me. If it's valuable, I will pay for it; if it's something I already know I'm going to use once and never to

Yeah, sorry I didn't clarify better. The real problem likely had something to do with the disk drives as the we'd been having problems with a couple drives on that machine. It basically came down to "re-install software, replace hardware" o

It was a classic addiction: prolonged frustration, occasionally rewarded by a briefly glowing fix of achievement. When you put it like that, I guess I have another addiction. I've been sitting around waiting many a year for someone to fin

If you read this, please tell me what kind of share you are using and what router you have... the issue is profoundly frustrating.
