Web 'Rules' Changing?
sempf writes "Lots of things have changed since we started this HTML. The IMAGE tag was a nice change, and multimedia with plugins like Flash provide a new look.
What interests me the most, however, is the change in two of the hallowed GUI 'Rules' - the three click rule and the 7 +/- 2 rule. The Three click rule (which states that any page in a site or function in an application should be accessible in three clicks) was just debunked by Josh Porter in an article called Debunking the Three Click Rule. The 7 +/- 2 rule states that a user should never be presented with more than 5-9 choices at any given point in the site or application. James Kalbach has an excellent article debunking that rule at Dr. Dobb's Journal.
Worried that there will be no more 'rules'? Never you mind - the Government has come up with New Rules for us to follow."
There are no 'rules' of the internet as it's not owned by anyone and isn't in any paticular place.
When anger rises, think of the consequences.

That's a bit like finding out that violent conduct is banned in wrestling.
Beep beep.

from the tang-makes-me-ill (how annoying that must be for us, & the folks over at tang.com?) dept.
morons write "What do you think babies aboard the ?other? side of the planet had for Thanksgiving? Roasted turkey? Wrong answer. In "less fortunate" areas, the pateNTdead eyecon0meter tells us, they had little of nothing, and gives details about space in their little bodies, where food ought to be. If the dining view, 200 miles of rough road, is unappealling, preparing 'meals' is even more so. For example, there is no food, so the babies must remain hungry for long periods at +- room temperature. And you need to avoid thinking about this scenario. The real 'stuff that matters' overview contains additional references, and includes directions by the creators, for their/yOUR newclear power, & planet/population rescue initiatives/mandates.
( Read More... | that makes sense )
consult with/trust in yOUR creators... the lights are coming up now in order to assist in the avoidance of overheating the main processor, &, facilitation of the aforementioned ncp/ppr programs/mandates.
for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the execrabilious corepirate nazi perpetraitors of the life0cide against the creators innocents, will not be available to make reparations.
see you there? tell 'em robbIE?

The USA's government is broken. Continues to prop up Microsoft and mandate their products everywhere, even though they are convicted federal criminals. President refuses to admit grevious errors made (or perhaps they were intentional errors?) leading up to major war in Iraq. Two million Americans in prison, one million of which are non-violent, added after the "three strikes" law went into effect. Maybe you think that means "three serious felonies" but it does not. It often means "go back in a person's history and consolidate three misdemeanors into a felony, then lock them up forever"...I don't like violent offenders, but locking people up forever based on misdemeanors is a violation of basic human rights...and most Americans are woefully ignorant that it is happening. Now go write your representative about any of these things, and they will write you back "I support it, as do most Americans, so tough luck buddy!" Now that's some quality government. America has lived too high on the hog for too long, and if there is any truth to the notion of karma, a day of reckoning will come. It will be nasty, and unfortunately, all too well deserved. It is not too late to turn away from greed, lies, and irrational vengeance, and instead embrace policies of cooperation, forgiveness and realistic penalties for poor behavior. Better a little pain now, for the few, for the greater good, than continuing policies that amount to world and national rape, which will demand a terrible toll on the other side, the side that is the future.
How often did US fighters and Soviet MiGs actually engage in 'hot combat'? Where there any incidents in which US fighers shot down MiGs, or the other way round?
